          After giving it a hundred thoughts, she finally decided to go to school. She thought that it might be fun to go back to school and one more thing, it might be good to see that boy again. She gave a last glance to the jacket before folding it and putting it into the bag. Kissing her nanny a goodbye before going off for school.

          The birds were actually singing sweetly as if it was telling Tzuyu that today is going to be a great day. It has been a really long time since she went to school. She might be nervous or scared or maybe just too happy about the thoughts of meeting that boy from the playground again. 'What is his name again?' She asked herself. 'Oh, right! Kim Yugyeom.' She replied to herself. This is the kind of girl that she should be. Not the previous one who had always thought about how to make money, to get more money and just to have money to survive.

          While she was so happily entering the school gate, suddenly, there's a girl who unintentionally collided with her. "I'm sorry. But you are on my way." She said. 'I did? Or she did?' Tzuyu talked to herself. "I don't think so. You are the one who is in my way." She argued. "Excuse me? You are the one who is too happy walking around that you didn't notice me here." The girl fought back. "Excuse you then, you are the one who is in such a bad mood that you didn't want to admit that you are actually wrong." Tzuyu still didn't want to back off. 

           "GUYS !! STOP !!" A girl shouted from far away. "I know this would happen." She said under her breath and only her listen to it. "Rena! Let's go back to class." The girl said. Rena brushed her hair from blocking her vision then turning back to go back to her class. "Hi..are you new here? I'm Eunwoo." She said as she offered her hand for a handshake. Tzuyu took her hand and they shook their hand together. "I'm Chou Tzuyu." Tzuyu introduced herself to Eunwoo. They went to class.

          "Hi everyone, I'm Chou Tzuyu. I hope that we can be friends." She introduced herself the simple way she could because of the fact that she was trembling and nervous to talk in front of many people. Guess, everyone ever felt that way. Walking on the aisle to the empty seat next to the window. The student who used to sit on that desk was absent so that would do for her to seat for the meantime. The teacher will make sure that Tzuyu will have a place to sit by tomorrow. "Hi, Tzuyu... Remember me?" Eunwoo, who sits in front of her greeted her more cheerfully than this morning. "Yeah... I do. Hi." Tzuyu greeted back. Rena who sits next to Eunwoo just rolled her eyes. "and to you too.." Tzuyu said trying to mention Rena. 

          "She is Rena," Eunwoo said. "Oh.. hey, look. I'm trying to make friends here. Wish you could just forget what had happened this morning." Tzuyu said and Rena sighed as she took out her hand for a handshake. Tzuyu accepted her handshake. "Rena." She said arrogantly. "Sure. I know." Tzuyu replied.

On that very first day. She had made herself a friend.

Without her realizing it, she has been watched by that particular boy who is the only one that knows her even before she introduced herself in front of the class.
