I walk in . There it is... foreign exchange academy right in front of my eyes. I smile and walk towards the front desk and find my name and my key . I grab my key with an eager action and run into the halls finding my room.
"B-18..B-18..." I keep repeating to myself . "Ah! Bingo" I say unlocking the door with a smile on my face.
"Oh, hi. Are you the roommate?" This girl asks sitting on a bed.
"Yes.. I'm Zoey Hatfield, your roommate for this semester.." i say in a shy tone..
"I'm Mary Vaa, pleased to meet you Zoey" she says .
Umm.... what bed was I supposed to be laying on ..
Mary looked at me and told me
"Bottom bunk, and the dresser next to it is all yours" she says nicely .
"I'm going to walk around and get some fresh air.. see ya." I say walking out.
I walk around and I see people doing yoga to restaurants, happy couples, people doing homework, and it's a beautiful day. I keep walking and I get a text from my mom.
"Zoey, how is it? Feeling homesick? If you are , remember you can always come home." - mama💕
"Mom I'm pretty happy here right now , I'll text you tomorrow , shouldn't you be sleeping ? It is 3 AM there!" I reply
As I was replying to my mother, I bump into someone really hard and I took a great fall to the ground scraping my knee.
" oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Your knee!! It's bleeding.." the guy says to me.
"Oh no.. it's fine.." I say shy looking down.
Oh man oh man, he was so cute and nice.. but who knows who he could really be.
"Do you maybe want to walk around..?. I can show you around , I'm not a foreigner I just go here for a college degree , I'm currently learning English , so that's cool I guess, just a bunch of Americans here, haha!" He says to me .
"Your so cute.. let me take you out sexy" he says again--
"Hello? Hello?? Are you here . I'm sorry for knocking you down.." he says waking me up from my day dream
"Oh ! Sorry . Anyway , it's fine I just hurt my kne-"
"Hey" a girl says coming up to him grabbing his arm.
"Don't , I'm talking to someone right now , don't want to seem rude" he says whispering to her.
"Didn't catch your name" he says staring at me.
"Oh.. Zoey . Zoey Hatfield" I say with blush cheeks.
"Who is this?" The girl asks.
"I should probably get going" I say in dismay.
"Wait ! I'm not dating her.. she just likes me" he says laughing.
"Oh haha.. nice." I reply uncomfortably.
"Wanna go out for some sushi? The sushi grill and bar is right down the street from campus" he asks.
" yeah sure , I guess" I say smiling.
The girl who grabbed on to his shoulder looked awfully like the girl who lives in the dorm right across from me..
"Hey, seems like I did not catch your name either" I say laughing .
"Oh, Jimin. Park Jimin" he replies smirking.
"Are you like.. "the ladies man" " I say quoting.
"No , not really, a couple of close friends from Seoul and one foreign girl who just has the hots for me , for like the 2 years she's been here" he replies while we walk in a slow pace.
"Oh.. is it the girl from earlier?" I ask quietly.
"Yes, her name is Maddy, she's my really close friend" he replies .
"For some reason.. it's just like deja vu . I've seen you before Zoey.. and your name is such a bell ringer.. are you the girl I went to 3rd grade with ? Mr. Jai? " he adds.
"I knew i recognized you.. nice seeing you again for the first time in a decade, ha.." I say awkwardly .
He smiles and then laughs like he is so happy to see me again .
We walk into the sushi bar and grab a seat , we order, talk, eat, etc.
2 hours later
___________
We walk out together with full stomachs and he walks me to my room .
"We should do this again sometimes, worse than hurting your knee than having a great time with me" he says smiling at the ground .
"Y-yeah.. we should do this again" I blush avoiding eye contact with him.
Mary opens the door .
"Sorry to interrupt, but you can't be in the girls dorm after 7 pm and it's a quarter to 7 pm. Chop chop" Mary says laughing and then making her way back in.
"Well nice seeing you, here's my number just in case you want it" he says quietly being shy.
He takes my phone and types his number in and then waves goodbye.
I am just about to walk in smiling and happy as can be , but the girl , maddy walks in the dorm getting her key out to get into her room. She smiles at me and says "had a good time huh? Smh.." maddy looked at me in jealousy like she hated the fact I just hung out with Jimin.
"Now because of you, I'm going to end up stop talking to Jimin . Have fun. I just don't even know you and already hate you so much" maddy says walking into her room and slamming the door.
I walk into my room with an embarrassing face placed on me , and I go into the bathroom but before I enter Mary speaks to me.
"Wait. I heard some chaos in the halls, what had happened?" Mary asks in a caring voice.
"Oh , nothing. Someone's just in a crappy mood , that's all"
Mary gets back to writing her story with her oval shaped classes and comfy on her bed while I walk into the bathroom to get ready.
I brush my teeth, slip on my socks and pajamas, Sweats and a big t shirt , and just a messy bun. I get a text .
"Hey. What are you up to tomorrow? Wondering if you wanted to go to the park and get some ice cream, maybe talk, and I could introduce you to a couple of my very close friends, Tae , Namjoon , Jin, and jungkook" - Jimin.
"Oh, sure.. unless I don't get homework from any of my classes , I'm free tomorrow :) ! " I reply with a smiley emoji .
"Great , I'll be at your room around 6:00 pm , please be ready ;)" Jimin texts back.
I get out of the bathroom and to cover up me not taking a shower tonight I tell Mary I'll be taking one tomorrow at exactly 9:00 AM. I walk to my bed and plug in my phone , and pull out a nice book and read until I am dog tired..
"Tomorrow is a new day.. make it count" I think to myself as I drift asleep 1 hour after reading my book"
A new day is set for me right around the corner.. maybe he does like me, it's just the way it flows.
