Oceans Apart

Meeting the crew

CHEN/JONGDAE POV

(Normal Korean Bold English because there in Korea.)

First day at my new school in Seoul South Korea. I run out of the door with my toast in my mouth hoping not to be late for my first day at SM High. I look down at my watch.

"Eight forty dammit I'm gonna be late on the first day, I guess I'm still not used to the time difference." I say to myself letting out a slight chuckle at how silly I sound talking to myself.

Once I got to school I was greeted at the gate by a teacher. " You must be the teacher here to show me around the school." I say. "And you are late." The teacher says in reply. "Ok first of all I have-" "I know, your name is Kim Jongdae. You are the new student from America." The teacher cuts me off and starts walking so I follow him. 

We get to a door that says 'Principal's office' The teacher opens the door and we both walk in to be met by a middle aged man. "Please sit down, My name is Kim Lee Soo Man but you will address me as Mr Lee, the teacher you came in with is Mr Min." I shake his hand and bow then sit down. "Welcome to SM High, I hope you enjoy your time here. Here is your timetable and luckily for you your first class is with Mr Min here. The person who will show you around the school has the same timetable and his name is Byun Baekhyun. Again I hope you enjoy your stay." Lee Soo Man says we both bow and Mr Min shows me to class.

"Everyone this is Kim Jongdae a new student." Mr Min says as I walk through the door. "Annyeonghaseyo, My name is Kim Jongdae but feel free to call me Chen." I say and bow. "Baekhyun please raise your hand." As Mr Kim says this a puppy like boy at the back raises his hand. "Jongdae you can sit next to Baekhyun ok." Mr Min says with a big smile and I walk to the back of the class and take my seat next the puppy like boy and a giant elf looking person. then class starts.

"Hey Chen." Says baekhyun. "Hey, can I ask you a question?" I ask. "Sure, shoot." Baekhyun replies. "Who is the elf looking guy next to me and can I call you Baek?" I ask. "The elf next to you is Chanyeol, I'll introduce you to the rest of the crew at lunch, as for calling me Baek sure it's probably easier for you to say since you come from America and all, also you speak really good Korean for an American." Baekhyun says poking my forehead. "Yah, I'm Korean pabo, I just moved to America when I was five but I am fully Korean 100%." I spit back. "Ok Ok, fine, hey you know what you remind me of." Baekhyun says putting his fingertips together staring at me intensely. "What a Dinosaur." I say. "I get that a lot." "Yeah, also ramyeon. your hair is like ramyeon." He says reaching for my hair but I slap is hand away. "Never touch my hair." I say with a death glare.

*DING DING DING* 

"Lunch has finally come, I'm so hungry." Chanyeol says. "Hey Chen, wanna hang out with Baekhyunnie and myself?" "Sure, and what is the crew Baek was talking about?" I ask. "He's probably talking talking about the other ten of us." Chanyeol says shrugging. "What! there are ten more of you people that I have to meet?!" I almost yell. "Yeah, there not all in the same year as us." He says calmly shrugging it off.

once we get outside with Baek, Chanyeol and an owl like boy with heart shaped lips. "Guys who are here, this is Jongdae or Chen. Chen this is the gang or well most of it." Chanyeol says sitting down at the table and I sit next to him and a very sexy tan guy. "Hey Chen, my name is Jongin but you can call me Kai, this one next to me is Kyungsoo and across from you is Suho" Says kai shaking my hand. "OK, so who are these people coming over here now?" I ask following the small group of boys with my eyes. "That's the rest of us I guess." Suho says getting up and walking over to one of the boys and hugging them. "Chen, this is Yixing or Lay who is my boyfriend and is Chinese, LuHan who is also chinese same with Zitao or Tao and Wu Yifan also known as Kris, Kevin, Ben Ben, Galaxy and the list goes on forever." "There is also Sehun and Xiumin."Kai adds. As I look over to the other two Kai mentioned I see a chubby chipmunk like boy. "So Chen you come from America right." Says Sehun drinking his chocolate bubble tea. "Yeah what is it like?" Luhan adds. "I guess it's not that different from here, obviously the language is different and the food is way different." I say. "Hey, I come from Canada but the language is no different." Say Kris. "How many Languages do you know?!" I ask surprised. "I know English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Korean." He shrugs. "Hey no fair I we don't speak Hamberger stop before we all get headaches." Baekhyun sasses. "You've been really quiet lately Xiumin whats wrong?" Suho asks Xiumin and he jumps a little. "Oh, nothing Just thinking." He says in a daze. "Ok, you can tell us anything you know, if you have a problem or anything." Lay says patting Xiumin's back. "No, it's all good." Xiumin says and everyone goes back to their conversation and I see Xiumin quietly slip away but I don't say anything.

*DING DING DING*

Back to class. I hope Xiumin is ok. The lesson goes by fast and before I know it it's time to go home. "Hey Chen, wanna walk home?" asks Kai and ask him. "What way do you go?" Kai points out of the gate and to the right. "Well, at least we go the same way." I say and we start to walk. I feel my Phone vibrate in my pocket while Kai and I are talking. "Hey who is that?" Kai asks trying to look at me phone. "My friends." I say trying to hide my phone, but Kai eventually gets hold of it. "Hey, I can't read this it's all in english." He pouts handing my phone back. "Obviously it's in english, it's from my friends in America. Hey we should take a photo and send it to them to show I am having fun." I suggest. We take a quick photo and send it to them on a group chat. "What are the Names of your American friends?" Kai asks. "Well you have Amber, the first time I saw her I thought she was a boy." I say getting a photo on my phone of her. "Are you sure she is a girl?" He asks giving me a are you sure face. I laugh and tell him. "Yes, she is a girl her name is Amber Liu. I met her at the airport and funny enough we lived like two houses way, She also introduced me to all of her friends. She was the one who helped me learn English fluently." "She sounds nice, also I think you and Kris will ace the English classes." He laughs. "Where do you live anyway?" I ask him. "Oh yeah, I live right next to number 21 on this street. So between 21 and the dance studio, because my parents own it. Hey, maybe I could teach you how to dance sometime." He says pointing towards the dance studio. "Hey, that sounds good, also I live at number 21 so I guess we are neighbours." I say slighting laughing at the thought of us being neighbours even though we just met today. "Hey, I guess we can walk to school together is you don't decide to sleep in again, also we will need to pick up Xiumin on the way ,because i usually walk to and from school with but he had some important business at school so he is walking later. Well I'll see you tomorrow morning, bye Chen." Kai says waving as I get to my front door.
