Tears rolled down in the thoughts that nobody wanted me . Once in a while, everyone get depressed about things going on in their life.

I bumped someone in front of me. I didn't look up but just apologized and tried to walk away.

"Why are you crying? ", stopped me by my shoulder.

Like I said earlier, it was Yu Ryu who just keep showing up every time after some things had happened.

" Nothing ", with my head down.

He stared at me and spoke,

" For the earlier incident, I didn't meant to say like that. I am sorry about that", he stopped for a while, "Are you sad about that? ", with some hesitation.

" No, it's not about that", I tried to walked away.

"Then why? "

"Can't you mind your business and keep quiet. Can't I get upset once in a while!"

" I won't until you tell me the reason you are upset about ", with a tone of seriousness.

" What a boy! ", I thought.

After all, it was a funny thing to get upset over schooler's fight. I let out of my frustration while narrating some part of  the incident.

" Just for that you are wasting your tears".

I was about get up and punch him.

" Right, don't cry for fake people ", he turned giving me a confronting grin.

He stood up and held my hand and began to walk.

" Where are we going? ", I enquired.

" Just wait ".

There was a small hill behind the school campus. We began to walked towards the summit of it.

I started to panicked. I also realised that were holding our hands, I blushed.

" Wait! Why the hell is he taking up to the hill. What is he thinking? Should I run away?! "

I forgot the hands holding things. I was about break off and run away.

He stopped.

I looked up terrified.

We reached the top. On there, stood was a very old willow tree bending with its numerous leaves. From there I could looked down the scenes below. And with the evening breeze, it was just breathtaking.

"Isn't it pretty? "

"Yes", I answered without hesitation, lose in the view.

" Well, when I feel down or tired, I usually come up here. It never fails to make me feel good ", he looked at Yi Liu.

" It does ".

I looked around for a while. My bad mood was lifted up.

"By the way, I want to tell you something".

" Yes".

He kept silent for a while.

"Yi Liu, would you be my girl friend? ", he said softly.

" Stop teasing me. I am not in a good mood".

I didn't turn back as if I was still looking around. Like, how could I turned back. I could even the redness on my face.

I know he meant it. Like, he never says pointless things or go back on his words.

But I can't turned back. Were was my usual audacity? I have experience confessions many times. Damn, Liu you fool! Maybe because I like him. I usually thought, I like him as other girls was. But...

" Liu, I am serious. I had like you from the beginning but I was late to realize it".

"Stop! I will blow up like a ballon", in my little mind.

With my silence,

" It's okay if you don't like it. I don't want to push you. We can be still fri... ", before he could finish.

" Yes, I agreed to date you! ", I raised up my voice and turned back. I didn't like where his confession was about to turned to friends.

I swear that I looked like a tomato at that moment.

He looked startled for a while and chuckled.

" What are you laughing at? ", annoyed.

I took out everything to answer that and he laughed.

" Sorry, I can't help. You looked so cute ".

It even flushed me more. How can he be so good at flirting?

I sat down taking in the fresh air for quiet a long time. He stood there waiting for me. He didn't spoke anymore cause he knew I was tired enough.

[At home]

After lunch lunch with my grandmom, I ran straight to my room and rolled on my bed.

"Seriously, I dating someone right now. A human not fictional ! Damn ".

At the side of my bed, Timmy was kept. I picked it up.

" Liu, I am serious. I had like you from the beginning but I was late to realize it".

I remembered that line and blushed again and again

"Hey dummy Liu! Don't make thought in the clouds. I could see what faces those girls will make if they know thatvwe are dating", I giggled and turned to Timmy.

" Timmy, will it be ok. My mom gonna kill me if she knows I am dating. And so will Hiles, he will freak out on hearing it. Let me tell Minyu about today ".
