first day of junior year. with choppy korean. how much better could lauren's life get?

lauren's not a morning person. never has been, never will be. especially today since she couldnt even wear the outfits she had planned out all because of a uniform.

she climbed out of bed and took a shower, washing everything except her hair. maybe it was the warm water but she was really tired.

as soon as she got out she quickly put on her uniform and did a bit a makeup, only doing concealer and mascara. she grabbed her pink converse along with her school blazer and walked to the kitchen.

both of her parents were sleeping but someone had left a plate of waffles on the counter with a note that said 'have a good first day laur!' with drawings that were clearly drawn by her dad and written in her moms handwriting.

she smiled and took the two waffles on the plate making sure she took her black jansport backpack that her mom had put on one of the hooks near the entrance along with her crocheted bag that was also hanging on one of the hooks.

she walked with one foot in front of the other, counting how many steps each square on the sidewalk took up, as she took bites out of her waffles.

soon enough she finished her waffles and arrived at school.

mind you, she has not been to a korean school in about nine years let alone never been to a korean high school. as i said before, she was ecstatic. note the sarcasm.

she stood in front of the school wobbling back and forth wondering if she should go in or just skip the first day of school.

"i like your shoes"

interrupting her thoughts that were going at a million miles per hour, a random voice spoke out. she turned to her right where the voice came from and faced a long legged girl.

lauren nodded her head, "oh thanks"

the tall girl stood next to lauren almost sensing all of the girls thoughts, "you're new."

lauren nodded bluntly as her eyebrows relaxed.

"c'mon," she grabbed the girls wrist and started walking "i'll take you to where you need to go."

usually, lauren would probably whip her arm away if some random stranger randomly grabbed her arm just like any other person but she really needed the help.

the long legged girl stopped in front offices, "you're lauren dia right?"

as soon as she heard those four words come out of her mouth she quickly whipped her arm out of the girls grip and raised her eyebrows in confusion, "no. why?"

the girl let out a laugh, "you're the only new girl here i was supposed to show you around. im guessing you're parents didn't tell you about someone showing you around correct?"

lauren's face stayed straight and didn't respond to the girl. the girl stuck her hand, indicating that she wanted a hand shake, "im jung hana...or hana jung like you say in america right?" the girl let out an awkward laugh.
