Time went by, it's been a week in Country Y.

As usual, I went for a walk. I also met Yu Ryu and his dog.

This time I was little used to Kuma. I let it sit on  my lap.

"It sure does love you".

" Cut off that line. How can a dog and I be a relationship ", I spoke angrily.

" Ha ha, that's so childish of you? ", Yu Ryu.

I glared at him.

" Take your dog".

I got up and walked back home. I some times think of keeping some distance from him will be good as his jealous fans won't disturbed me especially those in my class.

[At school]

The same thing happened again. I came back to my seat after buying a drink. Then, this girls came and rounded me up.

If it was one or two, I could have dealt with them but there were almost six of them. It was better not to rebelled against them.

"Hey, you bitchy girl. You even seduce, Yu Ryu".

I didn't answer. What's the point to debating over a meaningless girls' fight over a boy.

One of them were about to slap me. That moment I thought of stopping her. But her hand didn't reach me.

It was blocked by our class president, Kui Graxy.

"Hey! You shouldn't bully others", she glared at them.

Quickly seeing her, they went back to their seats. Maybe, they feared her because she was the class president.

" Did you get hurt? ", she looked worried.

" Yes, I am okay ".

I am so shocked that someone in my class would be that nice or worried about me.

" My name is Kui Graxy. It might be late to say, but let's be friends. I didn't know how to approach to you earlier ", said giving me the warmest smile I received after days.

{Yi Liu was happy that she was able to find a friend. Maybe because, it has been days since she met someone who treated her good expect Yu Ryu.}

During break time, I was always alone. But today, I wasn't. Kui Graxy came to sit with me. She was really good and I haven't met any of my friends for days. I didn't even got to text them much since their exams was near the corner.

" It's nice knowing you, those girls who mistreated are really bad. You are so beautiful and I am drawn to pretty ", with her beaming smile.

" I think most of their reasons were Yu Ryu. They are just jealous of you being close to him and most of them a rich. They treat people by their status, horrible, right?", she glanced at me and smiled again, " By the way, are you close to him or know him".

"Nothing special, he saved me once and we usually meet in our morning walks", I replied finishing my lunch.

Her little face glowed up.

" So, you go on morning walks. I also, let us meet and go together tomorrow ".

" Fine", I smiled back.

[Next morning]

We met each other at the place where both of us agreed to meet upon and began our walks, chatting and talking happily.

After some time, as usual, seeing me Kuma came jumping happily to me and stopped by me swinging it's little furry tail, like it was asking for me to pick it up. It looked at Kui Graxy and gave a defensive hiss.

"Whose filthy dog is this! Go away! ", she said with pure disgust.

I clawed down to pick Kuma giving her a confused look.

It was visible that Kuma was a well kept dog. It's white fur glowed in the morning light. It was also easy to know that it was kinda spoiled due to the well upbringing.

Seeing her behavior, Kuma got closer to me as the little dog was scared.

Just then,

"Kuma, Don't run off like that! "

It was Yu Ryu. Seeing Kuma with me, he gave a sigh of relieved.

"Is this your dog? It's so cute", she looked a Yu Ryu and went near to the dog smiling.

But Kuma stood beside me and barked to scared her off.

" Kuma, you shouldn't scared others ", Yu Ryu picking Kuma up as he saw the the little creature uncomfortable.

It hid behind his arms.

" I am Liu's friend, Kui Graxy. It's a pleasure to meet you ", shyly.

I saw her drastic behavior change, maybe she shy after all. Most of the girls are when they see Yu Ryu.

Contrasting to her, Yu Ryu just gave a quick nod without looking at her. He was comforting Kuma and instead of giving Kui Graxy his attention.
