Chapter four

I stroll through the hallway to get to my classroom when Ni-Ki and Heeseung walk around the corner, Ni-Ki puts up his hand and waves

I look around confused, noticing no one else is in the hallway and I look back at him, he has a small smile on his face, staring at me

He's waving at me?

I slowly raise my hand and wave back and Heeseung laughs and pushes him into our classroom, I put my hand back down and enter the classroom myself

But before I can get in, a girl stands in front of me

"You dating Ni-Ki?" she puts her hand on the door frame, blocking my way into the classroom

"Uhm no?" I question nervously and she laughs

"You're cute" She reaches out and begins playing with a strand of my hair, but she grips it tightly and pulls my face towards her

"Stay away from him or you'll have me to deal with" She threatens and then she pushes me back, letting go of my hair

"Bye!" She smiles widely before walking ofd down the hallway, I look back at her as she enters another classroom, blowing me a kiss as she walks in

I walk into mine, almost about to let tears fall down my face but I stop myself, it won't happen again

Right?

I slump down on my seat beside Jiwon as she greets me with a smile, "So hockey game today, you're going right?" She asks

"I've never been to one" I admit

"There's a first time for everything, I'll get Jay to pick you up before we go, write your address on this" She hands me a pink sticky note and I write my address, handing it back to her

"Oh you're quite far" She mutters

"But it's okay, I'll force Jay to" She smiles putting the sticky note in her bag

I pull clothes out of my dresser and begin to get dressed, I put on navy blue shorts and tight white shirt, I also pick out a navy blue hat to match the shorts and my white converse

I hear a car beep outside and I look out my window to see a black car and I can spot Jay in the front, I grab my phone and run downstairs locking the door behind me as I walk up to the car

Jay points to the backseat and I open the door, seeing Jungwon and Heeseung moving over so I can get in

I get in and shut the door behind me, "You got petrol money? This was one hell of a drive" Jay asks me

"Oh uhm yeah—" I rummage through my bag and pull out my purse

"I'm joking" He laughs driving off

"She's so innocent" Heeseung mutters but loud enough for me to hear him

"Who are you guys playing tonight?" Jiwon asks

"Cheong-san high" Jungwon informs and my heart sinks

No

They can't be

Why?

"They are so trash" Heeseung laughs

"Especially their caption, Gunwoo"

Gunwoo

The boy I had a crush on for years, he was always nice to me, the only person who was nice to me

He used to say hi anytime he passed me and he'd make small talk anytime we were on clean up duty together

"Wait Haerin, what school did you transfer from again?" Jay asks

"It was umm Cheong-san" I admit

"Holy shit we have got a rival in this car! Pull over now, she's an imposter!" Heeseung yells and Jungwon slaps his shoulder whispering a "shut up"

"Oh I can meet your old friends, you'll introduce me right?" Jiwon turns to look at me

"Oh I'm not so sure if they will be there" I lie not wanting to admit the truth, that i had no friends

I hear Heeseung snicker but I just ignore him and sit silently until we arrive at Cheong-San high, the hockey game is at their school

The boys go to the locker room to get ready and me and Jiwon find a seat, front row to watch the game

"How good were they went you went here?" Jiwon asks me

"I never went to hockey games or really paid attention, so I'm not too sure, but I think they were good" I respond honestly

"Hopefully we will win" She smiles

We just talk until both the teams come out, half of the seats cheer for Cheong-San as they take their positions on the ice

I spot Gunwoo and it seems he also spotted me as he sends me a quick smile and a wave

"You're friends with him? Heeseung will not be happy" Jiwon chuckles as our team comes out onto the ice and Jiwon stands up and begins cheering for them

She grabs my hand and forces me to stand up as well and I just clap for them and we both take our seats again

It's halfway through the game and Dream high is currently winning by two points and I have to admit, Heeseung is on fire

His passes and goals are carrying us right now, I'm not too sure we would be winning without him

"He's good" I say to Jiwon, keeping my eyes on Heeseung

"I know, he's a dickhead but oh boy is he good at hockey" She agrees with a chuckle

I keep my eyes on him for the whole game and by the end of it, we won

"I'm gonna go congratulate them!" Jiwon jumps up excited as all Dream High students run down to where the locker rooms are

"I'm just gonna go to the toilet, I'll meet you at the locker rooms?" I ask

"Yeah that's fine, be safe" She hugs me slightly before running off to go congratulate her brother and the team as I make my way to the toilets

Just as I'm about to enter a hand lands on my chest, preventing me from moving

"Haerin" I recognise the voice immediately as the girl I hate the most

"You haven't been in school, are you avoiding me?" Nari asks

"N-no of course not" I step back nervously and my back hits another one of her friends

"Come" She grabs my arm and takes me away from the toilets and into the parking lot, pushing me against a wall

"I have had to pay for my own lunch the past couple of days" She kicks my leg and I stumble to the ground, tears pooling in my eyes

"Oh wait" She giggles as she pulls something out of my bag

"Dream high, you on the enemies team now huh?" Her foot steps on my hand as I groan in pain

"I-I" I can't get any words out as their laughter fills my ears and I just put my head down in embarrassment

"Did you seriously think you would never see me again by switching schools?" Nari kneels down and grips my hair, pulling my head back

"Ha she's crying" They all laugh at me

"Trust me bitch..." She begins

"You won't ever get away from me and just for trying, I'm gonna make sure you're never happy in your new school—" She lifts up her hand to slap me and I turn my face away but her hand never collides with my face

I open my eyes to see someone gripping her wrist and pushing her away from me

"Five on one?" I look up at see my saviour, for the second time

"Heeseung" I faintly whisper, surprised

"You're pathetic, leave" Heeseung grips my wrist and lips me off the floor

"Heeseung, I—" Nari tries to speak but he cuts her off

"Save it" He begins walking away, hand still gripped around my wrist

"Why don't you go on a date with me?" She runs up and grips his arm, he shoves her off him

"But we're the enemy, remember?" He responds coldly

"You're choosing her over me?! She's a slut!" Nari exclaims pissed

Heeseung just laughs at her and drags me to to Jay's car, opening the back door, "get in" he demands

"Why did you do that?" I ask

"I could've handled it myself" I lie

"Handled it? You were on the ground, there was five of them and one of you, your pathetic for getting yourself into a situation like that" He throws me my bag and pushes me into the car, slamming the door so I can't get out

I slump back in my seat and wait for the other to arrive, impatiently

Him protecting her???!!!

Except for the fact where he's kinda blaming her but still, husband!
