> Me: " Why don't you just.. give up on me? "
> Bi: " GIVE UP?!? hahAhahHAha! never! "
> Me: " WHY! YOU KNOW I'M NEVER GONNA LIKE YOU! "
> Bi: " Why are you so sure? "
> Me: " Ugh! Conceited b*tch. "
> Bi: " Love never gives up! "
> Me: " HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHA!!! "
> Bi: " WHAT? WHY? "
> Me: " You think you LOVE me!??!?!!!?
> AHahahHAhahAHhahHAhahHAHaHAHhahHAHahHAha!! "
> Bi: " It's nice to see you laugh. "
> Me: " -_______-; you killed it.. "
> Bi: " O. SORRY.. "
> Me: " Yeah. Whatever. "
> We walked right into the school main doors.
> Just as I expected, people started to point, whisper, and stare.
> I glanced up at Bi and he acted like everything was normal.
> He kept walking with me.. with that huge smile on his face, nodding every
> time to the people who greeted him.
> He looked so.. *cool as cucumber*.
> " Well.. well.. well.. look whose here. The she/male and .. Bi OPPA! "
> I turned around as well as Bi did.
> We stood facing those three girls.. with Boa in the front, and Bin and Hyori
> next to her.
> Hyori: " Hehe.. Hi Bi oppa!! "
> Bi nodded again.
> Hyori and Bin started giggling and high fiv-ing each other.
> Loosers..
> Boa: " Oppa. Some of us are going to Star Cafe tonight. Wanna come? "
> I watched Boa as she kinda stuck out her hip and gave Bi a sly smile. Her
> LONG brown hair falling naturally down her shoulders.
> Bi: " Oh~~ You mean that new restaurant that opened at 2nd and Serrano??
> DANG! I heard that place was AWESOME! With the food and the band and stuff!
> "Boa smiled wider glanced back at Hyori and Bin who were crossing their
> fingers.
> OmG~ This is SO sick!
> Boa: " Mm Hmm. That awesome restaurant. "
> Bi: " Wow~ COOL! "
> Bi turned around to look at me and smiled.
> Bi: " Let's go! "
> Me: " hah`. NO thanks. I don't wana SELF-INVITE myself. "
> Boa: " Yeah~ No one invited her Oppa. Come on! It's gonna be so much fun! "
> Me: " Yeah BI. JUST GO! "
> Bi: " Hm.. All right. I`ll see you guys there! "
> Boa, Bin, and Hyori beamed and smiled.
> Boa: " See you there at 7~ "
> Bi: " Uh huh. "
> Suddenly.. I got mad. I wasn't sure why.. but somehow, I didn't want Bi to
> go. I was stupidly hoping he would say "no" to them.
> But unfortunately he didn't.
> He chose to go with those stupid faggots.
> Before Bi could notice, I walked away from him.. quietly.. then ran.
> But of course his long legs could never even be compared to mine..
> He eventually caught up to me and grabbed my wrist.
> Bi: " HAHA! TRYNNA DITCH ME AGAIN?? C`mon let me walk you to your homeroom.
> "Me: " I don't need your damn help. I think I can find my class by myself. "
> I pulled my wrist out of his grip and stomped away, but Bi ran and blocked
> me.
> Bi: " Hey! What's wrong?! What did I do!? You didn't seem THIS angry in the
> morning! "
> Me: " Forget it. Your just like the rest of them. Sick and pathethic. Just
> wanting attention.. yea yea. JUST GO WITH THEM. BE LIKE THEM! I DON'T
> CAAAAARE! "
> Bi looked kinda confused for a moment..
> For 5 seconds I stood there glaring at him, and he stood there with wrinkles
> on his forehead.. obviously in the state of confusion.
> And then all of the sudden, Bi started laughing. LOUD.
> The students walking to their homerooms looked at Bi weirdly like he was
> some crazy person.
> Me: " AY! DAMMIT SHUT UP! "
> Bi: " --aAHhahHAHaAAHA Oh gawd~~ whew`! Ruby! Your hilarious! "
> Me: " WHAT?!!? "
> Bi: " YOUR JEALOUS AREN'T YOU!! hehHEHehHEHHEhemuehHEHhehE!! "
> Me: " Whaaaaaaaatttttttttttt!! "
> Bi: " Wow! Are you really starting to like me?? hehehe~ "
> Me: " WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
> Bi: " Wow~ I never thought this day would come~~ "
> --------- BBBBRRRRRRRRIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!! --------
> The homeroom bell rang.
> Me: " Ugh. YOU IDIOT! "
> I walked in my homeroom and sat down.
> I put my head on the cool desk and closed my eyes.
> Why WAS I mad because of that?
> If Bi wanted to go with Boa, then why should I care?
> Was I really jealous?
> Was I really.. falling for him?
> Suddenly, it felt like something hit me on the head, as I snapped awake.
> WHAT WAS I SAYING?!?
> I`M STRONGER THAN THIS!!
> I DON'T LIKE THAT CORNY UGLY TALL GUY!!
> NEVER!!
> EVER!!
> EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
> Its just.. SICK!
> ... right?
> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
> As soon as I got out of homeroom, I made sure I was the first one to step
> out the door.
> I walked fast.. not wanting see Bi ever again.
> " HEY! "
> That voice startled me as I looked to see who it was.
> Sure enough, it was Bi.
> I ignored him and kept walking fast. Why does 1st period HAVE to be at the
> other side of the building?!? grr..
> Bi: " Hey~ If you don't want me to go there, I won't! "
> Me: " I don't care! I don't have the right to tell you what to do and what
> NOT to do.. so do whatever you like, cause I DON'T CARE. "
> Thankfully, I didn't have to hear Bi's response since 1st period was right
> on the right side of me, as I hurried and stepped inside and sat.
> Bi smiled, waved " Bye " and left.
> OmG~
> Everyone SAW THAT!
> Every head in the class stared at me.. wanting to know what was up.
> " HI RUBY!!!!!! hehehe *snort* "
> Woah. That was LOUD. That sure broke the silence.
> I turned around and saw myself facing that familiar guy with shaggy hair
> nearly covering his too-thick glasses.
> He made a tiny wave and smiled- showing his big white teeth.
> Me: " Um.. hi.. minwoo. "
> Minwoo: " Wazzzzap! "
> Me: " o_O;; "
> Minwoo: " (whispers: ) Things had been going around that you're going out
> with.. BI! "
> Me: " EXCUUSE ME!? "
> Minwoo: " Is it true?? "
> Me: " NO! NEVER! "
> Minwoo: " Oh. People these days... just judging people on how they look in
> outer appearance.. Not bothering to know the inner appearance. Like how they
> think you guys are going out just because you walk in the halls together.
> It's lame. And also how they judge me. "
> I stared at Minwoo. I couldn't see his eyes but I surely could see his
> lips.. and it was certainly not smiling lips.
> Me: " Yeah.. TELL me about it.. "
> The lesson began to start as I started scribbling in my notebook..
> - KNOCK KNOCK -
> Without looking up I just continued scribbling.
> Mr Falfhvfd: " Mrs. Ruby Jong, you got summoned to the main office. Bring
> your stuff. I think your gonna have to go somewhere.. "
> HUH??
> I looked up at Mr Falfhvd's worried expression..
> I got my things and headed out the door.
> ~*~*~*~*~*
> I walked through the empty narrow halls until I got to the main office.
> I sat down and looked around. There were three men talking at one of the
> corners, all dressed in nice tuxedos with black sunglasses. One of the men
> had a black suitcase.
> Who are THEY? The FBI? o_O
> The guy holding the suitcase had a picture in his hand..
> I kept staring at them curiously, wanting to know what they were here for.
> Finally one of the men with the picture and the suitcase spotted me staring
> at them.
> He looked at the picture, and then back to me again.
> He turned back to his *crew* and muttered something which made all three of
> them look at me.
> I got confused so I stopped staring at them and stared at the floor
> intstead.
> I could hear their footsteps getting louder.. and louder, more near me..
> until I saw their black leather shoes right in front of me.
> I looked up as the man put the picture back in his pocket.
> " Hello. My name is Kevin Han. "
> The man stuck out his hand - obviously thinking that I would shake it.
> Instead I put my hands in my pockets and slouched on the chair.
> Who are they anyway?
> Advertising people??
> " Er.. Okay. Nevermind. We were sent from the government to have a .. *chat*
> with you. Shall we walk here? "
> I got kind of shocked for a moment, but thought it was a good chance for me
> to miss school for one day.
> Me: " No. How about we go to my place? "
> " Hmm.. All right then. "
> We got in their black cadillac as I told them the directions to my house.
> When they got to my house, they basically told me that I needed to go to a
> foster home, or an orphanage. I didn't really see a difference..
> I had to tell them about the money.. so that I wouldn't be forced to the
> orphanage or the foster home.
> So they said the money had to be in a bank and that I`d have another
> housekeeper until I become 18.
> I told them its stupid because in a couple of months, I`d be 18..
> But they kept lecturing me so I gave up.
> After they left, I lied down on my couch and stared up at the tall ceiling
> with the enormous chandalier. (did i spell it right? ><)
> Yay. I missed a day of school~
> Then all of the sudden, the thought of Bi entered my head..
> I wonder what he's doing..
> WAIT.
> WHY SHOULD I CARE?
> hah!
> Silly me.
> But no matter how much I tried to take my nap, I couldn't stop thinking
> about his face.
> -- RING RING RING --
> Finally!
> Something that interrupted my thoughts~
> I picked up the phone, " Hello? "
> " HEY! WHERE WERE YOU?! I WENT TO YOUR 1ST PERIOD AND um.. MINWOO TOLD ME
> THAT YOU GOT SUMMONED.. AND YOU LEFT. WHAT HAPPENED?!!?!? uh.. HELLO?! ARE
> YOU THERE?!? "
> Bi.. sigh.
> Me: " Yeah I'm here. It was just people from the government. "
> Bi: " *gasp* WHY WHY? WHAT DID THEY SAY? "
> Me: " They said my new housekeeper will come BY today. Did school end
> already? "
> Bi: " No.. we're in lunch. Well I`ll drop by after school. BYE! "
> Me: " HUH?! "
> -- CLICK --
> Oh great.
> To my own surprisement, I started laughing.. kinda expecting him to call.
> Then I snapped back to reality.
> What`s wrong with me?
> Why was I being so NICE to him!?
> This IS NOT like YOU, Ruby Jong.
> I shook my head in fustration, went back to the couch, and fell asleep.
> ~*~*~*~*~*~*
> I began to feel like someone was staring at me.. I rubbed my eyes and opened
> them.. and surprisingly found myself staring face-to-face with Bi.
> Me: " AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! "
> I screamed in shock and pushed him away.
> Me: " WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING !! AUGH!! "
> Bi: " I was just staring at you. "
> Me: " Yeahh. I could see that .. How long were you here? "
> Bi: " Erm.. for.. an hour now? "
> Me: " OmG! Why didn't you wake me up? "
> Bi: " Because.. I wanted to stare at you. muHAHa! "
> Me: " .... ok. weirdo. "
> -- ring ring ring --
> Bi's cellphone rang as he reached into his pocket and held it up his ear.
> Bi: " HellOo? ................ Mm Hmm.. Well I'm not
> sure..................... OmG REALLY?? THAT IS WAYYY COOL!
> ................................... uh............ right now?
> .........................Hmm..................................... Okie
> then.......................................................... Ok see ya
> later! Bye! "
> - click -
> Me: " Uh.. who was that? "
> Bi: " BOa, Hyori, and Bin, and a couple of guys just wanna kick it with me
> at Boa's house. "
> Me: " Oh. "
> Bi: " Well.. I guess I gotta run. Bye! "
> Me: " W-What? Your going? "
> Bi: " Yeah. Boa has POOL at her house! Dangg I really wanted to play for a
> really long time! Hehe. "
> Me: " Oh. Ok. Have fun.. ", I muttered.
> I watched Bi leave.. as a twing of disappointment shot through my head.
> I tried to ignore it and thought of something I should do..
> Just when I was gonna take a long soaking bath, the doorbell rang so I
> walked lazily to get it.
> I opened the door and found a rather large woman.. with a funky purple hat,
> and a matching purple sundress, and a humongous suitcase smiling brightly at
> me.
> " `Elo! Vy name iz Carolina! You vust ve Ruvy!! "
> She had that strange accent..
> Me: " Um. Yeah. And your the new housekeeper? "
> " Vost Cerntaintly! "
> Me: " OOOK.. Your room is the beige color door to the left. "
> I let her unpack as I ran up the stairs to continue with my bath.
> -- ring ring ring --
> GOODNESS! CAN`T I TAKE MY BATH?!
> I stomped back to my room and picked up the black phone.
> Me: " HeLLO?!! "
> " ......... "
> Me: " Wtheck? HELLO!??!?!?! "
> " Oh.. Ruby? Is that you? ", said a soft toned voice.. almost too soft for
> me to hear.
> Me: " Yeahh it is.. whose this? "
> " Oh.. oh Little Ruby.. ! "
> My eyes widened by hearing what she had just said.
> Nobody called me Little Ruby.. except.. Susan, and my...... parents.
> I started to breathe hard and lightly shake.
> Me: " W-W-Whose t-this? "
> " Ruby darling.. it's been so.. long.. *sniff* "
> By listening to her voice.. I realized why it had sounded so familiar.
> That was the same voice my.. mother used to sing to me since I was a baby.
> That soft, caring, musical voice she always carried around.
> I didn't realize how fast my tears filled up my eyes.
> I quickly smashed the phone down the receiver and dropped myself to the
> floor.
> How can she call NOW.. after all these years?
> I wiped my tears away..
> Trying to stop the continuing tears.
> I ran downstairs, out the door.
> I needed something.. someone..
> I ran and ran..
> Needed to get somewhere where I could just.. breathe.. needed someplace that
> wouldn't remind me of anything.
> I took the cab to the nearest beach and sat down on the cold sand.
> I watched the sun go down.. slowly.. and then it became dark.
> I put my head down and cried. I gave up on trying to hold it any longer.
> I hated myself for being weak like this. I hated to give up.
> The more I thought about it, the more I cried.
> Then suddenly, a warm arm carefully and gently layed down their arm on my
> shoulder.
> I made a small gasp and looked up to see who it was.
> Bi.
> I was about to shrug him off.. until I realized how warm it made me feel..
> like thats where I belonged.
> I lay my head down my knees and wept some more.
> Thinking about the old times.. how I used to be so happy when I was young..
> Strangely.. during the whole time,
> I didn't bother to shrug him off.
