A Beautiful Place

Star Academy

Morning came along and the sun's rays glistened through the curtains and shined the entire room. Of course the brightest part had to land right on your face. You opened your eyes and blocked the sun from directly hitting your eyes with your hand. After a couple of minutes of just laying in your bed, you sit up and stretch your arms. You suddenly notice a blanket that covered your body.

What's this? I don't remember getting under the sheets last night. You look at your bedsheets and that confirmed your thought. You were still laying on top of the blanket leaving the bed looking like no one had touched it. Maybe Sunny placed a blanket on me when she came back, you thought and smiled at the idea. You were an only child in your family and never experienced brotherly or sisterly love. It felt nice.

Sunny appeared from the bathroom in the school's uniform and smiled when she say you. "Hey there sleepyhead! I was about to wake you up."

You turn to her. "Good morning!" You stand up and start folding the blanket that was placed on you. You walk over to Sunny and hand her the blanket. "Thank you for laying this on me last night. I guess I was too tired to even get under my actual blankets."

She took them from you, smiled and chuckled. "You're welcome! Though, i wasn't the one to put that on you."

H-huh?! Your brain went crazy. Did someone come into my room while i slept?! You heard laughter come from Sunny.

"Don't get too freaked out! It was one of my friends that I met up with yesterday."

"They came in?

"No they just wanted to see who my new roommate was but you were asleep. One of them saw you and placed this blanket over you."

Still creepy but at least this person was trying to be nice. "What's her name? I'd like to thank her." You asked with a small smile.

"Her name is Sooyoung. Now get ready! Classes are about to start."

You rush to get dressed and ready. Sunny left while you were fixing your hair since she was her class president and had to be there 10 minutes early every morning class to take attendance. I wonder who is class president for my classes? It certainly isn't me.

You finish getting ready and head out your dorm with your bag in hand. You had about 8 minutes before class started but you still headed to your English class. Better early then late.

You walk into class with 5 minutes to spare and head to your seat but not before giving your name to a girl who you assumed was the class president. You sit down and take out your things. You glance over to the seat in the next row. Sungyeol's seat. He's not here. Maybe he's running late.

Those few minutes left before class was hectic. All the students rushed in, giving their name to the girl and ran to their seats. The bell rang indicating class started and at the moment, your teacher walked in. He headed to his seat but not before taking the class list from the girl telling her to go back to her seat. The class remained silent until a boy came running in the room, making noise.

You look up. Sungyeol!

"Sorry sir! I forgot to put an alarm for this morning." he breathed out. The teacher looked at him. You thought he would yell at him but he just smiled. "It's fine, just don't make it a usual thing. Sit."

He's so kind, you thought. You were glad you had someone so calm and kind as a teacher! Sungyeol bowed and headed over to his seat. You didn't realize you were staring at him this whole time until his eyes connected with yours. You felt your cheeks heat up as he gave you a smile and sat down. You turn your head back to the front and mentally slap yourself. Why are you staring at him?! Aishh, get a hold of yourself!

Class started and went by in a blink of an eye. There was about 10 minutes left of class and the teacher gave that time for socializing again. Everyone had gotten out of their seats to sit somewhere else or placed their chairs near their friends. You packed your things in your bag as a body sat down in the seat infront of you. You look up and see none other then Sungyeol. You smiled and greeted him. "Hello Sungyeol-ssi."

"Hey! How did you find class?" He leaned onto his hand which had been placed on your desk. "Decent. Went by fast."

"You noticed too! I like it that way! My attention span isn't that great." You both laughed and chatted until the class ended. You both got up and headed out the door. "Hey do you have anyone to sit with at lunch?" asked Sungyeol turning your way. You shake your head. "Want to sit with me and my friends? I can introduce them to you."

You smile. "I'd love that." He smiled. "Good! I'll meet you near the garden." He ran off, waving, before you could answer back. The garden? Argh, I have to find it now.

You made your way to your next class, Math. As you walk in, a girl was standing at the front taking attendance. Another class president. You gave her your name and sat down at your seat. The other students did so as well but you noticed some of the male students whispering to themselves behind you. They were talking about the class president.

"Isn't she so pretty?"

"Yah, you have no chance with her. That's Krystal."

"Krystal? No way! We're so lucky she's in our class!"

"Imagine her as my girlfriend? I'd be the luckiest guy!"

You snickered at there comments. She's a girl. Their acting as if she's a supermodel. You glanced at her. You admitted it, she's pretty. You started feeling a little envious about her looks but quickly dismissed it.

Class had started as soon as the teacher walked in. You took notes and doodled when you got bored. Math was a subject you were good in but it certainly wasn't your favorite. Your favorite was Art.

The teacher assigned some worksheets for tomorrow and gave the class the last 20 minutes to work on it. You had finished yours within 10 minutes. You start packing your things, completed worksheet as well, when you took a quick glance at your class. You couldn't believe your eyes. Most of the boys were crowded around Krystal, asking her question left and right. You scoff. Poor girl. I'd hate to be her right now.

She wasn't the only one who was surrounded though. You noticed that most of the girls were surrounding a boy. He was tall with blond hair. He was pretty much in the same situation as Krystal except he has girls surrounding him and not boys. Are they both the smartest people in our class? I don't get it.

"Krystal, can you explain what I did wrong for number 7?

"Krystal is so smart."

"Sehun is so good in math!"

"Sehun, maybe you can tutor me?"

So that's his name. Sehun. You stared at him. You could see why girls were fawning over him. He was gorgeous. You were scanning his features out of curiousity when he looked up and both your eyes met. You froze. Heat came rushing to your cheeks and you quickly turn back to the front of your desk. You sigh. I'm an idiot! He might think you're one of those girls! I've got to stop staring at people like that. It was twice in one day that you got caught staring. You had to get rid of that habit.

Class finally finished leaving you to rush out of class and make your way to your last class before the lunch break. Let's hope History class goes by a lot better then it did for Math.

You walked into class, gave your name to the class president who was a girl, again!, and sat down in your seat. The teacher was already at his desk, reading some book. You took your notebook out and waited the few minutes you needed to wait till class started.

Once the class president sat down, the teacher looked up from his book and pointed to the back of the class. "You're textbook for the year are at the back. Grab one and sit back down." He quickly looked back to his book as the students starts getting up.

You got up and stood in the messy line the students created. You finally reached the front, grabbed the textbook and headed back to your seat. On your way back, you didn't notice one of the student's bag sticking out from under the desk and tripped on the strap. You were able to keep yourself from falling but your textbook went skidding across the floor. You sigh. Just my luck. Get a new book and it's already dirty or destroyed. You make your way to your book when it was suddenly picked up by another student. You stare at the student. A boy with brown hair sweeped to the side had picked up your book and dusted it off. He looked in your direction. "Is this yours?" he asked. His voice was soft.

You nodded, words having lodged themselves at the back of your throat. He smiled and handed you the book back. You grabbed it from his hands and bowed. "Thank you!"

"No problem. I'm Taemin," he said, extending his hand towards you. You stare at his hand but quickly shake it. "I'm (____), nice to meet you."

He let your hand go and walked back to his seat before the teacher could start yelling at him. You rush back to your seat just in time for the teacher to start talking. "Keep those textbooks clean! You must bring them back at the end of the year," he said glancing your way. You gulp and hear a few students giggling at your misfortune.

The lecture started after the students had stopped giggling at you. It was BORING. You would only lie if you said it was even a little bit educating. Class time was ticking by slowly but you made it to the end. The bell ran indicating it was lunch break. You pack your things and head out the classroom. I have to meet Sungyeol now. But where is the garden? You start walking down to the first floor and you headed down the left side of the school. You stared out the windows, hoping to spot this so called 'garden'. From the corner of your eye you noticed a big white fluffy thing a little further down to the end of the hallway. You turn your head towards that direction and widen your eyes. At the end of the hallway, there was a giant, white fluffy looking tree. It's leaves were so white you thought it had been a cloud! You rush to the end of the hallway and walk outside.

You saw more fluffy white trees and they were surrounding a medium sized fountain. Mini sized gardens were placed in a neat fashion around the trees and fountain, displaying a burst of color. It was beautiful. This school sure does take care of its plant life. I've never seen plants this colorful!

At this point, you assumed you found the garden since it seemed to have the most plant life in the whole school. You were sitting at the edge of the fountain, waiting for Sungyeol. You grew worried. Maybe he was just kidding before? Or maybe he forgot. Ya that's it. I'm stupid for even believing he would come. You sigh and stand up. You weren't dissapointed in Sungyeol as much as you were dissapointed in yourself for trusting someone you met yesterday. You headed towards the entrance of the building when you heard a voice from behind you yell, "(____)! Where you going?!"

You turn around and see Sungyeol waving with a group of boys behind him. Heat instantly covers your cheeks. Are you freaking kidding me? This is so embarrassing....

You walk towards Sungyeol at a quick pace to get away from anyone staring. "Where were you going?," he asked once you arrived infront of him. "Ah sorry," you bowed, "I thought you wouldn't show up." You weren't going to lie.

"That's stupid. I just had to get my gang before coming here. Sorry it took long!"

You smile. "Forget it. Lets eat."

He smiled and turned towards his group who had settled around the fountain. Some sat on the floor and some sat on the edge of the fountain. Sungyeol sat on the edge of the fountain so you sat beside him.

"Everyone, this is (____)!" Sungyeol said pointing at you. All of them turned to you. You slightly bowed. "Nice to meet you all."

Sungyeol turned to towards the others and started naming them all. "That's Kim Myungsoo but call him L. He's a second year." He waved and a small smile appeared on his face.

"That's Kim Sungkyu, leader of our group. He's a third year." He waved but he had this vibe to him. Charisma?

"Our rapper, Jang Dongwoo. He's a second year." A huge smile appeared on his face and he waved. You couldn't help but smile back.

"That's Nam Woohyun. He's also a second year." He waved and smiled.

"This guy is from Busan, Lee Howon. But we call him Hoya. He's a second year." A sly of a smile appeared on his face.

"Lastly, we have our maknae, Lee Sunjong. He's a first year, like us!" He had a baby face. You liked it.

"That's everyone! Now we can all be friends." He chuckled as a few of them laughed along with him. They all started eating and took out your lunch. You prepared a small box that was half rice, a quarter vegetables and a quarter meat. You ate and chat with the boys. Well, you mostly listening as they talked between each other.

"Yah, (____)-a, where you from anyways?" Sungyeol asked while eating his lunch. You looked at him. "I'm from Canada."

"Woh!," exclaimed Sungyeol causing the others to turn towards the both of you," I thought you just came from a different city! No wonder you're new." You chuckled. "Your korean is so good though!" Sunjong said from where he sat.

"My father is korean and so is my mom but she was born in Canada while my dad was born in South Korea." The others nodded in understanding and went back to eating.

"So," you started catching everyone's attention, "How long have you all known each other?"

"We all went to the same middle school." answered Sungkyu, keeping his charismatic vibe. "But you're all different ages. How did you all become friends?"

"Through school activities and such. We just hung out and it ended becoming this group." said Sungyeol.

"That's cool." you took another bite of your lunch just as Sungyeol asked, "So when's your birthday (___)-a?"

You look at him, swallowed your bite and said, "It's November 25. Yours?"

He smiled. "August 27. That means I'm older then you! You have to call me oppa!"

You scoff. "I never did and I'm certainly not starting now." Some of them laughed at your response while Sungyeol stared out you. "Why not? You have too since I'm oldest. You actually have to call of us oppa!"

You didn't answer and decided to ignore him. Instead you asked Sunjong, "When's your birthday?"

"Yah don't ignore me!"

"Mine's September 3." said Sunjong. "Even you're older then me? Bummer."

"(___)-a, please don't ignore me...." You turned to Sungyeol who was pouting. "Did you say something?"

The others laughed as Sungyeol yelled, "YAH!"

You chuckled and patted his back. " I'm just kidding, oppa."

Sungyeol stared at you then smiled. "You called me oppa!"

"I had too or else you wouldn't be quiet! Now eat before the bell rings!" He smiled and went back to his food.

The group chatted some more and finished their lunch. The bell rang a few minutes after, signalling the students to get to their fourth class. You all got up. "What do you have next Sungyeol-ssi?" you asked walking back in.

"Math, you?"

"Art."

"Oh, me too!" said Sunjong, appearing from behind Sungyeol. You smiled. "We can go to class together then. If that's okay with you?"

"Of course!"

"Aww we're all getting along now!" Sungyeol said hugging Sunjong. You chuckled at the both of them. "Sungyeol-ssi, let him go, we have to leave."

"Call me oppa first~"

"You're kidding? Fine, can you please let him go oppa." Sungyeol let Sunjong go. "See you after school!" he waved to the both of you and left for class. Sunjong turned to you. "Sorry about him."

You shrugged. "It's fine. He's a happy guy." He smiled back at you. You both went off towards Art class.

You walked, gave your names and sat down in your seats. Sunjong sat at the back of the first row while you sat in the third row, 2nd seat in the front. The tables were different. It was a big table that could fit two people. Since you knew Sunjong wasn't your partner, you wondered who it would be. Let's hope I don't get some mean girl or something.

Students came into class. A girl sat down beside you. Oh god did I jinx myself!? She turned to you and smiled. She had an eyesmile, which you couldn't help but find cute. You smile back at her. "Hi, I'm (___)."

"I'm Sulli."

Before you could continue your conversation, the teacher walked in. "Good afternoon class!" the teacher cheered. "Today we'll be learning about the color wheel! Please come get your paint and some protectors for your table."

You got up and looked towards Sulli. "I'll get the stuff." She smiled back. "Thank you."

"You made your way to the front and took 2 protectors, some paint and a class of water. You were about to leave when you heard a voice from behind you. "We meet again."

You turn around and see Taemin. You smile. "Hello. I didn't see you come in."

He took the stuff he needed. "I got in before you did. I saw you come in." You nod.

"Students, no chit-chatting~!" the teacher exclaimed from her desk.

Heat rises from your cheeks. "I'll go back to my seat now." He smiled and waved, walking back to his seat. You made your way back to your seat, placed the paint and water on the desk and passed Sulli her protector.

Class went by which made you a little sad. Art was your favorite and it went by like class was only 20 minutes long. Soon enough, you had to clean up your mess. Sulli volunteered to clean up since you went to get the stuff. You handed the teacher yours and Sulli's work sheet. "Woh, that's so pretty." Someone said from behind you. You turn and see Sunjong. "Thanks. I did something similar back in school in Canada."

"You blend the colors so well~ Teach me next class?" asked Sunjong with a pout. You chuckled "Sure."

The bell rang and you headed out towards Gym. Sulli had English now and Sunjong had History. You made your way to the furthest section of the 2nd floor and headed into the dressing room. You changed into the gym wear which was a pair of blue shorts and a simple white t-shirt. Once you left the dressing room, you made your way to the actual gym which was regular size. Everyone was standing and waiting for the teacher to start.

Couple of minutes pass and the teacher yelled, "20 laps, now! GO GO GO!"

All the students starts running around the gym. This teacher is terrifying. Why are all gym teachers like that!?

The 20 laps ended and most of the students collapsed. I guess gym isn't everyone's strong point in this class. "Partner up! The first thing on the list for this year is basketball. You will all practice lay ups, passages, and tribbling now! GO!"

You look around the gym and scan your class. Most of the students already found their partner. Oh god don't tell me i'll be paired with the teacher?!

Suddenly, a boy with blond hair walked up to you. "Do you have a partner?" You shake your head."Good, you'll be my partner then." He dragged you near the net and passed you a ball. "When I get to this line," he said pointing to a yellow line,"pass me the ball. We clear?" You nod.

The next 10 minutes was spent on you passing the ball to this boy whose name you still don't know. You didn't even get to practice once!

The WHOLE gym class went by. All you did was pass the ball to this guy who didn't let you practice once. I don't like gym but to the point where I don't do anything?! Aish, this is frustrating.

The teacher congradulated the boy on his way to the dressing room. You fumed. This teacher was biased towards the boy. Remind me to never pair myself with him again! You slowly walk to the teacher and the boy. What's his name?

"Good job, Jongup! You've gotten a lot better!" Jongup huh? You're now blacklisted!

You walk to the dressing room and quickly change. You head out the room and go to your last class of the day, Science. You sigh. I can not wait till classes end.

You enter the class, giving your name to the class president. For once, it's a boy! He also had blond hair. You instantly thought of Jongup. You shrug him off your mind and walk to your seat.

You were waiting for class to start when a squeal came from a few girls. What's wrong with them?

At that moment, a boy walked in. Isn't the the Sehun guy from my English class? I guess he's popular.

He walked into class and sat down all the way at the back of class. Girls were swooning from either sides of him while he just stared at his phone blankly. You still felt bad for him. The teacher walked in and the lesson started.

Class ended and you couldn't wait to get to your dorm room and relax. You made your way to your dorm and walked in. Sunny was there but she wasn't alone. A few other people were there as well. You froze at the entrance.

Sunny turned to you. "Hey! How was your day?"

You nod shyly. "It was okay."

Sunny noticed how uncomfortable you were and said, "Sorry! These are my friends! That's Sooyoung, Yura and Jessica. Guys, this is my roommate."

Isn't Sooyoung the one who put the blanket on me? "Sooyoung unnie, thank you for placing the blanket on me yesterday." You bowed.

She laughed. "No problem. I had too or else Sunny would have let you freeze."

"Hey!"

You all laughed. The atmosphere around you all wasn't uncomfortable but rather welcoming. "Are you all third years?"

"No, I'm a second year." answered Sooyoung.

"Me too." Yura smiled. "You're a first year right?"

You nod. "I think one of my girls is in your class. Do you have a Hyeori in any of your classes?" asked Yura.

"I don't know, I only know a few people but not my whole class."

"I see, well ask around. She would be glad to know someone in a class or two."

You smile. "I will."

"Go change and then sit with us. We can all chat together." said Sunny twirling on her desk chair. You nod and head to the bathroom to change into comfortable clothing. Afterwards, you headed towards the group and sat on your bed, listening to their conversation.

Even if I got frustrated before, this day was better then the first. You smiled to yourself and chatted along with the other girls.
