Thanksgiving was one of the best of my times with my friends but on the last day, I received a phone call a few hours before my friends were about to leave on Sunday.

“Hello?”

“Hey Chaeri, its mum.”

I stood there for a second before I realised that it was my mum.

“Oh! Right, sorry. What’s up mum? Why are you calling?”

“I should really be telling you this when I come home tonight but I want to give you a heads up now so…”

“Mum, what is it? Is something wrong?”

“What? No, no! Nothing is wrong, it’s just…”

“Mum, what is it?”

“You know my friend from Korea right?”

“You mean Lee Soomin?”

“Yeah, him.”

“And…?”

“He wants to us go to Korea.”

“WHAT?!” I stared at my friends who were staring at me, wondering what was happening.

“And your dad and I want to go there.”

“WHAT?!”

I couldn’t believe that this was happening.

“What the hell mum?! You migrated me to America for only two years and now you want to migrate me to Korea?!”

“Chaeri! We haven’t really decided yet, we’re just saying we MIGHT. It doesn’t necessarily mean we will!”

I rolled my eyes.

I knew my parents well.

If they decided to that it was time to tell me something as important as this that means it’s at least 80% sure it was going to happen.

“Okay, whatever. I’m going to talk about this later. Bye mum!”

“Wait-”

I hung up and dropped on the couch.

“I can NOT believe this, we’re moving to Korea now! What the hell is this?!”

Angel, Jackie and Cyndi sat on the couch next to me.

“When are you moving?”

Jackie asked quietly.

I shrugged and let out a sigh.

“I don’t know…my mum said that it wasn’t final yet…but knowing her, I don’t believe her.”

Angel and Cyndi remained quiet while Jackie fidgeted.

“Well!”

Angel began.

“Let’s just stick together for the rest of the time then!”

I smiled and nodded.

“I’m not going to let my parents migrate me somewhere else again!”

My friends laughed and the rest of the day passed by peacefully and happily.

***

The next day, at school, when I went to my locker to get my books for first period and second period, I saw a bunch of flowers under my locker.

I frowned and looked around me.

I picked up the flowers gently, wondering who it could be from.

On the very top, was a small card that just fit my palm.

I opened it and checked to see who it was from.

There wasn’t a name.

I read the card.

The writing was familiar but I couldn’t remember who it was.

Your smile is like the blooming flowers you weld.

Your heart is as pure as a flower petal.

Your laughter is as sweet as the smell of the roses.

I love you, and I hope you will accept me.

That was it.

Without intending, I had to smile.

Whoever gave this to me was really sweet.

I opened my locker, put the flowers gently inside and took out my first and second period books, closed my locker and then walked away with a smile.

***

“Hey Chaeri!”

I froze.

I was in the middle of walked towards my first period class which was Chemistry when I heard that familiar voice.

I didn’t want to turn around.

But I still ended up turning around anyways.

Darren ran up to me with a smile and he was about to speak when I slapped him.

The hall way where we were both standing quietened down and everyone was staring at us.

His head was turned towards the left for a minute or so before he turned back towards me and said to be quietly, his voice hurt.

“What was that for…?”

I wanted to apologise to him.

I wanted to tell him that I didn’t want to hurt him.

But I couldn’t.

The scene of him and the two girls wouldn’t leave my mind as I stood there, looking at him.

He waited for me to answer but I didn’t say anything and just walked away.

After walked a few steps, I felt Darren’s hand grab mine and he turned me around.

“Chaeri, what’s wrong?”

I stared at him.

I couldn’t believe how he could still act like this in front of me.

I pushed him away from me and his grip on my hand fell apart as he staggered backwards.

“I hate you.”

I walked away.

***

The whole day, I didn’t hide away from him and rumours began to fly.

But, I chose to ignore them.

Until lunch time and I was sitting with Angel, Jackie and Cyndi.

Darren walked up to our table and sat down.

Angel, Jackie and Cyndi stopped talking and stared at Darren.

I felt the whole cafeteria stop talking and stare at us.

I got up and said to my friends,

“Let’s go. I’ve finished eating.”

They stood up and were about to leave when Darren’s very projected voice spoke,

“What did I do?”

I didn’t say anything but had my back remain towards him.

I heard Darren get out of his seat and walked towards me.

He walked in front of me and said quietly,

“What did I do?”

I could feel myself trying not to cry and I was very thankful to Cyndi who answered for me.

“How can you still stand in front of her and not feel anything?”

Darren looked at Cyndi clueless.

“What the hell are you talking about?” He asked.

Angel scoffed and Jackie spoke.

“We know. We know.”
 

“What do you know?”

Darren looked so clueless.

I looked up at him, my tears threatening to fall out.

In a restricted and quiet voice I said to him,

“Why don’t you go and ask Jason Kim.”

I pushed past him, dumped the rest of my uneaten food in the garbage and walked away, walking towards my fifth period class.
