After a sleepless night. I got up and went out for a while.

As usual, I met Yu Ryu who waved at me with a smile. I was so embarrassed and shy that I almost ran away. But little Kuma came running to me. But how can I blame such a cute creature, instead I patted it.

"Kuma really likes you", he said.

" Yes, and I liked him too".

"What about me? "

Hearing it, I looked up at him. I could see him smirking.

"This sly cheesy guy! " I mumbled.

[At school]

During lunch time, something unusual happened. Many looked at the door.

It was Ryu Yu. Seeing me, he waved and gestured me to come out. I went out with many eyes on me.

Both of us had lunch together. I could feel the intensified glares at us while he just continued as nothing happened.

I have to deal with it for having the popular guy as my boyfriend. Who won't want to have lunch with their with the ones they are dating but I was not that happy. I knew what will happen after this that I will have a peaceful lunch but unpleasant moments with the jealous girls for the remaining hours.

"Are you free on this weekend? ", he asked me.

" Um yes, what is it? "

"Do want to go to somewhere.. .. like a date? "

He was asking me out.

"Of course, let's go to the park", I randomly suggested it. I have no experience in dating

He nodded.

I was getting a drink at the vending machine near the side gate. The school hours ended.

Then those demons came near me.

" How dare you to seduce Yu Ryu!"

"Seduce? Do you know what are you even blabbing about?",{ Yi Liu picked up her drink and turned at them coldly. }

" Yes! You seduce him cause you are a bitch? You know the consequences...", and gave me the classical bullying push on my shoulder.

I hit her on her face and hold up her chin tightly.

"Yes, what are you gonna do to me, huh".

" Yi Liu, you don't know who you are messing up with. My father owns... ", before finishing.

" Is that so, then what are you? A leech in your family? Don't you feel ashamed of ruining your family's name over a poor girl like me, if you are that rich? ", I tighten my grips on her chin.

The other girls tried to stopped me but I glared a them which made them back off. I must be looking cool for them to be scare of me.

" You lowlife!",her struggling.

"Are your rich parents that busy that they don't have the time to teach their daughter how to speak like or even to be a human being? All you do is to be jealous and bark. Now, who is the real bitch? Frowning is not beautiful on you, dear", I continued.

" You don't deserve Yu Ryu. He is out off your league... "

"What did you just say?! "

We all turned at the familiar cold tone.

"Yu Ryu! What are you doing here? ", one of them.

The girl that I was holding up suddenly broke free.

" Yu Ryu, see, this girl was beating me", with fake tears.

He glared at her which made her stopped at once. I watched over the scene with low pissed-off vibe.

"I also want to know what were doing to my girl friend", his eyes were cold as ever. I was startled.

" What! Your girlfriend!? ", they began to trembled.

" Yes, if you disturb her again. I won't let you off easily ".

I was surprised to see him behaved like that. It made me so happy to see someone standing up for me after so many days.

" We are very sorry. We didn't know that she was your girl friend. We shall never disturbed her again", they said and quickly disappeared away.

"Are you okay?", he asked at me gently.

I didn't know that his mood could change that fast.

I nodded my head.

Suddenly, I could the beep of a car. Yu Ryu turned back.

" Well, I will be leaving now. You should go back too", he turned to leave.

I suddenly called his name midway. He slightly turned back,

"Thanks for today", I said blushing.

He grinned back.

" Ryu, it's late. We have to reach there by early evening ".

I could faintly hear the voice of a woman, must be his mother.

I stood there smiling, realizing how much I missed my parents and how difficult life was without them.
