The Korean foreign exchange student with Marfan Syndrome...

**BEFORE YOU READ, I KNOW HOW PROBLEMATIC THIS STORY CAN BE, NOT ALL PEOPLE WITH MARFAN SYNDROME ACT THIS WAY. ITS JUST A DREAM, IM NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE AT ALL, IF I DO, I APOLOGIZE** It all started when I was reading a book at my high school's biology class. It was in the middle of my sophmore year, and my friends were so psyched about colleges they were choosing. Our biology teacher recieved a call and hushed the class. Turns out we were having a foreign exchange Korean student who was a male. The door knocked and the class was quiet you could hear a pen drop. "Class, welcome your new student, Mawang". I was a shy student so I just observed him. He sauntered in the class with an emotionless face. His tall and leany stature pointed out then most kids in the class. He caught me staring at him, and then flashed a sinister smile... *blacked out: meaning I forgot some parts of my dream* Throughout highschool, he was bullied for his height. His long legs, hands, anything. But what made him different was how he knew little English but he was extremely intelligent. My friend and I was in a cooking my club we started. This month's theme was Spanish. We really needed newcomers to join our club. My friend Alejandra and I were walking through the school putting up flyers. I bumped into the exchange student. He still had that same smile on his face. "Uhh hello" I said, I finally managed to get a sentence out of my mouth. He leaned over to me and took the flyer. It seemed like it sparked his interest. "Food Club?" his eyebrow perked up. I nodded. "Are you in it" he asked. I nodded. Alejandra saw me shaking my boots and came to save me! "Heyyyy, Mawom-wang. Whatever you say it.." with her arms around my neck. "How would you like to join our club? It'd be really nice to have new members!" She gave him a big smile. *blacked out* It was in my Uncles restaurant who didn't mind us using his kitchen for our club. Mawang was very early. Unlike my friend Alejdandra who said called me and said she has traffic. I texted her " be safe plz, that guy is here w me". I turned my phone off. Mawang wore a long trench coat, long enough to hide his feet and his arms so he wouldn't show much attention. I felt bad for him. He was getting bullied and he couldn't even react because he doesn't know very much English. *few hours later* Alejandra was still in traffic. Mawang was staring at me while I was putting in spice into a pressure cooker. We were already making small talk. He told me he took an English class back at his hometown. He then said some creepy things. "I like seeing video of people waist chop" he whispered to me. My eyes grew bigger. I tried to ignore him. "I don't know what you're talking about". He titled his head and said, "you know English more than me." I was horrified by that. "You very quiet, I know." I heard his voice growing closer to my ear. "Are you scare of me?" he whispered while touching my waist. I slapped him with the mixer I had in my hand. He fell to the floor wincing in pain. Alejandra's keys jingled as she tried to open the door. *blacked out* Explaining to Alejandra was impossibly hard. She didn't believe me. Both of us were walking down to our biology class, "You can't just beat new members of our club, were supposed to be friendly" she lectured. I nodded but in my head I wondered. Was he trying to kill me? And if he thinks he can flirt with any girl like that, he's out of his mind. *blacked out* I was walking home from school. Alejandra offered if I could take a car ride him since it looked like it was going to rain. But I refused because I needed time to reflect. Alejandra was my best friend since we were infants and this is the first time she DIDN'T believe me. Walking near an alley way, a bunch of bullies were crowding over Mawang. Calling him "skinny bones" and the constant "what's wrong with your ___". Next thing you know it's raining. And I hear an ear piercing scream. All the bullies waist was chopped off. Mawang got up the floor and moaned aggressively. I was dumbfounded, only having my biology books to cover my head from the rain. He eyed me like how a predator seeks its prey. He muttered something in Korean and ran away into the dark alley. And then I woke up...
