6:30 in the morning. The alarm on my nightstand won't stop ringing. I get up from my bed and turn it off. I continue to the bathroom and get ready for school. After my breakfast I start putting on my shoes.

"Are you already leaving for school?" I heard half asleep voice ask me.

"Yes, I want to get there earlier this morning" I replied.

"Do you want me to drive you? It looks like it's about to rain"

"No thanks, Noah. You don't have to worry about me. I'll take the umbrella, just to be sure."

"Well, if you insist, sis. But you know, I'm always happy to drive you to school." he smiled.

"I know, thanks! Bye!" I say as walk out of the front door and to school.

It's a twenty minutes long walk from our house to the school. When I arrived there, it was already 7:20. I was lucky, because as I entered my classroom it started pouring outside. I sat in my usual seat and waited for the class to start. After a while the classroom was almost full and students were talking and laughing together. I also noticed that everyone is somehow more excited than any other day. Soon the bell rang and everyone went to their seats. The teacher walks in and proceed to start the class. Five minutes into the class a boy barges into the room, gasping for air.

"Sorry I got lost." he apologizes to the teacher, when he catches his breath again.

"Oh! You must be the new student, am I correct?" the teacher asks.

"Yes."

"Good. You can just sit down wherever you want."

"Thank you" he looked around the classroom and went to an empty seat. The teacher continued teaching the class. After some time I got bored, so I took out my sketchbook and started drawing. I had a feeling of someone looking at me and I wasn't wrong. The new boy was looking at me from time to time, but I didn't care. Who doesn't stare at me in this school. I sigh. Finally the bell rang signalling the end of the lesson. I gathered all of my belongings and went to my next class. Strangely enough, there is a cooking class in this school. Unfortunately, that's my next class. Don't get me wrong! I love cooking, but the school isn't my favourite place to cook.

The teacher assigned us into groups, consisting of three people. To my surprise, the new guy from earlier was in my group with some other girl that I don't really know her name.

"So it looks like we're baking together..." the boy says awkwardly, trying to start a conversation.

"Yes."

"My name is Lee Min Ho, but everyone calls me Lee Know."

"My name is Atsuki." I reply to him.

The girl who's name was Emily, didn't speak at all. After deciding on what cake we are going to bake, we got into action. While we were waiting for it to bake, we cleaned the dirty dishes and prepared a space for decorating. Lee Know checked on the cake from time to time, so it wouldn't burn in the oven. When it was time, Emily took it out of the oven and I took it out of the mold. We let it fully cool down and after that we started decorating it. Once we were done, the teacher came over to our table and gave us an A. We cleaned up and split the cake between us, since it was rather small cake.

I packed my stuff and went to the cafeteria for lunch. I sat where I usually sit alone. I was eating while reading my book, minding my own business, when a loud screams and cheering almost broke both of my eardrums. I looked up and saw a crowd around eight boys, which one of them was Lee Know.

That's why everyone was so excited today. I thought to myself. I rolled my eyes and went back to what I was doing before.

Lunch break was almost over. I still have one more class before I can go home. I was standing by my locker, taking a few things out of it, when in the corner of my eye, I saw the same eight boys with the crowd of girls around them. I rolled my eyes, closed my locker and passed around them to get to my final class of the day. I accidentally made eye contact with one of them and a weird feeling went through my body. I shook it off and continued walking.

The last class ended. I went back to my locker to put some books back. I was about to fully open it, when suddenly someone slammed it shut.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" I say loudly, annoyance noticeable in my voice.
