It was still dusk outside, when I had to get up. I searched for my school uniform. Wearing a school uniform was nothing new for me and for some reason my new school allowed dyed hair, but no make up. I took a look at the mirror and immediatly felt like the ugliest and fattest person in world. The uniform consisted of a black skirt, a black jacket and a white blouse. These cloths were really not made for me.

My school wasn't that close to our house and shop, so I had to take the bus every day. Finally I entered the school. Everyone here looked so smart and pretty. Suddenly I remembered my first day of school in Gwangyu. Maybe my friends missed me too.

Since I was in the first year of High School here, no one knew anyone at their first day. I walked into the classroom. Seemed like my classmates were already getting friends with each other. When I made my way through the room to an empty seat, some of them turned their head and stared at me.
Guys you could at least try to be less obvious!  I sighed and put the hood of my jacket on my head to cover my light blue hair.

Suddenly the door flew open and our teacher entered the room. Everyone went quiet. "Good morning, I'm Mr. Choi and I'll teach you literature and History. Don't get too exited about the fact, that you're in High School now. Better work hard and we'll get along well!" His gaze flew over the class. He held up his planner. "Everyone come in front and fill in their birthdays here!" That was strange. In my old school we had never done things like that. Before the last one finished I got up too and searched my date of birth in the planner. When I found it, there was already a name written down.
12.13. Lee Dongyeol
I wrote my name down too and wondered who of my classmates  could be Lee Dongyeol. My question should be answered soon.

Mr. Choi cleared his throat. "Before we start with our lesson, I'll have to check if everyone is here. Each of you get up, say your name and introduce yourself in a few words!"
This made me freeze. There is really not much to say about me and also I hate speaking infront of many people. The girl who sat a few seets before me stood up and started talking. "Hello, my name is Jung HyeMi, I'm from Busan and my favourite subject is Physics." The others introduced themselfes too and finally the row reached me. "Uum I'm Kim Nana. I moved here from Gwangyu... my favourite subject is English." Surprisingly no one apart from Mr. Choi even looked at me. I was being completly ignored.

A tall guy with dark brown hair got up. "I'm Lee Dongyeol, also born in Busan. I like music and dancing."

My eyes widened. This was the guy I met a few days ago at the bus! It took me a while, then I remembered him visiting my candy shop. Also Lee Dongyeol was the classmate who's birthday happened to be the same as mine. Aigoo this world is so embarrassing! 

After the bell had rang, the teacher finished the lesson. Because I didn't want to spend all my money on food in the Cafeteria, I always brought my own food to school. The school building was really large and I soon found a place to eat alone.

I looked down on my Bento box to start eating, when suddenly a pair of shoes appeared.
"That food of yours looks seriously delicious! Where did you get it from?" Dongyeol said. I looked up to him. How did he even find me that fast? "I didn't buy it" I answered quietly. "I made it myself."
He pouted. "Now I'm jealous! I want food like this too!" For some reason he was kinda adorable, so I couldn't help but smile. Immediatly I got scared that he's see it and looked to the floor again. "Why are you so quiet? I guess you must be really shy, when not talking to anyone at your first day of school and running off so fast to eat alone! Do you even know, how exhausting it was to run after you so you wouldn't disappear?" He yelled. That made me slightly scared. "Why did you even want to see me?"
"Well I still have that cute little umbrella, that's waiting for it's owner..."
"Ohh that. You can keep it if you want, or wait... I guess the pattern is kinda embarrassing for a guy..." Dongyeol started laughing out of sudden. Then he opened his backpack and handed me my umbrella. "No it's fine, you really saved me that day! I'd never thought a stranger would show such kindness. Also I'll stand to my word and pay you back somehow!" For a moment he kept quiet and thought a little. "It's our first day here, so our schedule isn't that long, right? Is there anything you want to do? Like eating something?" Now I was the one thinking. I didn't want to use him, for buying me something, but also it'd sure be good to meet some people. "Uum ok I'll accept your offer and come with you, if it's ok..." He smiled brightly. His smile made him look even more adorable. "That's great! Is there anything special you want to do?" I blew up my cheeks. "Can I think about it through the day and tell you then?" ... "Of course! It's ok. But I'll have to go. See you later!" With that he rushed off.
All of this made me so confused. But Dongyeol seems to be a nice guy.

I went down the Hallway to get to my next classroom, when someone bumped right into me. I apologized, but the girl just ignored me. I turned to find out it was Jung Hyemi. She approached to another girl. "This Kim Nana is really kinda scary!" she said. I wondered what exactly was scary about me, but I didn't have much time for it, because I had to hurry to my class.
