y/n slammed her book and leaned back. She looked up to the social media to find her name trending in countries. after a long time scrolling down, she sighed and texted isla.
[Im bored. up for shopping?]

[I can tell why...]

Jay looked annoyed as he leaned against the wall. "I have terrible fashion sense. I cant help you with anything." y/n ignored him and kept looking. "try this on." she pushed a t-shirt against his chest. Jay looked at it in disapprovely. "I dont need anything for myself. let's move on." he walked away from the store, leaving the other hanging.
They walked through the halls while touring various stores. y/n approached one of them when a beautiful dress came to her view. she kept looking at it. Jay noticed it and walked up to her. "You should try it."

she came out of the dressing room while looking absolutely gorgeous in that dress. her presence was stealing all the spotlights from the room. Jay blushed as he stared at her. he couldnt move away his gaze.
"so...how do I look?" she asked while giving a spin. "you look beautiful miss." the female worker compliments her. Jay was still avoiding her eyes. "can we leave now if you're done...", he puts his hands in his pocket and walks away. y/n sulked a little . but she accepted it knowing how he is, stiff and cold. but a softie inside.

It was almost nine o'clock when Jay and
y/n were heading back. they walked down the roads while chatting. just when they were passing by the park, y/n ran inside. Jay smiled and followed. she stopped and sat down on a swing "I win!". Jay sat next to her. both of them were calm now and looking at the sky. It was full of stars. Their sway was moving slowly with the wind.
"....jay?" the other hummed in reply. "have you ever been in a relation? I never saw you interested in anyone..." she received no answer from him. she looked taken aback with her words. "It's okay if you dont wanna talk about it-"
"it's not something I dont wanna talk about. more of...I have nothing to say about it. because... I never experienced it. I heard It only happens once. I want it unexpectedly with someone unexpected. I just want it to be true enough." y/n nodded in understanding. she never thought Jay could be so thoughtful. she was amazed by his way of thinking.
Just then, Her phone rang up. she took it out from her bag and checked the ID. Her face was brightened up after seeing the name. "Felix". just after it was answered, she was startled with a scream from the other side "y/n!!! Congrats! Im so happy for you!!!"
While felix and y/n were busy in their conversation, Jay stood up from the swing and walked to a corner. He leaned on a wall and stared at her. he stared as she laughed and smiled. he kept repeating the words he said to her."'someone unexpected' huh?"
""—*—3 years ago —*—""
"May I come in?", y/n opened the door of teacher's room. the teacher permitted her while gesturing his hand. as she walked inside, a figure shifted in one of the chairs. but she couldnt make out the face since the person was facing ahead. she took the seat beside it and noticed the person. Ezra, one of her bullies. she had countless wounds and cuts on her face. convincing that she was beaten. "miss Ezra complained that you tried to attack her."
the other was shocked with her fabrication. before she could reply, ezra spoke out, " It is the truth. look at my condition. It's all her fault."
"I didnt do anything. I didnt even see you this morning-"
"Enough Miss Lee. I don't want any more lies. you're suspended for a week and I ask for your parents' presence right now."
