I walked into the bustling school with kids greeting one another. I smiled because the happiness filling the room was prominent. I found my class and sat inside waiting for the teacher to begin the class. I sat in the middle row and right next to the window. As I looked out the open window, the lovely spring breeze greeted my pale skin as a few birds flew by, all graceful with their blue feathers flying in the wind. A part of me wished to be like them, free. Instead I was confined to a school building and confined into the society of standards that the country contains. As much as I love my country a part me dreads the standards in which I have to maintain but I guess that's everywhere as well. I sighed thinking about the conversation I had with my mom about the report card in which I was given just last week and it turns out I had gotten a c in one of my classes. Yeah, I'm not the top of the class to which my mother wanted me to be, instead I'm in the middle, the top of the class actually belongs to none other than ji-eun, she is not only super smart, but very nice and very beautiful, she has it all. From long brown hair, to porcelain skin and double eyelids, etc. To say the least, in comparison to her, I feel very insecure. She is very tiny while I am not that tiny in fact I am actually really curvy, chubby and short, all the things she doesn't have. My mom says that it's okay and that I'm beautiful but sometimes I can't help but doubt it all. I continued to get lost in my thoughts until suddenly something slammed onto my desk. I looked up and it was none other than my best friends soyeon and rujin, in comparison to me, soyeon was also petite and short with blonde hair while rujin was the taller one out of all three of us and had medium length black hair and dimples that could charm anybody and she wasn't that petite compared to soyeon.
Soyeon:Yah! How come you didn't greet
us when you arrived, you know
how sad I was when you didn't
show-
Rujin: Yeah, we were so sad because we
thought you were missing a day
of school which is definitely not
like you.
I forgot I was supposed to meet them this morning, oops.
Me:Sorry guys, I completely forgot, it
won't happen again.
Rujin:Good
Soyeon: Oh, yeah, did you guys see the
news about the missing student?
It's so scary to think that weird
stuff has been occurring lately
especially to students like us,
what if one of us become the
next target to the mysterious
kidnapping?
Rujin:Oh please, you really need to get
your head out of the gutter and
think logically, those stuff have
been happening in Seoul, and we
live in Busan, so we are a hours
away, I highly doubt the culprit
will try to branch out of the city.
Plus, as long as we don't do stupid
stuff and don't get into dangerous
situations then there is nothing to
worry about, Right jiwoo?
Me:huh? Oh yeah, right....
I started to space out in the middle of their conversation as I replay what I saw on that news, as far as I know of, all the people who went missing were all high school students and to make it worse, it was people who were top of the class therefore they might be likely to not do as much stupid stuff and instead focus on their studies. Which stems the question as to why the culprit is being very specific about their targets. In fact the last places that the victims were seen at was indeed at school during the school day. Which makes me wonder if the culprit was in fact a high school student or could it be a teacher? I ponder that question for a little bit as soyeon and rujin continue arguing as usual. Just as I was about to say something the teacher walked in with a boy who was both handsome and scary at the same time. With jet black hair, pale skin, black eyes and with what appeared to be a small scar under his ear, something about him made me both interested and also on edge at the same time, who could he have possibly been? As the teacher stood there, we greeted the teacher before the class begun. The room became heavy with silence.
Teacher:Welcome class, today we have a
new student, please introduce
yourself.
??? :Hello, my name is kang seho, and it
is nice to meet you
He smiled and bowed, when he smiled, I saw he had cute little dimples, I smiled because it made him a little cute-wait, what am I saying, I should really focus. Anyway, seho finished the greeting and moved to sit in the back of the class in the same row as mine. As he walked by me, he glanced then smirked at me, I got the shivers all ng with goosebumps, something about him felt off and I was able to catch a glimpse of a potential tattoo under his shirt sleeve. I felt eyes on me and when I turned I realized it was seho. Just what exactly does he want? I turned back around and focused on what the teacher was saying as the class had finally begun.
After class had ended, everyone got up to get lunch, and soyeon and rujin left a little bit earlier than me to go get lunch while I decided to stay behind and catch up on my studies. After a little bit I felt eyes putting holes into my black, I turned quickly and caught a glance of the new student seho staring at me. Seriously, I wonder what his problem is? After a while I got up to go take a walk. As I was walking on the school grounds I got near a tree I always like to sit under. Just as I was about to leave I saw a shadow behind a tree, and me being myself went to go look but oh how much I regretted that decision because just as I got near the shadow had already disappeared and when I went to look there was nothing. I shrugged it off when all of a sudden something grabbed my arm and began to drag me soon all I saw was darkness...
