"This is our new student from America. Alia Jones. Let's give her a warm welcome." The teacher said from her desk.

I bowed. "Hello."

7 boys in the back started high fiving and talking to each other.

"Please take a seat next to Mark." The teacher pointed to the back.

I walked to the back of the room and sat down. "Hello."

"Hey, what state are you from?" Mark asked.

"New York, you speak English?" I questioned.

"I'm from Canada, I also lived in New York for a little while. I'm fluent in English and Jaemin..." He gestured toward a boy with light brown hair, his shirt was unbuttoned and his blazer was hanging on the chair. "He's working on it."

I smiled. "Well, I'm glad I won't be completely lost, my Korean isn't the best."

Mark grabbed my hand. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you stay up."

"You should eat lunch with us." Jaemin smiled.

Someone started coughing really loud, catching my attention. I turned to see a group of girls staring at me. One of them shook their head and mouthed the words "don't do it."

I turned back to the boys and smiled. "Maybe, I don't know."

Timeskip

The bell for lunch rang and everyone got up.

"So are you coming with us?" Mark asked.

I glanced over at the girls and back at the boys. "Next time."

Mark nodded and led the boys out of the room.

"Oh thank god." One of the girls sighed as she stood up. "You really don't want to get into it with them."

I looked at her, confused.

"I'm Minsu and let us just tell you about those boys."
