Exposing Julia

We didn’t get to have any pizza but we did get a burrito after eating I gave Hea-won a school tour\, I showed her the dorms\, and it turned out she was my new roommate (backstory\, my old roommate transferred to another school because of family issues\, so there was a vacant bed in my room\, but the dorm monitor told me that I'm gonna have a new roommate soon\, but I didn't expect that she was my new roomie). We both screamed out of excitement and then suddenly the school bell rang we ran through the halls only to see Miss Claire holding a ruler and giving our class a lecture about camera angles when we arrived at the door all eyes were on us while walking to our seats\, I saw a smirk in Julia’s face\, but I didn't pay much attention to it\, cause Miss Claire was walking towards my seat\, I sat properly and started thinking about an excuse to say when suddenly\, someone started crying\, it was Julia! “M-M-Miss *starts crying again*” Then Miss Clair started to comfort her. [Ugh too dramatic -_-] Back to what Julia was saying “H-H-Hea-won bullied me in the cafeteria\, a-a-and then after that they ran out of the halls so they won’t get caught* went back to crying*” I saw Hea-won’s face darken\, it’s probably hard for her to be a target by the bullies in her first day\, I felt stares behind my back\, I felt uncomfortable\, I just wanted to leave the classroom immediately. Suddenly\, Hea-won stood up and started speaking in… Korean (this is a translated version) “I am truly sorry about what happened (It was just like in the dramas\, so everyone understood that part but then she started to use different words) but\, how can you be so cruel that you have to lie just to get attention\, aren't you supposed to be the most popular person in the school for being the school bell? Am I sorry? No (this was the part where we didn’t understand a thing) But yet again I am very sorry for what happened (so basically the “sorry” parts were the only words that we understood) ”  she said in a sincere tone. Everyone wondered\, what did she say? That was until a student spoke “She said sorry” It was Emy\, Julia was surprised when she heard what Hea-won said\, “But- WHY?!”\, a small smile was on Hea-won’s lips\, “we Koreans have a trait of apologizing\, ...even if we didn’t do it” she smiled at Julia with innocence. Julia was embarrassed\, and everyone gave a round of applause cause she was the first one to expose Julia’s bullying\, Julia was sent to detention before class ended. After class\, we were going to head back to the dorms when Emy tapped our shoulders and said “Hi Hea-won\, hi Athena! By the way\, I’ve been learning about the Korean language\, and I understand why you said that\, she deserved it.” “I can teach you more if you want” Hea-won replied\, “REALLY??” Emy was so excited that she took us out to dinner.
