CHAPTER 1
Miss Korea meets Rude jerk.
KIM JI AH's P.O.V
" Trust me honey, you are gonna do great and make lot of friends, remember Sun hae is going to be there with you", Mom said and passed me my bowl of Ramyeon.
" Gomawo", I muttered in Hangul and picked my food. The thought of going to a new school in a new country is really overwhelming and one would probably wonder why I wasn't excited, that will probably be because I didn't like the country nor the school. I never wanted to be here in the first place.
I am from South Korea and also a citizen of the United States of America. My Mom was an American tourist in Korea when she met my dad, what they had wasn't love at first sight but full blown lust since the one time they actually slept together, it was so hot that a bun entered the oven... which is obviously me "Kim JI ah".
My Mom only found out she was pregnancy when she returned to America and kept it a secret from my Dad until I was four years old when it became hard to remain a single mother in her country, hence Dad was contacted and on hearing about my existence, he flew immediately to America, bundled me off to Korea where I had remained ever since then.. (Note that my Dad told me this story, so it is definitely true)
My Dad unfortunately decided to sleep on after a tough illness, he was laid to rest a few weeks ago, since I was legally underage, Mom was contacted and once again, I was bundled but this time back to America.
You are probably wondering who Sun hae is right?
Well, she's my best friend which happens to be a dog..yeah I know right .. she will be attending school with me. Mom said new students were allowed to bring their emotional support pet on their first day at my new school as long as you don't bring a crazy wild animal.
I probably haven't mentioned my age, you are going to find out later Or not....lol.
"Angel, you haven't eaten anything" I heard mom say. Angel was the name she gave me, but don't call me that, stick to Ji ah.
"I'm not hungry"
" Don't tell me that.... I took out time to learn a Ramen recipe and you won't even have a taste of it? Not cool" she made a pouty face as though she was going to cry, I know she was just being dramatic, Ramen might actually be the simplest Korean dish. Mom knew I missed Dad and Korea so much so ever since I got here, she has been going crazy trying to transfer Korean cultures here to make me feel welcome, she decorated my room with BTS and park Seung Jo's pictures, I was a fan of Seung Jo and she probably knew that because of my phone's wallpaper. But as for BTS, I don't know who gave her the idea that every Korean girl was obsessed with the dreamy musicians.
Did I forget to mention that Mom was already married? She is actually five months pregnant and also has a step daughter who is around my age.
Don't get me started about Mom's step daughter, she's a perfect reference for the word "WITCH". She's a bit taller than me, and very pretty, I mean American pretty with blonde hair. But then, she hates me and I hate her too. Her hatred intensified when she heard I was going to attend her lame school.
" I'm off to school" little witch announced walking down the stairs....-you speak of the devil and she appears-..
"Aren't you going to have breakfast?" Mom asked her.
"Not hungry" and with that, she was out the door.
"I think I should be going as well" I said and stood up, pushing my chair back.
"You haven't touched your meal"
" Mom in Korea, eating on your first day at a new school brings bad luck" I lied and picked up my school bag.
Mom laughed, she knew I was lying...
"Just hang on a minute, let me get my coat so I can drop you off"
I rolled my eyes... how awkward would that be? Adding awkwardness to my 'un-excitement' would only make things complicated.
"Mom there's really no need for that, you have filled the paperwork, they have my details and I can find my way" I forced a smile "Najung-e bwayo" I then left the house and went outside, little witch had already gone since she had a car, typical American teenager, I had a bike though with a basket at the front for Sun hae.
Speaking of Sun hae, where is she? I brought out a dog whistle from my bag pack and blew it, few seconds later, Sun hae ran out the front door.
" There you are girl" I picked her up, kissed her furry skin, then placed her in her basket and then turned on my GPS so I could locate my school.... 'PEACHES HIGH SCHOOL'
