johnny's p.o.v

The year is 2012. I'm in the middle of my eighth grade history lesson when the intercom clicked and someone said,

"Mrs. Thompson? Do you have John Suh this hour?"

"Yes I do!"

"Can you send him to the office for a minute please?"

"Sure can! He'll be right there."

The intercom clicked off and my teacher smiled,

"Go ahead John!"

I stood up slowly and walked to the office and i heard one of my friend yell,

"OOOOOHHH JOHN'S IN TROUBLEEE."

I turned around and glare at him and he blew a kiss. I caught it then threw it on the ground and stomped on it. Jaehyun poured and then huffed back in his seat. Everyone in the class laughed and i left the room. I walked down the hall and tried to think of what this could be about,

is it from me throwing mark in the trash can? but he's my little brother so i doubt it.

is it because of... well anything jaehyun and i have done?

ooh maybe it's because of me accidentally slapping jaehyun across the face that one day.

By the time i finished my thoughts as i reached the office. I knocked on the door lightly. It opened immediately and the receptionist smiled,

"Hi John! Come in."

I walked in with a confused look on my face. She sat down behind her desk and said,

"I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"You speak korean yes?"

I nodded,

"Some yeah."

"Do you think you if you had too, you can have a conversation in it?"

I nodded and she smiled,

"Okay! Well there is a new student coming tomorrow, his name is Taeyong Lee, he moved here from Seoul, South Korea. And I need you to show him around. I mean he speaks english but he's more comfortable speaking korean so i need you to help."

I nodded,

"I can do that!"

"Thank you so much! And send Jaehyun down here there are two students coming and i'm assigning one to him since he's been in this situation before."

I smiled,

"Can i tell him he's in trouble?"

"Yes! I'm willing to play along."

I clapped and then ran back to class,

"Mrs. Thompson, they need Jaehyun."

I was acting sad and disappointed. He walked up to me and said,

"Is it because of us throwing hyuck and mark in the trash cans?"

I nodded and he face palmed. He walked out of the room and I immediately began laughing as i walked back to my seat. My teacher looked at me and asked

"John, what's so funny?"

"I told him we were in trouble. We're not, we're getting new students from Korea."
