Chapter One

MAYA

I push open the class door and walk inside. I stand there with my head bowed only, while everyone stares at me. Why are they staring? I know I came from another country but still I look asian enough for them to think me as one of their own.

Then a burst of laughters interrupts my thoughts. What's going on? Why are they all laughing now? I look up and see them pointing at me. I look at myself, bowing my head again. Looking at what everyone is pointing at. I am still in my pajamas! I have forgot to put on my skirt because I was so nervous to go to school and I came wearing pajamas!

What the hell!

I look up again at my fellow students; all laughing their heads off. I run out of the class and begin my screaming!

"NO! NO! Noooooo!" and I crash! "OUCH!"

I wake up with a headache as my skull was still in contact with the floor. Just a nightmare! Phew! I rub my head to cease the pain but wasn't really successful. I get up and look at my bedside table clock. 6:30 am. I still have plenty of time before my school starts.

My first day at school in a foreign country. Yes, this is my first time out of my country and that too on permanent basis. It was not my wish to leave my country, which by the way was Pakistan, and come all the way to Korea.

I'm not a Korean but I do look asian, as my mom and dad were from Malaysia. My dad works in this stupid company that creates beauty products. Dad never brought those stuff home even if they are given as gifts. He says these are all chemically made and damages your skin in the long term. Anyway, this year, Dad's company opened another branch in Korea. Saying it's the next big place to exploit all customers and earn some profit. Hence my Dad got the job of Head director at that company, but only if he moves to Korea.

So, here we are, in Korea. In the middle of school year too. I am transfer-ed to the school for richest in Korea. Name that I really can't pronounce. And I got in. Oh, that's not because we are rich. No oh. We are nowhere near rich! Although, we are well off but still, I heard that the school has people from the richest families all over Korea. Kids that grow up and inherit their Dad's businesses. But the question is, how the hell did I get in? Well, I'm studying on scholarship. People who study there are just wasting money to get into the best ranking College of Korea. I bet they don't even study considering they all have a settled future. Lucky them. Though I still have to work/study my ass off just so I can maintain my scholarship. If I'm moving to Korea, I at least need to graduate from a popular school.

Okay, for now, I think this introduction is enough! I need to get ready for school. Gotta keep my strength in check to face all those rich brats! I'm so doomed! If only my parents have put me in some normal school so i would have been able to face them. In my former school, which was a boarding school for girls, there they would not let anyone bully. Was a pretty strict school but still you were safe there. But listening to all rumours and television dramas, I bet, Korean kids will give me a hell of bad time!

I look at my closest, everything seems dull and beggar like to me. This was all because I was being conscious of being targeted as a poor one! I so hope this does not happens! I am good with words and am learning, but Fashion is not my field of interest! I need new clothes but for now I only have to wear my school uniform. I take out my neatly ironed uniform. A skirt with maroon and white check, with a white shirt and a maroon tie. I wore my maroon sneakers with it. Matching with the uniform concept. I let my brown hair go loose as I was too tired to make any hairstyles. Thank God, I have natural straight hair or my loose hair could have looked like a bird nest. Applying my neutral lip gloss and viola! I am ready.

I look at the time again and it says 07 : 15 am. I need to go fast! I grab my backpack and run downstairs to kitchen. Mom is already up and cooking. She made me an omelet just the way I like it!

"Good Morning, Maya!" Mom smiles as I kiss her cheek.

"I have to go now, I'll eat on my way to school." I say. " Don't wanna be late on my first day!"

"Good luck, honey!" She hugs me as I put my breakfast in the brown bag.

"Thanks, Mom! See ya! Tell Dad I love him! Bye!"

I grab my breakfast as I run out of the front door to the bus station. Another thing that indicates I'm poor. All rich people will have their own cars and I'll take a bus and then walk all the way to my campus.

I finish eating my breakfast in the bus and get off at my destination, checking my iPhone for my school's location again and again, hoping I don't get lost. As I walk few steps futher I didn't worry about getting lost. Even from the distance I can see my school. It was so big that my jaw dropped, again. Before that, it happened when I visited the school for admission. I walk towards my campus on one side as cars swept by me. No one even offered me a lift.

I kick a stone, that was lying on the ground, and it hit the car that just swept by. I duck, thinking the stone might bounce back. The car stops and so does my heart!

"Shit!" I swear under my breath.

The door to the driver's seat opens and an average aged man comes out. He walkes swiftly towards the backseat door to the other side and opens it. The next thing I know, I'm put into a trance by a boy about my age; though terribly handsome, stepping out of the car. He has his hands inside his pants' pockets and he is looking at me!

OMG! He's looking at ME! ME! I can die right now, here! This angel is looking at me. I must have saved a country in my past life that I am rewarded with something like this. Okay, I'm being crazy and obsessive right now!

He's waving towards me now! What? Why is he waving?

I raise my hand automatically and wave back. His hands shot back down and he starts walking towards me! I'm so blessed!
