[M] Friends, and New Ones (1/1)

Chen couldn’t sleep that night. All he could do was stare out at the moon from his bedside window. Filled with confliction, the night drew to a close, fairly quickly. Leaving Chen with no sleep, starting another school day in complete exhaustion.---Running filled the halls, as 2 young men sprinted to get to their first class. Munching on bagels with one hand, with papers and books on the other, they were racing to see who could get there first. Pushing, shoving, and corrupting the busy hallways, they finally ran out of breath and took a breather. “Lets take a break Kyungsoo.” He said breathlessly. “Alright then Kai.” He muttered. Kyungsoo and Kai were always together, mostly inseparable, even from Chen. They finally made it to their first class, and deemed the race a tie. Sitting in the corner, early as usual was Chen. Usually studying, but today was different. Kai walked up to Chen and started poking him with a pencil, so that he would wake up. Chen just muttered nonsense and fell back into his peaceful dream state. Kai looked puzzled at the sleepy Chen. Kai called Kyungsoo over, to see if he could do anything. “How do we wake him up Kyungsoo?” Kai said. “Did you bring your water bottle?” Kyungsoo said with a smirk on his face. Kai pulled out a water bottle from his backpack. “Are we really doing this?” Kai said while laughing. Kyungsoo unscrewed the water bottle, and put it over Chen’s face.

Chen was extremely confused at what just happened, finding his upper body soaked. “Why did you guys pour water on me!” Chen said annoyed at the fact that he was wet. “There wasn’t any other way you were going to wake up from your deep sleep.” Kai said.“It was Kai’s idea.” Kyungsoo tried to say innocently enough. “Bullshit Kyungsoo, I knew it was your idea.” Chen said while laughing. The three proceeded to all laugh, and found themselves talking. Chen wasn’t quite fully awake yet, and decided to change. He went to the bathroom, and washed his face as well. Once he was fully awake, after the early morning chaos, he then had a mini crisis in his mind again. He had just remembered the diary. Probably in the worst timing possible too. Taking a test at that. But quickly and coolly dismissing it from his mind while focusing to finish the test. This was a part of Chen’s personality being hardworking and prioritizing school. That was his goal to finish school to make his parents proud of him. But for some reason throughout his day, he would keep remembering the diary at the worst times. Finally during lunchtime he found some time to go fin
