โDamn it, Iโm almost late to the meeting.โ I mutter, practically flying through the hallway. There were lots of clubs holding their bi-weekly, after-school meetings in different rooms, and as a new student, I was hopelessly lost . โFinally, room 301,โ I said, flinging open the door, to be immediately met by an almost irritatingly chipper kid, a kid who barely reached my shoulders in height. โWelcome to the free hug club, friend! Bring it in!โ, they shouted gleefully, closing in on me. โOh wow, I think Iโll passโฆ sorry I didnโt mean to uhโฆ join the free hug club, Iโm looking for the chess club.โ The kid is visibly disappointed but nonetheless cheerfully says, โthatโs room 310, not 301 you silly goose!โ I could have sworn that the announcement bulletin board had said that it was room 301, but in spite of that, with a barely audible goodbye, I darted out of the room, both embarrassed and almost completely at a loss for words.
I was for sure going to be hopelessly late to the meeting, โgonna make a great first impressionโ I thought. As I approach room 310, I notice itโs at the end of the hallway and is obviously quieter than the rooms other clubs had occupied. Catching your breath from the exhaustive running I just did, I peer into the window, with a view of two boys playing chess, with the rest watching them, however, my thoughts are rudely interrupted by a sarcastic voice. โAre you going to come in, or are you going to stand there like a moron all day?โ Embarrassed yet again, I sheepishly open the door saying, โsorry Iโm late, I got kinda lost back there, didnโt know what room we were gonna meet in.โ
There were two kids playing chess, completely uninterested in what was happening, and five other kids staring at me, some with an apologetic look, and some with no discernible expression. Eventually one of them speaks up, โHi, Iโm Jungwon, the president of the chess club. Sorry about Heeseung, heโs always been more on the sarcastic side,โ he then gives an expectant glare to who I now assume is Heeseung. โ...my bad, Iโm Heeseung.โ Jungwon continues, โanyways, the two playing chess are Jake and Sunghoon; but the other guys beside me are Niki, Sunoo and Jay.โ I introduce myself as (y/n), to which the others give a greet me, while the two playing chess give me a grunt of acknowledgement.
โSooooโ, I start, โwhere are the rest of the chess boards?โ After saying this, I am immediately met with laughter by all members, even the two previously engrossed in their own little chess world. โThatโs cute,โ said Jay, โthey actually think weโre given any funding.โ Sunoo pipes in saying, โbold of you to assume the school gives a shit about anything other than sports.โ โHey!โ, goes Niki, โisnโt chess technically a sport??โ Immediately after saying this, Niki and Sunoo start bickering about whether chess was a sport or not, while Jungwon facepalms. โIโm shocked youโd even be interested in joining the club at this point,โ Jungwon says in an exasperated tone.
โNo, I love chess! Actually, my grandpa was a chess grandmaster, he taught me all there is,โ I say, trying to emphasize my interest in chess. At this point, attention is once again on me, with all members looking at me in disbelief. โWow, so lying through your teeth and looking at people through small windows are two of your biggest hobbies, huh?,โ said Heeseung. Getting tired of Heeseungโs bullshit, I retort, โI'm seasoned in the arts, but clearly being a jackass has got to be your favorite pastime.โ Heeseung rolls his eyes while Niki immediately shoots questions at a mile a minute. โWhat was their strategy?โ, โWhen did they start teaching you?โ, โDo grandmasters get a lot of mone-.โ
โDAMN ITโ, yells Sunghoon, โYOU ONLY WON BECAUSE THEY DISTRACTED ME!โ Jake pacifies Sunghoon, โyou were great, we can always have a rematch when itโs our week to use the chessboard.โ โBut thatโs in two weeksโฆโ Sunghoon says dejectedly. โWait a minute, you have to wait weeks to play?โ I said, confused. โDuhh, thereโs only one chess board, do you think we can just all play at the same bloody time,โ said Sunoo. โTrust me (y/n), we all wish there was more than one, itโs not like they're expensive or anything, the schoolโs just uninterested in anything that doesnโt involve sweating like a pig,โ sneered Jungwon.
Suddenly an idea hit me, โhold up, Iโve got three extra chess boards at home, Iโm sure my parents wonโt mind me borrowing them.โ The boys visibly become excited, however, my statement doesnโt protect myself from another one of Heeseungโs sarcastic quips, โwho in their right mind needs more than one chess board though?โ Jay nudges Heeseung, โlisten, you can just watch us play since youโre so against us having extra boards.โ โNo! Fineโฆโ sighs Heeseung.
โWeโve got like 10 minutes until the school kicks us out for the weekend, our next meeting is this Monday, so make sure you remember to bring the chess boards, ok?โ, goes Jungwon. โIโve got a better idea,โ goes Jake, โjust give me your number, Iโll remind you over the weekend. After all weโre counting on you (y/n), no pressure!โ Suddenly, I feel my face going warm, โso heโs cute and friendly, Iโm definitely going to make this real awkward, real quick,โ I thought to myself. โUhm, yeah, Iโll just put it in my phoneโฆโ โWait, shouldn't you put your number in my phone?โ Jake laughs. โDamn it. Yeah youโre right, I forgot,โ trying to laugh off my cringeworthy moment.
โThatโs unfair! How come (y/n) can get your number but I canโt?โ Niki whines. โThatโs because you dropped your phone into the toilet! You donโt have a phone anymore, dingbat,โ Sunoo shouts. โOh yeahโฆโ Niki says sheepishly.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Itโs Sunday, and Iโve been texting back and forth with Jake. Heโs been super sweet and even went out of his way to describe each of the chess club memberโs personalities and their dynamic within the group. It was similar to the meeting on Friday, Heeseung having a dry sense of humor, Jungwon being the more mature member in the club, Sunoo and Niki finding any possible opportunity to bicker, along with an easygoing Jay, and Sunghoon, a notoriously sore-loser. I asked Jake for the rest of the members' numbers and Jake, being a sweet friend, happily obliged, meaning I now had means of communication with all members of the chess clubโฆ sans Niki, because well, Sunoo explained his lack of a cell phone back on Friday.
My parents were cool with my taking of the chess boards and the respective pieces, so long as they were not damaged, after all, they were sentimental since they belonged to my late grandpa. All they said was that I should bear in mind that these boards were on the expensive side, but nonetheless, they trusted me. Besides, they werenโt exactly opposed to their child making new friends through chess. While I was daydreaming about Jake and haphazardly doing my biology homework I heard my phone go off. I checked to see who it was, to find an unknown number telling me โhey (y/n), at ur place, come outside weโre going to get food together.โ Obviously I was on edge, I just moved here, and I had the numbers of the rest of the members, who the hell could this be? I text back, โwho are u, how do u know where I live?โ, to which the unknown number goes, โjust look outside dummyโ.
I decide to get up and look out my window and I am met with both shock and confusion. How the hell did this guy know where I lived, and why would they wanna hang out with me, we just met like two days ago???
