Why So Tough

Chapter 1

"Taehyung-ah! I love you!" she shouted in the whole canteen. All the eyes were now on her, especially Taehyung's. The little girl looked at him, then at the floor. You can read on her face how much she regreted. "What?" he asked confused. "I-I...love you!" he girl repetead.

"What a dumb girl" my friend whispered. "Poor her" I answer. After some seconds of peace, we heard Taehyung's deep voice: "I'm sorry  Madison...I have a girlfriend". The girl whiped her tears and looked him in the eyes once again. "It's ok... sorry for disturbing you..." and then she ran away.

"Sky, I heard there is a new café near the school. Wanna check it out after classes?" my friend, Emily, said. I cleared my thoughts and answered "Yea sure, why not".

After eating we went in the classroom. It was empty, just the two of us. "What's wrong with Madison? I told her 50 times that guy is a weirdo! She never listens" Emily complained. "Me too! I hope she learned her lesson. Now everyone will make fun of her" "That's her problem".

The day went by and now me and Emily are at that new Café near the school. It's not something special with it, maybe just those delicious cookies. "So, do you have plans this weekend?" Emily said, breaking the silence. "I don't think so. Why?" "I thought a sleep-over party would be a great way to spend the weekend" "Sounds good!".

It was getting late so I took my bag and went home. On the way, I saw something pretty familiar. It was that weirdo, Taehyung. What is he doing here, at this late hour? He was 10-15 meters away from me, so I took my phone and made him a few photos, just to show them to my friend. Poor boy, no one likes him...just because he's Korean. I know, it's not right, but I can't change the racist's mind.

"What are you doing?" he asked me with his deep voice. While I was sending those photos to Emily I didn't realize that Tae was in front of me all the time. "I-I'm sorry...I just-" he cut me off throwing away my phone. "What the hell!?" "You have no right to treat me like this! I'm just different, not a criminal!" he yelled.

He was right. I have no right to treat him like this. I'm so idiot! Stupid Skyler! "Taehyung, please forgive me! I didn't mean to-" "You racist bitch" he says and leaves me.

I got home and called Emily. "What happened?" she asked when she heared me crying. "I feel so bad Emi..." "Why?". I told her everything. She seemed a bit sorry too. "What should I do now? I can't look him in the eyes" "Do nothing. He'll get over this soon". Even though he hates me, I can't let the things go on like this. I'll try to talk to him, maybe we'll become friends...
