I walk in between Joshua and Mingyu across the halls as they were talking across and above me.

I hate being short.

And as we walked to the cafeteria, a group of girls rushed from their lockers and towards Joshua. We immediately stopped in our tracks as we watch Joshua get engulfed by the girls.

Needless to say, I was pretty shocked. My mouth was agape as I watched Joshua get gifts and notebooks shoved into his face, the fangirls trying to get his attention and his autograph.

"Wow Joshua hyung is popular here too." Mingyu blurted out.
"What do you mean by 'too'? Was he popular in his previous school?" I asked.
"Yeah." Mingyu replied as Joshua walked back to us as he waved the group of fangirls goodbye.
"Great start to school huh. Getting mobbed by fangirls once again." Mingyu said. Joshua just shrugged his shoulders and proceeded to the cafeteria.

"What are you ordering Sarang? I heard the Japanese stall is the best." Joshua asked.

I stared at the menu. This is the first time I've ever seen the menu of a school so big. There's like almost everything here.

"Umm I think I'll just get what you're getting Joshua." I replied, still amazed by the menu. We took our places at the end of the queue and waited. Good thing lunch time here is 1 hour, or else I'll never be able to eat with the queuing taking like half the time from the fact that this school's intake is huge.

"So Joshua, how are you so popular? I mean it's only the first day and you're being overwhelmed by fangirls already." I asked.
"Well, Mingyu is actually popular too. Well we kinda are in a small group and we post covers of us singing, dancing and rapping on YouTube. I guess because I'm a little more active on the channel that's why I'm more popular haha." Joshua said, scratching the back of his head.
"Oh. So where are your other members?" I asked.
"Let's just say they're here too."

I set my tray down awkwardly onto the table and sat down in between Joshua and Mingyu. When Joshua said a small group, I was thinking 3 to 4 members. But in reality, his group has 13 members, occupying 2 long tables at the cafeteria. When I sat down, I made eye contact with a pink haired guy who smiled at me brightly with his kitten lips.

"Sarang, this is the group that I was talking about. This is Seungcheol, Jeonghan, Lee Chan, Soonyoung, Minghao, Junhui, Seokmin, Wonwoo, Hansol, Seungkwan and Jihoon." Mingyu said pointing to each boy as he list out all the names and finally ending while pointing to a cute boy with pinkish hair.
"Don't worry you'll eventually remember our names." The guy sitting opposite of me, or Soonyoung as Mingyu introduced, said.

"You said it was a small group." I leaned towards Joshua who was on my left and whispered into his ear.
"It's not?" He whispered, showing me a confused face.
"It's definitely not." I whispered back.

After I ate finish my meal, I excused myself from Mingyu and his friends and headed out to the garden. I remembered this place from the tour Minwoo brought me on during the exhibition.

I giggled a little when I remembered how he danced for me. I made my way through the garden to the small pavilion in the middle of the garden. I walked up the steps and took a deep breath.

It was only the first day in TMAA and I feel so different already. New curriculum, new friends, and more importantly, a longer break time. I smiled to myself as I looked across to admire the maze garden that is up ahead of the pavilion.

"Seems like your having fun here." A voice said.

I turned around to see Minwoo behind me, with his hands in his pockets at the bottom of the steps of the pavilion.

"Oh Minwoo. When did you get here? Shouldn't you be in class?" I asked, dusting off my skirt a little.
"I get to leave whenever I want. Don't worry I'm not missing any lessons. I'm just out here for a break." He replied, climbing up the stairs and making his way next to me.

We both gazed at the maze garden on silence, listening to the peaceful ruffling of leaves.

"So, how's your first day at school TMAA? Different or the similar to your old neighbourhood school." Minwoo asked.
"Definitely different. Practically everything is different. I'm still trying to get used to it though." I replied.
"Don't worry about fitting in too much. Just be yourself. That's what TMAA is all about. 'Discovering the talented you'. Besides, you don't have to fit in. Just make a few friends and you're good." He said.

I paused for a minute. Contemplating on whether I should ask him about my biggest fear or not.

"What's wrong? Just ask if you have a question." He said, looking at me with a concerned face.
"Wh-what about bullies. Will I be bullied? And what will happen if I get bullied." I asked, looking down at my black sneakers.
"Well, there are definitely bullies. You might be bullied. That all depends on how well the bully likes you. And don't worry about bullies. I'll handle them for you."
