Finally, it was time for some introduction. The girl introduced herself as Cui Ting. She thanked Yi Rong and was about to leave as if she was in some kind of rush. At that moment Yi Rong just wished that she had packed a cuter shirt that day, but anyways Cui Ting was the kind who could make a boring shirt look like a trendy outfit. Thankfully, before leaving she asked Yi Rong for her number so that she could contact her after she'd had it washed. Yi Rong was more than happy to give her number to this enchantress. Yi Rong recited her number and Cui Ting punched the digits into her phone. Yi Rong just hoped that she would actually call her. It took Yi Rong a second to realize that Cui Ting had her hand out, looking for a handshake. Yi Rong returned it, hoping that her palms weren't sweaty. And the gorgeous lady gave her one last piece of advice to her: To not offer any stranger to get into the backseat of the car; it definitely sounded like one had some bad intentions. Yi Rong was kind of embarrassed but the smile of Cui Ting convinced her that Cui Ting wasn't suspicious of her anymore. Cui Ting guessed that she was almost of the same age as Yi Rong and asked her about her high school. Yi Rong was caught off guard by the fact that she asked, but she told her the school she was attending and asked Cui Ting about her school. Cui Ting replied that she was home-schooled. Yi Rong noticed Cui Ting's glance at her watch and she knew that the conversation was coming to an end. After this short magical meetup, they finally bid adieu to each other, wishing that they would see each other around often. Yi Rong watched her walk away, then let out a deep breath that she didn't realize she was holding.
Of course, besties needed to know about this meetup, so here we are. Yi Rong met up with her besties Gao Qi and Sun Guo. Both of them were excited that their school was starting tomorrow. On the other hand, Yi Rong was the only one who was not at all excited about school. No one understood why would Yi Rong hate it there. Everyone at school loved her. But Yi Rong couldn't be her true self there. Not that it mattered I guess, since she couldn't even ask a girl out anyways… Well, she asked Long Dandan out. Once. Long Dandan was a wound not to mention about. Well, it wasn't Yi Rong's fault that Long Dandan turned out to be a total bitch. I guess we all get turned down sometimes. Even popular hotties like Yi Rong.
Yi Rong finally told them about your run-in with Cui Ting, and they convinced her to ask her out when she called Yi Rong about the shirt. Yi Rong spent the rest of the day hanging out with them, and by the time she got home she was ready to sleep. As she went to sleep, she could see Cui Ting's face before she finally drifted off.
--- NEXT DAY---
Yi Rong couldn't believe that it was the first day of school already. The summer went by way too fast. It was time to get dressed and out the door. She decided to go with some vintage look: Hair braided, wearing a cute light blue top paired with a lavender skirt and knee highs. That outfit was like a hundred bucks, but being cute was priceless.
As she entered the school, she thanked her stars since had got most of her classes with Gao Qi and Sun Guo this year; that would make things easier. But she had used up her luck. She ran straight into Long Dandan. Ugghhh making small talk with that bitch was way too torturous. On top of being a bitch she was homophobic too. Since Yi Rong clearly wasn't enjoying the conversation, Long Dandan reminded her to no one in the school should find out that Yi Rong was GaY or she won't be popular anymore. And to add up to her kind words she wished to be friends with Yi Rong. Yi Rong snapped that she didn't care about being popular and warned Long Dandan that if she wanted to be friends with her, she had to stop sending mixed signals. Yi Rong walked away from her locker and headed to class before Long Dandan could say anything else. Things were awkward enough with her already.
