When Heaven meets Hell
Sirens were a blare but I could barely hear them over my own heartbeat. The adrenaline was better than any high I could receive. I ran down a empty sidewalk at the darkness of 12:00 midnight until a police cruiser appeared from a alley in my route. I slid over the hood before my brain could react but I was back on course.
I looked back at the red, blue and white lights in my dust until I was close lined.
“I’m getting a little sick and tired of seeing you.” The officer said as another one yanked me up and pushed me against the nearest wall, cuffed me, and pat me down.
“Watch your head.”I was a stuffed into a cop car. The ride seemed longer than usual but when I arrived Jin was already there waiting.
“What did he do this time?” He asked the officers. I stayed quiet.
“He stole 2k worth of jewelry...he smashed a glass case and broke two camera.”Jin sighed whiled pulling out his wallet.
“I’ll handle the fees-“
“No see this is Jungkook’s 5th offense...He’s going to a holding cell with the real criminals who aren’t petty thieves.”
“Awe I’m so scared.”the cop tightened my cuffs.
“Jungkook,cut it.” Jin scorned me as they pushed me off towards the holding cells. It was unusually empty, they we’re usually packed there were only a few guys.
I thought my stay would be longer but in 30 minutes I was out and walking towards Jin’s car with him in silence.
“It could be worse.” I shot him a smile
“No, it literally can’t Jungkook. Don’t talk to me right now.”
“Are you serious you act like I killed someone.”I stopped walking.
“It’s not the point, you’ll be 18 soon and there’s nothing I can do for you then.” He pressed his keys to unlock the doors on his cars, he got in and waited for me., when I got in and reached for the radio, he slapped my hand away”Do you not care. AT. ALL!”
“You told me not to talk to you.” He laid his head on the wheel”look Jin-“
“AND THATS ANOTHER THING TALK TO ME WITH RESPECT IM YOUR GUARDIAN FOR GOD SAKE NOT YOUR FRIEND!”he sat up and adjusted his tie with a deep sigh”I promised your mom I would look after you after what happened.... you’re making this hard.”
“Are you gonna ship me off? Is that what you’re saying?!” He sighed and and started the car”JIN!...Hyung?”my voice cracked to the awkward addition to his name we’ve been so casual for years. He pulled out the parking lot and we sat in silence during the drive. Only the sound of the engine and the wind blowing in from the rolled down windows.
“One more offense and you’re out of my custody and I have no control over it.” He said quietly with his eyes fixed on the road.”they will ship you off into foster care.” I sat there in silence looking at my wrist still red from the tight cuffs.
“You gotta fight for me-“
“You gotta stop being stupid. Stop skipping school.... stop stealing... stop fighting.... if not for me and your mom then at least for your damn self Jungkook.” I looked at my passenger side mirror reflecting on his words”you gotta straighten up kid... they’re sending you to an alternative school.”
“Alternative school? Why?”
“You’ve been late and absent too many times plus according your teachers your a disruption and a overly distracting student.” I sighed and leaned back against the seat.”I go to pick up your uniform tomorrow and you start Monday and You. Will. Go.”
“Okay.” I took a deep breath and let out a deeper sigh, my mind was going crazy with the thoughts bouncing off the walls of my brain. Any minor thing could get me sent off.
When we got home I barely slept; I tossed and turned and stared at my ceiling but when I did manage to rest I woke woken up with something being thrown across me.
“Get up, try it on make sure it fits.”I pulled my blanket over my face”it’s 12:00 in the afternoon kid c’mon, get your life together.” Jin pulled my blanket off of me by grabbing the bottom half and yanking it completely off the bed and off my body.”c’mon I need to be at the office in like 30 minutes.” I sat up and snatched the black bag attached to the hanger and shooed him out of my room so I could put on the uniform
It was grey, white, and navy a drastic contrast from my yellow and khaki but it wasn’t a big deal.
“It fits.” I shouted from my room before opening the door.
“Great.” He said not looking up from his phone while typing something.”Your school is expecting you for the tour so I’m gonna drop you off and I have some old college friends who could show you around while I head to work, I’ll give you fare for the bus and food.”
“On a Saturday?!”
“Hey, some kids live there, be grateful. Change out your uniform and meet me in the car in 5.” I nodded and shuffled to my room, I showered, brushed my teeth, and through on some ripped jeans a white tee a red flannel jacket I stole from him and I’m sure he hasn’t noticed it’s gone, a black baseball cap and timberlands.
“You’re gonna get sick, your hair is still wet-“ He tussled my hair before grabbing the wheel again”You’re annoying.”
“Mhm” I put my earphones in to brace myself for this social experience I was about to endure. With the mixture of the music I was listening to and the vibration of the car I felt myself drifting off back to sleep for what didn’t even feel like a second until I was jolted awake by the car’s harsh stop.
“We’re here.”the outer exterior looked like any other school there was nothing making it different except the extra security cameras.”c’mon” he got out from the car and waited for me to lock his doors. When we set foot in the school it still wasn’t any different except the security/check-in desk in the middle of the lobby.
“Ah you must be our new enrollee.” A small in stature women with salt and pepper hair in a slicked back bun and a navy suit with a very expensive looking broach on blazer collar greeted me and Jin with a surprisingly firm hand shake and a warm smile.”and are you his father?”
“No! No-no-no.” I slowly turned to him who was a little extra with the ‘no’s’”I’m his legal guardian”
“Well either way we’re glad to have you be apart of our family.” I rolled my eyes and Jin tapped my arm the dean handed me a piece of paper”Here is a map of the campus, the yellow Star is my office if you need me... happy exploring.” Her heels clicked off until she disappeared from view down a corridor.
“Don’t get kicked out on a tour,okay?”Jin snatched my hat off my head and straightened my jacket”good luck.”I nodded and grabbed the hat back”i’ll text you my friends name, tell them I’m your...” He sat there thinking
“Legal guardian.” He nodded at my substitution of words and left out of the giant double doors back to his car.
The bell rung and the empty big halls were packed like sardines with troubled youth.
I wandered up a flight of back stairs and was met with at least 30 doors I picked the second on my right which was just beginning.
“Ight kids lets get to work.” I knocked on the open door before entering. A fault y’all dusty blonde hair man turned around. He wasn’t necessarily dressed like a teacher he patterns short sleeve button down and black pants and converse.
“Mr. Kim?”
“Yes, can I help you?”
“Ooh he’s cute” I heard a girl whispered.
“Everyone’s cute to you Iris the whole school has been called cute by you. Your words mean nothing.”A girl with a darker aura than Iris in the back said with her feet up on the desk.
“Irene take your feet off the desk, this isn’t a barn. Tree’s didn’t die for you to put your dirty boots on it’s processed carcass.” He turned back to me”what were you saying?”
“Um, I’m Jungkook, you know my Guardian, Seok Jin , Kim Seok Jin, you two went to college together. He told me to come around to make my presence known I guess. I’ll be starting classes here Monday”
“Aaw.” He said sympathetically while cringing
“What is that supposed to mean.” A guy shouted from the back wearing a lettermen’s jacket.
“You all are a piece-of work but everyone is so don’t feel singled out. We’re never a completed master piece.”
“Man you’re a math teacher not a motivational speaker.” Another letterman’s jacket air head said”teach us how to add or something.” He got a few laughs from his classmates
“You should already know how to add dumbass.” I said
“What you say New kid?”a jock puffed out his chest
“You’re a re-“I started
“OKAY!” Mr. Kim clapped his hands”Nice meeting you Jungkook.” He shooed me out his class and I found myself at another class, English lit.
“Okay so we have been talking about Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet. Shakespeare clearly had a thing for tragedies right?” The classes all agreed with mumbles of yes and side conversations still relating to the topic. The teacher turned to me.
“can I help you?”with a very polite and welcoming voice
“No,I’m just observing.”
“Well my class is always a welcoming area grab a seat if you want.”I walked in and leaned up against the wall closest to the door so I could give a full view of the class. This was a big contrast from the class down the hall. They were actually attentive.
There was a girl behind the teachers desk closer to the corner doing paper work; she looked too young to be a teacher assistant and she wore a school uniform but it didn’t belong to this school. She had brown curls brushed back into a ponytail and she had perfect sun kissed skin. The teacher taught and I heard him speak but my eyes were fixed on her. I took in all of her features: the curve of her jaw line, the dip of her Cupid’s bow, her dark brown eyes that reflected like ember with the sun from the window. She finally looked my way and when she did she gave me an evil mug before rolling her eyes.
“AHEM!” The teacher cleared his throat looking at me”you might be taking my class, I advise you to pay attention because we’re having a test really soon Mr.?”he paused for my name
“Jungkook, Jeon Jungkook.”
“Mr. Jeon, maybe you should explore the campus some more.” I heard a few oohs from the back of the class and a few whispers as I exited, I put a little distance between me and the class before the second lunch bell rung and the class I just came from poured out, along with a few others. I tried to move with the pace until I felt a hand grab my shoulder.
“Mr. Lee hates you already.” A guy with dark brown hair and a fairly tan complexion said as he jogged beside me.
“The teacher back there? Why?”
“You had eyes on his daughter.”
“How was I supposed to know that was his daughter?”
“Everyone knows that his daughter! No matter what school you come from you know about Lee Mi ja, Mi ja Lee-White, Princess. She is top ranked at Minjok Leadership Academy and you do not want her dad as an enemy.
