'' Tom Kang, Hollywood's new rising star, talented genius wins Artist of the Decade award this year ''
'' What do you think about that, Tom? It was an incredible reward for your first time. You are a young and talented person whether in acting or singing. You don't miss anything. The ladies are all crazy for you ''
'' Thank you for your compliment, Caroline but I still miss it in many ways if it weren't for my fans there is no way I could do it ..... ''
........
Beep!
'' What the hell? Why did you turn off the TV, Lia? '' says Jenny looks at me annoyingly.
''Because you were watching something boring, Jenny. If you have time for that, you have to go home and reconcile with your parents instead of staying in my apartment with me or paying me a rent instead. ''
"No, you are the one who lives in the boring life. And...''
"Jenny, you shouldn't be living with me and please reconsider with your mom. She does it for you ''
'' Whatever! ''
Bang!
"Jenny, Jenny!"
''Ah''
Jenny slammed the door and left.
'' Why am I in this mess? ''
_________________________________
Jenny has been my best friend since childhood. Unlike me, she is filled with love from her parents. She has everything she wants above all. She first went to the States years earlier than me and now she is at the same university as mine. I just arrived in the USA 1 years ago and I have a full scholarship but you know that life is not easy. So I have 3 partial jobs to cover my living expenses.
But life is still difficult for me. Study abroad, an unknown culture, language errors ....
Librarian at school, bar waitress in the evening, store clerk on weekends. Never enough money, never enough.
I really envy Jenny. because she doesn't have to worry about money and keeps complaining about trivial things like her boyfriend about her parents. And she is different from me who has a gloomy look and an introverted person. She has a bright smile, good friendships and relationships, a great appearance and a figure. Not lacking in anything, must be great, huh.
After arguing with Jenny, I went to see my friend Mary at the cafe. Mary is a first friend whom I made a friend in the United States. She is a kind person and has shiny golden hair and goddess eyes with glasses. When she first went to ask me for books, I have the impression of having seen the goddess. If she doesn't wear her glasses, I might not consider her a human being. It was a shame to wear the glasses. If she takes the lenses she will be prettier than the hollywood actress. But she said she preferred to wear glasses over lenses because it was more comfortable.

''Hi Lia! How was your day?'' Yes, everyone calls me like Lia on Elena Ko. So, this is my nickname given by my friend.
"It sucks like never before, but today it sucks even more."
"Now where's the homework book?"
"Here," she said and handing me a book. "You ask for the homework book on me. I am so sad now. So what is happening today? Who made our Lia stressful? '' says with puppy eyes.
''As usual the redhead witch, Jenny. "
"Wait! She still hasn't go back to her home? ''
'' Yes and we had a fight. But she will come back at night '' And I take a sip of cappuccino. I really love the taste of coffee in this cafe.
(TV sounds in the cafe)
''Korean-American artist Tom Kang won the Artist of the Decade award in his mid-20s this year. He will soon team up with Korean boy band AIS to sing ost in the hit series Unyielding Flowers and will star in the famous novel "Colors of Sins" as an attorney led by acclaimed Hollywood director Charles Wayne, ... "
"Tom kang is really handsome as always, I heard him with new model Selena in the scandal."
At that moment she said about Tom Kang, my mind is worried about Jenny. "Huh, sorry Mary. what did you say?"
"Uh, whatever, nothing important. By the way, are you Korean, Lia?"
"the fuck, Mary, I already told you I'm Burmese"
"Relax, Lia. But your last name is Ko, isn't it Korean?"
"Mary, We have Ko in Burmese maybe you should search it through google"
(oh baby I think i wanna marry you, phone call from Mary's boyfriend)
"Anyway I have to go now. My boyfriend calls me."
"What! Mary you said you are free today"
"Yes to give you a book of course"
"You are lucky to have a fiancé, huh"
"Sorry my friend. But today is valentines day. If you don't want to be alone try to get one"
"No thanks. I am not compatible with American guys. They are not my type and They don't like my type and I prefer to make more money."
She rushes to the door and says "Anyway bye!"
Then I went to home.
Now I'm home alone waiting for Jenny to come home and thinking I don't want to go to college because of a guy.

"Liam" (Mumble)
