My celebrity crush

Chapter 1 : Journey begins

I've never slept this much before . Waking up to the sun's bright light shining upon my ugly face , a thought pops up in my mind , something I thought I had forgotten over the years . The idea of not making friends wasn't always there and even when I started the strike , there was a time I wanted to make friends with someone.

     From kindergarten to 3rd grade , I had 2 best friends , Lisa and Skyler , we did everything together , from making friendship bracelets to forcing Skyler to watch barbie with us , we were like the popular kids of the school and everyone wanted to come over on the weekends to hang with us , it was amazing to have people you know will always be there to do what you like even if they don't like it.

But when I started gaining weight , Lisa distanced herself and enticed the other kids to do the same . She called me all sorts of names and made me feel bad about myself .

     It was the most horrible experience of my life . Everyday I went to school thinking what the mean kids would do to me .

     Skyler stuck with me for a while and tried to encourage me , he was a good friend to me , but eventually they made fun of him too for being with me and I distanced myself to avoid making his life miserable .

       When we moved , I was afraid everyone here would hate me too and I was scared of being dumped like an old toy . My siblings and I were allowed to stay home for a year in order to settle in fully and get to know the neighborhood first , and during this period is the time I watched my first korean drama, it was the first time I saw myung soo .

      In the movies , he was a dark , lonely character but he didn't care about people's looks and that's what drew me to him . After watching the first episode , I was already stalking him like some mad crazy fan .

       He was about 12 by then so there wasn't much to stalk , but he did have a youtube channel where he would vlog with his friends just for fun and watching these made me grow fond of the real him and not the person portrayed in the movies .

       Nine years later , and I'm still stalking him , I can confidently say I've watched every YouTube video more than once , and I know all his lines from my favourite series by heart .

But I'm tired of just sitting in my room and admiring him from a distance .

   The sun shines on my face , almost blinding me . I haven't closed my eyes even for a minute and Its already morning. I get out of bed to go downstairs , there's a zombie staring back at me from the mirror , it's hideous , with bags under it's eyes and hair like someone who had a fight with a monkey .

   I see everyone in the kitchen , once I'm downstairs and rush to them in excitement.

   
"I'm going to Korea today !" , I scream out loud , everyone just looks at me like I've lost it , well to be fair a normal person wouldn't waste half of their life, doing nothing but waiting till they are the right age just so that they can go see their crush.

"Did you hit your head?"Clarissa asks.

"No , I believe my love for Asher will take me there , I just can't wait any longer." I say with excitement on my face . I skip my way over to my dad , pull up a chair right next to him and sit down .

   "She's officially lost it ", he says under his breath . I pretend not to hear him and just start to eat the toasted bread . When I'm halfway done , I stand up and skip my way back to my room taking the unfinished toast with me in my hand. Once I'm in my room , I quickly finish up the rest of it and head straight to my walk in closet and enter looking around as I do.

  To my right are my collection of sneakers and to my left are the hoodie's , sweat shirts and sweatpants . I pass by all of them,  I go right to the end where I keep my bags. I pick up a red , dusty suitcase and like I said I've never really left the house so this'll be my first time using it.
