(The first day of freshman year was on Thursday, now its Saturday.)
It's only been 2 days since my freshman year started at Eunsang high, and I already hate it here. This school is just a powerhouse for fights and gangs and shit. Thankfully, I can actually fight and I actually have some brain cells, at least I think, so I should be fine....right?
I haven't made any friends, well I did make one friend, or so I think. His name is Park Humin, but I like to call him baku for short, and he calls me gotak.
He's super loud and very extroverted, unlike me. I can talk with people, I just don't do it often and nor do I do it with literal strangers, but he talks to practically everyone he sees in the halls.
We share most of the same classes, so naturally, we noticed each other, more like he noticed me, and shared contacts. So, I think we're friends, or at least just starting to be.
I was deep in my thoughts, and I got snapped out of them when I felt my phone vibrate. I looked at my phone screen and saw that, well hell, speak of the devil, baku had sent me a message.

Baku (1:05PM): gotakkkk wyddd
Gotak (1:05PM): nothing much, just lazing around, why wassup?
Baku (1:06PM): nothing, I'm just bored out of my mind rn 😓
Baku (1:06PM): u wanna hang? pretty pls 🥺🙏
**I thought about his question for a bit since we aren't super close, but I decided, why not? It'll give me an excuse to go out and I could become better friends with this guy. He seemed like a cool guy and I wanted to get to know him more.**
Gotak (1:07PM): uhh sure ig, I'm not doing anything anyways
Baku (1:07PM): omg finally someone to hang out with to cure my boredom, everyone else I asked was busy today and couldn't hang 😞
**I snickered a bit at the thought of baku pouting after being turned down by multiple people and looking like a kicked puppy. He lowkey does give golden retriever vibes.**
Gotak (1:07PM): lol that's depressing, where do u wanna meet up?
Baku (1:08PM): i was thinking we could meet up at this park nearby (insert location) and play basketball at the court there, I can bring my basketball for us to play with if ur up for it 🏀
Baku (1:08PM): we could totally do smth else tho if u dont wanna play basketball
Gotak (1:08PM): omfg hell yeah i do, I've been wanting to play basketball for so long but I completely forgot abt it cuz of stupid school 😔
Baku (1:08PM): and now u get to play with the best of the best 😋 see u there at 2?
Gotak (1:09PM): yeah 2 is good, see ya 👍
Baku (1:09PM): see ya ✌

Alright, I guess I'm gonna hang out with baku now, and we're meeting up at 2pm, plenty of time to get ready.
I stayed in bed laying down for a bit and thought if I should get something to eat first, but decided against it since baku and I could just get something to eat after playing at the court.
I groaned as I got out of bed, I was laying there for so long my legs started to ache.
I took an about 25 minute shower and blow dried my hair with a towel hung low on my hips. I brushed my teeth and went to get dressed.
I checked the weather and saw that it was slightly chilly out, so I decided to wear my favorite blue hoodie, as if I don't have 10 others, and a pair of black basketball shorts. I wore some random pair of socks I found laying around on the floor and put on my black and white converse. I swiped up a white baseball cap and put it on.
I put my phone, keys, wallet, and a pack of gum in a black fanny pack and put it on over my head to sit across my upper body.
I realized my hands were super dry, so I put on some of my favorite lotion, vanilla scented.
I checked the time and saw that it was 1:50pm, I had just the right amount of time to get to the park before 2pm. The park was a 7 minute walk from my house, according to my phone.
As I walked out of my room and to the front door I yelled to my mom and dad, who were sitting in the living room watching TV,
"Mom, dad! I'm going out with a friend! I'll probably be home at around 8pm!"
My mom yelled back, "Okay hyunnie, be safe! Don't get into trouble!"
And right after my dad yelled, "And keep your location on!"
"Yes mom, I won't, you know I don't hang around with people like that. And dad, you know I always have my location on when I go out, don't worry, I'll be fine."
My mom said, "Alright alright, bye hyunnie! Have fun with your friend!"
"Bye mom! Bye dad!" I yelled as I left through the front door and started my walk to the park.
