Episode 2

Mai POV

"Sleeping again?" I asked Kenji

"Hmph" I looked away and looked at the window instead

"Mai, want to eat first? The teacher isn't here yet we have free time" Jia said, as always she's with Gail and Faith

"There're new lipsticks, the shade is super pretty!" Gail shouted and showed it to us

"Oh, Mai let's hang out later!" Jia said,

"Sure" I answered

"You'll pick up us, right?" Faith asked,

"Of course!" I replied with a smile then they left. My smiled was gone and looked at the window again

"Still hanging out with them, huh?" Kenji asked that made me flinch

"You know that they're using you , right?" Kenji added that made me fake a smile

"Of course, I know. At least I have friends" I said

"Better to put a word 'fake' in there" He said

"Then, will you become my friend instead?" I asked with a smile

"No" he coldly answered and left

It's lunch break and I left to buy food.

After getting the food, I sit down at an empty table. I started to eat and saw our teacher for English

"G-Good afternoon" I greeted her

"Good afternoon. Now, eat. Stay healthy, Mai" the teacher said

"I-I will! You too!" I stood up and bowed before I answered, she left and stayed in that position because of other students whispering about me

"I heard her grade in English is high"

"Maybe she's giving them money?"

"Really? She's paying them money to pass?"

"How nice to be rich" that's what I heard. I ignored them and sat down, and eat again. While eating a box of milk was placed at my table. I looked up and saw Kenji walking away. My heart beats faster and feels okay again

When I came back, I saw Kenji looking at the window. I sit down at my chair and smiled

"Thank you for the milk!" I said

"That's not enough" he said without looking at me

"How about I buy you something too?" I said

"There's a new action movie. I have two tickets, since there's new romance movie too, they made it buy one take one" he explained

"What? Action movie? We can watch the romance movie instead" I complained

"I'll ask anyone else"

"No!! Let's watch it!!"

"In front of the movie theater, 4 p.m."

While walking, I called Jia too, and she answered it quickly

"Where are you?" Jia asked

"Sorry, I can't today" I said

"You'll annoy Kenji again, yes?"

"B-bingo hehe" I answered

"Fine. Go with that weirdo" she said and hung up exactly when I'm in front of the movie theater

"Kenji!!!" I shouted while waving my hand, when I get close to him he entered the theater immediately

"Kenji?"

"Don't shout my name again" he coldly said

"O-okay"
