Amelia

Mr. Bloom walked in to the classroom with the cheerful act of his. Ah...it was English now. Great, now I have a chance to doze off....

"Amelia Anderson!"

Huh? Why was dad using my full English name so early in the morning?

"Amelia Anderson!"

Again? Was the house on fire on something?

"Miss Anderson!"

I flung my eyes open only to meet 30 pairs of eyes on me. Oh no. Not again.

"I see that you are awake now. Care to explain to us the definition of this word?" he said as he pointed to something written on the board.

Procastination. Easy.

"This means to hold back or do something at the very last minute" I answered with ease. Mr. Bloom gave me a very annoyed look.

"You are correct but please try to refrain yourself from dozing off in my class, and meet me after class Amelia."

"Yes Mr. Bloom..."I answered unwillingly.

Why are teachers always so boring and annoying? It wouldn't hurt for them to try to understand us students and be in our shoes for once. Don't they have their interesting lives too?

Jae Eun turned back to face me and mouthed "Pabo". I gave her a glare but she had already turned back to the front. Ish, that girl. I decided to pay attention to the lesson, just to avoid any other troubles.

Time passed by slowly and we finally made it to break time. My stomach was growling like some angry tiger. I signalled Jeanele and Jae Eun to head for the cafeteria. We made a run for it and raced all the way there.

The queues were slowly getting longer and longer. The three of us eyed the galbitang stall. We exchanged competetive looks and fought for the spot at the back of the line. You can judge us and everything because I admit we have to mentality of 6 year olds and not 16 year olds. But who cares? We're still young and you gotta live life. At least that's what I've been told by my dad whose always envious of our young spirits. Sometimes I think that adults have very sad lives.

The three of us were neck to neck but I managed to sprint faster at the last second and got to the spot first. That was then I regretted everything as I saw the other two idiots crashing towards me.

Before I knew it, they did. But thing is, it caused me to fall and accidentally push the person in front of me. I made contact with the cold floor and laid there speechless.

Falling to the ground in front of everyone was one thing, but looking at a furious and annoyed face was on a whole new level. I wouldn't have minded and laughed it off if it were someone, else but this one just seemed to pierce through me, completely.

He gave me such a cold glare that I thought I would turn to ice and be frozen in time. He started walking towards me and shut my eyes for the punishment coming...

Jun Ho

Ugh, school again. Why is it that even if you do well in school, you must still attend for the boring 'lectures' there. Nevertheless, I still got myself up for school, because if I didn't I would get an ear from my parents instead.

I checked my phone. 6.45 am. I still have time. Might as well stop by Starbucks for a drink. And maybe a sandwich from the convenience store.

And that's how I started my morning. It didn't take long for me to reach the cafe as it was only a few blocks away from where I lived.

I ordered my cappuccino and sat down on an empty table. I checked the time again. Only 7.15? I was thinking of a way to pass the time by when someone familiar entered through the door.

Wait, isn't that Amelia?

Lol. Didn't expect to see her here. I guess she likes this place too.

I saw her enter and leave urgently with her drink in hand. Why was she in such a rush?

I checked to time again just to be sure I wasn't late. It was only about 7.20 am. I finally decided to get up and grab an egg and mayo with cheese sandwich.

I swallowed it down and walked to the roadside to hail down a cab. I never take the bus. Never. It was always so crowded and suffocated. I guess you can say I'm slightly claustrophobic. Ok maybe a lot. But hey, nobody's perfect right?

Thanks to the convenience of travelling in a cab, I reached school at about 7.50.

Great. Now there's no way out of here.

I dragged myself to the classroom and sat down in the uncomfortable chair.

Come on Jun Ho, it's only a few hours and you can go home.

I try very hard to think positive, most of the time. Mr. Bloom walked in after a few minutes.

Ah...so it's English now. I was quite good in this subject but I had my ears open, just in case.

What? I'm not a nerd. I just don't wanna end up regretting later on.

Mr. Bloom was in the middle of his lessons when his eyes darted towards something. Everyone turned towards where he was looking.

Amelia. That stupid girl had her head on the table with eyes shut and mind in dreamland. I guess even caffeine can't stop you from sleeping in boring classes.

"Amelia Anderson!" Mr. Bloom called out her full name, which he had to do so for twice more. I don't get it. This only happens when she's in Mr. Bloom's class. We barely hear her name in other classes.

He asked her for the meaning of 'procastination'. It was kinda easy, and an American like her would have definitely gotten that correct. And of course she did and the lesson continued on.

Time passed and it was eventually break time.

Finally. I was really hungry.

I rushed for the galbitang store as I was really craving it right now. I stood in the line but I felt kinda lonely.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a loner. It's just that my one and only friend was not here today. Where was Taehyung anyway?

I pulled out my phone and was about to send a text to him but I was interrupted. I felt somebody push me from behind and my phone slipped from my hands and landed onto the hard ground.

I really hated this.

My phone is so precious to me and I always took special care of it, so much that I would rarely, really rarely drop it. So when it did I got really pissed off. I wanted to scream at the retard who pushed me.

I turned around and stomped towards her... "
