It was the summer after my first year at the high school. I thought I should be the happiest person on the world. But I wasn't because I had to go on the Asian Camp. I wanted to go somewhere with Mercedes or something but my mom wanted me to be more Asian so I was there, on the car park, waiting for the bus.
When the bus has come, I went inside and took the place. I texted to my boyfriend, Artie, but he didn't text back so I started to looking through the window. And then I saw him. Oh, God - Other Asian. Mike Chang. I think he was saying 'goodbye' to his parents when he turned. God, hope he didn't see me staring at him. I couldn't think about him as much as I wanted to because some girl took place next to me.
'Hi' she said 'I'm Mei'
'Oh, hello' I said back 'My name is Tina.'
'I see you don't know anybody here.' she was trying to start conversation. 'Neither do I'
'Actually, I do but…'
'So why aren't you sitting with her? Or him?' she was straightforward. I liked it.
'Him. 'Cause we don't know each other very well. We're not friends. Or something' I answered.
'Oh, maybe you will' she had weird smile on her face 'But who is he exactly?'
'Other Asian' I said, not thinking what I'm saying.
'Um, here everybody is Asian' she laughed 'So which one?'
'Sorry, I forgot I'm not at school' I laughed at that time. 'His name is Mike Chang.'
'You call him Other Asian? Nice'
'Yeah. We are only Asians at the glee club. And at all school' I explained 'People also call him Asian Number Two' I smiled.
'Ha, ha. Have any nicknames?' She laughed again.
'Asian Number One, of course' I nodded 'And Girl Chang' I smiled. 'And he is Boy Chang.'
'You have the same surnames?' she had to know everything. 'Chang?'
'Similar. I am Tina Cohen-Chang' I said.
'And where are you from?'
'I'm Korean' I answered.
'And him?'
'I'm not sure. I think he's from China' I answered. 'What's about you? We're talking only about me and him'
'I'm from Japan.' she answered.
And then we started to talking about everything. After about 2 hours she felt asleep. So I was looking at everything what was in front of my eyes and thinking about glee club. And thinking of glee club means thinking of Mike Chang. And I don't know why.
