A New Day at Seoul

Hi! My name is Aliyah and I'm 15 years old I really live in Texas USA with my mom but dad wants me here with him in Korea so mom agreed and that's why I'm here. New school, new faces to remember, and if your thinking why my parents don't live in the same country it's because they divorced, and I'm the only reason for their communication.

We lived here before when Mom and Dad are not yet divorced but when you know, after that I and Mom went to Texas and for years I totally grow up there and now I'm back here in Seoul. I was walking along the corridor of my new school and every student was looking at me from bottom to top. Yeah, that's really really awkward but when the bell starts ringing, they all go to their designated rooms, and me too. I sat in the back seat and shy to talk to people when our professor gets inside our room. He's quite handsome tall but thin and has some nice curly little hair and blue eyes with cool glasses.

"Good morning class!" The Professor came in and greet us with a smile on his face.

Everyone stood up and greeted back, "Good morning teacher."

"Okay, now sit down. I heard you had a new classmate who transferred here, am I right?" the Professor asks.

"Yes sir. And she is really a bit weird?" The girl in front told the teacher and most of the students giggled.

"Yeah... That is right." Another girl from the front seat said.

"Stop that nonsense. You know bullying is not allowed in this school right?" The Professor told the students.

"Yes, sir." everyone replied.

"Okay, where is the new student?"

Every head inside the classroom turned to me so I stood up.

"Would you like to introduce yourself?" The Professor told me.

"Hi!" I paused and smiled awkwardly to everyone while I raise and wave my hand.

I cleared my throat and continued to introduce myself. "I am Aliyah Chesca Jin from Texas and I am 15 years old."

Students murmured asking why I transferred here if I am from Texas.

"I thought in the USA schools were really nice then why did you transfer here? are you bullied there?" Finally, the most colored girl from the class asked. She has so much make-up on her face that's why I called her color girl.

"Heyy stop that." The boy from beside her whispered.

"Oh, yeahh! The universities there are really nice but the fact that I've transferred here is because my father lives here." I explained. I was trying to be nice since this is my first day in this school,

"And who's with you in the USA?" A voice at the back asked.

"My Mom." I replied.

"You're mom? But why? are they not married? Gosh." The girl in front who first talked about me asked. Guess people are really good at making conclusions nowadays.

I was irritated by those questions.

"Hm, they are. But that is none of your business." I said irritatedly.

"Okay, enough of that. Nice to meet you Aliyah. You may now sit down." The Professor interrupted.

I sat at the place where our Professor told me to and there I met this girl. She has long black hair l, white skin, big brown eyes with her glasses, pinkish lips and a nice voice. Yeah.. she seems pretty but others call her nerdy because of her glasses.

"Hi! I'm Sabrina! Nice to meet you Aliyah." She wears this bright smile. But still has a weird taste for eyeglasses.

"Hello Sabrina." I replied, then focused on classes, since the Professor is now discussing. After an hour...

"Okay, that's the end of our discussion. You can now take your break." The Professor then fix his things up and leave the classroom. The room become so noisy and messy, students stood up. Some leave and some stayed inside.

Sabrina stood up and asked me "Hey! Wanna come with me to the canteen?"

"Uhm, thanks! But I'm fine here." I smiled at her, then she leave. Then this girl who got trash-talked a little bit by me when asking about my parents getting married came to me with her girls.

"Hey, weird! You are just new here so choose your enemy wisely and don't try to pick a fight with me. Come on now girls!" she rolled her eyes and then walked away.

"Who's that crap!?" I asked in an irritating voice,

"Oh, that's Rhian. The girl who likes to bully others including me. And she is one of the hottest girl on this campus. Many guys would love to be his guy. How I wish I was her. Except I do not want to get her bad attitude." Sabrina explained.

"Hi, I'm back." she added

"By that kind of attitude guys really loved her? Oh, what a shame." I said.

"Are you not afraid of her?" Sabrina asks while eating her sandwich.

"Why would I? There's nothing to be afraid of her."

"Oh, I like your spirit." she said in a teasing voice.

"That's not a spirit that's the reality about her."

Sabrina was shocked for a minute. "Kay... Hey, want a sandwich? I have 2 here." She stretch her hand offering the other sandwich that she had bought from the canteen.

"I'm not yet hungry."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah."

"Okay, I will just eat them both then."

The class then started after a few minutes.
