Seventeen Short Stories

Vernon

~Your POV~

You just moved to Korea with your parents who are too busy working to really pay attention to you. Yeah you were a chaebol but you'd trade all the money in the world to have your parents spend more than just dinner time with you. Because those were rare.

You had so much free time for the past years that you took quite a few self defense classes to defend yourself from worldwide bullies. And everywhere you moved there was always one waiting to pull your strings. Somewhere along the way you got into music and dance. So piano, guitar, violin, the drums and dance classes were added to your boring life.

Every move is the same routine: you move in to some big mansion or pent house, Jackie (the assistant) gives you a new class schedule with a uniform and off you go. Your parents always went straight to work from the airport so you never saw them around.

"Have a nice day in school kiddo. See you after school." Jackie waved goodbye, leaving you to a whole new type of hell.

You knew it was a private school, but this time your parents enrolled you in SOPA (School of Performing Arts Seoul), which surprised you.

Ding Ding!

You pull out your phone, reading a message from Jackie. "Surprise! Took all my strength to argue with your parents for this but they came around once I said it was what you wanted. Hope you have fun kicking the bullies asses cuz I'll be there in the front office if ya ever need me! Love ya!"

You smiled at her goofy self, grateful there was at least one person in the world who paid attention to you.

Pulling your designer bag on, you walked into the school. The lady in the front office was very polite and handed you your schedule, but you needed someone to show you around.

"Oh, oh! Sophia! Would you mind showing the new transfer student around please?" The nice lady waved to a girl running by.

She stopped, flipping her long brown hair back. She had really pretty eyes and fair skin. "Sure thing! Follow me newbie!"

You stumbled after her, not sure what to say so you stayed quiet.

"No need to be so quiet around me Newbie. I won't bite. My names Sophia by the way." She held out her perfectly manicured hand.

You shook it nervously. "I'm Y/N."

She smiled, taking my schedule. "Your names pretty but can I just call you Newbie?"

You shrugged.

"Cool! So your schedule says you have class 4-6 which means you're right next to me. Come on!" She grabbed your hand, dragging you down the hallway.

Wow. This ones a talker. First time for everything aye?

"Here we are." You stopped at a glass door where you were able to see everyone inside.

You turned to face Sophia, bowing. "Thanks for showing me around. It was fun."

She laughed, patting my shoulder. "Yahh. Don't bow to me you're older that's weird."

You cringed. "Oh."

"It's okay. Head on in. I'll come get you for lunch time okay?" She was probably the most kind person you've ever met.

Too bad she's younger so she's in a different class.

You took a deep breath before heading inside.

Thankfully, no one noticed you so you headed to the far back where you found a vandalized desk.

Perfect. That means no one sits here.
