It was a perfect day to skip History class. The sun on Luhan’s face felt nice, not too bright but just right, not to mention the breeze cooling the air, giving the relaxing atmosphere around him.
This feels great, Luhan thought to himself
The sound of textbooks and boring lectures are now temporarily nonexistent in Luhan’s page of his life and the day just couldn’t get any better… until his best friend happen to drop by the rooftop to remind Luhan of reality that is school.
“Luhan!" Yixing calls, "stop pretending you’re asleep, I know you’re awake” Yixing kneels beside the boy, shaking him in the process,” I don’t think Mr. Kim appreciates us skipping his class again, so let’s go”
Luhan was now trying very hard to ignore Yixing who’s rudely interrupting his sacred time with nature but answers anyway, “well, it’s not like Mr. Kim appreciates us in his class either,” Luhan rolled his body to his left, his back now facing his best friend, “now go away”
Yixing lets out a sigh, “well I don’t blame him for hating us, you burnt half of his school records last year and didn’t get suspended at all,” Luhan rolls back to face Yixing, “hey, don’t act like you have nothing to do with the records. You were practically the mastermind”
“Nope, it was Baekhyun’s idea, I just helped with the planning and you and Jongdae did the dirty work. It was a work of masterpiece” Yixing said proudly but frowned after he saw how Luhan’s back is facing him again
“Luhaaaaan…” Yixing wails, pulling on Luhan’s collar earning him weird chocking sounds from the boy
“gack-Yixi-cough-let go damnit,” Luhan chocked, bolting right up to catch his breath when Yixing let go of him, “are you trying to ғυϲƙing kill me, Zhang Yixing? I will sue you!”
“No, I was trying to get you up actually, and look, it worked,” Yixing smiles
Luhan gave Yixing a weird look, like how the hell can Yixing try to choke his best friend just minutes ago and still look like a saint afterwards, but nope not telling him that, “look, I skipped English yesterday so I’m skipping History today so you can’t make me go with you, bye bye” Luhan waved his hand
“You’re seriously not coming to class?” Yixing asked, trying his best to make the saddest puppy dog eyes he could make right now and seriously that face has got to be illegal, because damn it’s a weapon of manipulation.
But No. Luhan had been friends with Yixing for more than six years now and he has been trained for such situations with Yixing
“Nope, I’m not coming to class” Yixing’s face changed from puppy dog sad to helplessly dejected.
“Well, if you’re not coming then I might as well skip with you” Yixing said, still frowning because really, Yixing doesn’t want to attend a boring History class without his best friend who loves passing notes with knock knock jokes written on them.
“Well if you’re skipping then lay down with me cuz the sky looks so damn fine right now” Luhan smiles, patting the space beside him
Yixing smiled doing what he was to told, “You sound like you’re checking out a chick”
“Well I am, that cloud there looks like a baby chick if you tilt your head to your left”
“Really? Like this?”
“No, you tilt your head to your left, not my left”
“What?”
“nevermind,” Luhan sighs, “just shut up and let me appreciate nature”

After Mr. Kim’s History class, then comes the most awaited lunch break. Yixing and Luhan came down after having their heart to heart discussion about shitty looking clouds. And when they entered their classroom to fetch their other friends to come eat lunch with them, well, they weren’t really expecting something so… cliché.
Baekhyun and Jongdae were standing in front of the door when Luhan slid it open, earning a small whelp of “you surprised me” from Yixing. Both their friends have the same annoyed look plastered on their faces with their arms crossed around their chest and not to mention the synchronized tapping of the foot against the floor.
“I thought we all agreed to stop skipping History because we’re failing the subject” Jongdae starts raising a brow
“well technically, it’s just you and Baekhyun who’s failing. Me ang Yi-“ Luhan was cut off midsentence when Baekhyun surprised him by placing a finger on his lips.
“hush my little princess,” Baekhyun whispers but loud enough for the other two to hear
Luhan’s eyes grew wide, “What did you just call me?” Luhan hates it when people call him names that contradicts his manliness. And Baekhyun just adores Luhan’s angry face.
“That’s what you get for skipping class without us, sparkly doe eyes princess” And Baekhyun ran for his life.

It wasn’t an easy walk from the classroom to the school cafeteria. Normally, a student would take less than three minutes to get there and maybe find seats, but Luhan and his group of friends are different. The student in the hallway would flock over them like they were celebrities (but they are considered celebrities in the school so yeah)
“Hey Baek! I love what you did with Ms. Park’s desk. It was hilarious” a boy called out and Baekhyun didn’t say a word and just gave him a high five. Jongdae on the other hand had a mix of girls and boys giving him envelopes, “Jongdae-ya, please look it up for me, I’ll bring the cash tomorrow” and Jongdae just smiles and answers, “sure sure, but bring the right amount. I don’t give changes” Meanwhile, Luhan and Yixing are suffocated by a group of fangirls mobbing them. Giving them gifts, homemade lunches, love letters which Luhan is pretty sure is just another excuse to give their number.
“Kyungsoo?!” Baekhyun calls, and a short boy with natural wide eyes stood up from the sea of students in the cafeteria. He was raising his hand because his short legs isn’t really doing a good job with helping him get his friends attention
Jongdae looked to his right and saw their friend, “there,” he points to a seat near the window,” I see Kyungsoo”
Baekhyun and Jongdae happily skipped their way to their table while Luhan and Yixing followed, looking raggedy with their hair pointing to every side possible and their uniform wrinkled on the front, “what happened to them?” Kyungsoo asked
“The usual” Jongdae answers,
“oh okay” Kyungsoo didn’t even ask what and why again because Luhan and Yixing’s fangirls does this giving of gift event once a week and they always pick the day randomly so Luhan and Yixing has no idea when to avoid them. It was horrible.
Luhan was fixing his hair, trying to make himself at least half decent as before when Yixing asked, “so Chen, what’s new?”
“My name is not Chen” Jongdae glared
“Whatever, just answer my question,” Jongdae rolled his eyes at Yixing
“Well according to one of my sources, we’ll be having a transfer student in our class. And he’ll probably be attending by next week” Jongdae said, trying to open the lunchbox Luhan received from his fangirls but got his hand slapped instead. Jongdae gently rubbed his bright red hand from the slap Luhan gave him and adds, “and oh, I heard he’s somewhat related to Mr. Kim”
Luhan’s eyes grew wide, “Mr. Kim our History teacher?” he asked
“yep” Jongdae answers.
Luhan laughed, “seriously? If he’s related to Mr. Kim then I’m betting he’s boring as ғυϲƙ” The sound of the word bet made all of them pause on the food in front of them.
Baekhyun grins, “I’m betting my whole week allowance that he’s boring as ғυϲƙ and wears glasses”
And everyone happily placed their bets.
"sweet, I am so winning this bet" Luhan grins
