When Gui Gui got to school the next morning she saw girls looking at her and whispering to one another.

“I heard she forcibly kissed him yesterday.”

“What a disgusting girl.”

“She doesn't even know her place.”

Gui Gui simply ignores them and approached Aaron who was looking into the breakfast bag.

“You're here!” Aaron said with a big smile.

“Um,” she said as she glanced at him and then looks away.

“Here you go” he hands her her breakfast.

“Thanks” she said as she took it and walks away.

“What?” Aaron said surprised. “What did you say? I think I misheard it” he said walking by her side.

“Then I think you did too” she said not looking at him.

“No I didn't, you said thanks didn't you?” he smiled.

“I don't like to repeat myself, if you didn't hear it, then it's your loss.”

“Well, I heard it! And I’m so happy! It's your first 'thanks' to me!” he said very excited.

“Hey, why are you so loud in the morning? Quiet down a bit will you?” she looks at him and gave him a cold stare.

“Got it” he said quieter now, but still happy deep inside. His heart was dancing in joy.

-Lunch-

“Boy I miss that guy” Jiro said looking at Aaron's empty seat. “I wonder what they are doing now.”

“What's wrong with you? He's the one that ditched us first” Calvin said.

“But weren't you the one that said 'Well, I don't like that airport girl much, but, I’m supporting you'?” Jiro points out.

“I know...I said the wrong thing.”

“I wish they would change the menu here every week” Chun said munching down his lunch.

“Chun, aren't you even worried about Aaron?” Jiro said kind of annoyed by Chun's attitude.

“Not at all. He's a grown man, why should I be worried about him?” Chun replies.

“He's right” Calvin agrees. “Jiro, you got to stop worrying.”

“I'm worried because I’m his friend, and I’m starting to believe the rumors. What if she really cursed him.”

Calvin laughs. “Like there's such thing, and it's not like we don't see Aaron. We see him everyday after school.”

“Still~” he said and sigh. “I miss him.”

- Meanwhile-

“Gui Gui, can I start holding your hands when I want to?” Aaron ask Gui Gui as they head to the roof.

“Why?”

“Because, I want to show other people that I’m the one that likes you. I really don't like all those rumors going around about you cursing me. I’m the one that made the move first, but why are they making rumors about you?”

“You won't understand, you were their prince. You belonged to everyone, but then suddenly being owned by someone, of course it'll make them mad.”

'Especially being owned by someone like me.'

“I'm sorry, I am really actually making things worst for you aren't I?”

“Of course, that's why I keep on telling you to stay away from me.”

"Even now, after knowing how much trouble I've caused for you, would you continue to tell me to say away from you?"

"Maybe."

“But even if you tell me to back off now, I won't, because I should be a man. I created this problem for you, so I should be the one who takes care of it. I will protect you.”

Gui Gui looks at him and burst out laughing.

Aaron smiled confused. “You just laughed! Why did you laugh?” he said happy about making her laugh yet still confused.

“You are really an idiot” she said and continues to laugh.

“Why?” he ask laughing with her.

“You're the first guy who said this to me. I don't know why but it sounded so funny to hear it from you.”

“What's wrong with hearing it from me?” he ask as he stops laughing.

Gui Gui stops laughing too. “Nothing.”

“Then why were you laughing?”

“Because I want to.”

“Okay, it's good to hear your laugh anyways. I like it. It's it first time you laughed for me.”

“Then shall I laugh some more often?”

“Of course!” he agreed with her.

She just smiled.

“You should also smiled more too! And hold my hand more, and kiss me more, and-”

“Forget it, I shall never do any of those things in front of you again” she said and walks a head of him.

“What? Hey-” Aaron quickly walks after her.

-As they ate-

'I’m sorry I can't tell you...that deep in my heart, I’m really happy to hear those words from you....I'm starting to feel more alive, thanks to you....' Gui Gui thought as she looks at Aaron who's eating his lunch beside her. He looks at her and smiled.

“You want some?” he hands his sandwich over to her.

“Are you kidding me? I don't want to get sick” she said and turns away.

“Oh~But yesterday-”

“Just eat up” she said and puts his sandwich into his mouth.

He took a bit and smiled.

“You like feeding me now?”

“No way,” she replied, and ate her lunch.

After finishing their lunch they walked to class.

“If you mention about what happened yesterday again, I’m going to be very angry” she said to Aaron before splitting to go to different classes.

“Got it” he smiled at her.

She turns around and walks away from him.

He watch as she disappeared before turning around to go to class too.

“Did I get her sick?” he wonders to himself. “Why is she so relaxed on me today?...Ah! She didn't answer my question earlier...but since she's nicer today...should I just hold her hand without permission?” he ask himself as he walks to class.

Gui Gui stops walking as she saw some girls bigger than her came and blocked her in the hallway.

She turns around and saw some guys came and stopped her.

She turns to the girls and gave them a cold smile.

“You can't do it yourself?”

“Get her!” one of the girls order the three big male and they quickly knock Gui Gui out before she could act.
