"i know i ask this every time it's the first day of school, but are you sure about this?" joshua closed the front door behind him.
every year he does the same thing. he gets too worried over me and starts stressing if i'm going to be okay or if i'm going to get in trouble, or lost, or if someone's going to bother me.
it's like every parent ever when it's their child's first day of school, except magnified to ten.
"yes, shua," i chuckled lightly, "we've been over this a million times."
the summer heat was almost over, this season went by so quickly that i didn't even have a moment to realize it had even begun, but the autumn chill was in the air.
the beginning of september is usually either too hot or the wind is too cold, never letting you settle for a moment.
"just making sure," he pressed his lips together and brought me to his car, opening the door for me in the process.

i've started wearing more flowy outfits these last few weeks, seeing as they are comfortable and work extremely well with my body type.

you could feel we were getting close when more and more young people started appearing in the streets, all of them huddled into groups trying to find their way around.
the streets were full of people, just getting close to the group of hundreds made my breathing scatter.
"that's a lot of people," i whispered, holding onto joshua's arm.
"yeah..." he looked just as astounded as i.
"you still wanna go into that alone?" he couldn't look away from the bustling crowd.
"yeah, i'll find my way around," my lips thinned into a line, mentally preparing myself for what was going to happen now.
it was intimidating just how many people there were, and they all seemed to know each other. but, i suppose it will be high school all over again, just finding my way around by myself, it's not like i'm out of practice.
"just so you know, bangchan is going to be following you around," he finally met my eyes.
"bangchan is here," the sudden news of his presence brought a wide smile to my face. he's an old friend and i missed him.
"he isn't admitted to the school but he's going to be around just in case," he nodded.
going on my own was a scary thought, but knowing he was around in the background felt reassuring. this is going to give me a taste of what the world is, but i'm still going to be safe. i'm not just walking across a wire in the middle of the air without a safety net, i'm still going to be okay if i fall.
