Prologue
Having just arrived to my first period class, I sat down at my desk and waited. The teacher looked up once from the papers on her desk, but payed no attention to the student with the lost expression on his face sitting in the very last row.
Nevertheless, I looked around patiently for someone to finally see that I was there.
The other kids in the classroom conversed with each other, never even glancing my way once.
Surely it must not take that long for a new foreign exchange student to be noticed...
It was miraculous when I finally heard someone ask, "Hey, who are you?"
Thinking it was the nicest person on Earth, I politely answered with my limited English, "I'm Han Young-Suk. Nice to meet you."
It wasn't until the kid opened her mouth did I realize she was probably someone I needed to avoid. "What kind of name is THAT? What the heck ARE YOU?" She placed her hands on her hips and gave me a weird look.
I truely did not understand what she had just asked me. So all I could do was ignore the questions and smile. And I did just that.
"I think someone's being a bit of a snob," another voice (probably a guy's) piped up. "Let's get him out, boys."
What are they talking about? Mostly everyone looks excited all of a sudden. Is something fun going on that I don't know of yet?
"Look at the poor kid's face," the same voice said, and laughter ran across the room. He walked over to me and jabbed a finger in my face. I scooted back, sensing that he was a bad person.
He smirked. "Meet me behind the school at 3 o'clock sharp. And don't you dare forget."
...
Wow, these American kids are aggressive.
