Oh my gosh~ I'm totally nervous today! It's my first day...I mean...Everything's new...And I can't even talk straight Korean yet! My classmates would probably laugh at me. God please help me! I pray that my classmates will be extra nice to me and I pray I get to have new friends! Amen!
I put on my backpack and head downstairs. I hope things would go well!
"Morning mom! I need to get going now!" I said I grabbed my lunch box and stiffed it inside my bag.
"Honey, what about breakfast?!" Mom shouted
"I'm late mom! Bye!" I shout back. Aww i guess it's my fault. I was practicing my Korean introduction before I took a bath! Now I'm late! Just awesome!
I walk to the bus stop. I just stood and wait. Oh gosh! I'm late! A bunch of high schoolers, probably my age, stand next to me.
"Wohooooo! Look at her!" One boy whistled. I pouted at him. Oh? I don't feel too good about how they're staring at me. I flatten my skirt a bit.
"Wowww! Look at those legs!" Another guy said. They began laughing. Oh gosh! God, please help me! I'm scared! Please let the school bus come sooner!
"Annyeong! What's your name?" I think he's asking my name. I'm not sure... Ah I'm scared!
"Mmmm..." My lips trembled. I tried to scoot away from them but one of them grabbed my hand.
"Hey where are you going?" He was almost embracing me. God help me!
"Ah sc-school! Let me go!" I shouted
"Woah! She has a weird accent! I think she's a foreigner." He comes closer to my face. I felt weak and helpless. I just closed my eyes. God, please save me from these scary boys! I then felt them let go all of the sudden. I felt them move away. Oh gosh! What happened? I slowly opened my eyes and I see them on the other side of the bus stop. Huh? I look at my other side and a guy was standing next to me. He was just a few inches taller and his hair was a bit messy.
"Hey dude, we weren't doing anything to your girlfriend... We're sorry man..." They then walked away. They're very strange. Now only me and this guy was left. I guess he saved me from those bad guys. I the tapped his hand and he looked at me. I smiled at him.
"Ann-yeonnnng~ kkkam-sam-neeeda." I stuttered. Ah Korean is really hard! He laughed at me and turns away. I blushed because I was very embarrassed! Oh! He's strange as well. Did I said it wrong? I just look at the ground. Then I looked around. Finally the bus arrived! Golly! I'm so late! The guy goes in and I followed him. He sits down and I sit beside him. I didn't want to seat next to anyone else. They might be like those scary guys from a while ago. I wasn't sure if this was the rigjt bus. I just followed him... Ah dumb Tiff!
"Excuse me is this bus going to Seoul High School?" I tapped him again and gave him my best smile. He raised his brow at me. I guess he couldn't understand English. I don't remember how to ask for directions in Korean! Oh wait! I get my I.D. and showed it to him, I them made all sorts of actions. Trying to asked him directions. This went on for a few minutes. He just stared at me with a blank expression. Ahhhhhh! I'll probably get lost! Oh god I'm in trouble... Please help me. The bus then stops and he stood up. I unintentionally grabbed his hand because I was scared to get lost. The people in the bus suddenly reacted.
"Ohhhh... Is that Kim Taeyeon's girlfriend? She's really pretty but I pity her..." I heard some girls say... But I didn't understand most of what they said. He just walked out of the bis as if he didn't feel me holding his hand. He pulled me with him, and we got out of the bus. We were here! Seoul High School. Yeyy! Thank you God! This boy is my angel! He then breaks free from my hand. Oh gosh! I didn't notice that I was still holding his hand.
"Kkkam-sam-neeeedaaa!" I shouted as he walked inside. Oh he's my schoolmate... But why isn't he wearing out prescribed school uniform? I followed him... I guess we're classmates! We're heading for the same classroom. He opens the door and just came in. Hey that was rude! I stopped at the door and waited for my adviser to let me in.
"Good morning, Sir. I'm sorry I'm late." The teacher lets me in and smiled at me.
"Yo mas be the new studenteu. Cam enn!"
"Everyone this is your new classmate, Tippani Hwang." The teacher says. I guess he's introducing me. Oh now I have to put my Korean to the test! This what I have been practicing !
"Annyeongg... Haseiyow... Tiffany imneeduh!" I bowed really low and smiled at every one. I could see some of them are laughing. Oh well... My Korean sucks after all...
"Teyk a sheet there beside Misshter Kim" He pointed an empty chair next to the guy I just came i with.
"Kammmsamneeda!" I stuttered. Again. I took a seat and looked at him... I tried tapping him again.
"Fuck you." He said
What? What did he say? I need to sharpen my Korean language skill.
My classmates the started laughing... Huhhh? What's so funny?
