The hand touched my shoulder and I jumped out of my skin! I couldn't make out who the person was as it was a bit dark. But then .. as my eyes adjusted I could make out the figure of a lady. Fuck.......it was the manager!! I had to take 12 fricking breaths to calm my thumping-like-crazy heart! She came closer to me and at that time I saw a scowl on her face. I was about to ask her what happened but then she spoke first, "Your dad is looking for you. He has permitted you to eat! Please follow me."Even though she spoke with a smile on her face...her tone was cold and empty.
I rushed back to the dining hall and saw my dad finishing his dessert. One look at the food on display and all the thoughts of the weird ancient door just...poof...vanished. I filled my stomach to the fullest and let out a sigh of satisfaction. Dad gave me a look of disapproval but who cares, I just enjoyed my food. But then all of a sudden the incident of finding that door didn't leave me. It was like that thought was haunting me! GOD, I had to distract myself!! So I decided to focus on my immediate surroundings. Though there are a ton of things I have to do in the new house, the very first act I could think of was going to my new school. I asked my mom whether I could join today and she said YES!!! According to her, it'd be better if I went after lunch. So right after lunch, I changed into a white sweatshirt and faded jeans as I hadn't bought the school's uniform yet(I wasn't planning on buying one either xD !).then I picked my bag and dumped in a few notes, pens and oh, of course, my phone! Being a rich heir, I was used to being in the best schools. My dad had never disappointed me. But this time I was scared! I was in a totally different country.i had no idea how the schools here would be. But woahh....my dad didn't break his record!
I was placed in Seoul International school. Lemme give you a quick walkthrough of my feelings before stepping out of the house! I was worried about how I would approach my new classmates. I didn't eat my lunch properly because of anxiety. I was kinda not into my sense till I reached the gate. But then, something jumped into my train of thoughts and guess what it was!.......that DOOR!!!!! Oh crap!! a teenager has a lot of things to worry about.No wonder the percentage of kids having mental breakdowns has increased considerably! I could have reduced my anxiety if I had just allowed mom to drop me to school. But then I didn't want my first impression to be like I was a rich kid...coz most of the time those kids are treated with contempt! So I decided to take a taxi.
When I reached school, my legs started trembling, I had no clue about where my class was, nor did I know how to find my homeroom teacher. I walked through the corridor and saw many of the kids standing and talking to each other. I guessed it was recess for the kids. As I walked I could feel all their eyes on me. This was obviously because I was new and looked out of place due to my rebel character of not wearing a proper uniform. It made me feel a bit nervous. But I couldn't let them know that I was intimidated so I put on my confident-to-the core face and walked with my held up high. When I reached the third floor, I saw a crowd.I could hear the students murmuring about something with great excitement and humor. I tried standing on my toes to see what was happening but could see anything. So I pushed my way through the people standing. I pushed with great force thinking that it would be a bit tough but the crowd suddenly moved a bit and I ended up stumbling forward with abnormal speed. I almost dashed into someone but caught myself just before I collided with whoever that was. I looked up to find a tall and extremely attractive guy. He had dark chocolate brown messy hair, deep brown eyes, an amazing jawline, and a hot look! He looked about my age and was overall extremely handsome! Suddenly a small smile (more of a smirk)appeared on his face. That's when I realized I had been staring at him for too long! I averted my eyes immediately to cover up my humiliation! But the sight in front of me just evaporated all the embarrassment.
A boy(probably a year or two younger than me) was sitting crouched on the floor near the lockers! He was sobbing. I looked up to find 2 guys picking on him! On the side, the guy with whom I was about to collide, stood. His attention was still on me but I could make out that was a part of the gang that was bullying the little kid. A pang of pity just hit me! I turned to the douchebag once again. He was still looking at me. I wanted to shout at him and his gang. But something stopped me. I remembered that I was new here and getting on the bad side of a bully was obviously not a good idea! But I had a feeling that I was already targeted! I hid my fear and put on an angry face. He smiled at me, but I could see the meaning behind that smile. Then he turned towards his gang and left quietly. I kept looking at that guy with disgust...even as he was walking away.
After that douchebag was out of my sight, I turned to face the guy who was being bullied.I had a bottle of water so I handed it to him. He looked at me with a surprised expression. I just smiled. All the students were dumbstruck when they saw what I did. I could almost read their minds-"Shes soooo dead. That douchebag is definitely gonna make her his new target. blah blah".I had to find my classroom so I got up, smiled at him and ran towards the room that had a TEACHERS OFFICE sign on it. The moment I entered the office an elegant and wise-looking lady greeted me and called me in. She told me to call her Miss Mae. She helped me get a clear picture of the school. The infrastructure was amazing and my classroom was on the 4th floor. I couldn't wait to join the class. It was quite interesting here. The only thing I was worried about was my background! I didn't want anyone to know about my family's status as it would be weird. So I requested miss Mae to keep that part confidential.
I walked to my class with Miss Mae. She guided me into the room and made me stand in front of the class. I kept my eyes down the whole time. Miss Mae gave a crisp intro about me and asked the students to take care of me. The moment she finished I looked up and let my eyes sweep over the class. but before I could move my eyes even an inch, the first thing I murmur is," Oh, shit!!!!" The first person my eyes found was none other than .....DOUCHEBAG! How much worse could my day get!!!!! He was LITERALLY STARING AT ME!!! His eyes clearly showed the message..."Hey girl, you're my next victim!".........
