45: Staying At School

JAMIE POV

Flashback"So... how does my leg look, doctor?" I asked. The doctor held up an X-ray of my leg, and he pointed to the picture as he explained my condition.

"Well, you see, a lot has healed already. The rate at which you are healing is remarkable, but I'm afraid your leg is not completely healed yet. You see, if it were a minor break, it would take around six to eight weeks to heal, but in your condition, where your bone was almost completely snapped in half, the expected amount of time it would take to heal would be around thirteen to twenty weeks." He said. My eyes widened.

"What?! That's five months! I can't use my leg for five months?!" I asked. I wanted to cry and scream, but nothing came out.

"Now wait, like I said, your recovery rate is remarkably fast, compared to the average person. You must be really athletic, or your body must circulate fast. It has been a little over three weeks, and your leg is already a little less than halfway healed. I would predict that you would be okay to do activity again in about a month or a month and a half, if your body keeps healing your bone in the quick rate it's going." He said. My eyes widened. What? That quickly? Wow...

"That's great!" Elizabeth cheered.

"Yeah, you're very lucky Jamie. Your body must really want to heal and move again." The doctor said. I smiled.

"You have no idea." I said.

End of Flashback.

"So? What did the doctor say?" Jimin, Jungkook, Taehyung, and Rachel asked in first period. They all stared at me with big, hopeful eyes.

"Well... an average person with my injury would take around three to five months to recover..." I started. Their eyes widened even more, especially Jimin's.

"FIVE MONTHS?!" He asked. I laughed.

"BUT... my body is healing faster than an average rate... about two times faster because I should be able to dance again in about a month or a month and a half." I finished.

"Really?! That's great Jamie!" Rachel said. Jimin sighed in relief.

"Oh thank God. So... that means we can dance together again soon!" He said and I nodded happily. "We have around three more months until championships, so we have plenty of time to practice. We have three more competitions left, one today and two in the next two months, so you will be able to join in the last competition and championships!" Jimin explained with an excited tone. Momo, who was sitting quietly next to him, just stared at him.

"A month is still a long time, but I hope it goes by quickly." I sighed. Jimin came over and slung one arm over my shoulder, pulling me closer.

"It will, don't worry." He said. I turned to face him, his face 3 centimeters away from me. I smiled at him and turned back around as my heart began to race.

"So, how was your date yesterday?" I asked Taehyung and Rachel. They both paused, then blushed. I raised my eyebrow at them. What happened?

"Jamie are you going to go with us to the competition?" Jimin asked. I shrugged.

"I don't know... I want to go but I don't think I should miss my classes if I'm not going to compete." I said. He nodded.

"Stay then. I know how important it is for you to get good grades." He smiled.

"Come on Jimin, we have to get dressed." Jin called for Jimin. Jimin nodded to his hyung and turned back to me.

"I'll see you here after to choreograph okay?" He asked. I nodded and he gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

"Good luck." I said. He smiled, nodded, then left to get changed. Meanwhile, I turned around and joined Rachel as we went to fifth period, because we knew that the bell would ring soon.

By the time we got to my Spanish class, the bell rang. I quickly sat down and took my stuff out.

"So what happened on your date that made you two blush so hard earlier?" I asked Rachel, wriggling my eyebrows at her. Her eyes widened as I saw her turn red once more.

"N-Nothing." She said. I gave her a pout.

"Your not going to tell me? Woooow I am hurt!" I said. She giggled.

"Fine... the zoo was nice. We fed animals and laughed. I don't know... I guess I saw a new side of him, that I never knew was there. He wasn't playful and childish... he was... serious, sweet, and caring. I just felt so protected by him. Then it got dark so Taehyung wanted to take me to a secret place at the zoo. He said that he wanted to take me there so I followed him. I can't say what or where it was, but I was so touched. We had a... moment." She said. I turned to see her smiling wildly to herself.

"What kind of moment?" I asked.

"I don't know... he leaned in, I leaned in... blah blah blah." She said. I bursted out laughing. So they had a make out session at the zoo...

"AWW that's cute. I'm happy for you two." I said. She smiled.

"Thanks... how are you and Jimin?" She asked. I shrugged.

"We're fine. Nothing new really happened but... I don't know I feel uncomfortable with Momo there. Especially after what happened between them." I said. Rachel nodded.

"I understand. She bothers me too, like how can she just take your spot!" She raged.

"I mean I am injured so I understand that, I just... Okay don't tell anyone this... but I'm scared that I'll lose Jimin." I said. Her eyes widened.

"Woah woah slow down girl. That boy loves you, I can see it. In fact, the whole school sees it. Even Momo sees it. I don't think you should worry about losing him." She said. I giggled. That made me feel better.

"Thanks..." I said.

"You guys will be fine. Oh hey! Do you want to go on a double date with me and Taehyung today? We can go to the movies or something." Rachel suggested.

"Jimin and I can't today, we're supposed to work on our choreography for championships." I said.

"Oh, then how about tomorrow? Since it's the weekend, we can hang out the whole day?" She asked. I smiled.

"Sounds fun, let me text Jimin." I said. I took out my phone.

To: JiminieFrom: me

Hey, Rachel wants to go on a double date tomorrow, what do you say? Wanna go to the movies and hang out with her and Taehyung tomorrow?

I sent it and waited for a reply. Meanwhile, a figure sat down next to me.

"Hey Jamie." Minho said. I looked up from my phone to see him smiling

"Hey Minho." I greeted back.

"We have a home game today... wanna come and watch? It starts at sixth period." He said. I smiled.

"Sure." I answered. Minho suddenly cheered.

"Well! I guess I'm winning the game today! My good luck charm will be there." He said as he winked at me. I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"You better not lose!" I said. Then, my phone vibrated and I got a reply from Jimin.

To: meFrom: Jiminie

Sure! Sounds fun! But they better not try to one-up us again :)

I giggled at his answer.

To: JiminieFrom: me

Haha okay good luck! Fighting Jiminie I love you!

"We're in!" I said to Rachel, who cheered in return.

Fifth period ended, so Minho, Rachel, and I got up to leave.

"I'm going to go with Minho to watch his game. I'll see you later." I said to Rachel, who narrowed her eyes at Minho.

"Keep your hands to yourself and don't cause trouble. I'm watching you." She said as she poked her finger into Minho's chest. Minho stared at her with childish eyes and a wide smile.

"No worries, I'll take great care of your friend." He said. I laughed.

"Okay okay let's go." I said as I dragged Minho away. As we walked to the gym, Minho greeted the students walking past us, who were all giving me weird looks. I guess they found it weird for me to walk with a guy other than Jimin or someone from Bangtan.

Once we got to the gym, I sat on the bottom row of bleachers, with a clear view of the game.

"I'm going to go get changed. Don't go anywhere." He said. I nodded as he ran off.

After a while, people started to crowd into the gym, and like last time, I waited for the game to start. After a while, the teams finally made their way to the court and started practicing. I watched as Minho shot me a wink and smile, before shooting a three-pointer and making it in. I smiled as he jumped in happiness. Something tells me today is going to be a good game day for Minho.

After two hours of laughing, cheering, and shouting, the game finally ended with the score of 67-42, a game we won. The crowd cheered as the final buzzer rang, indicating the end of the game. Our team huddled and chanted their motto, hugging each other and enjoying the presence of the crowd. I waited for the crowd to disperse, once again being the last one in the gym. The boys disappeared into the locker room and soon reappeared, all washed and dressed. By that time, school was over, so everyone was allowed to just go home.

I watched as a loud and energetic group of boys approached me. Key, Onew, Jonghyun, Taemin, and Minho all smiled at me.

"Hey! It's great that you came!" Onew said, sliding next to me on the bleachers.

"Yeah! I heard your cheering and it gave me so much motivation!" Taemin added.

"I told you, you're my lucky charm." Minho said. I giggled.

"It was a really good game guys. Jonghyun! That lay-up you did in second quarter was amazing! Those guys were like two feet taller than you!" I complimented.

"Thanks! I was hoping someone would give me recognition for it." Jonghyun said, looking to his friend. Minho scoffed.

"Oh please, it wasn't as awesome as my 3-point winner." He boasted.

"We were already ahead! We would have won without it!" Onew teased. The boys drew into an argument, leaving me laughing at their immaturity. Then suddenly, a huge bang revealing the opening of the gym door caught everyone's attention, and as we turned, there we saw, Park Jimin, with a furious expression and clenched fists.

What's wrong with him?
