Expect the unexpected
The new kid in townMy name is Lee Chung-Ho, I am half Korean and half American. I am a, was a student in the United States of America, but due to my dad seeing a promo on a school named Seoul National School, my dad's old school, I am saying bye to America and hi to Korea.
But how will I survive there?
I've never learned Korean in my life!!!
And they tell me that I would transfer to a Korean school? How will I ever survive this!!!
So now I have just arrived in Korea, with my dad waiting for me in the airport with some tacky sign with my name on it with hearts and polka dots.
I think to myself, dad, why do this to me at my age of 16?
Me: Hey dad
Dad: Chung-Ho! I've missed you son.
Me: I've missed you too dad.
Dad: I love you son.
Me: Uh, I...love....you...too...dad...
Dad: Let's get home.
Me: That sounds great.
In the car ride, I think to myself, what problems could I encounter in school? Miscommunication? Racism? All I knew was that I wouldn't fit in.
Finally, we've arrived at my old house, I haven't been here in 10 years.
Me: I remember this place! I've missed this house.
Dad: I knew you would.
I didn't know what surprise awaited me inside, but all I knew is that I would definitely be shocked. As we went in, a big grin lit up on my face. As I saw.....
Me: A laptop! Finally dad, you gave me after all my begging.
Dad: Anything else?
Me: Oh yeah, hi Mom.
Mom: Hi Chung-Ho
Me: Thanks guys for this laptop!!!
Dad: You're welcome son. Hey, you should probably rest now, class starts tomorrow.
Me: You're right dad, I should probably take this with me. *grabs laptop*
You know, I really should've listened to dad, I stayed up all night on the internet and the next day, boy, was I regretful only being able to sleep for 5 hours.
Me: Mor.......ning mom,dad. *while drooling*
Mom and Dad: Morning Chung-Ho
Me: What time does class start?
Dad: At 7:30
Me: What time is it now?
Dad: 6:30, still early.
Me: Oh great, I still have time. Now I gotta prepare for school.
I took a shower, finished breakfast and prepared my backpack.
Me: Bye Mom, bye dad, off to school!!!
Dad and Mom: Hwaiting!!!
Now I'm riding the bus going to school, I was so sleepy I fell asleep on the bus, luckily some guy woke me up
Guy: Yah! Wake up, we arrived.
Me: Oh, thanks for waking me.
Guy: Yeah yeah, just get off the bus.
Me: *thinking* what's his prob?
Now I'm in school, finished the first set of periods.
Me: I'm still sleepy.
I must've been really sleepy, I hadn't noticed someone I bumped.
I woke up to see myself on the floor with some girl I hit.
Girl: Yah!!! What do you think you're doing?
Me: I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there.
Girl: Do you know who I am kid?
Me: Umm... no but I am sure that I'm the same age as you "kid".
Girl: I am the aegyo queen, Sunny.
Me: Oh really, prove it, show me an aegyo.
Sunny: *does a heart melting aegyo*
Me: Wow, you are an aegyo queen.
Sunny: Just be careful next time, say, what's your name?
Me: Chung Ho, Lee Chung Ho
Sunny: Be careful next time, Lee Chung Ho
Me: Yeah, I really will, I don't want to bump or hit more pretty girls.
Sunny: Did you just compliment me?
Me: Not if you didn't want me too.
Sunny: I think it's sweet **blushes**
Me: Weh? Me? Sweet? **blushes**
Sunny: Say, you have a phone?
Me: Of course I do, why?
Sunny: Give it to me.
Me: You're not gonna steal it, are you?
Sunny: No way!!! I have my own phones
Me: Oh, so what're you gonna do then?
Sunny: Just give it to me.
Me: Fine then *hands phone over*
Sunny: There you go.
Me: What'd you do with it?
Sunny: Check it.
Me: Oh, you put you're number there and with a heart after your name? What does that mean? **blushes extremely**
Sunny: Bye Chung-Ho
Me: Bye Sunny
Now, it's time for lunch
Me: I don't know where to sit, no one knows me here.
Bully: Move punk!
Me: Sorry dude.
That was the kind of thing I was talking about. People would just treat me as a nobody.
Then, I saw someone waving their hand, it was Sunny asking me to sit with her and her friends.
I went over there.
Sunny: Hey Chung-Ho
Me: Hey Sunny
Sunny: Oh where are my manners, these are my friends, this is Taeyeon, Tiffany and Yuri.
Me: Hey girls.
Taeyeon: What did you say was your name again?
Me: Lee Chung-Ho
Tiffany: Where are you from?
Me: The U.S.
Tiffany, No way!!! Me too!!!
Me: That's so cool
Yuri: You have a cute name
Me: Aww, thanks! **blushes**
Sunny: Guys, guys, enough questions, he's a new guy here.
Tiffany: Just one question, how did you two meet?
Me: **blushes** Um, it's kinda embarrassing.
Sunny: **blushes** I agree
Tiffany: Aw, come on guys, it couldn't be that embarrassing!!!
Me: Fine, we accidentally bumped and fell on the ground.
Tiffany: Wow, that is embarrassing.
Sunny: Tiffany!!! Enough already, let's eat first.
We eat then we start getting back to our different periods.
Sunny: Bye Chung-Ho
Me: Bye Sunny
With all the periods finished, I had nothing else to do but get back home
As I walked home, I pondered on about everything that happened today, I was so happy my first day was a blast. I never thought that I'd be able to have great friends by the first day, but I did.
I arrived home again
Dad: How was school today son?
Me: Fine, just a normal day. :D
