Angela stared at Dae Kun's perfect cheekbones as he smiled and looked lovingly into her eyes. They had only known each other for a week, but they already had a connection that seemed special. After class Angela was pulled backwards. She screamed softly and turned around in one swift motion to see Dae Kun smiling down at her.
"Hello, love."
Dae Kun's voice was soft and light, like a feather in a perfect field of green.
"Dae Kun, I told you not to scare me! What do you want?" Angela shot a nasty look at him but regressed back to a smile to show she wasn't really mad. Dae Kun didn't answer. He just kept smiling at her and she eventually grabbed his hand and they walked to lunch.
Dae Kun had brought a neatly wrapped sandwich for lunch that was already cut in two pieces. He carefully handed one piece to Angela and she looked at it with disgust.
"What is this? A tuna fish sandwich? You know I hate seafood." Angela threw the sandwich back onto Dae Kun's lap and walked to the restroom to wash the smell of fish off her hands. Dae Kun walked to Mr. Plumlee's class feeling extremely ashamed and embarrassed. By the time Angela got out of the bathroom he was long gone. She could feel a pang in her heart and knew she had hurt him. Dae Kun loved nothing more than a good tuna fish sandwich and Angela had deeply insulted him. She ran over to Plumlee's class and screamed his name as she got to the door way.
"Dae Kun, I'm so sorry! I will eat your tuna fish any day. Please, give me one more chance." Angela had real sympathy in her voice but Dae Kun didn't even acknowledge her. He walked out the opposite door of the classroom and ran onto the field. Angela followed him for a few feet but had to stop because she was out of breath from running and crying at the same time. Dae Kun got to farthest corner of the field and collapsed on the cold grass. His eyes became heavy with tears and he could feel his nose becoming red. He then grabbed the tuna fish sandwich out of his pocket and open up the slices of bead. Inside was a small letter that read: My love, will you accompany me to the Warner Graduation Dance? Dae Kun grabbed the letter out of the sandwich, threw it on the floor, and let the wind carry it far away.
Across the field Nicholas stood tall next to Caroline who was busy flirting with other guys around her. Nicholas began fidgeting with his new Nikes as a small piece of paper few against his hand in the harsh wind. He kneeled down to picked it up and immediately smelt the stench of fish on it. He carefully grabbed it with two fingers and stood back up. Before even reading it he waved the letter in Caroline's face trying to annoy her with the bad smell. But instead of smelling the paper, Caroline read it. She smiled graciously at him with wide eyes and rosy cheeks.
"Nicholas, you want to go to the graduation dance? I thought you hated them!" Caroline was overjoyed at Nicholas's proposal. She grabbed his face and planted a kiss on his cheek. Nicholas stared at her speechlessly as she pranced over to Angela to tell her what happened. Nicholas suddenly began to panic.
"CAROLINE, WAIT! COME BACK!" He tried to get her attention but she was to far gone. Nicholas ran over to Caroline and was desperate to stop her from talking to Angela. Nicholas was head-over-heels in love with Angela, and if she thought that he asked Caroline out, she definitely would not love him back.
