Roaming in Seoul |BTS|

International School of Seoul (ISS) , 13/08/2018

I arrive at the school yard with my brother by my side. All eyes are glued on us. I know we stand out because we're European, which makes me want to disappear off the face of the earth. I hate standing out in the crowd. Why can't I just go unnoticed from everyone around me? I can feel my face blushing and heating up. All the negative feelings about school and the reason why I despise social interactions start rising in my head once again.

Addo, on the other hand seems quite confident seeing all the girls around him watching him amazed. How many people are there? 800? 1000? I feel like there's not enough room for my existence. I'm being overly dramatic, I know, but I can't help it, it's just in my nature, I guess.

"Hey, are you okay?" My brother asks worryingly. I was holding on him so tight that he noticed. His once perfectly ironed white shirt became wrinkled .

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I let go of him and fix my skirt. God, I feel so uncomfortable wearing a school uniform. I would always pick for baggy trousers back home. How I miss home. My old self and tendencies is currently fighting so hard with my new wish to become extroverted, that is driving me insane.

"I'm here Gyllene, there's no need to worry." Addo says smiling. We finally arrive at the school entrance where everyone is gathered.

"Dear students I would like to welcome you all..."

I stopped paying attention to what the principal was saying when I noticed a beautiful boy. He was blond, not too tall, had a warm shy smile and a great figure. Wow, I think to myself. I'm starstruck. The boy looks in my direction and we both look away. I feel like I'm blushing, again. He's too good to be true, though. Boys as handsome as him are always cocky and too in love with themselves to even notice girls like me, who lack a little bit of confidence. His girlfriend probably is a supermodel with an angelic face but a bitchy personality. Why am I being pessimistic again?

I shake that thought off me and look at him again. He was talking and joking around with some other guys who looked great as well. Their hair colors though! Minty, black, purple. Who are these people?! Our eyes meet again. Then I quickly notice that I'm not the only girl checking them out. There are girls everywhere pointing at their direction, giggling and waving at them. So, I guess they're pretty likable, huh? If so, wouldn't it actually be a good idea to try talk to them? Since my goal for this year is to make new friends and all.

"... Thank you for listening. I wish you all a bright school year."

"I'll see you at break in the front yard, okay? Don't get lost!" Addo states and hurries up the school stairs.

This three floored- modern grey building is equipped with the best new technology means and the best awarded teachers. On the ground floor is the school's reception and cafeteria. Each other floor has 5 classrooms for every grade.

So I guess that I'll be going to the second floor. Me, and hundreds of others students holding their bags, laughing with their friends and talking about how they spent their summer climbing up the metal staircase.

They already have friends.

I think to myself. Why would anyone want a new 'member' in their squad?  No, no, shake that thought off, damn it!

I spot the blonde guy I saw earlier going in the class 10b on the first floor with some of his friends. Oh, so he's a year younger than me. He's got to be 16 then.
