I woke up and found myself in the school infirmary.

"Are you okay? "

It was the doctor there.

"Ugh... I'm fine".

I remembered some girls bullying me and being saved by a boy whom they called the most handsome boy in the school.

I was told the girls were called up and without further notice, I came home.

How I wished for someone to pick me up but no one came and I had to walked all by myself.

" Young miss, what happened? You are injured ", Butler Wu asked worriedly.

" It's all because of the punishment. I fell down on my way back and hurt my knees. If you had send someone to pick me up, this won't have happened ", cried and acted to be cute so she could buy him in trusting what she said and tell her parents.

" I'm awfully sorry about that but in my view, falling while walking. You need to walk more to overcome that", he told her pulling up his spectacles.

He helped her to her room and asked her if she she had anything she wanted to eat that evening.

[Next day, early morning]

"I can't sleep at all. Maybe, I should go out for a walk. Yesterday incident disappointed me a lot about myself. It's was just a push but I went down flying".

I got ready and went out.

On my way, I was thinking of thanking the boy who saved me yesterday.

And maybe luck was on my side, I saw him.

"What was his name?... Yu.... Yu Ryu! "

I ran up to him and called out his name.

He turned back looking around.

Without any word, I straight up said,

"Thank you for yesterday".

He stood looking at me for a while.

" Oh! It's you who got hurt by some girls yesterday.

It's okay. By the way, how are you? "

"I am good thanks to you".

Just then a little dog came near to me which I didn't know, sniffed me and began to bark swinging it's tail.

I almost pass out. I'm actually scared of dogs whether big or small.

" Please, can you take it away from me".

My legs were literally shaking. Yu Ryu saw it and picked it up.

"There is nothing to be scared off. Look! It is saying that it likes you", showed me the dog.

I was petrified to hear that the creature whom I am most afraid of likes me. I was about to faint. So dramatic, right?

Seeing how she behave it took no time for him to understand.

"Are you afraid of dogs? "

"Yes! ".

But in my mind,

" You dumb boy. It's common sense as I'm trembling this much".

He smiled at me.

"It's name is Kuma

      Kuma say hello", he picked up it paw.

" Woof! "

Oh goshh! I am done. This is too much , hearing the bark of a dog.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Did I went to far moving the dog a bit away?! "

Yes, and I almost punched you. But seeing his worried face and the innocent face made by the little white dog brought me to a little laughter.

"No no! I just a bit scared to all dog, that's all".

He showed me a breath of relievement and gave a smile.

" Cough, cough. I'm getting late. I will be going ", I said and left.

" Liu, why are you laughing. You are the only daughter of the owner of EN. You should not be easily interacting with others",this words ran through her mind as she returned back home, getting ready for school

{Maybe, she was letting go off her spoiled self. }
