[Baek is so cute]

[4 years old]

"Awww, she's definitely going to be a dancer," mom said to dad. They both smiled, watching their princess dance the night away.

"You're right honey. She definitely has the energy and potential to dance for a living."

They continued to watch 4 year old Alexis, while smiling to each other.

[7 years old]

Alexis was playing on the slides when a boy came up to her. She looked up and smiled at the boy.

"What's your name?" She asked him. He looked at her and smiled too. "I'm Baekhyun, what's your name?" He copied.

"My name is Alexis," she replied pushing her hand out in front of her. "Nice to meet you."

He shook hands with her, "Hi Alexis, it's nice to meet you too," he said kinda blushing. "Your face turned red, what's wrong?"

"You're really pretty." Alexis was now blushing. You couldn't see it, but she could feel her face heating up. "Thanks, wanna play with me?" She asked, completely changing her mood. "Sure!" He said as Alexis grabbed his slightly bigger hand and ran to the merri-go-round.

Today is my first day of High school, and I'm kinda nervous. I'm want to make friends, but I'm socially awkward.

1st period:

As I walked into my homeroom class, everyone looked at me. I'm still not used to this even after 7 years of living here in Korea. I had to learn Korean, but now I'm fluent so that's good right?

I took my seat in the front on the left side next to the door. If I'm closer to the door, I can leave first. The teacher introduced herself to the class and then it was time for the student introductions. When it was my turn, all eyes turned to me.

"Hi, my name is Alexis and I hope we can be friends," I spoke in Korean. Everyone, including the teacher, was shocked at how fluent I was. I sat down like nothing happened and covered the right side of my face so no one could notice that I was embarrassed.

4 months later

It's now December and I've made 3 friends in my dance class. I've been put into to Junior dance class until I'm a sophomore because I'm more experienced in dancing. That's how Leighanne, Marcie, and I are friends.

They're juniors and I'm a freshman. Weird how I cant make friends with anyone the damage as me. Now we dance together. Everyday.

[16 years old]

Me and Solar, my new best friend, were on the way to class when we overheard some girls talking. "Yesss. SM is forming another boy group next year!" We instantly stopped.

I walked over to them. "Did you guys say SM was forming another boy group?" The girls turned around and looked me up and down. "Who might you be?" One of them asked. "It doesn't matter right now, but can you repeat what you said just a second ago?" Alexis asked impatiently.

Alexis has been waiting for another group to be formed. She needed some new music even though the music she was listening to was already enough.

"We don't talk to people like you," They said in unison and walked around Alexis and Solar. "Well that didn't go how I planned," Alexis said. "Maybe I'll here it somewhere else later. I have to get to class Solar, see you later," Alexis waved as she started walking down the hall in the opposite direction.
