"How's school these days?" Mr. Park asked while taking a bite of his burger.

"Pretty much the same"

"Still no friends?"

I didnt reply.

"Why dont you try talking to your classmate more often"

"Talking to people is, tiring"

"You're talking to me"

"Its different. I mean, you're not like others"

"How so?"

He stopped eating and focused on me.

"Its just that..." I trailed off.

"See, you got no specific reason. Okay, I got an idea"
He clapped his hands.

"You will talk to at least one of your classmate tomorrow. If not, we stop hanging out for a day"

"Thats not fair" I whined.

"Why not? 1 people per day"

"Fine"

"You're a good girl" he said ruffling my hair lightly.

During recess, a group a girl gathered behind me, gossiping.

I heard one girl said that she need help to design a banner for the upcoming school function.

I remembered Mr. Park words, so I stood up from my chair and approached them.

"Do you need help, for designing the banner?" I offered.

They all looked surprised. They kept staring at me without saying anything.

"I guess I'm wrong. Sorry" I apologized and decided to walk away when one of the girl grabbed my wrist.

"No. I would really appreciate if you could help. And sorry for staring at you"

"Its okay"

"I'm Juyeong"

"Rose"

"Meet me at the art room after school then Rose" she chirped. She looked like a gentle person.

Well that went well.

I quickly took out my phone and started typing.

To: Mr. Park

Talking to one of my classmate, Done.

From: Mr. Park

Good. I knew you could do it. 

I smiled foolishly at myself.

I heard my phone vibrate again.

From: Mr. Park

We have a meeting after school so we cant hang out today. I'll make it up to you later.

I sighed.

I'm actually disappointed.
We hang out after school often so, I was accustomed to it. But well, I have stuff to do after school anyway.

As I entered the art room, I was greeted by a cheerful Juyeong.

She kept talking, in which I answered with a nod.

"Do you know the class give you a nickname?"

I shook my head.

"The Ice Queen. They called you The Ice Queen. Isnt that funny?" She laughed.

To be honest, I dont find it humorous.

"You know, you were very hard to approach. Everyone was afraid to talk to you. But you dont seem that bad at all. In fact, I think you're a very gentle person"

"Thank you"

"You probably dont remember but you helped me one time" she said grinning.

"It was raining that day. My boyfriend dumped me. And I was sitting on the corridor. You left your umbrella with me. I was so touched" she continued.

"I remember" I said smiling at her.

"Juyeong?"

"Hmmm"

"Do you wanna grab dinner?"

"Sure" she laughed happily.

To: Rose

I'm done with the meeting. Wanna grab dinner?

From: Rose

Sorry, I made an appointment with my classmate.

"She's ditching me huh" he said letting out a dry laugh.
