I got to school early for a change. I had enough time to finish the second series in the Young Samurai novel. It was the same old song and dance today. Classes were a bit boring with a little intrigue thrown into the mix.

That is, until Lunch. I went to my locker, and there stood Danielle. She was standing next to my locker. I smiled at her to be polite, and acknowledge her existence. I reached for my lunchbox.

"You’re so cute." She said leaning against the locker. "It’s a shame you don’t have a girlfriend yet."

I looked at here stunned, and blushed a bit." Well, you know. " And then out of nowhere she leaned down because she was probably the only girl I knew who wore heels that made her close to 6 feet tall.

I pushed her away, and slammed my locker shut. My heart was pounding, and my head felt really light. Her perfume still lingering on my nose. I thought she and Edward were a thing.

Why would she do that? Did she and Edward break up?

I saw Edward in the hall with John. He waved at me, but I diverted my eyes. My entire body went numb, and my face went completely red. I rushed outside, and went to the picnic tables next to the library. I ate lunch in silence like the first full day of coming here. I wish I had a book, but food was the only thing that I had to comfort me at the moment.

After lunch, I went to social studies, where we were talking about China. Great. Now everyone is looking at me, and expecting me to know everything about China because I’m Chinese. I just shrugged, and laughed nervously. People continued to look at me though with every question. I don’t know they expected me to answer every question based on my ancestry. I have never even been to China.

Sam texted me, and so did Edward. They were wondering where I was at lunch, and if I wanted to hang out later today. I didn’t answer of them. I went home, after dashing from the bushes, avoiding Danielle, and Edward all day.

At home, I felt the troubles of the universe melt away, when I slung my backpack down. My mother had bought some papayas at the supermarket before she had to be back at work. I had to hold down the castle till she got back, which meant I had to make dinner, and make sure Tai was in bed at a reasonable time. Great. The struggle will be real tonight.

I went to bedroom after my snack of papaya and almond milk. I sat at my computer and scrolled through some new hits, and found Hyuna.

My lord. Bubble pop is so catchy. I played it on repeat like 50 times. I got up a few times, and started to dance like she did in my room.

I found a few other Kpop bands. BTS and Gdragon are some of the best. CL baddest female is one of my favorite songs to dance to, and pretend that I’m really rich, and everyone is beneath me.

It was nearly 6 o’clock in the evening, and I just made broccoli, rice, and salmon. Tai refused to eat, and made him go take a bath. He refused and physically drug him into the bath, and locked him in there. He started wailing and pounding on the door, but I didn’t budge. I just looked at the floor, pretending I didn’t hear him. Is this what parents do? Surely to god not.

He went from wailing and pounding on the door, to a soft whimper. I groaned, and felt bad. I guess that means I’m not fit for being a parent, am I?

I didn’t hear any water running after another minute of his whimpers, so I just made him go to bed. I’d have to hear an earful from mother later, but I just went and read the third book in the Young Samurai series. I just want this day to be over. I will face it tomorrow. Can we just take a break every once in a while, and do something we truly enjoy? So, I did just that. I read, took a long, hot shower, and went to bed around 10pm.
