Friend or foe (1/1)

The annoying sound of the pororo alarm clock amplified the room, sending almost decibel-breaking sound waves. If the alarm was not enough, the bedroom door was being pounded hard, the mahogany almost seem to give way from every beating. “Do Kyungsoo, you have five minutes before I breakdown this door. Wake up you pig or we are going to be late for school again!” the deep and husky-like voice roared from the other end of the door. The body finally stirred from his slumber from the intimidating threat knowing the voice always mean business plus he did want to replace his door for the third time in a month. Grabbing hold of his bedroom post, he gave an audible low groan to announce his awakening. He stood up to open his window, letting in a barrage of sunlight which illuminated the entire room. Covering his eyes from the sudden luminosity like a vampire, the impending thought of Monday gave Kyungsoo despicable thoughts.  After a brief wash up in the connecting bathroom, he heads back into his room to get ready for the day. Putting on his mundane mustard-coloured school uniform he could not help but dejected that the weekends were over so quickly and the week was starting again. Finally grabbing his haversack and headed to open his door, comforted that it was still intact and headed downstairs. “Good morning sleeping beauty, faster have breakfast. You always keep Chanyeollie waiting.” Mrs Do said while smiling towards the dark-haired with pointy ears similar to those like Star War’s Yoda, earning a sedulous smile back. Giving a nod as an acknowledgement, Kyungsoo settled down into a seat and started to devour his meal. After fulfilling their appetite, both boys bade farewell to the petite lady and started walking down the familiar route to school.  The dreading feeling of spending the next half a day supposedly gaining knowledge was a chore to Kyungsoo. He had known what is needed to be known, always excelling in quizzes and tests without the need to even study much. Of course it brought much jealousy towards his classmates, intimidating them with his knowledge prowess and sometimes even earning the attention of bullies. Kyungsoo’s petite and narrow shoulders made him an easy bullying target since middle school. All these did not seem to bother the tall docile giant beside him, Park Chanyeol. Both boys have stuck together ever since Kyungsoo had ran into a group of school bullies back during their freshmen year. Chanyeol acting as the personal bodyguard for the petite, narrowed-shoulder boy made Kyungsoo feel comfortable and secured. Every morning would be the usual routine of Chanyeol waiting for Kyungsoo before both boys headed to school together. The habitual routine had once earn a distasteful disagreement from Chanyeol’s boyfriend, class president Kim Junmyeon. Junmyeon was getting more possessive of his boyfriend who always seemed to be spending more time with his best friend instead of him but over time Junmyeon began to falter and accepted that Kyungsoo indeed needed some form of protection.  Finally reaching the school gates after the short walk, Junmyeon sneered at Kyungsoo before grasping his boyfriend by the arm and dragging the giant away from Kyungsoo. Chanyeol turned back and mouthed to see the latter in class. Walking into the hallway towards his locker he had to squirm his way pass taller and bulkier size students who packed the hallway, each gathered in small groups to catch up on their short-live weekend away from school. Finally reaching his locker, he could not help but observe the tanned and ripped boy on his right who was surrounded by a group of similar physique, oblivious to their surroundings and just plainly socializing. The tanned boy was a year younger than Kyungsoo was and although Kyungsoo was known as the top elitist student, his popularity was no match for Kim Jongin. With such a charming and mighty body like that, almost every girl and boy from the student population wanted a piece of him. Unfortunately, Kim Jongin or Kai as he is widely known as, has a black hole. Of course no one is perfect and there is always a flaw in such a charming person. Kai likes Kyungsoo’s best friend, Park Chanyeol. Kyungsoo had gave Chanyeol many tipoffs on the fact the high school’s popular boy has a crush on him but Chanyeol does not seem to even care. The school bell finally rang and a stout middle-aged teacher came out of the teachers’ office, yelling for all students to get going to class. After grabbing the needed books for the day, Kyungsoo took a final turn towards his right, catching a glimpse of Kai who bowed at the teacher before heading into the opposite direction. Taking his seat in front of Chanyeol, first period soon began. The charming young teacher was introducing new learning materials for the class to understand the law of physics to keep the class entertained. Working in groups of three, Kyungsoo swears it was the most interesting physics lesson he had in a while. Of course it was not due to the laws taught but the drama unfolding in front of him. Junmyeon wanting to go on a date with Chanyeol who kept evading his advances, sighting the fact that he had dance class after school. “It would not be a date if he tags along! He can protect himself, can’t you Kyungsoo?” Junmyeon bellowed. Kyungsoo snickered before nodding his head. Physics was finally over & history was next. Chanyeol thanked the heavens that he finally could have a breather since Junmyeon does not take history. After reassuring to meet at the cafeteria for lunch, Chanyeol hunched forward, back hugging Kyungsoo after Junmyeon was out of sight. “You dug yourself your own grave idiot,” Kyungsoo reminded the boy, earning a groan. Halfway through the lesson, Kyungsoo turned back only to be greeted by a snoring Chanyeol who had drooled onto his shirt. Disgusted and mentally drained himself, he decided he earned himself a nap till end of lesson. Why bother learning about Hitler?  The lunch bell soon sounded and the student population seemed to spill out onto the hallway heading towards the cafeteria. Meeting Junmyeon at the entrance of the cafeteria, the trio went to their usual table down the room which was situated next to where Kai & his entourage sat since each had packed lunch. Kyungsoo could not help but feel breathless every time he walked pass the table, able to take a glimpse on the tanned boy but today was different, just as he walked pass the table he suddenly felt his legs entangled and fell forward. “Come on Kris that was low and immature” Chanyeol hollered, managing to grab onto Kyungsoo before the boy fell face flat onto the concrete floor. “It’s not my fault he was not looking where he was going” retorted Kris, giving his friends hi-fives. Before Chayeol could inflict a punch, Kai intervened. “I’m sorry Chanyeol and Kyungsoo are you okay? Sorry…maybe both of us can grab some bubble tea after dance practice today?” Jongin nervously asked. “He has a boyfriend here hello, am I invisible or something?” Junmyeon snapped before grabbing Chanyeol away towards their table and Kyungsoo followed suit. Junmyeon continued to show his displeasure with Jongin who always seem to take chances like this to ask his boyfriend out. Kyungsoo ate his sandwich silently, mindful that if only he knew how to protect himself, this would not have happened. School finally ended for the day much to Kyungsoo’s rejoice. Apart from the slip up during lunch break, the day remained mundane & uninteresting. Lessons were unappealing and he had completed all his homework without even listening to the teachers. All he wanted now was to get home to continue his sleep. Since Chanyeol had dance practice, Kyungsoo had to walk home with his best friend’s boyfriend. Kyungsoo wished he at least could do a body wave without looking like a flopping fish, only then he would be able to join dance class. Not only was Kyungsoo able to spend more time with Chanyeol, he’d also get to see Jongin who was in the same practice. “I guess I’d see you tomorrow at the gates as usual. If Chanyeol calls you to come over for bubble tea, just say you’re busy or something. Don’t even think of coming!” Junmyeon warned before finally walking away and waving at Kyungsoo.
