Chapter 13

The first period of the day was Form Teacher's period where the form teacher sorts out administrative stuff for us. She came to our class, but with a guy that looks like our age. He looked a little tanned, his hair was styled well and his uniform was neat. He was tall and had a flawless skin complexion. He doesn't really look 100% Korean, and he sure is charming.

"Alright students, we've got a new friend here, he'll be joining your class for the rest of the year," Ms Jaei said to us and our eyes turned to him.

"Annyeonghaseyo," he greeted, with full confidence, "My name's Lee Seojun. I hope I can make friends here."

The class had no respond.

"Alright Seojun, you can sit um..." Ms Jaei looked for a seat.

There was a vacant one beside Jin.

"Alright Taehyung, you sit beside Jin and Seojun, you go beside Hyejin," she said.

Before me and Taehyung could react, that Seojun guy was already coming towards us.

Taehyung stared at him for a few seconds then he looked at me. I folded my arms and waited, with my eyes awkwardly looking on the ground.

Taehyung stood up and shifted beside Jin, which is at the same row as mine, the last row, but 4 tables away to my right.

Seojun came and sat beside me. "Hi," He said and put out his hand for me to shake.

"We don't do handshakes much in Korea," I said, a little annoyed at the new boy.

"Oh," he stood up and bowed at me while the whole class stared at us.

"Yah! Sit down," I shouted in a whisper. He quickly sat.

The form teacher was briefing us on some stuff and telling our exam schedule.

I looked at him. "You're not Korean are you?"

He softly chuckled, "My mom is Korean, my dad's Canadian. I was born in Canada but I know a little Korean so I'm here."

"Why didn't you stay in Canada?" I asked.

He looked away for awhile, "Well, my parents got divorced and I'm staying with my mom now so, I'm pretty new to Korea."

I became silent for awhile, not knowing how to respond to that. I could tell he was really new, because his Korean was all over the place and he kinda stuttered.

We both were quiet paying attention to the rest of the lessons.

"I'm really pleased that all of you submitted the Humanities project on Monday and I have graded your works so do take a look at your scores. I'll be pinning it up on the class' noticeboard," Ms Gil said.

Everyone got curious and rushed to the noticeboard after she has pinned it up, except Taehyung and Seojun.

I scanned through the list to see mine.

"Yoongi & Namjoon - Grade B
Mina & Jungkook - Grade A
Jimin & Hoseok - Grade C
Hyejin & Taehyung - Grade A..."

I ran to Taehyung and woke him up. "YAH!! WE GOT 'A' FOR OUR HUMANITIES PROJECT!" I said excitedly. His eyes bulged and he smiled.

"Seriously?" He asked. I nodded my head.

"But I did most of the work, so you owe me something," I said and stuck my tongue out.
"Excuse me? I gave the ideas okay," He replied.
"Anniyo, you have to treat me a meal next time," I said. He simply ignored me and continued sleeping, with his head on the desk.
