Rose wasn't in their sight yet. She took out her earplugs and shoved them in her ears and played songs loudly so that she can't hear their nonsensical talks. She took a long breath and started walking.

In the silence of the dawn, the sound of her shoes on the concrete road made the boys to look at her direction. There weren't many people on the road. Rose just wanted to pass infront of them normally but her life won't make it that easy.

She was looking in the opposite direction from them while walking. Suddenly! She fell on the road and the boys who were just staring at her are now laughing loudly at her. She sighed, pulled out her earplugs and got up dusting herself.

(Oww! That actually hurts😭. None of the boys came to help me😤. Useless fellows!)

"Hey clumsy lady!" They laughed.

"Where are you going without actually looking where you are going?" Laughters sound again.

She started walking without paying any attention. She heard them comment on her.

"Her eyes are too small to see where she's going", they laugh again.

The guys were talking about her for some more time and then they returned back to their random talks. Among all these ill-mannered guys, a guy was really thinking about Rose. He wanted to know her more.

Rose sighed, "I'm home eomma!" [Eomma means mom in Korean]

"How was your meet up with Sanem? How is she doing?" Her mom aka Mrs. Clare Simpson asked.

Mrs. Clare Simpson, after being a great daughter and sister she was able to be a great daughter in law, wife and an absolutely amazing mother. She's frank with her children and acts like a mother or a friend or a guide whenever needed. She's Rose's first bestfriend. Rose tells her mother literally everything that happens in her life.

(Words aren't enough to praise your Author's mom. She is more than amazing. I love my mom❣️. You all should also love your mothers and give her every happiness of life. She deserves it.)

"She's doing great unlike me and the meet up was great too", she said throwing herself on the couch.

"Go take a shower, dinner will be ready soon", Mrs. Simpson said.

"Hmm eomma wait, I'm tired. Let me lie here for some more time", she said.

Mrs. Simpson sighed and went back to the kitchen.

I took out my phone and started to check out my social media accounts. Oh there are 3 new follow requests on Instagram! Hmm.. one is of my friend, one is just a random person and huh?! This guy seems familiar. Oh! Isn't he the new guy who just joined our school?

(I'll be writing Instagram as IG from now on. You know your Author is too lazy to write the full form so please co-operate🙂. Thanks!😄)

Oh wait lemme tell you about this. This guy, Hassan Ali, the one who sent me a request on IG is a newbie in our school but as soon as he entered our school, he became famous. I don't know how but his name is climbing on the list of famous boys of our school. I've seen him. He has good physique like muscles and all. He isn't that good looking but I can say he has a buffed up body.

Girls are literally crushing and drooling over him. One of my friends even told me about her crush on him. Actually she wanted me to be her cupid or shall I say love messenger? She wanted me to tell that guy about her crush but I was more shy than her to talk with him.

Anyways I accepted the request and sent him a request too. Duh! I HAVE to cause he's in my school! I rarely post stories on IG and today was one of the days. I post a beautiful pic of trees shedding their yellow-orange colored leaves, I mean it's fall now and I captured a really beautiful pic so why not!

I was watching YouTube shorts when I fell asleep.

(Ok so YT for YouTube from next time... hehe.)

I wake up to my mom waking me up by yelling loudly. I sit up rubbing my eyes.

"What time it is?" I ask.

"It's 9:37 now. Go freshen yourself up and come for dinner!" My mom said wait- no! It sounded more like an order.

I walk drowsily and go out of her sight. After completing my freshening up, I came back for dinner and saw everyone was already on the table.

I hit my younger brother's head playfully and ask, "How was school bro?"

"It was good Luna", he aka Arnold Simpson hit my arm and smirked a little.

I was too hungry to hit him back so I concentrated on eating for now.

My dad, Mr. Mason Simpson, as usual is eating silently. He was glaring at me when I hit my brother but he didn't say anything and I never care about his glare.

He's a sports professor in "University of California - Los Angeles". He knows how to play every damn sport. Duh! He has got the PhD in physical education. He can get any high post jobs but he's still stuck with that professor job of his. Also, I don't know what my dad's problem is cause he is a talented and professional teacher when it comes to teaching but I guess I'm an exception cause he never teaches me.

Also he doesn't like anyone to talk and do mischieves while eating but me and my brother are rule breakers so we never obey our dad's this rule. *Grins shamelessly*

We were done with our dinner now. I was in me and my brother's shared bedroom on my bed. He was lying on his bed and playing Minecraft, his so-called favourite game.

Oh.. that guy DM'ed me?! I check again to make myself believe. And it's him! My eyes go round.

"Damn what on earth?!" I say out loud.

"What happened Luna? Why are you shouting?" Arnold asked.

Kim Samuel as Arnold Simpson

(Your Author has many nicknames irl so don't fret. Luna is just an another name. Actually it's Noona meaning elder sister in Korean but my brother likes to call me Luna instead.)

"This- aish-", I burrow my face in my pillow.

He finally got up from his bed and sat on mine. "What is it? Are you telling or not?"

"Ok so there's a new guy in school over whom every girl is drooling and he DM'ed me!" I said squealing, a result of getting too much happy.

"So what?" He said dryly.

"What do you mean by 'so what' huh?", I asked frowning.

"Maybe he just texted you for some school work, don't get too excited ok", he got up and went back to playing his game again.

Hmm he's right. I should probably see what he has texted first. Oh! He reacted to my story. I sighed and liked his reaction. I closed my phone and stared at our bedroom door when my phone goes "Ding". A new message wait- I've to change the notification settings first. I changed the settings and see who's message it is and holy shit! It's him again!

He sent me a "Hi". I sink down in my bed. This time I didn't shout, I kept my voice low. So, I chatted with him and damn do you know what did I get to know?!

He's a national-level boxer!! OMG!! I gotta tell this to mom. I rush towards the kitchen where my mom is cleaning and washing the dishes.

"Eomma! You need to know this! Well where is Appa?" I said looking around. [Appa means dad in Korean]

"He's out for a walk with his friend. What is it? Tell me fast. I'm going to sleep early today. I'm tired", my mom said.

Well I told her about the smoking guys' incident first and then about this boxer guy. Her reaction wasn't that good but she told me to be careful and I don't know why she told me that. Maybe because of those smoking gang. Well moms are always protective about such things when it comes to their daughters but- Geez! I don't know. It's too much for today. I'm going to bed for now so good night.

(Rose is fast asleep💤, this is your Author who's talking. Btw I really get excited when it comes to making new friends whether it's a boy🧑🏻 or a girl👩🏻. Idk where will this new friendship with Hassan Ali lead to. I'm really excited! Idk how I'll confront him in the college I mean chatting via phone and talking face to face is different so.. *getting nervous*)
