I Like You

Chapter 1

Day 1

I examined myself on my bedroom mirror. I was okay with wearing a uniform, so I could easily blend in and not draw attention; but why'd it have to be a skirt! I put my glasses on which were too big for my face and I tie my hair to a braid.

A knock came from my door "Come in." I said

The door opened, it's my mom. "Are you ready? Don't want you to be late for your first day of school you know. Oh, and I made your favourite orange juice." She said, I knew that my mom knew I hated moving away. Maybe making orange juice was her way of saying sorry?

"Thanks mom, can I just bring it to school?" I replied. My mom nodded and closed the bedroom door

My older brother and I, we are transferring to St. Cecilia International School. It's a school well known for producing students who are artistically inclined in both performing and visual arts. We had to go there since it was the only international school accepting late enrollment.

I head downstairs, my mom and brother were waiting patiently by the door "Hurry up sleepy head." Said my brother jokingly. His name's Mark by the way.

I just sighed. I didn't want to repeat the same thing all over again, I didn't want to leave home. I didn't want to make new friends, the ones I grew up with were already perfect! Who knew I could already be this homesick.

I walked as slowly as I can to the front door. "Do I really have to go? I mean can't we wait a couple more days? Nobody really pays attention at the first day." I complained. Please mom please don't make me do this.

"That's the spirit!" Said Mark full of sarcasm.

Ugh kill me now.

We enter the car. Mark sat beside the driver seat and I sat at the back. If I could just learn how to drive maybe I can drive all the way back home? "Buckle up." My mom said

I stood before the doors of classroom B - 3. It says on the paper I'm holding that I have English literature class with Mrs. Minetski.

I knock on the door. I breathe deeply before I open it.

"Always remember to -" The teacher stopped mid sentence.

"Uhm. Is this the class of Mrs. Minetski?" I say shakily.

"Yes dear. Why?" Said the lady in front, she was wearing a dress with a cardigan on. Her face was round with lips full of red lipstick, her hair was dark blonde and she had reading glasses on.

"I'm a transferry. I was instructed to go here." I hand her the paper that showed my schedule.

She took it and adjusted her glasses. "Oh! Yes yes right. Come in come in." Mrs. Minetski insisted. "Now, introduce yourself to the class." She pointed to the space in the middle.

I walked towards the center, I felt every eye on me, it made feel uneasy. I focus on the ceiling to avoid their gaze"Uhhm- My name's Celena Ahn. I'm from the Philippines. Oh and my friends call me Lena"

"Wonderful, I've never met anyone from the Philippines but I've heard it's very wonderful there." Said Mrs. Minetski

"Yes, yes it is." This was the first time I was reminded of home since we got here. If I could just run away from here, believe me I would.

"Go ahead dear, you can choose whatever seat you want.

I proceed to the empty chair at the back by the window. I place my bag down and I immediately admired the view. I could see a court and a field. Maybe its used for Soccer? Or Baseball? Maybe American Football?

The whole class was startled when the classroom doors suddenly flew open. BAM.

A tall guy entered the room. He was wearing white long-sleeves(boys uniform), the top three buttons of the shirt were open and he held his coat over his shoulder.

The whole class was silent, even Mrs. Minetski.

The slowly came to my chair. I quickly direct my attention to the window.

"Hey, that's my chair."

Is he talking to me? Shoo Shoo. Maybe if I pretend not to here him he'll go away?

I was jolted when he tapped my shoulder. "Didn't you hear me? I said that's my chair."

I slowly turn my head. I met his intense gaze, it was as if he was staring right through me. He had short red dyed hair and ear piercings. My lungs tighten, I can't breathe!

"B-bu-ut, I-I-di-d-nt"

"Hey! Dude stop." Said another guy. This one had blond hair he had ear piercings too. He placed his hand on the shoulder of the red haired one. "Go choose some other chair."

"Tsk" The red head shook off the hand on his shoulder and proceeded to the chair on the other side of the room.

"Are you okay?" Said the blond guy.

"I-c-an-t br-e-a-the."

He began rubbing my back "Just inhale then exhale. Slowly.....slowly" I began to calm down. "There you go. My name's Amber, Amber Liu" He said.

"My name's Le-"

"Lena, I know. You just introduced yourself earlier" He laughs.

Amber's table was right next to mine. Wait.... Is Amber wearing a skirt? Holy... Is Amber a girl?...... She is...

"So, who's that guy earlier?" I asked.

"Oh him, he's Jungkook. We used to be friends when we were young." So that's why he listened to her earlier.

The bell rung and the class was dismissed.

"Can I see that piece of paper." Amber asked

"This?" I hand her the paper that had my schedules.

"Yeah." Amber read it. " Hey, it looks like we have same class next. Music with Mr. Park."

"Really? Could you lead the way?"

"Sure." Amber said smiling.
