Clouds were scarce in the sky that day.the sky was a bright blue and the sun beamed down brightly, reflecting off the paper an out of place student held in his hand. he had brown hair that fell into place, though it wasnt messy. he stood about average height for a young man and his skin was a light shade.

he stood at the foot of the steps leading up to school yard. he held his hand up shielding his eyes from the sun as he looked forward. his greenish eyes squinted as he gazed at the school.

"it's certainly... different." he said quietly to himself as he looked back down to the paper. on it was a map of the school and his class schedule.

"you gona stand here all day or are you gona go in?" a voice said from behind startling him.

"oh im sorry im just.. uh" he stumbled to gather his transfer papers, thinking a teacher was about to bust him for being late..

"relax" said a girl who walked up from behind and hit him in the shoulder. "so youre the new guy huh?" she asked with a smirk.

"oh. yea.." he answered relieved it was a student like him and not a teacher. "how did you know?"

the girl had a big smile on her face...
her hair was chin length with bangs, and she wore a small tie on the top making a cute little tail pop up,she wore a uniform, with a skirt and an orange/yellow colored vest. orange was the color all senior students wore.

"well you certainly look like it standing there all awkward with your paperwork and over-stuffed backpack." she said happily. "my name is Boram" the smile still wide on her face.

"I'm Troy.." he answered bowing his head slightly.

"well then Troy, welcome to your new school. and get your butt to class already. being late the first day isnt a good idea." Boram darted off ahead of him leaving as quickly as she arrived.

'shes a lively one." troy thought to himself. he decided to head inside the school and stop wasting time.


Inside, the school was what he expected. it was alot smaller than his old school but other than that it was pretty everyday looking. halls lined with lockers and door ways. the walls were your everyday shade of white, though there was a small trim painted gold and silver, for the school colors near the ceiling.
troy went to the offices and was given his uniform. it was the same style as Borams, only boys wore pants and his vest was blue. the colors determined the grade. Orange were Seniors, Red for Middle years and Blue for freshmen.
after changing and visiting his locker he quickly jogged to his homeroom where he was already late. after an awkward introduction to his classmates he found a seat near the back corner of the room. the room was full of other blue vests like his. he managed to not draw a scene or have to make an introduction, taking the stress down a few levels.. he felt a little better.. but not totally comfortable.
across the room to his right, there was a girl with eyes that sparkled. she had wavy dark hair that parted in the middle. she was talking to some guys. Troy watched her laughing and enjoyed her smile that seemed to lighten the room. he thought he wasnt being obvious.
"you might want to keep your tongue in your mouth" said the girl sittign in front of him.
troy quickly jumped up pretending he wasnt looking. "what, what are you talking about.." he said trying to play it off.
"careful. Jiyeon over there has alot of fans." she told him giving him a skeptical look.
"oh, ill be sure to take note of it" troy said with a red face.
"i heard we were getting a new student.. I'm Hwayoung." she said with a slight smile.she had short black hair, about ear length. she had a cute nose and slightly puffy cheeks. ones that a grandma couldn't help but pinch..
"hey." he answered "nice to meet you. I'm Troy"
"well Troy i hope you like it here and if i catch you eyeing up Jiyeon like that again youre gona be short a few teeth." she said messing up his hair. "ill be seeing you around then." she got up and went over to Jiyeon, and the 2 started chatting. They seemed to be close friends as troy watched them interact with each other..
"well it could be going alot worse i guess.." he sighed.
the rest of troys day seemed rather uneventful after being threatened by Hwayoung. Troy got situated with his new classes and teachers and knew he would have no trouble adapting to his new surroundings.
after the day was finally over.. and troy survived. he left the school building with a smile//however the smile on his face quickly vanished as he realized he couldn't find the right bus and missed it.
He had no choice but to walk back to his place. luckily for him it wasnt that far. walking home he once again looked over his new neighborhood. it was quiet and peaceful.. and like many of his new schoolmates, the people were all very friendly.on the way home he stopped at a food stand for some food. he dropped his bags on the floor and sat on the stool.
"ill have a cheese burger.. please." he said to the server behind the counter.
"are you stalking me?" said a voice muffled by a mouthful of food.
troy turned slowly to a girl sitting next to him.. it was the same smile from in front of the school that morning.
.."boram right?" he asked.
"you remembered my name, youre definitely stalking me." she giggled.
"you dont remember mine?" troy asked
"it was New Guy wasnt it?" she joked again.
"close enough.." he said with a small smile.
"i remember dont start crying on me now." she said taking another mouthful of food. she was eating a bowl of some sort of noodles. Troy had never had it before.
"watching you eat is making me full." troy said as he watched Boram put away noodles like her stomach had no bottom. Boram let out a satisfying burp after she finished the bowl.
"its so good." she sighed. "so what brings you here?"
"i missed my bus so i got hungry from walking. figured id stop for some dinner. like you i guess." troy said as the server handed him his plate.
"this is just my pre-dinner snack." Boram said.
troy wondered how a girl so tiny could eat so much... "so you live around here then?" Boram asked.
"yea just up a few more blocks." troy said nodding his head in the direction of his place.
"i see i see." boram said. "im a few blocks that way" she pointed in the opposite direction. "im glad you survived your first day."
"thanks, me too". he said. "it was not bad at all i think i'm going to like it."
"im sure that feeling wont last long" she laughed.
"so uhm.. should i walk you home or something?" troy asked awkwardly.
Boram laughed a little. "so you can see where i live? you're a pretty bold stalker.."
troys face got a little red and he turned and took a big bite of his burger. "sorry" he muttered.
"thank you for the offer but no thank you, troy. i am actually heading to a friends house." boram explained to him.
Troy wasnt sure what to say, but before he could answer, Boram hit him in the shoulder playfully. "well new guy stalker. i should be heading there now. i'll see you tomorrow yea?" she said, with her ever-present smile.
"yea, uh see you tomorrow" he said waving as she walked down the street.
troy finished eating left some money and continued his walk home.
