After the Ball

Chapter One: Average Gal

I was currently in the shower singing my favorite  song 20 by a Korean boy group named Seventeen. God, I just love Seventeen so much. They're a group of 13 cute guys who is popular in Korea right now. I myself am half-Korean, my mom is American, and my dad is Korean. We decide to move here in my mom's country, because dad got a promotion here so we didn't argue about it and just moved.

It's my first week here and it's was okay, the temperature is warm, compared it to Seoul I would pretty much recommend to move here.

Today was a Monday morning and my first day in my new school. I was pretty nervous, I mean compare to my old school I was more comfortable there. Today was a new adventure. As I finish my shower I got out, grab two towels. One for my body and the other for my hair.

I was in my underwear as I went to my mini walk in closet to decide what clothes I'll be wearing. I grab a pair of jeans, a grey top, and my black jacket. I quickly wore them along with my trusting chucks, I never leave the house without them. As I stand I quickly blow dry my long black hair and let the curl loose, I also applied some lip gloss and I was done.

Grabbing my bag, I marched downstairs just to see my mom.

"Morning." I greeted.

She smiled. "Morning sweetie, why don't you sit down and have some breakfast."

I smiled and sat down at one of the chairs, then mom came in holding a plate of eggs and bacon. Yum! I grab a slice of bread and took a bite. Before taking a bite out of a piece of bacon, I moan in delight of the delicious flavor of a well cooked bacon. And eggs.

Just then Dad came in with his corporate attire or suit. "아침" (Morning) he said.

My mom smiled as she makes her way to him, with a hot coffee in hand, kissed dad on the cheek and gave it to him. "Morning."

Dad sat down and mom joined in. We ate silently for the pass minutes, until mom spoke.

"Darling, are you excited for your first day school?" mom asked.

Honestly speaking? No, I wasn't excited. But that would be a wrong thing to say when it comes to mom. So, I plastered a smile and said. "Super excited."

She just smiled and ate her breakfast, I couldn't help but to notice the lace of sarcasm when I said those words, but merely shrugging it off. I ate my last piece of egg, drinking my OJ to the last drop, I slowly rose.

"Thanks for the meal." I said before slinging my bag to my shoulders. I said my good bye's to my parents and went outside. I saw a familiar pair of wheels and I smiled.

"Hello old friend." I mumbled as I removed the secure lock. I got on and I peddled my way to school, I didn't bother wearing a helmet I just love to feel the nice, cool wind brush against my face. And I didn't realized that I started to hummed the song Friday by IU, another Korean singer.

It didn't took more than 30 minutes when I arrived in school. Winston High It read, I make my way to the bike rack were I park my bike and secure it with a secure lock. I slowly stand and made my way to the entrance, but I didn't miss a few stares and glances coming from the students. I just lowered my head and with fast legs I made it inside the school.

The first thing I need to find was the office were you can get your locker number and stuff. As I make my way through each hall way, I couldn't help but to notice how different it was here. I mean, back in my school we wore uniforms, but compare to this, I'm loving it already.

Finally, I spotted the office as I make my way their, I was greeted by a 47--looking-- year old woman, staring at the computer as she types furiously on the keyboard. I cleared my throat to grab her attention, she looked up and meet my gaze.
