You managed to keep awake, only after you felt Mark's hand slowly and cautiously make it's way to intertwine his own in yours. You smiled slightly from it and continued to follow the teacher with his power point.

"Class dismissed!" He said as the bell rang. You immediately got up and grabbed your bag, heading over to the door.

"Hey! Wait, we have study period. Can we talk?" He pulled your arm back towards him.

"I- yeah. Fine, let's talk." The halls were empty and you two were just standing by your locker as you switched out books and materials.

"I wanna make this public. Why should we hide that we're dating? You already-"

"Mark it's not that." You cut his words off.

"The what?" He asked you.

"I'm just-"

"Scared?" He finished your sentence as you nodded sheepishly.

"I'm scared." A pink and red blush creeped onto your cheeks. Your gaze turned back onto your locker instead of looking at him.

"Of what?" He asked you. His hand grabbed yours in a soft and loving way.

"Of opinions. What would people think of us?"

"Who cares?" He pecked your cheek, earning a small smile from you. You heard a gasp from behind you.

Your eyes widened and looked behind you only to see almost all of your friends standing there, their mouths wide open, agape from the shock.

"Now I see why you're scared."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We are not letting any if you go until you tell us what the fuck happened back there."

"Can you jus-"

"Do you not trust us? This is big Mark."

"Can we ex-"

"Do you have something against u-"

"CAN I FREAKING EXPLAIN MYSELF?!" You burst out, annoyed that they kept interrupting you.

"Go ahead. You better have a good reason for me not to tell your brother." David says, making you and Mark nervous.

"Listen, about 2 weeks ago, we started to date." You put it simple for them as they all erupted in screams.

"TWO WEEKS?!" Ten screeched in disbelief.

"Yeah. Now, can we-"

"(Y/N), you just broke out sister code." May frowned as you broke a promise you had with her.

"Girl, was this after the party?"

"OH MY GOSH CAN WE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW WE STARTED DATING?!" You exploded as Mark laughed.

"I'll take it from here." He pats your back as you calm down from your outburst.

"Go ahead." Johnny leaves the stage for Mark to explain the whole story. He was actually interested in knowing what happened over such short time.

"So we wanted to keep it a secret because of reasons. We each have different reasons. But in the beginning, we agreed to at least be a week into our relationship before seeing if it'll actually work out. Which it has. So..." He trails off as all of your friends and his get the idea of what happened.

"Still don't understand why it's a secret, but it isn't anymore so whatever." Aira shrugs, acting super chill about this whole situation.

"Does anybody else know?" Ten asked you.

"Just us." You answered him as all of your friends nodded.

"By the way you owe me $20 Mark." Johnny says and Mark looks at him in disbelief.

"What the hell why?" He furrowed his eyebrows trying to recall any bet he made with Johnny.

"You know why." He smirks playfully and he groans, passing him a $20 bill as Johnny smiles.

"I have enough money for a coffee!"

"Why does that sound like something I would say?" You laughed and everyone did too.

"That's because you did. Yesterday." Mark rolls his eyes and you laugh.

"Oh? Y'all have already had dates?" Sori raises her eyebrows while smirking playfully.

"Maybe?" You chuckled awkwardly because you were flustered.

You could only feel the stare of a certain person on you. It felt genuinely hateful, but you shook it off.

The bell rings and you were confused as to what happened.

"Did we just spend a whole 40 minutes talkin' 'bout this?" June questioned as you all nodded.

"Seems like it. See you later." Aira waved goodbye as she headed to her next class.

"Bye!" You all went opposite directions but you and Mark stood still.

"Is dance your last class?" He asked you and you nodded. "What do you say we get out of here after class?"

"I'm down." You smiled sheepishly, obviously awe-struck in love.

"Okay." He smiled the same way you did.

"Okay." You squeaked out after him.

He leans down and kisses your lips quickly while heading off to his last class.

You stood there and only giggled from the feeling. And yet again did you feel a pair of eyes on you again. And it obviously wasn't Mark since he was heading down the hallway. And it wasn't Hanna since she was off with the group of girls in the courtyard.

Yet again, you shook off the feeling. It was probably nothing.

It seemed unreal to be living in this world where you found someone so important in your life that you could spend every second with them. It was great.

But you imagined it would never be you in that scenario because that thought just never crossed your mind. Being in a relationship where you actually liked the other person. Not just liked, but loved.

Smiling, you head on over to the bathroom quickly before going to next class that was in 5 minutes or so.

Hanna and her friends walked into the bathroom and began to plan something.

"So (Y/N)'s dating Steven Yoon?"

"As in the Steven Yoon?" One of her friends ask. Hanna nods.

"Yes. As in the famous Steven Yoon. Look at the pictures." She showed her friends the images she captured of you and Steven hugging and going to the backroom together.

"What a hoe. I saw she was kissing Mark today and everything."

"Oh, she was all over him." Hanna scoffed at that. "Disgusting."

"I know right. But it's not like Mark likes her anyways."

You couldn't bear hearing everything and peeked through the crack in the stall, seeing Hanna and all of her obnoxious and plastic friends.

"Weren't you with Mark last night?" One of Hanna's friends ask her. She nods in response.

"Let's just say that rumors are true about rappers being good kissers and dancers being good in bed." She giggled along with all of her friends.

"Did he say anything about her?"

Your insides twisted and tumbled.

"Only that he loved me. I even have a recording of it. Look." She played a video on her phone and you could clearly hear the audio.

"Mark, I thought you had a girlfriend though." You could hear that she was breathless and heard kissing sounds. You felt nauseous already.

"Who?" It was clearly his voice. It sounded exactly like him. And you were pissed. Not sad, but pissed.

Her friends' giggles brought you out of your thought process.

"Fuck, it's time to go." One of them says as the others sigh.

"Ugh, let's go. 3 minutes left." Hanna says as they all exit the bathroom.

You were left in your stall all alone. Your thoughts all bubbled up and clouding your head.

You were numb.

Everything that was all happy and rainbows now seemed gray and colorless. It was bland. Everything was the same now.

Only one emotion engulfed you.

Rage.

Prove it to me, huh? Fuck you Mark Lee.
