one🥀

i groaned at the sound of the alarm of my phone. i used the music chuck to be fully awaken. i change my ringtone regularly, my last ringtone was fire and boy, that was loud.

i took a bath and went to my closet. i chose a beige shirt that says california even though i'm not in that place. but hey, i onced lived there. and white pants and my low- cut white converse. i fixed my hair in braids, and put on some tint and blush then finally went down for breakfast.

"Mom." i greeted and kissed her in the cheek. well, if you guys are asking where is my dad. my dad is above, not above our house like above, with God.

"come have breakfast." she placed the plate of a ten- layer pancake with chocolate syrup. And some orange juice.

i ate with my mom and we had a little chat.

"are you nervous?" she asked.

"no, not really. i went through many first day of schools." I said.

"are there any pancakes left?" I asked.

she nodded. i grabbed a container and put the remaining pancakes there.

my mom chuckled. "stop eating too much. you'll get fat."

"what's wrong with being fat, anyways?"

i stuffed the container inside my bag and went outside.

"bye, mom! see you later after school!" i waved at her and walked to school. it's not that far.

i finally arrived school. and i saw nahyun and mijung waiting for me.

"jiyeon! bogo sipeo!" nahyun screamed in my ear as she hugs me.

"nice try in using the korean words Imi've taught you." i smiled.

"was it nice?" she asked.

"getting there." i said, teasing her.

"it's not my fault i forgot those words." she said.

"so forget more. go to america again." i smiled sarcastically.

"oh, dear." mijung chuckled. i notice that she was there so i hugged her tightly.

"fool!" i smacked her head lightly.

"i missed you. And i'm not a fool!" she said in defense.

we pulled away and we decided to get our schedules and books.

after that, there was still 10 minutes 'til the first class starts.

"what's your first class?" mijung asked.

"math." i said with no energy. why math? out of all the subjects, why math?

"history." nahyun replied.

"too bad, i also got history." mijung laughed a bit.

"now, you're saying that you don't want to be with me?" nahyun said angrily.

"aish! i'm just kidding." mijung said. "Smso see you later?"

"mmm." I agreed

"goodluck with mr. jung!" nahyun's last message to me, because i found my first class.

i went inside and saw the guy from the park. i sat in the chair near him, and a few minutes passed he sat beside me and talked to me.

"hi, i'm joshua hong." he smiled and he held out a hand.
