Dad : Good morning sweetie! I've already left for work. Breakfast's on the table and good luck on your first day at school!

6.33AM
Dad : Your car keys are beside your breakfast btw!

First day of school. Great.

As I walked through the school foyer, I literally felt that all eyes were staring at me. Oh gosh.

Suddenly, out came a girl, who looked slightly older and with a badge on her blazer stating "councillor" and she asked,

"Hello, I'm Jaekyung. Do you need any help to get to your classroom?"

"Hello, yes please."

"Alright, follow me! And what's your name and where do you come from?"

"I'm Kendall and I'm from Essex, UK."

"Nice! Anyway, welcome to Seoul. It must be a long way from home."

"Yea."

After a few minutes of walking,

"And we're here. Here's a map for you, in case you're lost."

"Oh wow, Thanks!"

"Have a great day! Bye!"

Once I reached the classroom, the teacher invited me in and introduced me to the class and assigned me to sit beside a guy who looked like a total arrogant f*ckboy.

Great. What a great way to kickstart the first day of school by sitting beside a jerk.

*2 minutes before recess.*

"Pssst."

"Ignore it, Kendall. Ignore it." My inner voice told me.

"PSSSSSSST."

*RIIIIIIIIING*

As soon as the recess bell rang, I got up wanting to quickly exit the classroom but only to be stopped by the one and only.

"Why did you ignore me, Kendall?"

A wave of apprenhension ripples down my spine as his voice echos in my head.

"N-no, I d-didn't!" I tried replying in a firm voice but obviously I failed miserably.

"Oh dear Kendall, you sure did. And what do you say to spending the first of school's lunch with me?"

Before I could even reply, he dragged me out of the classroom with many pairs of envious eyes staring at the me.

"So, we're here. We have a variety of choices from — western, japanese, korean, chinese but the best has to be the korean cuisine. It's fab, duh. What do you wanna have?"

"Korean...?"

"Oh yes, you definitely have great taste like me. Let's go!"

After we settled down the the food,

"Erm, what's your name?"

"Oh yes! Self-introduction! I'm Jackson. And if you're wondering if I have a thing for you, I don't. I'm actually gay so don't worry." He laughed.

"Oh wow, that's a lot of info for someone whom you've just met for less than a day."

Within the 45 minutes of chat, he made me feel that I've known him years ago. We talked about basically everything — past relationships, make-ups, family, hobbies, scars.

As we head back to the classroom, I felt that I needed the washroom so I told him to head back first.

When I came out from the washroom, there were a group of 4 boys leaning against the row of lockers staring at me while I pretended not to notice.

Then, I brisk walked back to class when I realise they were following me. Afterwards, one of them grabbed my arm and spun me around till my head landed on his muscular chest with his hands firmly on my back.

WHAT A FIRM CHEST.

As I came to my senses, I attempted to break free from him but he wouldn't budge.

"Hey." He whispered.
