My hands trembled, while I put my favorite orange hoodie into my red suitcase.
I looked around and my eyes stopped at the photo of my parents. Slowly I closed my eyes.
I missed them so much.

„Are you nervous?“ Siyan behind me asked and yawned.

I nodded and gave her a smile. „But I'm so happy.“

A had about six bags with me, when I stood there in the kitchen, while the other Chinese
and American girls gathered around me. Some of them weren't very interested, but some
of them got teary, when I hugged each of them.

„Take care of yourself,“ Xiaohong said and hugged me tightly.

She sniffed a little and looked into my eyes. „You made it, Chaeri-ah.“

A car with tinted windows already waited for me outside the dorm.

„Hello,“ I said and bowed, while the man inside the car opened the door.

„Get in,“ he said and looked at my bags. „You can put your bags into the trunk.“

I was a bit disappointed about what he said, but what did I expect? I didn't even
debut yet and life as celebrity wouldn't be that luxurious in the beginning either.

The man drove me to our dorm. We should live there from now on, me and six other girls.
I took quite a long time and I was impressed by the distinct Gangnam, were all celebrities lived,
because the dorm for the Chinese and American trainees was located on the outskirts of Seoul.

„You are going to transfer to Seoul Arts High, did you already know that?“

I was surprised and also shocked. „Really? I didn't know that.“

„The other trainees will be transferred to that school too,“ the man continued. „And we're there.“

I looked outside and could only recognize a skyscraper with many, many floors.

The man lead me inside the building and only gave me a little note, where the floor and the
apartment number was written on. Floor 32, Number 329.

I went to the elevator and pressed the button with the number 32 on it, while I thought about
the other members. Were they already there? Would I be the last to arrive? Maybe I should hurry...

I quickly stepped out the elevator and ran through the hallway. 325, 327...

I stopped in front of the door and stared at it.

Just do it, Chaeri.

I took a deep breath and pressed the door bell.
