Episode 1
Korean airport...
The shadow of an airplane zoomed through the clear blue sky as I grabbed my luggage and walked out of the double-glass doors, making sure to see I had enough cash on me. I took a deep breath, amazed at all of the wonderful sights and smells that bombarded me. After stretching my legs I hailed a taxi, gave the driver some directions and was soon out on the road. The tall sky scrapers pasted by like a blur as I looked over the papers in my bag, checking to make sure everything was in place. Studying abroad was one of the most terrifying as well as one of the most exhilarating things I have considered back when I was an incoming freshman in high school. What happened was, my father had a really good friend back when he was in school who was now the principal of a certain high school in Korea and he urged my father to let me go and attend.
Of course somewhere along the line of our heated conversation at dinner one night during the last few weeks of my first semester in high school, I ended up being a bit apprehensive at the idea and even my mother had some doubts sending me to a country across the damn globe before the spring semester started.
"How are we going to help him if he gets into trouble?" She had fretted, wiping her hands on an apron after washing the dishes. My mother met my father when they were attending graduate school and then a few years after that they got married. "What if he doesn't make any friends? What if he doesn't have enough money? Why can't we just wait until he finishes up the semester here?"
"He's going to be fine. I'll make sure to give him a special envelop before he leaves." My father had assured her with a goofy grin on his face, smoking a pipe on the couch. "I want him to open up his horizon and learn more about the world instead of staying here in the states. A little traveling will help him become a man. Besides, Charles said that he'll allow my son to send credit back to his school by the end of the term."
"More like putting my oldest baby in danger." She huffed before pulling me close, crushing me against her soft breasts. "Honey, you don't have to make your decision now, you still have at least 3 more months to think about it."
"Mooooom..." I said exasperatedly as she started to mess with my hair, an act she does to calm her nerves than mine. "I'm a big boy now, not a kid."
"I understand but..." Teary eyed, she quickly reached over and grabbed a kerchief, blowing her nose and wiping away some tears with her sleeves. "This is a decision that you have to make on your own and I worry about you."
"I know Mom, please don't cry." I held her hands in mine as I gazed at her. My mother was everything precious and I really didn't want her to feel upset about my decisions. " I know this might be a lot to take in but...I really want to give this opportunity a try. It'll only be for the school semester and if I don't like it, I could always come back and attend school here. Okay?"
"O-Okay..." She nodded after a few minutes, throwing away the crumpled kerchief into the trashcan and pulled me into a hug. "Just promise me you'll call when you can?
"I promise." I said and she smiled, feeling a bit better knowing that I was turning into a responsible young lad.
"I wanna go too." My sister who was only younger than I by a year, Seria approached me with her puffed-up cheeks that made her look like a chipmunk. Her hair is the complete opposite of mine, about shoulder-length white hair with one bang that ended up being green.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." My mother said, pulling away from me and pulled my sister into a hug instead. "It's hard enough to send your brother off...Let your father and I think about it when you're ready."
"That's my boy! I'll let my friend know about your decision and then we'll start preparing for your trip." My father laughed heartily, ruffling my hair with a hand and disappeared to make the phone call.
"You should probably give Rhynt a call to let him know. He was anxious the last time you two met up." My mom told me as she walked back to the kitchen and Seria went back into the living room to watch her favorite show. Rhynt Rao was about 5 years older than I was but we were the best of friends. One summer he went to Korea for an internship and instantly fell in love with the country however his parents refused to let him leave the states since he was still a junior in high school. However they promised that he could go over there for college if he so wished.
The only reason why my mother would bring him up was because when he was over in Korea he fell in love with a girl and the two of them spent a lot of time together before he had to return back to the states. He showed me pictures of the two of them and I had to agree, she really was beautiful. My mother and father talked it over with Rhynt and agreed to let me go overseas to study but worried about where I was going to live.
"I have a friend who may be willing to let him live in her home during the duration of his stay. And besides, her place is not too far from the school of choice." Rhynt had told them during their discussion. "Just let me know what you all decide in the end so I have time to tell her in advance."
"Mmhmm! I will right now." I nodded and hurried upstairs to give him a call after giving both my mom and my sister a kiss on the cheek. "Hello? Rhynt? Yeah it's me. Listen, my parents agreed to let me go!"
"Sir? Wake up Sir, we have arrived." The driver's voice floated through my ears and jolted me out of my daydream. Stepping out of the vehicle with my possessions and looking around groggily I realized that we definitely arrived at the designated destination. I did not remember when I dozed off but I thanked him for the ride and paid the fare. "Thank you very much. Have a good day Sir." He bowed to me, got back into the vehicle and drove off.
Alright! This is it...I thought as the gates opened up and, taking a deep breath, I took my first step into the high school that would soon change my life for the better or for the worse. Wild's private high school, a 42 year old girl's martial arts high school recently became a coed school. My damn old man should have warned me that this was a girls school...an ALL GIRLS school. What the fuck was he thinking?!
"Welcome, freshman! What a great day!" I was greeted by a muscular middle aged man, of a great height with shoulder length blonde hair that has two parts in the front which are shorter and frame his lined face. He has thick blonde eyebrows, bright blue eyes with identifiable eye lashes consisting of two on the top of the eyes and four on the bottom parts of the eyes, with a sharp hook like nose. The lower part of his face consists with a beard that is trimmed with two large jagged edges close to his cheekbones and four smaller jagged pieces around the chin area. His outfit consists of a white collared shirt, a navy blue tie, a navy blue sleeveless jacket, matching pants and a pair of black shiny boots.
He was the board president of the school, Charles Wilds...aka my dad's drinking buddy and best friend from why back then. Holding out his hand he shook mine vigorously, delighted at my appearance...even his nose hair was curled upwards like a smiling mustache. "Congratulations! Regardless of your grades back in the Americas, I the Board President, promise to grant a full scholarship as long as you attend regularly!"
"Really?" I blinked as we walked through the corridors, the thoughts of me attending a girls school were knocked back down to the back of my mind. Passing a room I glanced inside and saw a lot of trophies depicting different sports from different tournaments. Wow this school is really athletic...
"Absolutely!" He opened the door to his office and gestured for me to take a seat before pouring me a cup of water."You know, you look exactly like your father...minus the hair. He always got it cut, never had it long."
"Yeah but I never did like the short style." I replied, running a hand through my medium-length, shaggy green-white hair. Actually the only part of my hair that was white was a few strands on the left side of my head. "I do get it layered sometimes."
"I wanted to discuss something with you." Mr. Wilds sat at his desk which was littered with a bunch of documents but he didn't seem interested in them at the moment. "Our girls, they have world-class combat skills. However, there is one thing they're missing." He struck a dramatic pose. ""The ideology of our school is 'a perfect and strong woman'. But, we, me and teachers...have neglected them."
Oh my...he's rambling off a list of graduate students and their accomplishments...I took a sip of my drink while nodding my head at what he was saying, not sure if I could comprehend all that was being spewed out of his mouth so I decided to pay more attention to my drink instead.
"I can't even list them all one by one cause there are so many! Not to mention 8 presidential awards!" He pumped his fists into the air with glee. "Our girls are only in their teens. They should be pure and innocent like these flowers!" He gestured to some plants sitting by the window still. "But how come they are growing up like weapons?! It's our duty to teach the girls at Wild's the joy of girlhood!"
"Umm...sir?" I tried to interrupt but apparently he was off on a tangent and there was nothing I could do about it. "Umm, Mr. Board President...sir?"
Ding-Dong~ Ding-Dong~
"Oh! That would be the bell!" Mr. Wilds looked up delightedly before ushering me to the door with a huge smile on his face. "Better hurry off to your class and don't be a stranger." Once I was out of the room he promptly shut the door in my face.
What the...that's it? I frowned as I stood there in silence for a few minutes before trudging towards my class, my schedule in hand as well as a map of the school. How Dad manage to befriend him is beyond me...
"Finally..." I paused mid-step when I heard a voice speaking up to me. Gazing down, I saw a boy standing in front of me, the top of his head only reaching the middle of my chest so he was a bit short. He looked like an average guy, fair brown hair with a cowlick on the top of his head, gray-colored eyes and a medium built body. He was currently wiping away some tears with the sleeve of his uniform. "Another male student...like me in this school."
"A-A-Are you okay? Why are you crying?" I waved my arms frantically, unsure what to do about the situation. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Oh no...it's just, I'm just so relieved that I wasn't the only one..." He stated, wiping away his tears before beaming up at me. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jae Gu Song, what is yours?"
"Tobias Vermillion, pleasure to meet you." I shook his hand in greeting. "But most of my friends back at my home just call me Tobi for short."
"What a lovely name." He grinned as we started to walk to class together, it appeared as though our classes were next to each other and we talked about our hobbies, what we liked and disliked as well as other particular interests. "I just know we'll be great friends here."
"I find it weird though..." I looked around to see the girls loitering in the yard, talking and giggling among themselves. "How in the world are we the only boys here on this campus besides the board president?"
"Well, since this school is a really well-known private high school there's no doubt that tuition is a bit too high for some others." Jae Gu chuckled lightly and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I can only hope I can get by in my academic studies without any problems."
"I can only imagine. I guess I'm in the same boat, as far as the grades are concerned." I nodded with agreement before looking out the window again for a minute and came to a complete stop. "Umm...why are the girls looking at us like we're fresh meat?"
"Huh?" Jae Gu also turned his head to look outside just in time to see a crowd of girls shooting predatory looks at us, cell phones held tightly in their hands. "Why ARE they looking at us like that?!" Suddenly the mob of girls rushed towards us with devilish smirks on their faces, ready to tear us apart limb from limb.
To say that it's raining men would be inaccurate, it was raining women because this one girl dropped from the upper level, stopping the other girls from advancing once she landed in front of us.
"Freshman, Jae Gu Song!" The girl spoke, breaking the glass with her elbow before grabbing the boy by the front of his shirt while I just looked on with a mild expression on my face. "You're mine!"
