(Alex's P.O.V.)
Life is interesting… Very interesting. I know some people say that it can be boring, and I have to agree that life does have it's moments, but you have to enjoy those moments no matter what. You can always find ways to make those boring moments not so boring. That's what one of my best friends, Taeyeon, did. How did she make those moments go away? Two words… Paper Airplanes. It was one of the few rainy days that we get, and I find rain very interesting, but Tae, who sits on the other side of class from me, away from the windows, does not. She finds throwing paper planes at my head while the teacher wasn't looking interesting.
I was staring out the window again, watching the rain collect into a mass puddle of water on the sidewalk that curved along the side of the building I was peering out of, totally ignoring the constant lectures that seemed pointless from the World History teacher at the front of the class, when I felt something whack against the right side of my head. Again. I turned to face the other side of the room where I saw Taeyeon sitting there like nothing had happened. I then looked down and saw yet another paper airplane the had landed near my feet. The very tip of the plane crumpled from where it had attacked me.
I picked up the 8th one that class period and stuffed it inside my desk. Tae definitely has a very good aim. I also wondered when she would run out of paper, or realize that she actually needs the paper for her school work. My three best friends, including Taeyeon, as well as Orient and Luna, didn't enjoy school as much as I do. Tae loves to play video games, eat pizza, and listen to Kpop while dancing around our shared apartment all day. Orient was probably the most talkative out of our group of the four of us. But she's also the "protector" of the group. If one of us was getting picked on, or she had a crush on somebody, she wouldn't be scared to step up and keep them straight or go flirt with the poor boy. Of course we have Luna, every group of friends needs a joker, but she's not like the class clown kind of joker, no, she's actually really sweet, even a bit shy at first. I knew this when I first met her with Orient being the one who usually does most of the talking. Luna's the only one who has a boyfriend in the group, who has still failed to make an appearance. Apparently Orient has met the "Ashton" fellow once or twice when they first started dating, but Luna and him only hung out alone after that.
Then there's me. The really, extremely, awkward one of the group. Tae can dance, I can not. Orient is great at talking to people, where as I talk either extremely fast or really quiet until the person has asked "What?" the fourth time. Luna has a great relationship and is as sweet as can be, while I'm nice, but not in the mornings… Oh no, I'm a dragon in the morning. No, of course I do not breath fire, that would be dangerous.
So yeah, that's our group I guess.
I was about to totally doze off on the lecture when the bell suddenly rang. "Thank you!" I said, a little too loudly and got up from my seat. "Tae! Let's head to lunch so we can get good seats." I said as we walked out of the classroom. I was walking probably a little too fast for Tae. I'm a few inches taller, so I tend to be faster than her a lot of the time.
We reached the lunch area, and since it was raining we ate inside. "Can you see Luna or Orient?" I asked. "Me?! You're the tall one!" I rolled my eyes and then spotted the hand waving to us across the room, belonging to Orient. "Come on." I said, tugging Taeyeon with me.
"Well someone decided to show up. Finally." I sat across from the sarcastic and giggling Luna. Tae sitting next to me and across from Orient. "How was 2nd period?" I asked nobody in particular. "Sucked." Orient groaned.
Luna rolled her eyes at her. "She's being dramatic. It was great. We didn't do much of anything." Luna laughed a bit and yawned, leaning on Orient's arm. "What's got you tired?" I asked. Luna just shrugged and that was all the answer I got.
For as open and happy as she is, there are definitely times where she's a bit… Mysterious. That's just how she is though, when it comes to almost anything she's an open book, but she doesn't like to talk too much about things like that.
"How much you wanna bet she was with her boyfriend?" Tae laughed, causing Luna to stomp on her foot under the table. "My comic book collection." I muttered and Orient gasped. "You would never." "Well I wanna know..." I whined. "Well suck it up, you don't get to." It was my turn to stomp on Luna's foot.
"Speaking of doing stuff, what do you lot planned for this weekend?" Orient asked, changing the subject. We all shrugged and looked around, Luna blushing a bit. "'M a bit busy. You all can come hang with me though if you want though, you have been badgering me about meeting Ashton anyways."
I'm pretty sure I almost fell out of my chair. "So we finally get to meet Mr. Mysterious handsome guy." Tae said using the weird nickname that she had come up with the first time that Luna told us about her boyfriend, but wouldn't tell us anything else other then his name. Luna blushed a darker shade. "I guess.." "Yes!" I shouted and a few heads turned towards our table. "Sorry..." I muttered under my breath.
I'm pretty sure we would have talked for hours knowing us, but I think it was good the bell sounded, announcing the end of lunch. We raced each other to the library for free period, where we would be talking for the rest of the time we could.
