> Me: " He.. is NOT. my boyfriend, Carol!! "
> Bi: ^___^*
> Carolina: " Oh, ve isn't?? Sory dahling~ "
> Me: " Yeah whatever.. "
> While we were eating, the phone in Bi's pocket rang.
> Bi put his fork down and pulled out his cellphone from his pocket.
> Bi: " Hello? ..................... Who is this??? .......... Oh.. Hi
> Bin............ "
> Bin?! Why was she calling him for?!

> Wait. Didn't he say *SEE YOU THEN*?? SO THAT MEANS THEY`RE GOING TO MEET?!!
> Me: " Um.. what did Bin say? "
> Bi: " Oh.. it's nothing.. "
> Why wasn't he telling me?!?! roar!!

> for the last time tomorrow. "
> Me: " Oh I see.. "
> After we all finished eating, Bi left and said Good Bye.
> ~*~*~*~*~*~*
> The next morning, until 3, I just kept myself busy watching TV, eating..
> sleeping.. until the thought of what Bin was gonna tell Bi kept lingering in
> my mind.
> What did she have to tell him that was SO important?!
> I picked up the phone.. then put it back down.. then I hesitated and just
> called Bi.
> After a few rings, he finally picked up.
> Bi: " Hello? "
> Me: " Hey.. um.. what are you doing today? "
> Bi: " Like.. 5 minutes later I gotta go meet up Bin at Upperhouse. "
> Me: " Oh.. that boba place? "
> Bi: " Yeah~ Why? You got plans for us?? "
> Me: " HA. HA. Yea right. I was just wondering.. bye. "
> Bi: " Bye! "
> Time went by.. minute by minute.. and I kept wanting to know what Bin had to
> say to Bi.
> It seemed like something was in my head telling me " go to upperhouse! go to
> upperhouse! "
> After 5 minutes of sitting there, thinking, I couldn't take it anymore.
> Curiousity had won once again.
> I quickly got out of the house and ran 2 blocks to upperhouse.
> The door was open, and I could see Bin and Bi, close by the open door, from
> the glass windows.
> BIN LOOKED HORRIBLE!
> Her usual nicely combed back hair was a total mess like she just woke up out
> of bed.
> The dark circles around her eyes were still visible under the thick too-much
> powderness. It looked like she hadn't been sleeping for weeks, and the make
> up was a mess.
> I bent down so they won't be able to see me, and peeked through the open
> door.
> Bi: " Sorry I was late. What did you need to tell me? 
> Bin: " Bi oppa.. Is it true your taking R-Ruby to the banquet?? "
> Bi: " Yeah "
> I quietly laughed to myself and continued to see and listen.
> Bin's lips immediately started shaking as tears poured down her powdered
> cheeks.
> Bin: " B-but oppa.. W-w-why? What does she-- I mean, SHE have that I don't? "
> Bi: " I dunno.. She's just.. cool. B]"
> Bin: " I-I-I CAN BE COOL! I WANNA BE THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS!! I WANNA BE
> THE GIRL YOU WANT!! "
> Bi: " Bin, was THIS what you were gonna tell me about? If it is, then I'm
> wasting my time, AND your time. "
> Bin ignored what he said and continued to sob.
> Bin: " So is this it? Is it g-good-bye oppa? "
> Bi: " It was, since the day I broke up with you. I'm really sorry Bin. There
> are other fishes in the sea!! Why do you have to stick to me? "
> Bin: " It's the same thing like you were sticking to Ruby! Then after a
> while.. she started liking you, didn't she?? "
> Bi: " BUT-- "
> Bin: " So if I try hard enough, I'll make you like me too?? "
> Bi: " BIN!! "
> Bin: " Okay Oppa. I'm never gonna give up!! "
> Bi: " Bin.. I'm LEAVING. GOOD BYE. "
> Bi was just about to walk oUt of the boba place until I realized that he
> would see me if he got out.
> I gasped and crawled away fast as I can but I was too late..
> Bi: " Ruby?!? "
> I bit my lip and muttered curse words to myself.
> Then I turned around and stood up facing Bi.
> Bi: " WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!? "
> Me: O_O;
> Bi: " RUBy! I SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?! and.. what were you doing on
> the ground?! "
> Me: " W-well um.. I.. uh wanted some boba so.. I came here and I thought I-I
> f-found a.. a.. a quarter! So I bent down but um.. it wasn't a quarter... SO
> WHAT ARE YOUUUU DOING HERE??? "
> I bit my lip in order to make it stop shaking and wiped off the sweat
> pouring down the side of my face.
> Bi: " I told you.. that I'm here to meet Bin. "
> Me: " OOOOOO YEAH! HA. HA. I UM. FORGOT. HA. HA. HEH`.. ", I forced a
> smile.
> Bi frowned.
> Me: " Well I better be off. See ya in school tomorrow! "
> Bi: " Um.. I thought you were gonna buy boba? "
> Me: " OH YEAH! Well um.. I just lost my appetite. heh. okay bye! "
> Bi: " HEY! WAIT! I`LL WALK YOU. "
> Me: " DO I LOOK LIKE A DOG TO YOU?!?! "
> Bi: " HAHAHA! C`mon! "
> He put his heavy long arms around me and started to walk.
> I punched his stomache as he groaned and covered his arms on his stomache.
> I proudly walked away.
> Then I turned around to see Bin's sobbing face covered with tears.
> ~*~*~*~*~
> We finally arrived right in front of the door of my house.
> Me: " OkAy~ We`re here and you can leave now! "
> Bi: " YOU ALWAYS-- "
> Right when Bi was about to finish his sentence, the front door sprung open.
> Both Bi and I looked to see who the stranger was.
> It certaintly wasn't Carol.
> This woman looked like she was around her 40`s or 50`s.
> She had short black hair nicely curved around her ears.
> Her eyes watered as soon as she saw me, but she was still beautiful.
> She looked so.. familiar.
> Bi: " Um.. Ruby.. who is she?? ", he whispered.
> I continued staring at the woman.
> Me: " WHO ARE YOU?? "
> The woman's tears fell slowly down her wrinkly cheeks.
> Then finally, she spoke.
> Her voice was soft and calm.. very.. familiar.
> " Little Ruby ... "
> My eyes widened as I froze in shock.
> Bi poked my arm.
> Bi: " Ruby! Who is she??? What's wrong Ruby?? ", he whispered.
> I was paralyzed, not able to speak nor move.
> " It's been such a long time.. ", the woman spoke again.
> We were all sitting down in the living room, drinking tea.
> Bi was sitting right next to me and that.. woman.. across from us.
> Bi still looked confused as ever.
> Bi: " You know.. if you really think about it, you guys look alike!! "
> Me: " Bi.. shut up. "
> Bi: o.o
> I turned myself to the woman and glared at her.
> Me: " Why did you come back!? "
> Obviously my rudeness had surprised both Bi and this woman.
> The woman: " D-Didn't Susan.. tell you? I promised I will be back! "
> Right then, Bi GOT IT. His jaw dropped and stared at the woman, then me,
> then back at the woman.
> Bi: " OH. MY. GAWD!! "
> Me: " Bi, I think you should go home. "
> Bi: " Oh- Oh yeah um bye ruby! "
> He almost tripped over the couch, but stood right back up and ran out the door.
> The woman: " Who was that handsome young man? "
> Me: " He's not handsome. And he's just a friend. "
> The woman: " Ruby, I know you didn't live a very happy life without your father and I, but now I'm back! "
> Me: " WHY DID YOU LEAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE?! "
> The woman turned away from my angry glare and stared at the fireplace.
> " Your father always wanted a son for the first child. He.. he wasn't happy with .. you. He begged me for days and days to follow him.. and leave YOU. I had no choice, Ruby! I was too madly in love with that man! "
> Me: " Oh. Well I'm okay. It's not your fault you chose my so called FATHER over me. I lived my life FINE, without you selfless people. SO WHERE IS THAT MAN ANYWAY? "
> " He's.. home. He didn't want to come with me. I'm very.. sorry Ruby. "
> Me: " You better leave. I don't think I want to see you. "
> The woman bit her lip and wiped her falling tears away.
> " All right then. I guess this was too much for you for one day. I'll come
> back very soon. Good Bye Little Ruby."
> Me: " no. don't come back. ever. I'm best without you. ", I said coldy.
> " ... very well then.. if that will make you happy.. good bye.. for good.. "
> Before she left, she sat there to stare at my necklace. Or.. well.. it was
> her necklace..
> The ruby red teardrop necklace that was tied in a thick black string.
> The woman forced a smile, and left the house.
