What happened to you?

Then, the school new term started. They were all busy with their new school activities. for the first month, Jayden and Joyce keep contacting each other through short messages but never really see each other. Jay had also never force an answer from Joyce. He realized that Joyce must need more time to think about what she wanted. So he decided to be patient. It didn't mean that their feeling for each other get any lesser. If possible, it became stronger.

Since Joyce had found out about Lily's feeling, in order to protect her from getting hurt, Joyce tried to cover it up. She also didn't dare to talk about it with Jayden. She hoped that she'll find a way to solve this problem fast so that Lily won't get hurt.

Lily was sitting on her desk, busily writing and rewriting something on a piece of paper. However, each time she wrote something halfway, she would re-read the whole thing again and found it dissatisfying and would tore the paper and re-wrote everything from scratch again.

Looking up from the book that she was reading, Joyce looked at Lily and asked, "What are you busy with?"

"Confession letter!. I'm trying to write letter to Jayden to confess my feeling. But it's soo hard!!!" Lily looked disheartened while re-read her paper again.

"!!!!" Oh... My.... God... What should I do! Feeling a rising panic inside her. She lost her concentratio on her book. Looking at Lily, Joyce suddenly noticed there were two trail of blood coming out from her nose!

"Lily! You have nose-bleeding!" Joyce jumped out fro. her seat, quickly grabbed a piece of tissue and run to Lily and quickly wiped the blood and pressed her nose to stop the bleeding.

"Why do you nose-bleed so easily lately?" Joyce asked Lily.

"I don't know. Perhaps we have so many things to do lately that my body was exhausted." Lily reasoned.

"You should take more care of your body and health!" Joyce suddenly felt annoyed but relieved at the same time.

"Sleep! Rest Now! You can try the letter tomorrow...!" Joyce ordered Lily.

"Yes! Maam!" Lily made an action of salutation to Joyce, grinning sheepishly while still pressing her nose and went to lie down immediately.

Satisfied Joyce went to rest too.

Two weeks latee, It was the weekend, Lily and Joyce decided to watch a movie. So both of them dressed up in their usual way. Joyce in shirt and baggy jeans with an ankle boots that screamed masculinity, Lily in floral patterned dress that screamed feminism and lady-like. Both of them were like Yin and Yang, Black and White, totally the opposite of each other but they truly complete each other.

Then Joyce saw a red bruised on Lily's shoulder since she was wearing a spaghetti strap dress.

"Did you hit yourself?" Joyce asked Lily worriedly.

"Huh? No.. I didn't. Why?" she tried to see what Joyce was seeing but to no avail.

"You have quite a bruised here..." Joyce gently touched the reddish mark on Lily's shoulder. "Is it painful?" Joyce asked while looking at Lily.

"I don't feel anything..." Lily replied confusedly.

"Strange... Be careful okay? You have extremely fair skin, so a bruised can be easily seen..." Joyce reminded Lily and applied some balm to her bruised.

"Yeah... Thanks babe! You are the best!"

"You just realized that?" Joyce said teasingly.

They both laughed boisterously and went out.

After the movie, both went window shopping for fun. They may have limited fund as a student, but they won't stop themselves from appreciating the beautiful things in life.

At the famous Japanese Brand Bookshop, both Lily and Joyce was standing... reading books available on the shelves. They both were choosing which books to read when suddenly a drop of blood fell onto the book that Lily's holding!

"Lily! You nose-bleed again!" Joyce quickly searched for a piece of tissue and gave it to Lily "Why do you nosebleed so frequently lately.?"

"I don't know!" Lily looked up while pressing her bleeding nose, trying to stop the blood from flowing.

"Stop sleeping so late at night.. I don't know what you are sooooo busy with. You should take good care of your body!" Joyce started to scold her out of concern for her best friend.

"Hehehe... Sorry... I will rest well these few days, okay?" Lily the pout her mouth and give an air-kissing sound to appease her worry.

"Let's go buy some vitamins for your body at the pharmacy. You should increase your body's immunity and strength!" Joyce started to think of what to do to help Lily gets better health. "has your bleeding stop?" Joyce looked at Lily anxiously.

"I think so.." Lily stop pressing and released her nose. "I don't think...."

Before she could stop talking, Joyce was glaring at her fiercely. "I said we go buy you some vitamins"

Raising both of her hands, Lily said,"Chill out... Okay... Let's go...!!!" the she hug one of Joyce's arm and pulled her to the nearest pharmacy...
