The next day, Yumi and Jin met in the garage but they just ignore each other.
Yumi was about to ride in her car when she remembered something, " Mr. Sebastian," She called Jin.
Jin stopped in his track, he turned to Yumi and spoke, " Yes, Young Miss?"
"I just want you to know, that you don't have to come to the study room starting tonight," Yumi said.
Jin just looked at Yumi,
"I won't need you anymore, I just realized that I can pass and move up to the senior high without your help," She said and then she rode in her car.
Jin stayed still to where he is standing.
'Isn't it good?'
'You don't have to be near her anymore, you can finally avoid seeing her!' He said to himself.
----------
Yumi was silent the entire morning during the class.
She just wants to concentrate on the lessons, she will show to that arrogant Jin that she can make it to the senior high without his help!
Yumi decided to eat alone during lunch and she went to her favorite restaurant.
Because it's lunchtime, the restaurant was almost full when she arrives there are only few vacant tables left.
Yumi found a vacant table on the corner and she chose to sit there, but as soon as she sat, there is also someone else sat n the chair opposite her!
Yumi was not able to react instantly because the waiters approach them to give them the menu.
Yumi took the menu and so the guy in front of him.
She discussed her order to the waiter and so the guy in front of her.
Yumi looked at the guy again when the waiters left. She froze when she saw that familiar face!
The boy looked like at the same age as her, he has that spiky style hair. He has a foxy eye, his nose isn't that sharp but it wasn't that small either, it was just perfect for the shape of his eyes his lips and his face, he is still considered as handsome and he seems gentle tho!
"Uh, I'm sorry, there's no more available table left, and I see that you're alone here, so, can I just join you?" The guy asked Yumi when he notices her looking at him, but Yumi just looks at him.
"I promise, I won't disturb you," He said.
"I can't transfer anywhere because most of the restaurants in the area are full. I'm afraid I'm gonna be late for school." Yumi's gaze fell on the guy's clothes.
He is wearing a school uniform in another private school.
The guy's phone rang inside his bag. The guy shoved his hand inside his brown leather sling bag, and Yumi was reminded of something as soon as she saw that bag!
'Ah! No wonder this guy seems familiar!'
Yumi waited for the guy to finish his conversation with the other line.
"So, it was you," Yumi said as soon as the guy put back his phone on his bag.
"Huh?!" The guy looked at Yumi with confusion.
"Don't you remember me?" Yumi raised her brows.
The guy looked at Yumi for a few seconds, and then his confuse look slowly changed into a surprise!
"Ah! It was you!" The guy said and then he looked down into his bag.
"I'm glad you still remember me," Yumi said sarcastically.
The guy smiled which made his eyes into a crescent shape, " Of course! Who could forget the beautiful gangster?"
Yumi can't help but roll her eyes.
"Hey, are you trying to flatter me?" She asked sternly.
"Nope!" The guy replied, " I guess I don't have to try flattering you because I am certain that you already know that you're beautiful!" The guy added.
Yumi just rolled her eyes again, 'This guy is surely a playboy!'
"Do you still want this bag?" The guy said as he lifted his bag.
"I will give this to you in exchange for your name,"
"Tsss!" Yumi scoffed.
" I don't need that bag anymore, and could you stop acting cool, because you're not!" Yumi said, annoyed!
"Ouch!" The guy touched his chest as if he was hurt by Yumi's word.
"That hurts!"
Yumi raised her brows, " If I were you, I should shut my mouth up otherwise, I will throw you out of this restaurant."
The guy smiled again, " Uh... You're too brave to throw me away," He said.
Yumi just throws the guy her sharp gaze which made him shut his mouth.
After a while, their orders came. They eat silently without bothering each other.
Yumi called the waiter for the bill, but the guy suddenly spoke, " Let me pay for the bill," He said.
"No need, I can afford to pay for mine," Yumi refuse.
"Nah! Consider it as my apology gift after snatching this bag from you," The guy said.
"No, I going to pay for mine," Yumi said as she gave her card to the waiter,
"You can pay a double amount to yours if you want to," Yumi suggested.
She took her wallet and pull a card and she gave it to the waiter.
"Ha!" The guy let out a soft laugh. He gave his own card to the waiter for his payment.
"They were right, the Young Miss of the Alcantaras is such hard to please," The guy said with a faint smile on his face when the waiter left.
Yumi looked at the guy suspiciously, " How did you know about me?"
"Who wouldn't know you, Miss Yumi Alcantara?"
"You are popular of causing trouble in the City," The guy said.
Yumi twitched her mouth, "Whatever!" She said.
Just then, the waiter came to get their signature and to give back their cards.
Yumi took her card after she signed. She then got up from her seat to leave the place, but the guy suddenly spoke again, " I am Troy Monterde, anyway"
"Whatever!" Yumi mumbled and then she walks out of the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Dimitry entered the private room of the restaurant with his secretary behind him.
Evo was about to enter the private room too when he noticed a familiar silhouette of a girl.
'Isn't that the Young Miss?' He asked himself and then his gaze fell to the familiar guy who is still sitting in front of the table.
He knew the guy who has eaten with the Young Miss.
'I didn't know that they knew each other, are they dating?' Evo asked himself again.
"Evo!" Evo snapped back to his senses when Mr. Alcantara called him.
"Yes, sir! I'm coming!" He said and then he followed inside.
------
In the afternoon, Yumi is at the bacony, she silently watches Jin who is watering the plants.
Until now, she couldn't figure out why he suddenly changed his behavior towards her. She doesn't care even if the whole world will ignore her before, but why it is different now?
Especially when it comes to Jin?
Why is she hurting inside?
She felt like she couldn't breathe!
And her biggest question is...
Why is she hurting inside when Jin treated her coldly?
"You need someone to talk to?"
Yumi turned her head when Alicia suddenly spoke behind her.
"Why do you always pop out of nowhere?!" Yumi asked sarcastically.
"I saw you in deep thought, and you seem lonely, I just thought, you need someone to talk to," Alicia replied.
"Even if I need someone to talk to, it wouldn't be you," Yumi said, and then she turned to leave.
Alicia was hurt withYumi's word, but she did not mind it, how will she create a bond between them if she gives up that easily?
"I am a woman, I've been there," Alicia suddenly spoke.
"I've been into a situation like where you are now, " She added.
Yumi stopped in her track and she turned her head to Alicia.
Alicia revealed a soft smile, " Something is bothering you," She said.
Yumi did not reply, she just looked at Alicia.
"Is there someone makes your heart flutter and you're confused why you feel that way every time you see him?"
"How did you know that?" Yumi asked with her knitted brows,
'Can she read my mind?'
"As I've said earlier...I've been there," Alicia replied.
Yumi tilted her body to face Alicia, "Then..." Yumi paused and she throws Alicia a doubtful look.
"What does it mean if I feel like that to that person?" She asked.
Alicia walks closer to Yumi, she carries her hair as she spoke, "That means..."
"You have a special feeling for that person," Alicia replied.
"Ha!" Yumi let out a soft laugh, " That's ridiculous!" She said and then she walks away.
*Sighs!*
Alicia sigh!
'You're so naive when it comes to love, baby girl.' she mumbled inside.
