Hello My Love's
4. Trying to face it

*Ting..ting...ting.... (incoming bell sound).

Before the bell rang Yumi and Joe were already in class waiting for their teacher's arrival.

The first class starts with physics. And it turns out that today will be an impromptu test from his teacher.

There were some students who looked restless and also who looked ordinary including Yumi and Joe.

"alright. Let's start the exam now and Yumi, please help me share this exam sheet"

Yumi immediately walked to the front of the class to pick up the test file, but her leg suddenly stumbled onto something that made her fall to the floor.

As all the disciples laughed at the incident, they also cheered and even insulted the poor girl.

Seeing this, the teacher immediately took decisive action on his student who made a fuss in the classroom.

"Everybody shut up, Yumi are you okay".

"I'm good".

After confirming the state of the girl. The teacher then threatens anyone who makes another act will be expelled from the class until the exam is completed and will be sentenced to write 1000 characters of discipline as many as 100 sheets.

The class went quiet again and no one dared to open their voices again.

Yumi who knew who made her fall fell down just rolled her lazy eyeballs.

For some reason, today he did not want to argue what else served the person.

The person Yumi was referring to was looking at her with a smile and a disdainful look towards her.

Yumi realized, for the time being, she could not put up a fight on the person because the family background of the disciple was quite powerful and notoriously ruthless. He must be able to be strong and successful first and then be able to avenge all the humiliation that the arrogant rich man did.

Being able to attend this place alone he was very grateful even though, he often got scorn and cynical gazes from the students at school because of his unclear background.

But he did not take a headache about it because he was quite confident in the professionalism of this school

In fact, the rules in the school were quite firm and deeply disciplined all of its students without exception.

Students are required to respect all teachers without exception because any family status does not apply in the school.

The disciples were also forbidden to do anything bad until they bullied the other students. If the school gets such a report. So it is certain that the students who do so will be issued and blacklisted by all schools and universities in the country and many more regulations with consequences that make them afraid.

Because not only the punishment from school they will receive, but the punishment from their families also can not be avoided because it has damaged their own family reputation.

Therefore, all students do not dare to argue and obey all teachers because they are very afraid of the consequences if they violate school rules.

No wonder if the school where Yumi is located gets the best degree in the country.

Not only famous for the achievements achieved by the school to give birth to so many talented students only.

But it is also very famous for its strict discipline to make conglomerate families enter their children into the prestigious school in order to become a figure who can bring better changes in the future and become a successor a family worth being proud of.

Not just anyone can go to school in such a prestigious place.

They must meet several requirements and must pass the selection to their own ability without looking at their family background.

Yumi herself is among the talented and smartest students in second place from the school, so she gets scholarships and freedom from all forms of fees and school facilities that she gets is very easy to access by her.

Therefore, all teachers are very fond of the talent and intelligence of the girl because it is one of their best quality shoots.

Of course, it is not easy for him to get the second best student degree at the school. Because it requires so much effort and struggle that is not easy.

The reason is also not only to get a brilliant future, but also because he does not want to burden his mother with the affairs of his school fees.

He wants to grow into an independent figure who only relies on his own determination and ability and does not rely on the mercy of others even though he knows very well all of these things in the future will not be easy to do.

.....

Yumi tried to stand up and get up from the fall position. When he managed to stand up, he scrunched his forehead feeling a pain in his ankle.

Trying several times to move his sprained leg and the pain began to decrease, he then continued his path to pick up and distribute the exam sheet to his friends.

The exam lasts for 2 hours and is continued with the next subjects until the break arrives.

........

The bell rang, and the students immediately walked out of the classroom but there were also those who remained in the classroom including.

As usual, Yumi ate a special lunch made by her mother in class.

Joe should not be asked, he is currently in the crowd by girls and even students from other classes also come to approach him.

A moment later three female students approach Yumi's desk and begin to disturb her from enjoying her special lunch.

"Hey poor girl, stop eating that junk food, my stomach smells bad"

"True, that's disgusting"

"It's a bitch, even my dog won't eat food like that"

"Hey, don't equate the dogs in our homes with this ****, even the levels are far below the pets in our homes, hahahaaa"

Said the three female disciples to Yumi who was enjoying her lunch. Even one of them threw his lunch box in the trash.

"Hey, give it to me..!!, yelled Yumi.

Yumi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly up to three times and pressed her hands against her shoulders to form like a cross.He tried to calm down and ignored the presence of the three disciples.

He stared at his lunch box from the window that now fell downstairs in their classroom to the trash.

'Ah..my poor lunch. You three do you have nothing else to do but disturb me' muttered Yumi slowly but it can be heard by one of them.

"What you just muttered, huh, do you want to fight us now huh. "

Said the female disciple named Yuna with her evil grin. It grabbed and pulled Yumi's hair until the girl whimpered in pain.

*Plac

A slap landed next to Yuna's cheek. And his hand was held firmly by someone.

"What you're doing, let go. If not, I'll report this to the school's disciplinary division, I'll also spread it in the media".

The person turns out to be Joe who can no longer bear to see Yuna's harsh treatment of Yumi. He also showed footage of the violent actions the girl had done to Yumi.

The flash back on.

*on arrival in class, Joe keeps his eyes on Yumi who is busy reading a book. Until the teacher came and told the girl to hand out the exam sheet.

At that time Joe was still holding a cell phone in his hand and recording the atmosphere of the class and accidentally recorded when Yuna deliberately curled Yumi's leg to make the girl fall to the floor.

At first he did not really take a headache to see Yuna's actions, but when the girl wanted to make a tantrum again. Joe immediately recorded the incident when Yuna and her two friends began to approach the girl's desk and then grabbed the poor girl's hair.

Although in the crowd of female students, but her eyes still watched Yumi, until she finally saw this incident.

Because furious and could no longer bear to see the behavior of the three female disciples who were getting rougher. Joe immediately stopped recording and stopped their abusive actions*.

Flash back off.

Yuna became nervous and pale when she heard the threat. He immediately removed the clutches of his hands from Yumi's hair and left the classroom.

he does not want to bear the consequences if his name is tainted and known by his parents.

"Just wait, I'll make the calculations for you later"

Yumi rolled her eyes lazily when she heard Yuna's words before leaving the classroom.

"Are you okay"

"Thank you, but don't do that again. I can handle it myself"

Without Joe's help, he could have fought back and silenced Yuna and her friend, but he didn't expect Joe to come to his aid.

Yumi sat back down and cleaned up her desk which was quite messy due to the actions of the three female demons just now.

Out of annoyance, Joe returns to his desk and plays the game he has on his phone.

"Based on the strange girl", glanced at Yumi for a moment and then continued playing the game again regardless of the female disciples surrounding her.

The girls were very amazed by how to play Joe and some of them even invited him to compete but still ignored by Joe.

Yumi glanced at him for a moment then shook her head when she saw the young man's reaction to his friends in class.

.......

The break is over and the students have returned to class including Yuna and her two best friends.

The students were waiting for their teacher to arrive while playing their cell phones.

...****************...

*Go back to school bring the nerds to the warehouse behind the school*

^^^*oke, but Yuna what if Joe also follows the nerds it*^^^

*Just calm down, let me take care of that. Your job is to just take those nerds to the warehouse*

^^^*Oke*^^^

...****************...

Yuna sends a message to one of her best friends and saves her phone after the teacher arrives in class.

2 Hours have passed

The class is finally finished and the students leave the class, including Yumi, who is now ready to go home to meet Hana.

He couldn't wait to take the little girl out for a walk with him. For the first time he felt like he was a big brother even for a little while but that was enough for him.

Yumi left the class and walked down the stairs. His path was slightly limping as the pain in his ankle started to feel back.

"Why does it still hurt"

On the ground floor, it turned out that two female students who were none other than Yuna's best friends were waiting for her at the exit of the school building.

Yumi saw their presence now rolling lazily her eyeballs, 'what else now, do you want to play the role? , alright..I will serve you this time' , yumi murmured inwardly, and a little smile on the tip of his lips

Really, actually he was so lazy to serve them because he wanted to go home soon to play with Hana. But it didn't seem like it would go so smoothly considering the two people were waiting for him at the door.

Yumi walked down the stairs and continued walking to the exit without looking and ignoring the two men. He walked quite quickly with limp feet without looking the other way until he reached the school gate.

The two girls who were watching Yumi were somehow distracted by a group of students who suddenly crowded nearby, making them unable to clearly see Yumi's current position.

Yumi's hand was suddenly pulled by someone and upon seeing who it was, it was Joe who pulled his hand until the girl felt pain in her wrist.

"Let go, what are you doing"

"Hey, I said let go....!! "

Joe did not answer and continued to take the girl to the nearby Bus Stop. Right up to them, their destination bus arrives at the same time and Joe immediately takes the girl into the bus without seeing the expression of pain on Yumi's face.

"I said let go. hiish", Yumi grimaced in pain.

After being on the bus, Joe finally wanted to let go of Yumi's hand and turned to look at the girl.

Joe was shocked when he saw Yumi's face grimacing in pain while holding her wrist and standing unsteadily.

"Are you all right".

"What's wrong? why did you pull me that strong, did I stuff you huh". Yumi was angry and glared at the man

Instead of answering, the girl asked back and grumbled indistinctly while enduring pain in her left leg and wrist.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, really.Sit down first I'll explain to you".

Joe advised the girl to sit down because she could not bear to see the face of the girl who seemed to be holding back pain.

Yumi herself did not want to hear the words of the boy just now. He stood still and waited for an explanation from Joe while glaring at him.

"Forget it...."

Yumi looked at Joe with a cynical and sharp look.

"Yumi, listen to me first actually...... ", joe explains the reason for what he did just now, but Yumi is not interested and ignores it.

" Well what? , even if you don't help me I already have my own plan to teach the arrogant girl a lesson" Yumi grumbled.

"But thank you, next time don't involve yourself again, I can take care of everything myself". Yumi let out a long sigh, although she was very grateful with the young man who always helped her and protected her during her time at school, nor can he involve people who have been good to him in the bad things that have happened to him.

Yumi is very worried that the problems she faces will be more complicated and will hurt the people around her, so she starts to vent and face everything herself.

The bus suddenly stopped suddenly as they were arguing and it made the girl's body unprepared to almost fall on her back, but was immediately greeted by Joe and made them both cuddle up.

The gazes of their eyes met and time seemed to stop for a moment until someone's voice resuscitated them.

"What happened, why did it stop suddenly? ", ask one of the passengers on the bus.

" Ah, I'm sorry, there was a cat suddenly passing by, sorry for the inconvenience, we're leaving now" said the bus driver

The awkward atmosphere between them was created and reflexes, Yumi immediately chose to sit in an empty chair nearby but it turns out Joe had occupied it first to make Yumi sit on Joe's lap.

They were both shocked and immediately stood back up. Again the atmosphere became increasingly awkward between the two. Even Yumi's face was getting reddened by the events just now in her nature.

"Ehem (berdehem).you just sit here and I'll sit in the back seat.yes..."

Joe scratched his non-itchy head and immediately sat in the back seat of the bus. Without him noticing, his ears turned red and it could be seen clearly by a middle-aged man sitting next to him, looking at him while giggling.

"Do you like that girl"

"No"

"That's true, but I can see that, even your ears were red when you were hugging"

"........."

"If you like, say like. Don't let you realize it when that girl you can't reach in the future".

The old man advised Joe and let out a heavy sigh, in his eyes seemed a deep longing for someone, before long his eyes glazed over and gazed out the window of the bus.

"I used to love someone, but because of my own ego, I didn't have time to tell my true feelings to the woman I loved, until she left and never came back"

Joe turned his head towards the middle-aged man who was looking out the window. He was stunned to hear the man's words.

He did not know if it was the liking or caring that he felt for the strange girl. He just wanted to protect her because he was a little curious about the life of the girl who was always oppressed by his friends and always alone wherever he met her.

Joe felt that there was no way he liked the girl he had just met a few days ago and every time they met they were always at odds.

Joe looked back at Yumi who was now looking down on the chair in front of him.

"Actually, what kind of life have you been through to keep you aloof like this"

Yumi did not hear the conversation between the two of them because she was too shocked by the incident just now. His face turned red and his hands trembled slightly.

"Haish, you pervert. Why does that person like to appear suddenly near me", grunts in heart.

He did not dare to say a word because he was too embarrassed at this moment. He looked down and used his bag to cover his face.

The bus finally arrived at a stop not far from their Apartment. Joe and Yumi then get off the bus and walk straight to the apartment.

"sorry"

Joe lowered his head and apologized to the girl.

Yumi did not reply and immediately accelerated her limping footsteps leaving Joe.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
