The school holidays have ended and now Yumi is getting ready to go to school.
"For mom" (cheek peeking).
"By honey, let's have breakfast first".
Ana prepared a simple soup and other companion meals for the two of them to have breakfast this morning, as she was too busy lately so she only provided packaged meals and did not have time to cook.
"Well, mom", Yumi started eating her food quietly.
But no matter how long he frowned and looked at his mother for a moment and immediately finished his meal.
after finishing breakfast, Yumi helps her mother clean the dining table.
" It's your lunch box, I'm sorry I didn't have time to cook again today so just eat potluck, is that okay? ", Ana said as she handed over her son's lunch box.
" Of course mom, don't worry, I will eat whatever mommy has prepared for me" Yumi replied with a beautiful smile.
"Darling, I saw that you didn't finish your drink, even if you just tasted it a little if you didn't touch it again, what's the bad taste? is it too sweet? or no taste at all? ".
" That's so good, but mom can I ask you something ?".
" Oh dear what's wrong, is there something wrong with the food, I think when eating it is fine", asked Ana with a worried face.
"Did mom add milk to her drink? "
"Yes, not fruit juice will taste better when added fresh milk in it, the mother heard it from one of the patients in the hospital, and when you try it, it does taste better on the tongue"
"But mom, did mommy forget that I was allergic to dairy products? ", asked Yumi and her face looked very worried as she looked at the female figure before her.
"............"
Yumi starts to feel strange, because lately her mother often forgets the small things she used to do.
In his heart he wondered what really happened to his mother, even these days he felt that his mother was starting to avoid him.
During these two weeks too, his mother often went home late at night and of course he knew it because every time his mother came home he would always pretend to fall asleep on the TV roar.
He also knew that his mother always apologized when she kissed him at that time.
He certainly had asked his mother, but his mother always switched their conversation to something else and it made him feel annoyed and frustrated.
Now he really felt lonely and could only meet his mother in the morning and that he could only have breakfast together.
But he was grateful that he could still eat with his mother and no longer wanted to ask the reason for her change.
"Sorry mom forgot that important thing dear", Ana lowered her head and felt uneasiness in her heart.
But Yumi did not mind that anymore, maybe her mother is so tired at this time that often forget the small things.
Yumi immediately hugged her mother and comforted her.
"Mom, Yumi left first huh. Bye mommy muach.(kissing her mother's cheek)".
"Don't forget your lunchbox".
"It's in mom's bag".
.....
Yumi walked out of the apartment with a full of vigor and a beautiful smile, her long hair down, now blown away by the wind, adding beauty to her face.
Not to forget he also greeted the guards and also the other apartment residents he met in the yard, some people returned his greetings kindly but there were also those who only put a flat face on him.
He walked to the Bus Stop and waited for the bus that had a route to his school, usually the bus destination will arrive at 07.10 am and now he still has 5 minutes until the bus arrives.
"Ayumi.", a man's voice was heard calling out to her.
hearing someone call his name he reflexively turned to look for the origin of the sound but did not see anyone who showed someone calling him, he said, but only 2 women nearby are busy with their mobile phones.
"is it just my hallucination? "
Soon the bus arrives and Yumi gets on the bus. He sat in the back seat of the only remaining one, as the passengers began to fill up.
Arriving at school Yumi goes to the library first before entering the class.
He read several books on the nervous system and psychology so seriously that he did not feel the sound of the bell in.
Yumi immediately put the books back in place and ran towards her classroom, but in the school corridor she accidentally bumped into someone and made them both fall.
"uughhh, sorry-sorry I'm in a hurry".
Yumi immediately ran towards the classroom without seeing the person's face.
the person who was hit by Yumi just looked at the back of the girl who started to disappear.
the figure stood up and stepped away towards the headmaster's room.
Yumi arrived at the classroom door with a gasp of breath.
he then looked into the classroom and it turned out that his teacher had not arrived, it certainly made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Haaah (sighs).Luckily Mr. Han has not come".
He went in and sat down in his chair by the window. Somehow he liked the place so much and made it feel calm when the morning sun hit his body.
He took out some books and continued reading the book he had borrowed in the library earlier, while waiting for his teacher to arrive.
About 15 minutes passed and while still reading the book, Yumi was a little curious because usually Mr. Han who was always on time it would come too late.
Not long after, the man who was waiting arrived and brought a boy with him.
The students who were chatting and some were busy with their cell phones immediately stood up saluting their teacher.
"Good morning, please sit down"
"Who is he, so handsome"
"Hey, doesn't his face look like a Hollywood movie player"
"It seems I've seen it, but where is it..."
"She's my type, and I'm gonna make her my girlfriend"
The mood of the class broke when the students saw the boy, but was soon overpowered by Mr. Han.
The classroom was calm again and the students sat in an orderly manner.
Now they stared full of question marks and were curious to see a foreign figure in front of them, but no one dared to ask their famous fierce teacher.
Seeing the classroom atmosphere that had calmed down again, Mr. Han immediately opened his voice.
"Today, the school arrivals students from the student exchange program and during these 6 months he will be in our classroom. All right, kid, introduce yourself to your new friend".
"Me meet Joe Alensky, I'm from England. Nice to meet you guys"
Joe stared one by one at the faces of his friends and his gaze stopped on the face of the girl who hit him earlier in the corridor.
The female disciples who saw Joe's gaze fixed on Yumi were now filled with envy and became even more resentful of the nerdy girl.
According to them, what a good look of the girl and feel themselves no less beautiful than Yumi.
Yumi herself who had gotten a sharp and hateful look from them could only let out a long sigh.
'What else this time', muttered Yumi who instantly turned her gaze out the window.
Yumi is used to getting bad treatment from her classmates and that makes her alone in class and has no friends because no one wants to talk to her.
Yumi also had no idea what was wrong with her in their eyes.
He only thinks maybe because his status is not from a prominent family so that no one wants to be friends with himself who does not even have a father and is stamped as an illegitimate child by some people.
But Yumi did not think too much about it, the goal now is how he must be a successful person and be able to make a lot of money, so his mother does not need to be too hard in working anymore.
After introducing himself, Mr. Han immediately told him to sit on the chair opposite Yumi.
Not much to ask, Joe immediately sat down at the place in question and looked at the girl who hit him earlier.
Classes are quiet until the break bell rings.
The students immediately left the class for lunch in the cafeteria but not with Yumi. He used to bring lunch from home prepared specifically by his mother.
There were also some female students who began to approach Joe to get acquainted and wanted to take him to lunch together.
But Joe's reaction and response made the girls upset and stared intently at Yumi before leaving the classroom.
On the other hand without realizing the sharp gaze, Yumi began to enjoy her lunch, when she opened the lunch box she had frowned when she saw the contents inside.
"Mommy must be so tired that she forgot to put the rice".
Inevitably yumi only eat vegetables and side dishes without rice to prop up his stomach.
Actually, he could have eaten the bagin sekola but he did not want to waste the efforts that his mother had done.
Unexpectedly, Joe suddenly approached her and surprised her and it made Yumi choke.
"Why is a pretty girl like you eating alone" said Joe patting Yumi on the shoulder and watching the contents of Yumi's lunch box.
"Ohuk.uhuk...."
Yumi immediately picked up her bottle of drinking water and drank it slowly.
*gluc.. gluc...
After feeling his throat relieved, he immediately turned his head and glared at Joe who was next to him.
"It's none of your business"
"Hey, here's your attitude to the guy you hit, and I'll pull my words saying you're a pretty girl. You even look like a weird girl now, where you've been bumping into people just running away"
Yumi frowned and tried to remember the incident.
So afraid of being late to class and angry with Mr. Han, he forgot about the incident.
"Ah, that was you. I'm sorry about that, I was really inadvertent because I was in a hurry. And didn't I apologize before I left".
"It's okay to forget that, and why you're just eating alone here, you don't have any friends"
'Pretty good people', inner Yumi.
He did not answer the question and continued his lunch in a relaxed manner.
Joe who noticed the girl was silent, he could draw the conclusion that his conjecture was correct, if the girl really did not have a friend.
Joe just stared meaningfully at the girl in front of him, until the sound of a phone call on his phone rang up.
He immediately went out of class to receive the call.
Yumi who saw the departure of the new disciple only glanced at him for a while then continued her lunch back.
"Based on a freak".
.......
Yumi, who had now finished her lunch, continued reading the book she had borrowed until the next subject teacher arrived.
At exactly 01:00 noon the bell rang. One by one the students start to leave the school including Yumi.
He walks towards the Bus Stop but is followed by Joe from behind.
Knowing the new student was following him, he suddenly stopped suddenly and it made Joe hit him from behind.
"Why are you following me ? ".
"Hey, who wants to follow you. It just so happens that we are unidirectional and why did you stop suddenly..aaww.
"Basic stalker"
"You..."
Joe could only hold back against the strange behavior of this girl before him.
Until they arrived at the Bus Stop and a few seconds later the bus arrived.
The people who were waiting from earlier immediately entered the bus including Joe and Yumi also lined up to enter.
The bus arrived at the next stop not far from Yumi's apartment.
Yumi immediately got off the bus and Joe also followed behind.
They both walked into the apartment gate. Yumi stopped suddenly.
But because the distance between Joe and Yumi is not too close as before, it does not make Joe hit the back of Yumi who stopped suddenly.
"Why do you still follow me now, do you have no home and do you have nothing else to do but be a stalker" Yumi snapped and made people turn their heads.
Yumi was annoyed by the behavior of the new student who continued to follow her from school until now.
Joe raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly at the innocence of the girl before him.
"I told you, I'm not following you, I live in this apartment"
*blush
Instantly Yumi's face flushed red and held the shame on her face. He immediately ran away leaving the boy.
Joe himself who saw the behavior of the girl was only speechless to see the girl's sudden departure.
"what's wrong with her, you weird girl"
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
