The Girl in the Pool// Yoonji

CHAPTER TWO

Walking into the classroom.. I was a bit nervous and suddenly all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in.
Some people were giving me smiles and others were giving me other looks..

I nervously walk up to my teacher. She smiles at me and starts to speak to the classroom.

"Give Yn a warm welcome." She says

"Introduce yourself honey." She spoke up softly and pointed.

"Umm.. hi I'm Yn. I've just moved to Korea from America." I say in a whisper that only a mouse to hear me.

"Speak up hun." She assisted I say it again.

Before I could say anything more students laugh at me and soon I hear that same girl speak up.
I cross my arms at her ignorance.

"Omg she's mute!!" She says laughing out loud as the others do the same.

The teacher looked so mad, she didn't know what to do.

"Quiet!! Stop being so rude to our new student!!" She says angry.

"Did you wanna try it again Yn?" She reassured me I would be fine.

"I'm Yn and I'm from the United States." I make it short and sweet this time.

Everyone goes silent and Mrs. Tang, my teacher tells me to take a seat anywhere I'd like.

I take a seat by the window in the very far back of the classroom. The girl looks at me with an evil smirk on her face, I just turn my head in the other direction.

A tear comes down my face when feeling as embarrassed as I was during that time. It felt so unfair and wrong how I was being treated for no apparent reason.

I didn't do anything to her. Why does she hate me so much..?

"Anyways.. let's get back to work. Shall we..?" Mrs. Tang says smiling lightly even thought was annoyed, and planned on talking to Yoonji after class.

"Everyone turn to page 21 in your notebooks." She begin to speak in Korean.

I found this whole thing very interesting and I just looked the Korean language. I'm fluent in it and so it was very easy for me.

But I guess other people didn't know if I could speak it or now.

"Can you understand that Yn?" The same girl says to me in English to make it seem like I'm dumb.

"Ofc I can-" I was going to answer her back in her own language but I was interrupted by Mrs. Tang.

"BE QUIET YOONJI. No one asked you to speak!!" She hisses back. She points her long ruler at the chalkboard and bangs on it.

Everyone stops laughing and becomes completely silent, until she speaks again.

"Continue on page 22 and read all the way to 24 and complete the exercise. After your finished with that get a partner and work on speaking in Korean."

She sit back down in her seat and does paperwork.

All the students start on their work, except one person. Yoonji..

My eyes are glued on the textbook in front of me, but I feel some eyes on me.. I quickly turn my head to see who's staring.

And it's Yoonji..

I raise my eyebrow at her abs she just sticks her tongue out. Kinda of tensing me.. I wonder why she's acting that way towards me.

She much hate me a lot.. I thought we could be friends.

I at least wanna be friends with someone.. someone please be my friend..

I continued to read and complete the exercise with ease.

45 mins later

"Everyone should be ready to pick there partner for then next exercise." Mrs. Tang says standing up and passing out the paperwork.

"And of your partner is one of your friends then I will choose for you." She says in Korean while folding her arms.

I look around the room for a partner. Ofc I didn't see anyone who would wanted to be with me.. I quickly look at my paperwork and try to do it on my own.

Until I'm interrupted.. with a hard to on my shoulder. I look up at the person who is grinning in my face, with an evil look on their face.

"Are you all alone ..? Aww what a shame.. you have no partner." Yoonji says while dancing around my chair.

I looked at my teacher and she was forced on the screen in front of her. Typing away.. I just sigh to myself and except this torture.

"I'll be your partner Yn.." someone says in a whisper.

I look at the direction that small voice came from. And it's the same guy I seen at the bus stop. He looked so nervous when walking to my seat.

Yoonji stands by my desk and rolls her eyes, heading back to her seat and sitting down.

"Assholes.." she said loud enough for only the students to hear.

"hi I'm wooyoung.. nice to meet you Yn." He says holding out his hand for me to shake.

I shake his hand and smile at him.

"Nice to meet you too." He gets a seat and pulls it up beside me for him to sit.

This just brightened my whole day...
