Chapter 6 [1/2]

JIHYO'S POV

We have been attending junior high over three months now and I have adapted quite well to it. It was hard at first because now I had to wake up earlier and do a bunch of homework everyday but I managed.

Momo has done well too and hangs out regularly with some of her classmates but I still struggle with getting along with mine. I guess it is because in my class there are more girls than boys, and besides Momo and DubuChaeng I'm not really know how to talk with people my age. They are actually very friendly and easy-going but when I talk with them they seem to be careful with their words as if they didn't want to disagree with me.I try to involve in their conversations and made some jokes but there is certain tension among us that I perceive is my fault. They start to giggle as fast as I go away and I think is weird because they only act that way with me.

I know that some people think I am scary because of my look when I got serious but I haven't done anything for them to be distant with me. They are even friendlier with our class representative, a tall and stoic girl that we have named 'stone' Nayoung as she never seems to react at anything, than with me.

Why have I done wrong? I need to know what to change so I can make friends too. Momo keep asking me about my friends but I always make excuses. I have been eating lunch with her and her new group of friends and we get along great but I don't want to be so needy of her and let her do her own business.

Ona day, when we were returning from art class I noticed something unusual: there was Myoui, the Japanese girl I have talked Momo about when we first enroll, picking up her belongings from the ground. 

It was weird because she wasn't particularly clumsy, in fact she had studied ballet for years and I knew that for it you needed to have good balance. I had had seen her picking up her stuff way too often for it to be just a coincidence. I sensed something wrong. As I had say Momo, she was very serious, quiet and difficult to approach. I figured quite easily that she was very shy when after the first week or so, many of our classmates didn't knew her name yet. I couldn't blame them because it was as if she had never been in there in first place. She rarely talked in breaks and only did when teachers asked her stuff but I did remember her name because I recognized her as the crying girl from the welcome ceremony. The girl that consoled her was Sana, one of Momo's new friends. 

Myoui Mina was having a hard time adapting too. She was a loner just like me. I never had the chance to talk with her at class or after it as she was always running away, like if she was hiding. This looked like a good chance to do so.

I approached her and offered my help but when she saw me she got pale. She was scared, I could tell. It confused me, like, why would she be scared of me? I had never talk with her besides the standard greetings. It was really weird. She ended going away in a hurry without saying me a word. She left behind a small notebook, for doing notes I guessed. I had my chance after all, as I planned to return it personally. If she didn't accept it next time I talked to her then I would just write something on it and put it on in her bag. So when she saw my note she would see I just wanted to be friendly and she shouldn't be scared of me.

When I went into the classroom, the chatting and lively voices of my classmates ended. It was starting to piss me off. Why were they this mean? I wanted to talked with them too. I wanted to laugh too. Even boys were acting all serious when I took my sit next to them. Seriously, so annoying. 

Myoui was sit next to the window, looking thought it. I couldn't see her face but I wondered if she was sad or mad, just as me. We were surrounded by people but any of us could approach them. Were we the ones at fault?

The class was canceled as the teacher couldn't make it and class representative, Nayoung, told us to have a study break. Of course no one studied. They were all playing around and having fun. I couldn't go and talk with Momo, she had a class. I was so bored. Then I remembered that I had Myoui's notebook. I had planned to give it back when we were alone but I could probably never have a chance so instead of waiting the right moment, I stood up and went to her. I called her name and when she looked at me she looked surprised. Apparently the rest of the class was too because they kept in silence, looking at us. I could feel their glance on me and it was getting on my nerves.

I speak in Japanese to Mina who seemed impressed by it. I told her we needed to talk and after thinking a bit, she smiled and we went out.
