K.I.S.S - Korean Independent School of Seoul. The school that my mom went in her junior year of highschool. the school me and kitty will be attending in 1 week.

Being a twin sister to Kitty and younger sister of Margot and LJ is tiring. but, i love it. I've always been close to my family, especially since my mom has been gone since i was a baby.

me and kitty are especially close. when she told me her k.i.s.s. operation i knew i had to come with. i too wanted to learn about my mom, and k.i.s.s had the best photography program in the world.

it was fate that my mom just happened to go there, and it was fate that there was only two spots left.

"dad please. there are two spots left for me and vivi and it's perfect. we would be going to the same exact school that mom went to." kitty spoke as we stood infront of our dad and trina, his girlfriend.

trina looked at him and gave him a soft smile. "come on honey. i think this would be good for the girls."

"see!" kitty spoke loudly. "it's perfect. tuition isn't bad too. and we got into the same scholarship mom got into. it's fate!"

"vivi? what do you think?" my dad asked me. my stomach had been in knots since kitty brought it up to me. i looked down and started picking at my skin.

"i want to get to know mom." i said softly. my dad stopped talking. me and kitty looked at each other, finally, he sighed and nodded his head. me and kitty started screaming for joy.

"but!" we got quiet. "you have to be extremely careful. and you have to stay ontop of your grades. and no boys!"

me and kitty laughed together and immediately ran to hug our dad. "thank you thank you thank you!!"

a song played through my headphones as i stared up at my ceiling. kitty immediately started packing in our room but i was too scared to.

kitty jumped on my bed and started tapping on my arm. "hey! what are you listening to."

i took my headphones off. "i am by ive" kitty took my phone an unplugged my head phones so we could both listen to the music.

"i'm on my wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy" kitty sang off tune. i mockingly covered my ears laughing at her.

she flopped next to me while laughing and turned towards me. "so are you excited." i said with a smile.

"as excited as i'll ever be." she replied. "have you told him yet?"

"no okay i've been wanting to tell you my plan." i crossed my legs and waited for her to tell me her probably over elaborate plan.

"so, my plan:
1. go to seoul
2. find how to get to k.i.s.s. (should be easy.)
3. find my dorm and get ready
4. go to the welcome party
5. surprise dae at welcome party by saying: "have you seen my boyfriend anywhere?"
to which we will 6. have our first kiss!"

i chuckled at her elaborate list. "wait so you're tell me, you moving across the world to be with a guy that has no clue you're coming"

kitty looked around. "yup!" i sighed roughly. "why do i always have to be the sane one." kitty hit me on the arm and laughed. "don't act like you aren't going to seoul for a boy too!"

"excuse me! i would never!" i dramatically gasped and held my hand on my heart. "i cant believe you think of me like that!"

"how is mystery boy doing?" she asked me and my face got red immediately.

look. i know i said i wasn't going for some boy but.. come on! if i had a chance to i would. and he isn't just some boy. i met him through the internet. we 'met' online around the time we went to seoul when he told me he was from seoul after i had posted about it.  it's not like anything will happen okay!

"argh kitty" i hit her with a fluffy pillow from my bed. "you know how i hate when you call him that! he's just a friend! nothing romantic. strictly platonic! and besides, meeting him is just a pro! i'm only going for school and mom."

"yeah sure!" she laughed. she continued packing as i got my suitcase out, deciding to pack too. "has he texted you yet?"

"no kitty. it's only 8am." i lied. "okay fine. he texted me two hours ago." i confessed.

"and when does he wake up for school?" she tilted her head in a way that makes her look like a puppy dog. "6" i looked down.

she squealed in reply. "he so likes you! this is amazing! we are gonna be dating at the same time! we can go on double dates!"

"wow slow your roll kitty! we are JUST friends. and he only knows me by my korean name!" i annunciated the word just. "and he will ONLY know me by nabi. nothing more, nothing less." annunciated again.

"argh im so jealous of your korean name. it's so pretty." i sighed and grabbed her hand. "katherine song covey! you're amazing and special in your own way. don't let me affect that!"

she's always being brought down because of me and i made it up to her by giving her so many compliments it'll make her ego float one day. it's the least i could do.

everyone always said i was the prettiest, the calmest, best personality, and while that was nice and all, it hurt seeing my bestfriend being brought down because of me.

"i know, i just-" i cut her off. "nope! nope nope nope! not listening!" i covered my ears and danced around our room. "lalalalalala i cant hear you!"

she laughed at me and grabbed her phone, taking a video of me. "i'm showing everyone at k.i.s.s this!" i chuckled and grabbed my phone after it dinged.

"mystery boy?" kitty sang from the other side of the room. it was him..

M- nabi! what did your dad say!
N- hm.. why should i tell you!
M- because you should!
N- no.
M- man. that sucks!
N- it's whatever!

yes i'm aware i lied to him. i couldn't face him! meeting someone that means as much to me as he does could be dangerous! plus won't it change our friendship?

maybe it will.. but shouldn't i take some chances? isn't this my time to take some chances!

new country. new me. right?
