Safe Haven (Seulmin)

Him

Seulgi's POV

I wake up to the sound of my alarm, a feeling of dread creeping up my body as I think of my first day of school. I get out of bed, take a shower, and get dressed. Soon, I am on the sidewalk, slowly walking my way to my new school, dreading my life choices with every step that I take. Soon, I was standing in the front gate and a sigh escapes my lips. Keeping my head down and tightening my hands on the straps of my backpack, I slowly make my way to the administration office.

The office was quite small. There was only one desk in the room and a door which probably led to the principal's office. A few chairs lined the walls of the office. A middle aged woman smiles at me warmly and asks what I needed.

" My name is Kang Seulgi and I am the new student who will be attending this school. I came to   pick up my schedule," I explained.

"Welcome to the school and I hope you enjoy your time here. Here is your schedule and if you need help, ask someone along the way. Class will start in about 2 minutes so I would hurry. Here is your locker number and combination and have a nice day, " she said, a huge smile plastered on her face.

I give her a small smile and quickly exit the room. I walk around the school, struggling to find my locker. After what seemed like eternity, I finally find my locker and stuff some of my books and supplies into it. Slamming my locker shut, I quickly search for my classroom and stop in front of a brown door, which a sign that says P5.

" You can do this Seulgi," I whisper to myself as I knock on the door.

" Come in," the teacher says as I slowly open the door.

Thirty pairs of eyes fell on me as I slowly shuffle my way in, eyes glued to the floor. My palms begin to sweat as I feel their stares bore right through me. I am so nervous that I didn't even hear the teacher telling me to introduce myself.

" Excuse me, new student. Can you please introduce yourself? My name is Ms. Wendy," she says, in a slightly annoyed tone. Snickers fill the air as I feel my face slowly turn red from embarrassment.

" I'm sorry. My name is Kang Seulgi, but please just call me Seulgi. Pleased to meet you all," I whisper, looking down at the ground.

Whispering fills the air and soon laughter can be heard around the classroom. I didn't want to look up for I had a feeling they were laughing at me

" Quite down everyone! Seulgi, you can take a seat next to Park Jimin," Ms. Wendy says, pointing to a boy with orange hair, looking at me with cold stare.

I was gonna be stuck sitting next to him for the rest of the school year. How great...
