Before I knew it, oh crap. School is starting tomorrow. I'm transferring schools so I will be leaving all of my friends behind. Oh, haha. That's funny. Yeah, I never had friends. I find it really hard to make friends. That's probably because of my social awkwardness but all I knew was that no one wanted to be my friend. So that was one of my problems in grade 1 up to middle school. But hey, on the bright side, I'm moving again and who knows if I'll make friends this time?

The Next Day

"Wake up honey, you have school today!" My eyes were still closed but I could see Eomma trying to wake me up. "Yes Eomma, I know." After a while, I had finally woken up and a got dressed. I was looking in the mirror and I hoped to make friends today. I've been feeling very lonely but I try to stay positive as I can.

I race down the stairs with my backpack fling on my left shoulder. "Morning Y/N, jal jinaeseyo? How are you?" Appa asked. "Gwenchana." I replied. I took a bowl and a spoon and Eomma passed me the milk. I reached for the cornflakes in the cabinet and poured some in my bowl. Along with the milk, I poured the milk in my bowl. After breakfast, I took my lunch for the day and kissed my parents. "Annyeong Eomma and Appa, saranghaeyo. I love you both." I told them. "Annyeong Y/N, have fun in school ah!" At this point my parents were yelling because I was already out the door. I didn't want to be late on my first day. "Ah, nae!" I yelled back. I rode on my bike to school and in a few minutes, I'm at school.

"Annyeong class, we have a new student tod-" I heard the teacher speaking outside the room. I ran in the class and everyone stared at me as I interrupted the teacher from finishing her sentence. "Jeosonghamnida, I'm late. Jeosonghamnida..." I apologized. "Ah, gwenchana gwenchana." the teacher replied. Looks like I wasn't the only new person today. I saw a Boy standing beside the teacher and he was looking at me in a weird way. I ignored him. I looked at the class and everyone was looking at me. My anxiety was about to kick in until the teacher started speaking. "So today, we have two new students. Please introduce yourselves. Let's start with you shall we?" she was looking at the boy. "Annyeong, nae ireumeun Kim Taehyung. My name is Kim Taehyung. I am a transfer student. I hope I can make new friends here and I will do my best to be a great student. Kamsahamnida." He said. "Okay, would you like to introduce yourself now?" the teacher was looking at me and I got scared. But I managed to say something. "Oh um, annyeong. Nae ireumeun Y/N. Um, I'm a transfer student and I want to do my best. Kamsahamnida." I felt myself sweating as I said that. Damn anxiety. My mind was in the middle of thinking about what could go wrong after I said all that until my thinking got interrupted by the teacher. "Annyeong Taehyung and Y/N. Jal jinaeseyo? How are you today? I hope both of you are fine. Can you both please sit in the top right corner behind SungKyun and JiHyuk please. Kamsahamnida."

We went to our seats and this Taehyung guy was still looking at me in that weird way. I felt awkward but I still decided to ignore it. I heard some girls talking to my left so I looked to my left and saw four girls sitting beside each other, gossiping. They kept looking at me or the Taehyung guy. I wasn't sure but they were smiling a lot until one of them frowned. Then all of them frowned. They looked like they were frowning at me but I decided not to care.

The bell rung and I packed my books in my bag. One of my texts books were sitting at the edge of the table and I accidentally knocked it off the table with my elbow. How stupid me. I cursed under my breath and kneeled down to get it but I saw a pair of bands reaching for my book. I looked up and saw the Taehyung looking down at me. I got so shy all of a sudden I looked back down. "Um, this is yours?" he said. I stood up but our hands were still gripped on my text book. I looked up at him, "Um yeah, it is. Sorry, thanks." I grabbed my book and stuffed it in my bag. I zipped my bag and turned around. I jumped. Taehyung was in front of me. "Fuck, you scared me." I told him. "Sorry, I didn't mean it." he replied. I smiled. "You look familiar. Y/N right? Your name is familiar as well." he asked me. I didn't know what he was talking about. A moment of silent follows until he smacks his hands together. "Yah, Y/N!" I was surprised. I was frozen. What? "Remember me? Kim Taehyung! Your classmate from reception and grade 1! Yah, your memory needs a boost!" He held my head in both of his hands and closed his eyes like he was trying to read my mind. "Is it working now? It's good to see you!" he smiled at me. I was still frozen, surprised. "Oh, oh... K-Ki-Kim T-Ta-Taehy-ung... I remember. Hello, annyeong." At this point, I was shaking. "How are you? How have you been? It's great to reunite with an old friend aye?" He was smiling really wide now. "Oh um yeah sure um yep I'm fine." I kept stuttering because I was still surprised. I still felt really stupid. "Anyways, I've got to go to my next lesson now. I'll talk to you later if I see you! Annyeong!" He waved to me and soon as he rushed out of the classroom. "Annyeong..." He couldn't hear me because he was already out of the classroom but he managed to see me wave at him before he left.

I close my eyes and open them again. I was still in the classroom, no one else was there. It was just me. Okay so this isn't a dream. I have Math next, I better get going before the bell rings but before I knew it, the bell just gone. "FUCK," I yelled. I ran out of the classroom and sprinted to Maths.
