Let's Not Fall In Love

[Amethyst]

It's the first day of a new school year, over the time span that I was in Korea with my parents, I ended up meeting my biological mother and her husband who is Daesung's father. At first, I thought he was a nice guy but then I realized he disliked Daesung for his career choice, which made me hate him. I finished dressing, grabbed my bookbag and headed towards the bus stop. I saw Paris and London walking towards the bus stop as the bus pulled up. We all sat at the back where Charlie was.

"How was it meeting your brother, Daesung?" Paris asked.

"It was amazing, we actually talked and laughed like we've known each other forever." I said smiling.

"Do you have pictures?" London asked.

"Yes, here." I said pulling out my small photo album.

I watched as their faces lit up with excitement. Charlie handed the photo album back and I placed it in my bag.

"Your brother is handsome. I'm guessing the elderly man and woman is his father and your guys' mom?" London asked.

"Mhm. I dislike him because he dislikes Daesung due to his career choice." I said as we were getting off the bus at our school.

"Well, I think all of us will love to meet him and his friends honestly." Charlie said smiling.

We all scattered to our classes with just five minutes to spare before the bell rang. I sat in the back like usual when the teacher and some kid walked through the door. He was tall and slender with black hair and blue eyes.

"Okay class, this is Dylan O'Brien. He's a new student from Maine. Please make him feel welcomed. Dylan, you can go sit next to Amethyst. Amethyst will you raise your hand?" teacher said and I did.

I watched as Dylan walk over and sit at the desk next to me. I smiled and introduced myself.

"Hi Dylan, my name is Amethyst Lee." I said smiling.

"Unique name. Where are you from?" he asked.

"Here in Colorado. I'm half-Korean." I said.

"Really? So am I!" he said ecstatically. 

"Really? I wouldn't have thought." I said laughing.

"Same. Oh, teacher is looking, we better get working." he said smiling.

Time fly by pretty quickly and now it was lunch time.

"Dylan, follow me." I said as Dylan followed me.

"Is this the lunch room?" he asked.

"Yes. Just follow what I do and you'll have food." I said as we walked into line.

After we got our food, I found my friends and walked over to them with Dylan following.

"Guys, this is Dylan. Dylan this is Paris, London, Kimberly, Charlie and Ryan. Paris and Charlie are a couple, so is London and Ryan. Kimberly and I are the only ones in the group who are single... Are you single or taken?" I asked.

"Single." he said smiling.

"Well, three singles and two couples." Kimberly said laughing.

As the school day went on, we all decided to meet for dinner, thankfully my father was nice enough to pay for our dinner and be our chauffeur for the night. We learned a lot about Dylan. His mother is American and his father is Korean. He has two siblings, the older one lives in Korea and the younger one attends the same high school, he was also with us tonight. His name is Jaesung. 

Now, I'm back home and getting ready for bed, see ya!
