Episode 1

' Ma ri , What are you doing on the roof ? Haven't you packed your luggage yet? Hurry up, Do it fast !! We'll be leaving tommorow. ' My mother said.

' I know ! I'll do it. ' I replied.

Hi , I'm Seong Ma ri . I'm 18 year old , a high school student.

I live in Daegu with my mom. My dad passed away when I was 5 year old in cardiac arrest. My Mom is a doctor. She oftenly stays at hospital due to work. So you can say that I grew up living alone. Moreover I don't have any friend. But luckily I'm good at my studies.

Tommorow we are shifting to Seoul due to my mother's transfer in Seoul hospital. I'm neither sad nor happy. This is my last year in high school, so I just wants to make some friends. That's my real aim. I hope I could make some friends there.

' Ma ri , Wake up!! It's 8 already.' She said while knock at my door hardly.

' Hurry up! Come , have some food. Are you done with your packing? ' She asked while chewing the food.

' Mmm...' I replied in a low voice.

' Okay ! Make sure to check it again before leaving. Okay?' she said.

' Yeah ! ' I replied.

Around 10 we left for Seoul. It took almost 3 hours to reach there. Not a long distance, just two hundred and seventy seven kilometres. A new city , new home , new school. Everything is new but the old me. My mom bought a flat here. I rushed to see the view from the lobby. And yes! It worths.

' It's beautiful , isn't it?' my mom said.

' Yeah ! It's quite good.' I replied.

' Then what about our home in Daegu. Did you sell it ? ' I asked.

' Hmm. Since we are planning to more back. I sold it. Let's give a fresh start to our life in this beautiful city. Okay!' she said with a humble smile.

' I already talked to my friend about your school. So don't worry. You can start it away from tomorrow. All your stuff is ready.' she said.

' Mom , can I stay at home tomorrow? I'm not feeling well. Also I'm tired. ' I asked her.

' Mmm , Okay! ' she replied.

*Actually, To be honest I am nervous. I don't know if I'm able to adjust myself in this new environment or not. I need some time calm myself. Next morning , My mom left early as usual. So I thought I should go out. I walked around some places and then I decided to visit my school.

When I reached there. I saw a huge building of the school. I can see some students there also. Seems to be a good environment. That's a relief! Now I think I can come to the school tomorrow without any worries.

Then I left from there. On my way I thought I should buy some snacks then my eyes turned towards a narrow street.

Where some boys were fighting. I tried to escape from there secretly but one of them caught me looking at them.

Then he stopped and suddenly start staring at me with those horrific eyes.

I turned my eyes. Actually I was trembling with fear and my legs were freezed there. I tried to peek at them whether he is still looking at me or not but when I turned around he was standing behind me. I fell under fear*.

He gave me his hand.

' Are you alright?' He asked.

But I was so scared that I ran away from there.

Next morning I went to school. I met my class teacher.

He brought me to the classroom with him.

'Now everyone quiet!! Today a transfer student came to our class. Let's invite her. Transfer student, come in.' He said.

I stepped in the classroom. Which was as big as my previous one. Everyone was looking at me. I got nevous.

' Please introduce yourself.' he said.

' Hello, I'm Seong Ma ri. ' I said in a trembling voice.

There is unwanted silence. Why everyone is so quiet? Did I say something wrong? Everyone is looking at me right now with a weird look. This is really making me more nervous.

' That's all?' my new teacher asked me while breaking this unwanted silence.

' Yeah.' I nodded and answered him.

Everyone clapped and welcomed me.

' Okay! You can sit next to Sung Ho.' he said while pointing his finger towards a boy who was sleeping.

I went and sat there. Then suddenly the boy wake up and looking at me.

I shouted loudly and fell from my desk.

' Hello!' he said in a deep his voice.

He was same guy whom I saw yesterday in that fight.
