I was walking to my locker when I realized that everyone was staring at me and whispering. What's going on? When I got to my locker the principal was there waiting for me. "Miss Kang, I need you to come to my office," He said. I knew that I wasn't in trouble because he said it in a sad yet calm tone.

"Your parents have passed away" said the principal "I'm really sorry for your loss" he continued. I was just sitting in the office, frozen. I saw them this morning and they seemed fine. Announcing that they were getting a divorce this morning and dying this afternoon was...not that bad. It's not like I'm an emo teen that hates my parents. I just think that it's the best thing that they can do for me, for themselves and for the people around them.

I thought that getting hit by my parents was normal until I was in high school. Bahyyih, my best friend, kept telling me that it wasn't okay to get hit by my parents but I just told her that It's the way that my parents show me that they loved me. I was wrong. I was just telling myself that so that I won't shatter to pieces. And he wasn't making it any better.

A couple of minutes later, the police came inside the office and took me to the hospital.

When I got there, my grandparents were already sitting in the waiting room. Thank god because I was wondering how to tell them.

5 years later

I was running to the gate with my 3 suitcases hoping that I'm not late. Just when I got to the gate, I saw Bahyyih waving at me. It's my junior year and yet I'm always late.

Just when I was about to enter the auditorium, I saw him. The last person that I wanted, NEEDED, to see. Ricky. I was glaring at him when he caught me in action.

He smirked and said "Hey roommate."

"Roommate? What are you talking about weirdo?"

Ricky, the person I hate most in this world ever since childhood. He was arrogant and annoying. We went to the same high school, middle school, and kindergarten all because our parents were best friends. When they passed away, they paid for my school fees. And yet, regardless their kindness, they gave birth to the worst human being that humankind has ever seen.

"Oh you still don't know" He said with a teasing tone. Then his best friend, Seunghan, came between me and Bayyih and put his arms on our shoulders. He looked at me and said "That's what you're going to be dealing with for the next year"

Bayyih scoffed "Are you both high?" She asked them.

Seunghan smiled and out a hand on his chin. "Highly debatable" he said. He then pushed me and Bayyih into the auditorium. I asked for my name and the teacher gave me a paper upside down. Before I could turn the paper, I saw a hand over it so that I couldn't turn it. I traced the hand and made eye contact with Ricky "Just so you know, I have the upper bunk."

I slapped his hand and finally turned the paper "Oh my god."

"Told you"said Seunghan

I looked at Seunghan and said "See you in hell my friend" then walked over to Bahyyih and looked at her in the eyes "I love you" I said hugging her

Seunghan and Bahyyih laughed. "Your being dramatic, it's not ganna be that bad" said Bahyyih"

"Oh no, it is" I said.

"Let me show you to your room, princess," said Ricky.

"Shut up, Ricky. And don't ever call me that again"

"My apologizes, princess."

Ughhh. This year is going to be a nightmare.
