Y/n's POV
8:24 am
I stood in front of the gate of my new school in Seoul. It was the third school I had changed this year because of my father.
Standing here really made me realise how hard running away is especially ehen you had a father like mine.
I shook away the negativity from my head as I drew in a deep breath and entered through the gates.
The campus had many trees here and there which made the overall look refreshing. I walked inside the building fiddling with the hem of my sleeve out of nervousness. I felt stares on me from all sides but ignored them. I straightened the skirt of my uniform and entered the principal's office.
"Ahh you must be Y/n. Have a seat sweetie." The middle aged woman said. I smile nervously and sit down in front of her.
"So here's your schedule. I heard from your previous school that your academic score was outstanding and I hope you continue that here too." She said and I nodded with the same smile.
"Don't worry ma'am I will not let you down." I assured her. "Now that's what I like to hear." She smiled sweetly. "Now, since you don't know anyone from here I'll call the class president." She said and spoke through the intercom some words which I didn't quite hear.
After a while the door opened and there stood a boy about two inches taller than me. He had jet black hair and had braces.
"Seungmin this is y/n, y/n this is Seungmin. He will help you get through class till you make friends." The principal said and I stood up from the chair and bowed "Thank you." I said and left the office to see Seungmin looking at me with a curious gaze but not in an uncomfortable way. I hesitantly followed him to class in silence.
After introducing myself, I sat down somewhere in the middle since I was as blind as a bat when it came to reading notes off the board.
I turned around to see people either looking at me with a scrutinizing expression or with a welcoming smile while the rest didn't care.
That's high school for me I guess.

In the middle of the lesson I felt the guy next to me poke my shoulder. Diverting my eyes from the teacher I I looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh by any chance do you have another pen? The ink in mine ran out." He asks sheepishly rubbing his neck. I nodded handing him another pen to which he responded with a 'thank you' and a smile.
I was finally focusing on the lesson again when I saw a paperball fall into my lap.
What even-
I looked behind to see a red haired girl glaring at me making me feel queasy? I turned back to my original position and opened the paperball reading the message written on it.
