"What? Are you kidding me dad?"

"Yes Javier, please take this seriously." Dad told me with a frown.

"This is just crazy!" I wailed and stomped up to my room.

I powered on my notebook and instantly logged onto Facebook.
Announcing this news to my friends would definitely shock them.
I opened up a private message and began typing.

"Guys, this is Javier.
 I now this is sudden, but please understand.

 My father wants me to transfer over to a school in Korea.
 Reason being that he needs to work there long term.
 Hence, my entire family will be moving over with him."

I held my hands together and waited for their response.
Just as I have expected, their reaction was no where close to calm.
I spent the rest of the night trying to sound them out.

"Okay then... Please take care of yourself there and remember to send us messages once in a while."
My friend replied finally with a smiley.

"I promise..." I typed with despair in my mind.

Closing the notebook, I walked back to my bed.
With a sigh, I closed my eyes and went to sleep for the night.

Few weeks later...

"Okay people, we have a newcomer." The lecturer paused his lesson and addressed the class.

I walked into the large room with a lot of korean students.
As I approached the lecturer, I felt eyes on me. I turned to face the class with a smile and bowed.

"Hi people, I am Javier. Please guide me along how this class goes."

"Hi Javier, do you have a girlfriend?" I random girl asked with a grin.

"No I haven't." I scratched my head and answered, puzzled at the random question asked.

The girl giggled to her partner and was just about to ask another question.
But luckily for me, the lecturer cleared his throat and asked her to stop.

"Now, why don't you take a seat at the back Javier." The lecturer suggested.

"Which side?" I asked.

"Beside Soojung." He smiled and pointed to the right side of the class, beside the windows.

There, I saw a long haired girl, lying on the table quietly.
I walked over to the seat and sat down quietly.
To my surprise, the moment I sat down, the class reacted with a loud "Oh."
Again, I was puzzled. But I didn't have to wait very long to find out the reason.

The girl beside me rose from her initial posture and realised my presence.
She frowned slightly and scratched her head silently.

"My name is Javier. I'm new here." I introduced with a smile.

"Krystal." The quiet girl replied with a small smile, as if she was uncomfortable.

In this case, she really might be feeling awkward as I am new.
But it didn't come to me that the reason wasn't me.
Sadly, I didn't find that out easily.

As the lecturer resumed his lesson, a cold looking guy entered the room reluctantly,
With his entry, the entire class seems different.

"Ah, Myungsoo, late again are you...Take a seat."

The Myungsoo guy nodded his head and approached my direction.
With one loud bang, his fists slammed in front of me, on the desk.
He glared fiercely into my eyes.

"Uhh hi..." I greeted awkwardly.

"I believe you are in the wrong seat." Myungsoo sighed.

"Pardon?"

He nodded his head quietly and with no warning at all, I found myself on the floor.
He punched me. On my first day of school here.

"What's your deal?!" I stood back up and stared at him.

"Watch your manners..." He chuckled, showing no signs or remorse.

"You bast..." I was about to hit him when a guy grabbed my arm and told me to relax.

The other guy was tall. Really tall.
He had really thick eyelids that I instantly noticed.

"Give it a rest new guy. Myungsoo's always like that." He whispered. "Come take a seat with me."

"Okay." I sighed and followed him.

We took a seat just beside Myungsoo and Krystal's table.
The guy who stopped me tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention.

"My name is Shim Changmin. I'm the class chairman." He introduced warmly.

"As you've heard, I am Javier." I shook his hand cheerfully. "So...what's with that guy."

"He is the coldest person you would ever see here. Kim Myungsoo." Changmin sighed. "He provides plenty of problem for us..."

I nodded my head in understanding.
Changmin took a sip of water from his bottle and continued.

"The girl there is his girlfriend, although they don't seem that close at all. I feel bad for Soojung at times." Changmin shook his head and flipped his book to the correct page.

I uttered nothing but an okay after he explained the situation.
With plenty of curiousity, I turned to look at the couple again.

There, Myungsoo had his face buried in his arms on the table. He was fast asleep.
Beside him, Krystal seemed to have noticed my movement.
She turned around and looked up at us.

"Are you alright?" She silently mouthed.

"I'm fine." I replied and smiled.

Krystal nodded her head and gave me a smile which was much warmer than the previous.
It was for that moment, that I felt that I'm looking at a goddess.
It was then, that I realised how pretty she actually was.

She seemed to be a kind hearted girl, but why is she with a guy like Myungsoo?
And why was she so quiet beside him?

"Hey, you are lucky Javier." Changmin laughed.

"Why so?" I asked, puzzled.

"Krystal never opens up to guys on the first day. In fact, I doubt she ever does."

"Maybe she just felt bad that Myungsoo attacked me." I laughed.

"Yeah, maybe!" Changmin agreed slightly and adjusted his thick framed glasses.

I sighed to myself and officially paid attenion to the lesson
