3 - First Day at KIS

MANDY

I woke up in the morning with a stretch and a soft yawn. Yunho was also just waking up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Since I already had all of my English, Math, Social Studies, and Science credits I was able to take whatever classes I wanted to. Yunho went to go get ready. I checked my email, humming softly. I had received an email from the principal/dean/head master... Whatever you call them here... She wanted to meet with me before school to discuss my schedule. I inhaled softly and got myself ready for school. Since we don't have uniforms we can essentially wear whatever we want. So I chose to wear a white pleated skirt, a blue Cinnamoroll tee, and some white sneakers. I also made sure to have indoor shoes for school. It wasn't a requirement but it felt respectful, even Yunho was impressed I had picked them up yesterday. I put my hair up in a high, tight ponytail. Grabbing my backpack with all my supplies and my laptop in it. Yunho and MJ were waiting for me. I asked where Seojun was.

"Ah. He had to go meet with Hyori before classes start today." MJ answered. "Come on. Yunho's driver is downstairs." We headed out and got into the black SUV. MJ had sat in front. Yunho and I were in the middle. We reached the school and got out. I asked where the main office was. Yunho took me there while MJ went to figure out where all his classrooms were. I thanked him for taking me and he nodded, walking off. I made my way in and said I had gotten an email to meet with the principal. The receptionist rang her and she was told to send me back.

"Go on back, kiddo. Her office is at the end of the hall." The receptionist hummed. I thanked her and gave a short bow before hurrying to the office. I knocked on the door before I could walk in.

"You may enter." The principal hummed. I opened the door, walked in, and closed it again. "Ah. Have a seat, Miss Johnson." She pulled something up on her computer. "I must say... For  someone who schooled in America... I am quite impressed by your marks... And you have all credits needed for graduation." I nodded happily. "So... Why not graduate early?" I made a face.

"Well... I honestly just wanted to take some fun classes since I focused everything on main courses in America." I answered. She hummed softly. "Like Astronomy. I was really excited to see that was an option." She smiled a little more.

"Well, Miss Johnson, you will fit right in here at KIS. I'm sure you will make us and your family proud." She said, smiling. She held her hand out to me and I shook it. "Come on. I'll take you around to your classrooms, in order... That way you know where to go." We headed out of the main office and she took me around to all of my classes like she said she would. "If you have any questions, feel free to come see me or email me." I nodded with a smile. "Very good. Okay. Have a good first day, miss Johnson." She walked off again, heading back to the office. I saw Seojun and Hyori walking as they held hands. Seojun spotted me and gave a subtle wave. I rolled my eyes and walked away.

I saw Yunho coming my way. We had agreed to be indifferent towards each other, out of his respect for Seojun as his best friend. Which... Okay. Yeah. It makes sense to me. As long as he doesn't change behind closed doors... I like to cuddle... And clearly... He does too. Yunho subtly touched my arm with his as he walked past. I smiled a little and headed for my first class before the bell could ring. I was given a seat by the teacher and I sat there. Watching other students flood into the room and receive their seating.

"Alright... As you all know each other from last year... Except one student... I'll start by having her introduce herself." The teacher mused. She gestured for me to stand, so I did. "Start with your name and tell us where you're from. And then one little fact about yourself."
