-Are you sure it's a good idea?

Mrs Seo looked at Soojin sitting in the backseat of the car, she could see how nervous her daughter was by the way she clenched her hands and lips.

-Honey, you remember what the school counselor said, group sports are a great way for Soojin to work on her shyness and we were lucky that her PE teacher coaches a baseball team

-I just don't want her to withdraw anymore

-She won't, believe me

Mr Seo looked at Soojin in the rearview mirror

-We are almost there Soojin, soon you will be able to play baseball and make new friends

Soojin just shook her head and turned her eyes to the uniform she was wearing, at least it was purple, the color she liked best.

-We arrived Soojin

Soojin looked out the car window and could see other girls going with their parents towards the baseball field, Mr and Mrs Seo walked up to a lady who received the players and their parents

-Seonsaengnim Ra? Seonsaengnim Ra Miran?

-You must be the Seo´s, welcome

They greeted each other and the coach turned her attention to Soojin

-Hello Soojin, it's a pleasure to see you again

The coach smiled when she saw the shy girl greet her, she explained to the Seos how the training sessions and schedules would work, after all the details were settled they said goodbye to Soojin and she stayed with the coach

-Your parents told me you already know how to play baseball, is that true Soojin?

Soojin blushed but managed to respond quietly to the coach

-I... I learned from my older cousins

The coach smiled

-That's good, now come on, I'll introduce you to the other girls and we'll start warming up

Soojin followed the coach and couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the other girls watching her as the coach introduced her to the players.

-Soojin is a little shy but let's make her feel comfortable alright girls?

The players smiled at Soojin and waved

-Okay, let's warm up and start training

A few minutes later Soojin sat alone on one of the benches as she waited for the coach to call her name, she watched the field and didn't notice when someone approached her

-Can I sit here?

Soojin looked to the side and saw an extremely red girl with all messed up hair, dirty uniform and missing a front tooth, Soojin nodded her head as she scooted over on the bench

-Thank you, I can't stay in the sun too long because I get burned so easy, my name is Yeh Shuhua, what's yours?

Soojin looked at the girl trying to straighten her bangs without success

-Seo Sooji
