"Y/n? Read the first page of the book out loud for the class please." Says my teacher. My heart feels like it stops. I look down at the book and try to read it but I can't. I just moved to Korea from (your country) and Im still learning the language. I try to decipher the words but I can't.

"I'm sorry..I... can't" I say quietly, looking down. The teacher grumbles something then asks another student to read. I feel tears welling up in my eyes and feel completely embarrassed. I feel so dumb.

Class ends finally and I walk to my locker. I then feel strong hands pushing me hard against the wall. "Get out of the way you idiot! Can you even understand what I'm saying?!" A guy named Alex yells at me. I don't say anything and just look down at the ground. He grabs me by the collar of my uniform and shoves me against the wall again, pinning me there.

"You don't belong here. Go back to wherever you came from you piece of trash" he sneers at me. He holds up his hand like he's about to hit me until someone pulls him off. "Don't touch her." A boy's voice says in a serious tone. I look at who it is and see it's Namjoon, a popular but incredibly smart student in my grade. "This is none of your business." Alex barks at him. "I said. Don't. Touch. Her. If I ever see you near her ever again..." Namjoon death stares him. Sean slowly backs away then quickly scurries off.

I look at Namjoon and see him staring back at me. "Thank you. You didn't have to do that" I tell him. "It was no problem. Of course I did" he softly smiles at me then leaves. I stay standing in the same spot for a long time, still thinking about Namjoon.

------------------

The next day at school I go into my class. "Y/n will you write on the board for me?" The teacher asks. I nervously nod then walk up to the blackboard. The teacher reads out a long passage and tells me to write it out on the board. I stare blankly at the board with the chalk on my hand. My mind can't think that quickly in a different language. I look at the teacher, feeling more tears building up in my eyes. "I-I'm sorry..." I say. The teacher shakes their head and tells me to sit down.

I walk back to my seat and see everyone in the class chuckling and looking at eachother then back at me. The only one not laughing is Namjoon. He's sitting in the back row with a sad expression on his face. I sit down and never look back up.

After class I go to the library just to sit. Of course I wouldn't go there to read. I sit on a bench in the corner and look out the window, letting my tears fall after all of the humiliation.

I hear someone walk near me. I quickly wipe away my tears and sniff. I see Namjoon sit next to me on the bench. He looks at me with the same expression he had in class. "I'm sorry to bother you I- I just wanted to..." he draws off and looks at the ground. "You're not bothering me, what did you want?" I ask him quietly. "I was wondering if you maybe wanted me to help you read and write? I'm a good student and I would never make fun of you." He smiles at me. I nod "yes that sounds great, t-thank you"
"Okay great! Let's meet tomorrow after school" he quickly gets up and leaves.

-----------------

After school the next day I go to an empty classroom and wait for Namjoon. He comes in right on time and sits down close to me. "Ready to start?" He asks. I nod and smile. He teaches me the basics and then we move on to more complicated ideas. We study for hours and I finally can start understanding the words on the pages.

"Thank you so much for your help Namjoon!" I tell him. He looks deep into my eyes "it's not a problem, I love--..... uh.. spending...time with you!" He laughs nervously. I laugh brushing off the awkwardness, thinking it must have been a mistake. I get up and start walking out of the classroom.

"Wait y/n!!" I hear Namjoon yell. I turn to face him. "Hey, do you wanna maybe study again with me sometime?" He asks shyly. I laugh "it's a date"
