I took the paper out of my pocket and texted the number. A million emotions filled me as I didn't remember who this guy was. Does he even remember me? I thought to myself. Full of hesitation and anxiety about what will happen next, I sent a text, shut my phone, and kept on walking. "Ding!" The notification of a message.

have my number

*read*

I got to school and mom was right, maybe I did need help. It's huge and people filled the hallways, making it more challenging.

As I was making my way through the building, I bumped into someone unexpected. I fell down to the ground, my ass on the floor and hands at my sides. I looked up to see a guy with his friends, he looked like one of those kids.

"I don't remember seeing you here," he said, looking down at me.

"Oh, I'm new here! My name is y/n l/n. Sorry for bumping into you," I quickly replied, getting up.

"Y/n?"

"Yes, why?"

He turned around to whisper something to his friends. Then they left. It's just me and him, standing with a weird and awkward tension.

"You're the one who texted me this morning weren't you? I'm Choi Seungcheol."

I didn't seem to understand what he was trying to say, but then it hit me. He was Cheol. He looks so different from before, in a better way.

"Oh I see, are you Cheol?"

"Yes. Listen, I don't know why your mom gave you my number. Oh sorry that's the bell," he said in an annoyed tone as the bell rang.

"What? But-"

Then he left without me finishing. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. How rude, I thought.

I should have asked him to take me to class. This school is huge, with lockers, rooms, offices, and endless classrooms. I walked endlessly until I saw Seokmin, an old friend of mine as well. Seokmin is a junior: very tall, handsome, happy, and smart. He will help me for sure. I went up to him.

"OMG! Seokmin?! Hi!" I exclaimed with joy as I ran to hug him.

"Hey, y/n! It's been so long! How are you?" he replied smiling.

"Good. Are you headed to class too?" I asked while parting away.

"Yes, did you need me to take you?"

"Yes please, I'm lost and I don't want to be late on my first day," I admitted.

"Oh, haha," he chuckled. "Follow me."

"Thank you, Seok!" I replied before sighing in relief.

I followed him around campus as he kept yapping about high school. It felt like he was happy that I was here. I'm grateful for him, otherwise I would be late on my first day.

I got to my class with Seok's help and thanked him. I headed in and saw many faces and many groups of friends. I searched for an empty chair and sat there. As soon as I sat, the bell rang. I got lucky.

The teacher came in and the class was silenced. The teacher greeted everyone with a smile, "Good morning everyone. Since this is our first day, please introduce yourself."

I practiced my self-introduction silently, the tone needed to be natural and perfect so I wouldn't sound weird. As I thought to myself, I am weird for practicing. One after another, it was my turn.

"Hi! My name is y/n l/n," I stated.

"Well nice to meet you y/n. And since she's the last one, I'll introduce myself now. My name is Ms. Park, and I will be your science teacher for the rest of the year," Ms. Park said.

The class got quiet, very quiet, you can even hear the murmurs of other students. Ms. Park was getting her stuff and lessons ready when a boy ran into class.

"Sorry I'm late, I had to drop off my little brother," the boy apologized.

"Well, next be on time," Ms. Park replied.

"Yes, I promise. Sorry again."

"Before taking your seat, please introduce yourself," Ms. Park added.

"Sorry, my name is Lee Chan," Chan said with a smile before sitting next to me.

"Ringgggg!" The bell rang. I packed all of my belongings and started to head out. I was walking along the hallways full of people and lockers. As I was walking, I came across Seokmin.

"Hi, how was your day?" I asked him.

"Pretty good, are you heading home now?" He replied.

"Yes!"

"Oh get home safe, take care of yourself!" He said as he waved bye.

"Bye, take care too!" I said as I waved back at him.

"Ding!" A notification of a text.

eomma <3

y/n I need you to buy us some milk on
your way home.

ok eomma
*delivered*

I started walking to the closest convenience store to look for milk. I looked through the milk section and picked the one with the latest expiration date. Should I get some chocolates, I thought to myself. I headed to the chocolate section and picked out my and my mom's favorites, and some for seokmin. "I hope he likes these," I muttered under my breath. I bought the chocolates and the milk, and started heading home.
