Promise

I know the end

I barely got any sleep last night. I kept overthinking about how my day could go wrong in so many ways. I don't even have my schedule yet. I need to go to school earlier to pick it up. That's why I decided to wake up at 6am. Just to make sure, there's not way I can be late. I need 1hour to get ready. And my school way is about 20 minutes by bus. I'll be there around 7:30, class should be beginning at 8am.

First I'm washing my face with cold water, just to get rid of the puffiness from my face. After that I brush my teeth obviously. I use concealer to cover up my eyebags and some mini pimples I got due to stress, contour my nose, use mascara and apply my fav liptint. It should be good enough. I put on my new uniform, I'll just wear them with my adidas campus, if that's allowed obv. I let my hair open, I look kinda like a nerd when it's in a ponytail and I'm not skilled at doing hairstyles.

My mom is still asleep so I quietly make my breakfast, my phone rings
"Good luck at school today ;)" a text from seunghan.
"I don't need luck, but ty" I text back
I usually don't eat breakfast at all. Mostly because I wasn't allowed to but also because I don't have an appetite in the morning.
So I just eat some cereal.

After finishing my cereal I make my way out.
It's 7:08 now so I'm not too early but not late.

I make my way towards the bus station, according to google maps it's only 3 minutes away. It says the bus come every 8 minutes, which isn't too bad ngl. At my school back in Germany, my bus would come every 15minutes, even tho I lived in a big city.

As I wait for the bus to arrive, more people come. Some elderly people, some men in suits, some students my age and elementary kids.
Note to myself: take a bus earlier tomorrow!!
I also notice My stupid neighbour Han dongmin standing there with his eraphones. We make eye contact but he instantly acts like he didn't see me. Freak.

After a few minutes my bus finally arrived. Bus 505. Just like that song.
"It seems like once again, you've had to greet me with goodbye"
The bus was pretty much filled. I wonder how other people can even get in at this point.

The bus finally came to my schools bus stop. I figured I won't need google maps anymore, I'll just follow the students who walked through the huge entrance. As I got off I saw dongmin going to probably his group of friends. They walk together into the school building. That's it with asking him for directions to the school office I guess.

I walked into the building and just asked the next adult I saw.
Even tho the directions he told me were complicated, I somehow found it.
"Here's your time table and, which one would you prefer, art, theatre or singing?" The office lady asks
"I think... arts I guess" I'm not good at arts to be honest. But I wouldn't like to sing in front of the whole school or play a stupid act. As if I'm not doing it already
"Arts it is then!" She hands me my time table and I'm in class 1-4.
And my classroom is room number 202. According to the map in front of the office, the next girls toilet is miles away but at least the canteen is near it. I follow the classroom numbers till they go up. And 200 rooms later I finally arrive. Class has already begun, so I was really nervous locking on the door.
Without overthinking I knocked twice.
And the door opened

My hands were kinda shaky when my teacher told me to come inside
"You must be our new student right?" He asks and I nod
"You guys please welcome your new classmate Song Minji, I heard you were born in Germany right?" He turns to me "yes I moved here a few years ago" I explain to him
"Ahh that's nice, unfortunately you started coming here in the middle of the semester but right next to dongmin, in the last row, the guy who's sleeping, is still a seat" I nod and turn back to the class. Wait, dongmin??? I look over to him to make sure it's not the Han dongmin I despise. But to my luck it is.
I can literally feel my eye twitching as I walk through the aisle of table to the back. He really was sleeping. He didn't even notice me smacking my books on the table. Top student who?
