CHAPTER ONE
Best way to spend your first day of school? DETENTION.
I got lost while finding my way to my classroom! Nakakainis. I’m a foreign student and my professor wasn’t kind enough to give me an ounce of consideration!
I’m Ela, senior high school student at Korea Kent Foreign School. Our family transferred here in Korea after my dad received a job offer in the Samsung Head Office in Seoul.
Ang daming nainggit sa mga kaklase ko dati nung nalaman nilang dito na ako mag-aaral. Marami raw gwapo dito. If they only knew, mga 5% lang ata ng population nila ang masasabi mong gwapo talaga. Kung gwapo man, you have to think twice or even thrice if it’s natural or “salamat dok” lang.
And they’re dorks! Dammit. They poke fun at foreigners! Asar! I know, my skin is darker compared to them, I’m not from the so called “Han race.” Thank you racism!
Oops. I have to stop ranting before Koreans send me out of their country.
On a lighter note, marami rin namang mababait na Koreans. It’s just that, they don’t trust foreigners that easily, that’s why the tint of racism. But once they already consider you a close friend, they’re so kind and generous! J
And if you’re fluent in Korean, that’s plus points! Even the elders will like you.
Going back, sana ako lang ang nasa detention today. I’ve heard stories of foreign students bullied by other students here. Naku! Pasalamat lang sila at wala sila sa Pilipinas!
*creak*
“Nu-gu-se-yo?” (Who’s there?)
Not my lucky day I guess? May kasama ako sa detention, at lalaki pa! T^T Hindi naman siguro ako mare-rape no?
“Aish. Jeor-ryeo. A-jik jeor-rin-da jin-jja.” (Damn, I’m sleepy. I’m still really sleepy.)
Kaya pala siya naka-tungo lang. Naabala ko pala yung pagtulog niya.
“Sorry.”
“Oh, we-guk-in-i-da!” (Oh, a foreigner!)
So what? He will bully me pag nalaman niyang foreigner ako? T^T Saka bakit ba ayaw niya mag-English? Everybody’s required to be fluent in English in our school. Isa siguro to sa mga bagsakin sa English class. Haha!
“Are you not going to say anything? Ja, if that is so, stay quiet. I’ll sleep.”
At natulog na siya ulit. Nababasa ba nito yung nasa isip ko? @_@ Hindi ko na nakita yung mukha niya. I’m not even interested.
Bilang Wi-Fi ready naman ang buong Korea *yay* nag-Twitter na lang ako. Gosh! My friends are spamming my mentions and miss them like crazy! T^T
And I also miss Chanyeol, my inspiration and my best friend.
Chanyeol is also Korean, but he is different from other Koreans I know. Gwapo and super bait. Super jolly person! Palibhasa dahil laki sa Pilipinas. Anak siya ng boss ni dad. Our dads frequently go on business trips at close sila kaya naging close din kami. He has to wait for his dad to finish his contract bago sila makauwi ulit dito.
Hay, I wish he’s here. T^T
-*-
*ring*
Hala! Nakatulog pala ako! At last detention’s over!
Pagkatingin ko sa tabi ko, wala na yung kasabay ko sa detention. Ganda talaga ng ugali nila, hindi man lang ako ginising!
Pagkalabas ko ng detention room, nakita ko na kaagad si Ysabel sa labas. Ysabel is a fellow Filipina who studies here. She’s an exchange student while I’m a regular.
“Sabi ko naman sa’yong wag mo na ako hintayin diba?”
“Okay lang yun Ela. Gusto ko rin kasi na may kasabay umuwi.” Magkasama kasi kami sa dorm. “Teka, sino yung kasama mo sa detention room? Nakita ko siyang lumabas eh. Ang pogi! Mukhang artista.”
Talaga itong si Ysabel. Napakahilig sa Koreyano. Actually, the reason why she applied for an exchange student program is because she likes K-pop and would want to see her idols here. ‘Yun lang! @_@
“Hindi ko nakita yung mukha. Natutulog kasi.”
“Naku, kung ako ‘yun, kinausap ko na kaagad! Malay mo mabait naman.”
“Naku Ysabel! Tigil-tigilan mo nga iyang pagka-adik mo sa Koreyano! Parang halos araw-araw iba-ibang lalaki yung tinuturo mo sa akin ah.”
*swoosh*
Nakarinig na lang kami ng mga tawanan ng mga babae mula sa second floor.
“Haha! Wan-chon i-ppeo-ne! Geu-jeo?” (Haha! Very beautiful! Isn’t it?)
“Omg! Ela, binuhusan ka nila ng orange juice!” Sigaw ni Ysabel.
Detention and getting bullied on first day of school – kill me now, please?
