Kicked out of Peai

(Everyone knows this fact. But still, I’m going to talk about it, because I think that no one knows about the specific information.)

So it was a very peaceful day. Eugene and I went to school that day, just kind of talked to each other about when we would meet, and did what was in our schedule.

At 2:20, Eugene and I met in B2 in our parking lot. Of course Eugene’s mom was there too, because she had to drive. So we went to Peai just like that. We were like ‘lalala’ing with Sophia and Rachel and Daniel and Hailey when Eugene screamed out, “I brought my school bag!”. So Mr. Patrick said to Eugene to phone her mom and bring the Peai bag. So Eugene trotted out of the room.

After Eugene ‘trotted’ out, there was a ‘knock-knock’ on the door and the desk teacher came in. He said, “Is there Eugene Hur and Seoin Lim here?” in Korean. I said, “Eugene went to find her bag but I’m here”. The desk teacher said to come out for a moment, so we sat in the orange room, face-to-face. The desk teacher said something like, “So your school has a Covid-19 patient, and that’s why you should go.out.”. Of course he didn’t say this rudely. But I felt like that.

In my head, it was like, “Dan! Dan! Daaannnnn!”. So I packed my bag and said to everyone very fast, something like, “sowehaveacovid19patientinourschoolsoihavetogobyeandalsowitheugene”. Everyone was having the “what the” thing in their face. I heard Rachel saying “go out. go out. go out. go out.” repeatedly, so I just went out, not even saying, “tell Mr. Patrick I’m going”.

When I closed the door, I found Eugene panting from running, saying, “Seoin, we are-”. I cut Eugene’s words and said, “yeah I know”. I wasn’t really in the mood of talking.

It was very lucky that Eugene’s mom had started a go with her car fast because of changing Eugene’s bag. When we were waiting for the car outside, we met Sarah, Lauren, and Violet. We met Sarah in the elevator and talked really fast about what was going on, and just pushed her in the elevator, saying “bye”. We met Lauren outside of the building, and we told her the exact thing, gave our homework to her, and said “bye” again. We met Violet, too, told her the exact thing, and said “bye”.

I was angry. I was angry with my school. I was angry with Peai. I was angry with the Ophthalmology person that had spread everything. I was angry with everything. I was angry at myself. The only good thing that happened was that Eugene and I played in the playground for a while. Nothing else. Nothing.

Later on, I found out more information. The kid that got Covid 19 was a 2nd grader. WHAT THE. I absolutely think that you don’t have to ‘kick out’ students of peai. Do you know the ‘no black zone’, ‘no kids zone’? I felt like that. ‘No __(school name) elementary school zone’.

I was also really sad that I couldn’t say bye to Mr. Patrick. Next week(today is Saturday when I am writing) is not Mr. Patrick. It’s Mr. Brad. It will take 1 FULL MONTH to see Mr. Patrick again! I felt like the world had ended.

*P.S. I didn’t do the Covid19 checking thingy. Everyone asks me that! Eugene and I are NORMAL!!!*
