Life With The KIMS

CHEAPTER 3

HOBI POV
I was excited for the new school. I just didnt belive im gonna be in grade 1.
After appa dropped me at the school, i wanted to make friends. I walked to my new classroom . I saw new faces.
Papa said to make first impressin is important, so i tried to smile and be friendly to everyone.
The teacher walked in and told be me to introduce myself. So i stood up infront of the class " annyeonghaseyo,  my name is kim haseok but you are to call me hobi..." " it seems like kim horse " a boy intrupted me and everyone started to laugh at me.
I felt bad and emberessed. "Look the horse is gonna cry" another person spoke. " neigh neigh.." everyone started to make horse sound. The teacher shushed them and told me to find a sit .
I cry alittle but i dint want anyone to see me.

During recess, i was on a swing but suddenly i felt a push and fell on ground. I cutted myself on my hand and felt blood. I turned around to see who did it. It was the same boy at the class. I stood up and walked away. Papa says fight is not a best solution to a problem.

Appa saw my scare when i was cleaning up. I wanted to tell him so bad what happend today but tae chim and kookie bugged in making appa concentrate more on them. So i just lied.

It has been happend like this for a while until that day.
I was at the playground when that boy came infront of me with his friends. I wanted to ran away but they pinned me down they started to beat me . I escaped when i heard the recesa bell ring.
I tried to tell the teacher but they were so busy organising the student back to class.

When i got back i hurried quickly to my room. I took a pencil and a paper and started to write. Since nobody was there to listen i taught myself a habbit of writting my sorrows on a peace of paper and hide under the loose cardboard in my room.

Dear.....
They did it again. Im tired for what they are doing. I wanna make friends but everyone thinks im too ugly or stupid to hangout with them.
Im i ugly? Why do they call me horse and making horse sound when i pass beside them. They even my desk at the back of the class far away from them. They im i hev disease that i can effect them.
I dont wanna be that no more. Please help me please.

I close the letter carrfully and wrote at the front. "DONT READ" fearing one of my brothers will open. And hide it carefully .

I woke up and found appa by myside. I dont know how i got at my parent's room but i was hungry. So i got up silently and went to the kitchen. I was eating when papa suddenly appeared. He was watching me eat but i knew he was waiting for the right moment to talk to me.
I wanted to leave the kitchen but he hugged me. He wanted me to tell him about my bruses on my hand and face. I want to tell him everything but i felt scared. So i started to cry and i could see he became more worried than ever. He calmed me down and he told me to tell him everything ...........
