“Ding… Ding… Ding… Ding…”
The ringing alarm interrupts Kai’s dream roughly and brings him back to reality. The boy reluctantly opens one eye and turns his head towards the source of the annoying, almost deafening sound to nearly aggressively hit the alarm-clock. He is just about to turn around and continue his dream when he notices the time. “What?!” the boy mutters to himself, both his eyes are widened now and he pushes himself up to sit up straight in his bed immediately: “7:30?!” Kai practically jumps out of bed and rushes to the first bed he sees to wake up the sleeping boy underneath the white blankets but without further checking whether D.O. really wakes up or not he runs out of the room to wake up the other members too.
It doesn’t take that long before most of them are up, all the members apart from D.O. and Lay are laying on the couches in the livingroom, trying to get comfortable and staring at the boy that woke them up so roughly so early in the morning, for who knows what reason.
“Come on, get dressed! Hurry!” and more phrases like that come from Kai’s mouth as he runs around the dorm trying to do everything at once but all the boys don’t seem to be too impressed and apart from Baekhyun and Suho everyone is sinking back to a deep slumber again.
“Guys! Hurry!” Kai starts to wake up everyone for the second time this morning, pushing, tugging and shaking their tired bodies, gaining annoyed groans from all his fellow members.
“What’s so important that you’re waking us up so early?” Suho asks the younger boy, staring at how he tugs at Chanyeols sleeve and desperately tries to wake up Sehun at the same time, repeating that they have to wake up and that they have to hurry and what more over and over again.
Suho’s words make Kai stop his actions for a few seconds, the younger boy staring at the older male with a bit of a frown on his face before he explains himself: “Today is the first day of SM Entertainment School! We have to go, we –” “Oh yeah, he’s right!” Suho cuts Kai off, practically jumping off the couch telling the sleepy others to wake up.
Kai runs back to the room he shares with D.O. and finds the older boy sleeping so he tries one more time to wake him up before searching his clothes and getting dressed. Meanwhile the others are starting to wake up from their sleep, through the whole dorm sounds of people getting dressed, people brushing their teeth, people eating, Kai’s yelling and Tao bothering Kris are heard.
“Aw, come on! Take a shower with me hyung,” the boy whines.
“No, go take a shower on your own!” Kris responds, rejecting Tao for the umpteenth time this morning, but the boy still doesn’t give up.
“Hyung, please!” he looks at his hyung with pleading eyes but to no avail.
“No, Tao, damn.” The whining continues for a bit longer until Tao sighs dramatically and takes a shower on his own after all, leaving Kai’s screams to hurry the only voice in the dorm.
~~ 15 Minutes later.
All 12 of the boys have managed to get ready in time and are now heading towards the vans. Kai is wearing a comfortable black Exo-sweater, even more comfortable black sweats and a beanie is placed on top of his blonde hair. The boy has earphones in his ears and softly hums along with the song he’s listening to: Exo – Wolf, when he suddenly gets a text:
Thank you for accepting this great offer. You and your Exo Members are going to enter a Special School for Singers and Dancers along with many other Celebrities. You will also meet many familiar faces. At this school you guys are going to do a lot of activities you’ll have to join but you will get different homework. Each class is specialized in a different things that’ll help you in your career as an entertainer, for example you will attempt classes for singing, but also for dancing etc. apart from that there are also other classes you guys can sign up for if you want to. Kai, your Class Number is 135D, have a great first day at SM Entertainments Special School.
Kai nods shortly after reading the text and then continues listening to his playlist and staring out of the window.
In the mean time Krystal and Sulli are on their way to the same school, Sulli is driving and Krystal is sitting casually in the passenger’s seat, scrolling through her phone. She’s wearing black skinny jeans and a white V-shirt which is tucked in a bit at the front. A wide black leather jacket keeps her warm and she’s tapping with her black converses on the floor along with the rhythm of the song that’s playing on the radio.
“Was it about the school?” Sulli asks, referring to how Krystals phone vibrated a minute ago, telling both of them that she’s got a message. “Yeah, I guess I’m going to be really busy,” Krystal sighs lightly and reads the text out loud. “So your class is 135D?” Sulli asks after Krystal’s finished. “That’s what it says…”
It doesn’t take too long for both girls to reach SM Entertainments Special School “Is Jessica attending?” Sulli asks before Krystal gets out and the other girl shakes her head: “I don’t think so… Well, I have to go now, I can’t be late. Bye unni!” and she gets out of their car to go straight up to the big somewhat intimidating entrance of the school.
She’s walking through the hallways with her eyes searching for classroom 135D when she almost bumps into Kai. “Oh, hello,” she beams, “can you tell me where 135D is?” The boy turns around with a bit of a smile on his lips: “I’m actually looking for that classroom too…” Krystal immediately recognizes the boy: “You’re an Exo member, aren’t you?” she asks and Kai’s lips curl up to form a smile again. “Yeah, I’m Kai… But wait: did you say you’re searching for 135D too?”
Krystal nods and Kai smiles for the third time before they walk side by side through the hallways of the big school to finally find the classroom they were looking for.
