Prologue: Standing 서 있는


Min Chi

  I opened the door. I saw so many students rushing and hurrying to go to their classes on time. I was so late because my parents were fighting again. They always fight every morning and it worries me that one day they'll just break up and leave me. This problem that I have, influenced me in school. I don't have any friends, 'cause they think I'm anti social. They think I'm a freak because of my appearance, also.


  Why do people have to be so judgmental? They'll say something bad to you without even knowing you. 


  Sometimes, I think that this world is infected with bad seeds. They are invading the world! Once the bad seed grow they'll have another bad seed and it can't be stop. So, the good seeds are always the ones who'll find a way. They are always the ones who'll be bad. They are always the ones who are judged. So, why change the world if you yourself can't change who you are?


  I was running to my classroom hoping that I'll get there on time. When I saw my History class, I opened the door. I saw our teacher writing on the chalk board. Once she heard my approach, she stopped writing. Gosh, she looked like, as if, she was a character in Insidious. Not, of course, that it mattered.


  I gulp. "Uhh.. My.. Uh.. M-my" I stuttered but someone interrupted me with a loud sigh. I glance at them, embarrassed without turning my head to their direction. I look down and bit my lip. The teacher approached me and raised her hand as if she was waiting for something that I'll give to her. I stared at her hand confused. Wait.. No..


  "Where's your project Ms. Kim?" she asked me raising her right eyebrow. Shocked, I look at her raising my head. "I-I f-forgot it." I said nervously. I think it came out more like a lie rather than the truth. The teacher didn't believe me. So she made me stand at the hallway.


  Great.


  How am I supposed to just wait here and be quiet whilst they're studying and learning something? I can't have a in History. One is enough. And that's completely understandable because it's Mathematics. Seriously, how can you have an A in Math? My best friend in the Philippines is quite great in Math so she taught me.. or tried to teach me Math but, of course, I didn't understand her so I always disconnect when she's making a problem to make me solve it. Yeah, I don't know what kind of friendship we have but I think it's really a twisted friendship. Not that it mattered.


  Well, as they said, regrets are at the end of the last chapter. Because now I'm bored, with nothing else to do rather than standing here.


  I was about to peek at the front door glass but then someone blocked it. Of course, it had to be the teacher. And I think she's bringing me a friend to play with. Not what you're thinking of, though. 


  I press my lips into a thin line. I'm so in big trouble. When the teacher opened the door, I saw her expression. She didn't look happy. Wait, I think it's her normal face. Well, if you were me you would be confused too because all of her facial expressions are the same. Just like Kristen Stewart.


  A boy was beside her. I know this boy from Chemistry. All the girls wanted to be his lab partner 'cause (they think) he's handsome and cute [me: *cough* *cough*]. Well, I don't want to be that harsh so I think he is kinda cute. I don't know if he has a great personality but he's quite popular and has a lot of friends so I think he is. And he's not doing anything bad to us. The Outcast. So I think he is good.


  I stand still, bowing at the teacher and the boy. "No peeking at the glass door." the teacher said and made the boy stand beside me. He look at me and smiled. There are a lot of smiles in this world. But do you know the smile that hides a laugh in it? Well, he's doing it right now. 

 
  I smiled back hiding it from the teacher. "You two, you are extremely irresponsible for your actions, stand there!" the teacher commanded us. How cruel. But I did it anyway. We stood at the end of the hallway. When the teacher went inside we look at each other. Trying to find a clue on how we end up here but it seems like we're having a difficult time so we asked each other.


  "Forgot my project." I stated. He nodded and smiled. Now it's his time to answer. "Broke a glass window." He said casually. And so, indeed, my conscience are right. He is a bad boy. Ididn't talk nor speak after that 'cause if you're friends with a bad person he/she may influence you and you, of course,don't want to be bad right? So stay away. If you don't want you can speak to him/her. But in my situation it's better not to speak.


  He must have sensed my inner thoughts so he blurted out, "It was just an accident. I was playing basketball." He exclaimed. I didn't speak. I was to busy thinking if I'm going to believe him, but since I just met him, might as well give him a chance. So, I nodded smiling, as if, I made fun of him. He notice my face and blushed.


  "What's your name?" He asked. See? This is a proof that I'm not popular. I look at him. "I'm sorry if I don't know your name. Don't worry I know your face." he paused, realizing his statement. His statement is either weird or creepy. He panicked. Aww. Kyeopta! I thought and made a poker face. "No, I don't mean that way. I-I.. Uhh.. I know who you are but I don't know your name." he said to me. I think he made it even more confusing. He was so embarrassed, he looked away cursing something to himself. Even if I only see his side view, he's surprisingly handsome and cute at the same time. Hey, I have to admit it but that doesn't mean that I like him.


  This boy, is the only person who made me laugh out loud. "So, you know me but not my name? That was some legit explanation." I complimented him which made him laugh. I chuckled and shook my head. "Yeah, I get you. I'm Min Chi. Kim Min Chi 김 민 치." I introduced myself formally.


  He nodded and smiled. "I'm Baekhyun. Byun Baekhyun 변백현. Sorry if you find me weird. And about not knowing your name, no offense, kay?" he said extending a hand for me to shake. "None taken." I respond sincerely and gladly shook his hand.

  Hey! Normally, if I started a story the first page will be the prologue and I know this prologue is short. I'm not gonna promise anything like 'the next chapter will be long' or something like that. Because Christmas break is about to end. And my sister's using the computer so I can't update until... Saturday? I think? But I'm not sure if I can update this Saturday.


   P.S: I'm so sorry if I made any grammatical error. If you have any suggestions or questions you can comment it.
