As I wake from a comfortable sleep I almost forget where I am. That sleep was probably one of the best I've had in a long time.

I check the time on my phone. 7:00 am. According to my schedule my first class is at my 9:00. It doesn't take me long to get ready so I guess it wouldn't hurt to sleep until 8:30.

I close my eyes and get comfortable. But before I can slip into unconsciousness I hear a soft knock on the door. Hoping that if I ignore it it'll go away, I close my eyes again. Not even 30 seconds later my mind is pierced with a strong voice. "Bora, the university is 45 minutes from here. You have to get up now if you want a ride."

Groaning, I get up out of bed and scoot my way to the connected bathroom. I clean my teeth and take a quick shower. I get out and get dressed. Today I decided to put on a basic sweater and jeans. The time is now 7:40. I grab my backpack and take it to the kitchen.

Upon entering I see Siyeon sitting at the table stuffing a piece of toast in her mouth.

"Oh are youth reathy?" She says through a mouthful of toasted bread. I nod. She takes a few seconds to wipe up the mess of crumbs she made on herself and the table. She then walks over to the living room table and grabs some car keys and walks out the door. I follow.

"They're working on the road that leads right to the school. So we have to take the long way." She explains as we get in her car. It's a 90's edition black Volkswagen. It may be old but it looks really good. She has a few bumper stickers. One is a violin. I'm assuming she's into the music program. The one that really caught my eyes is "what would scooby do?". I see she has a sense of humor.

A little more than 45 minutes later we pulled up to a very nice university. It looks almost like a castle. " So what's your first class? I have to meet a teacher before my first class today but We can work something out."

I take out my schedule. "History."

With no response she takes out her phone and starts to type. Less than a minute later she replies, "Do you remember Gahyeon?"

Gahyeon. Sounds familiar but I'm not sure I know who she's talking about.

After two long minutes of thinking I finally remember. She was the girl who found me a roommate! How could I forget her. " Oh yeah, what about her?"

"She has history too so she offered to walk you there. If that's okay with you we can meet her after we find your locker." I nod and we make our way inside the large royalty looking building. After going through a few hallways and a flight of steps we finally found my locker. I didn't bring much with me today so I just put my emergency tote bag in there.

After the lockers we make our way to the library where Gahyeon asked us to meet. The library isn't packed with too many students. Everyone is too busy with their own tasks to realize me and Siyeon awkwardly standing near two big bookshelves. Neither one of us is talking, instead we both stare off into opposite directions. The air around us is thick and awkward, neither of us knowing what to say. Hoping to distract myself from the awkward energy we are emitting, I reach over and grab a book of the case beside me. 'A woman's guide to Self Pleasure'. Nice.

As if my thoughts have been heard, a bright voice coming our way breaks the awkward tension we created.

"Unnie!!!"

Faster than I can even blink Siyeon is being tackled to the ground.

A pink haired girl runs past me so fast that I get dizzy and tackles Siyeon. "Unnie you're back!! It feels like I haven't seen you in years." The pink haired girl exclaimed.

"Oh stop being dramatic, it's been like 2 days." Siyeon deadpanned.

The pink haired girl, who I assume is Gahyeon gives Siyeon playful laugh and shove. Then she turns to me, eyes widening, remembering why Siyeon asked her to meet in the first place.

"I'm so sorry, excuse me for being rude. I'm Gahyeon. We met on messenger right? It's nice to finally meet you!"

"No no it's okay. It's nice to meet you too. Love the hair by the way. I wish I could do something like that to mine."

"Don't be silly I think you would look great with colored hair. Maybe we can try something when Halloween comes." She smiles at all the possibilities of hair colors she could give me.

"Sorry to interrupt but I'm going to just leave you guys to it. Bye Bora." Siyeon waves at me. She then disappears out into the hallway.

I turn back to Gahyeon who's already focused on me with a bright smile. "Come on, let's go get breakfast before class starts."

After breakfast me and Gahyeon exchanged phone numbers. I'm usually awkward around new people but for some reason it felt so natural talking to her. She has a brighter attitude that anyone I've ever met before.

Before we made our way to history she gave me a tour of the entire campus. She took me to meet her friend Handong who was also very nice. She was more on the quiet side compared to the loud and ambitious Gahyeon. She reminds me a bit of a person I used to know.

At the end of the delightful tour guide we finally reach our designated stop. History class. I was nervous to say the least. Surely everyone's eyes would land on me the second I walk into the classroom.

Before I can walk in I hear a familiar angelic voice call me from behind. I turn around to have my eyes meet the Yoohyeon. The silver angel.
