''You'll be fine!''

8:38 AM

Wow, I never thought I'd wake up early one day. I slept pretty well at the dorm, except that Yeol-a kept waking me up because she talks in her sleep... Strange right? Today, we are all going to get the results of our registrations for the programs we picked. I'm a bit stressed, but I'm also pretty confident. Yeol-a and I want to arrive early, just so we do not have to wait an hour in line. Speaking about her, she's currently getting ready. Let's just say Yeol-a wakes up pretty early for some reason, but she respects my sleeping schedule, she lets me sleep as much as I want despite the fact that she has to be completely silent to not wake me up.

''What do you think?'' Yeol-a said, while exiting the bathroom in which she had been for over an hour, getting ready.

''Cute as always!'' I said, showing my teeth.

I got dressed as well, and we were now on our way to the departments. While she went to the other side of the building, towards the literature department, I went towards the art sector. Only a few people were there, three girls and a boy. The brown haired boy waved at me before approaching me. 

''Art huh? The name's Jake, Shim Jake.'' He said, putting a smile on his face.

''I'm Kumi Ideka, nice to meet you!'' I said, smiling back at the boy. 

''How does it feel to be the only boy here?'' I added.

''Terrible.'' He said sarcastically.

''At least I can prove that art isn't only for girls!''

''True true.'' I said while nodding.

''What made you pick art?'' Jake asked.

I was about to answer, but someone passed between us.

Nishimura Riki, what's wrong with you.

I rolled my eyes at Niki's lark, and Jake looked at me with a questionning look.

"What was that for?" The brown haired man asked.

I shrugged.

It was now Jake's turn to enter the department, which means that I am the next person to go. Actually, I expected this program to be very popular, so I thought I would have no chance to enter. But since we are only 5 people who signed up, I am pretty sure all of us will get in.

I waited until it was my turn since I was the last one in line. The image of Riki interrupting Jake and I kept replaying in my head. Why would he do that kind of thing?  Before I could think any further, the Australian man came out of the room with a smile, signaling that it was now my turn to check the result of my registration.

As expected, I got in! In less than a week, school is going to start. Even though I have friends, I'm still panicking about the fact that I barely know this school and all the good things it has to offer. What if I embarass myself? Worst, what if I just get lost forever in this place? I am aware that the chances of all of these possibilities being possible are possibly really low, I am still in a state of panic.

"Since we got interrupted last time, may I ask what made you choose art?" Jake said while we were both walking towards the dorms area.

"I've always had a thing for art. Painting in general. Everyone in my family practices art, either painting, drawing or dancing and singing. And someone that I wish I'd be able to forget once told me that art is meaningless, that I'm not the type to do art, so I decided to prove them wrong." I finally answered.

"That's exactly what you should do, what everyone should do. You know what, you're going to be my role model from now on."

I let out a chuckle.

As were walking, someone hugged me from behind.

"Did you get picked? WAIT NO don't tell me! I know you got picked! Yeol-a asked in a very excited tone.

"You're right, they picked me! What about you?" I asked, as the girl was now walking along with us, almost ignoring Jake's presence.

"Of course! Who wouldn't pick me when I have so much talent?" Yeol-a said while laughing.

Jake turned towards Yeol-a.

"You two know each other? Really?" Asked Jake.

"Mhm! We met online a couple of months ago, and she trusted me enough to meet me in person, and I owe her all my respect!" The pale girl said while smiling at me.

"Gwan Yeol-a, you really still go online after what happened last year?" The boy said, a bit suprised.

Yeol-a turned red, and mouthed a <<Don't you dare!>> to the Australian boy.

"Wait she didn't tell you?" Asked me Jake.

I shook my head as a no.

"The dear Gwan Yeol-a happened to-"

Before he could keep on telling me what happened, Yeol-a covered Jake's mouth with her hand.

The girl gave big eyes to the boy, while slowly removing her hand from his face.

"Well I must get going! And you should definetly tell Kumi about it!" The boy said while walking though a door, which must of been his dorm's.

"Yeol-a, if you do not feel comfortable telling me about it, then don't. I understand and it's completely fine! I assured the girl.

"No, I need to tell you. But before I do, I really need to take a wee, I've had this urge since an hour!" Yeol-a said whining.

While Yeol-a was busy in the bathroom, I went in a took this opportunity to exchange some words with my dear mother.

"Hello?"

"You still haven't saved my number, didn't you?"

"Hold on a second, I'll do it right now."

I chuckled.

"How have you been Kumi? Have you received the results from your art program registration?"

"I have been doing great, and yes, I got in!"

"I knew you could do it! I'm so proud of you kid!"

"But there's still one thing I'm worried about.."

"What is it? I'm all ears!"

"School is starting in less than a week, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get good grades, or just never get used to this school.."

"Kumi.. darling look at you, you always had good results, and I'm 100% sure your friends will help you in this new environment. You'll be fine!"

a/n: Sorry if this sucks, I've lost inspiration for this chapter so all I've been doing during class was just thinking about this book, trying to find inspiration, and it was worth it since I succeeded! I'm sorry if the next chapter comes out in like a year. I'll try my best and post often even with my busy schedule. I feel like I'm just coating this story with details only and nothing is really happening with Niki. I'm confident that if I keep thinking about this story during class instead of working, I'll be able to find a way out of this neverending detail phase. Take care! xx
