"Go get your shoes!!"
I hear first thing in the morning. I wake up out of frustration already familiar to this agonising noise bouncing around the house. It's no surprise living in a house with 3 other siblings along with a single mum. It most definitely does NOT help me get a good night's rest.
I get up and go to the bathroom to get away from all these hyenas. Suddenly, all my thoughts came rushing back to me, I'M GONNA BE LATE. I quickly change and rush downstairs, and let me tell you, I have NEVER ran that fast aside from the multiple times I've been chased by dogs.
"Finally, you're here." Mum says.
I finally got to packing my lunch whilst everyone else had already headed off to school.
"Well no shit, look who decided not to wake me up after my alarm rang." I said near the door leading me outside.
Before a word could leave my mum's mouth, I shut the door.
[Insert cool partion here]
I'm gasping for air now at the bus stop,
I still can't believe I had to come to Korea, what's so special about this country? My mother had no choice but to move here because she thinks that me and my siblings are too 'white-washed'? I wouldn't disagree with that but it doesn't mean I don't want to be white washed! I only know simple phrases in Korean. How am I ever going to make friends? Never mind that but, how will I ever communicate with ANYONE other than saying 'Hi' or, 'Thank you'.
I see a bus in the distance which I presume is the bus that will take me to my new school. I get in without a word after paying the amount.
[Another cool partion thing]
I am now here. I wish time would go a little bit slower, as my anxiety kicked in. I stood there for a couple of minutes just admiring the school building. It seems like I have a few minutes left until class, well the class that's written in my timetable. as soon as I stepped into the building, the bell rang indicating that I should go to my class now.
I was practically staring at my timetable, just so I could avoid eye contact.what has gotten into me? I decided to look upfront until, the second I did, I lightly brushed my hand with someone, as the bell rang. I looked back to see a familiar face.
As I was about to say something I got dragged into a crowd of students rushing to get to their classes since there was only a few seconds left until classes started.
I walked in to a class full of students, then there again i see the same face I saw previously, I didn't notice I was staring at them until the same face looked back at me with confusion in their eyes. Wow, who would just walk into a class full of random students and stare at one until everyone questions they're doing.
In the midst of my awkward smiling, the teacher finally spoke and told me to introduce myself. Surprisingly, I knew everything she said.
"Today we have a new student, introduce yourself y/n"
I take a deep breath, I can do this, it's just a simple introduction.
"H-hello, my name is y/n , I came from America, I hope to get along with everyone."
Amazing, of course I had to stutter but it didn't really matter since everyone was so shocked I was from America.
"Now, Y/N I'd like you to take a seat at the empty seat at the back of the class."
I scanned the room once again, just to see who I'm sitting with. Him, it's him AGAIN. Are we soulmates or something? I moved to the back without making noise, I looked at him, whilst he did the total opposite and decided to avoid eye contact. aye, I see we both are introverted.
Throughout the whole class, the only thing I was thinking about was the person sitting right next to me. I just know I've seen him somewhere. I've only been in Korea as a very young child from the age 0 to 6, so I wouldn't be suprised if I've met him during those times.
I jump to the sound of the bells, from the sheer happiness on the students faces I could assume it was time for break.
well shit, what do I do now? Make new friends? I guess that's what I'm supposed to do. But I'm rather interested in this one specific guy. I don't know, it's just something about him that's making me need to talk to him.
When I was packing everything into my bag, I came up with every possible way I could start a conversation. It's now or never.
"Hi, I'm Y/N, do you want to be friends? I'm new to this country so it's pretty hard to communicate."
Empty silence.
