I, as usual, walked alone to my locker. I think I'm the only one around the campus for now, hence the time; 6 am.

 

Man, it's so cold this morning and I jogged myself to school, instead of riding with my fetch. Being an early bird that I am, I hated going to school late, and I'm a complete opposite of Xiao. Speaking of Xiao, she would get up at about seven and rush herself to school…ah, lazy girl. But who can blame her right? Xiaoyu…her name itself kept replaying on my head like some j-pop music. I can't help myself on getting rid of her on my thoughts, she even invades my dreams!

 

Okay, enough of Xiao already coz I'm about to reach the locker room's double doors. As I entered the area, I held myself for a gasp when I was greeted by a sight so familiar to me before.

 

I quickly moved back, closing the door at my side. The figure, which was a woman's, slowly departed from its place and walked to a spot illuminated by the sun's rays.

 

“So Julia, you're back,” I said, ignoring her presence from afar and retreated to my locker, getting its combinations.

 

“Aren't you surprised?” Julia asked, taking her sweet time in moving towards me, “I was supposed to give you a shock honey…”

 

“Not at all… You see, someone told me about your fight with Xiaoyu. And you lost.” I replied, not even looking at her in exchange.

 

“Oh… the fight.” She finally caught up with me, wrapping her hands around my nape and giving me a warm smile. “So that relinquished the surprise then?”

 

“I'm not surprised…at all Julia.” I slowly removed her hands from my neck, smiling at her, but a feeble one.

 

“So you don't you miss me at all? Don't you love me anymore?” She said with a tone of anxiety.

 

I rolled my eyes, and started to leave, but before I could, I said, “Both. Look, I'm sorry, but I'm with someone right now.”

 

“But, I thought we're gonna be together forever! Look, I'm a huge part of you, remember that!” She cried, glaring at me with furious eyes.

 

“God, that was ten years ago, we were nine years old! And you're the one who asked me to touch you in the first place!” I yelled angrily at her, for I wasn't able to handle her childish pleas.

 

“I almost got pregnant for God's sake Jin!” She fell on her knees and wept heavily, still continuing on glaring at me, “Who is she? That someone of yours? Is she fucking better than me?!”

 

I stared at her for a moment and gave her an amused look. Finally, I moved over and knelt in front of her.

 

“She's the one you've lost to. And yes, she's better than you, because she isn't a whore.” I stated, standing up and patted her head, leaving the area.

 

~o~

 

`Yawn!' It's already 7:55, classes are about to start and I'm still freakin' drowsy! I tilted my head from my desk to see what the other students are doing but Miharu blocked my view.

 

“Hey, you're still worn out?” She asked and I nodded in response, still tired to move my lips.

 

Then, I noticed her taking a glance at Jin, who was busy doing his student council president work something. I smirked, burying my head again over my folded arms.

 

“Look at your man, always busy for both your future!” My fidget friend giggled, whispering on my ear, which I ignored as I continued my nap.

 

I can't help but to take a quick peek at her reaction…heck, she was giving me a smug face! I hid my face again and resumed to laugh silently, stomping my feet like crazy! Damn, when I tilted my head back up again, I was greeted by several studs, plus the teacher staring at me in dismay! Why, do I always end up like this?! So, with complete humiliation, I formed my composure and sat back straight. Jin and Miharu tried to hide their laughter from me again. Ahh!! What a B.S! I still have to wait 3 hours more before recess, and another 2 hours before lunch!

 

-LUNCH-

 

Finally, the period I hated the most ended. Psychology always makes me mad, but I just wonder what I do because my grades are always high. And I despise this subject so much that I would secretly listen to my I-pod, the only thing that entertains me in this situation. No Xiaoyu, no entertainment, no fun, no nothing! Man, she made me laugh again this morning. Can you imagine laughing your heart out and eventually being stared at like a complete loon?! Okay, so I hate Psychology class because she is in another room, thus I can't see her…

 

I felt so relieved, not only because my class ended, it's because I'll be eating my lunch again with my most price possession…Xiaoyu. However, the sight beside the door's exit was another problem…

“Hi honey!”

 

It was her again; the nerve of this woman…She approached me easily, hooking her hands on my arms.

 

“Can't you understand?” I whispered to her hoarsely, “Get-lost.”

 

She only laughed, taking off her hands from mine and started to walk like a villain in sitcoms.

 

“Say, since we're the only ones here in the corridor, why don't we--”

 

“Masturbate yourself and go home, there's no `we'…” I cutted her off, trying to walk away but she snagged my wrist.

 

“Trying to be so playful eh? I know you want it.”

 

“Will you stop it?!” I growled in frustration, snatching my wrist from her grip and hurried myself away from her.

 

“Hey, wait!” She yelled, “Your best-I mean ex-best friend gave me something…he said to hand it to you.”

 

I stopped walking and my eyes widen in shock. I eagerly looked at her with questioning eyes. Something to be handed to me? Must be something important coming from him, but I doubt Julia…she might be lying, and then again it won't hurt believing her.

 

“What is it?” I asked moving towards her again.

 

“Come with me first…” She smiled, waving the small object in my face.

 

I rolled my eyes and timidly nodded in response as she seductively turned and walk ahead of me. Feeling someone spying on us, I stopped for a moment and tried to look around. No one was there, but I swear to have seen a small shadow afar… I swallowed as I began to follow Julia again…thinking of the consequences that may follow.

 

~o~

 

I swiftly his myself from behind the teacher's locker stall. I gasped, pretending to deceive my mind that I didn't see anything…anything at all! But it was so clear…and what the hell was THAT? Jin, Julia, talking to eachother, the way that girl flirted with him, and him following her!

 

What? Why are tears falling? Am I jealous? Well I must be…who wouldn't have right?

 

However, my chest hurts from what I've saw and I knelt down in disbelief. Jin actually followed that bitch! I quickly stood up in an angry manner, stomping my feet everytime I'd take step.

 

~o~

 

I angrily swung the cafeteria door open, hitting a few that stood near it, but I didn't care. Seeing Miharu all set in a table in the middle, I stomped my way across the tables, shoving everyone aside.

 

“Yo Xiao, I've ordered your favorite…fried dumplings!” Miharu gleefully called out, as I was about to sit opposite of hers.

 

“Gee thanks,” I replied in a not-in-the-mood tone, making her look at me again in surprise. I guess, she noticed something missing with me as well.

 

“What's wrong?” She asked, “Where's Jin?”

 

Damn, that name screwed this day and hearing it made me punch the table! I felt Miharu's, as well as the other hearts that resides us leapt in fright! Miharu calmed me down and the anger that I breathed eased a little.

 

“Shh…talk about it later then,” She said, but I can't take it anymore…I grabbed her collar and cried helplessly on her chest, not caring whether others would stare at us or not.

 

Miharu, my best buddy and the only friend I ever had, tried her best to comfort me. She asked me what's wrong, but I didn't reply, instead, I told her to help me drop by the clinic to take a long nap. I wasn't feeling any better. I must've drunk too much off those pills, or was it the other way around?

 

~o~

 

Of all places, Julia was leading me at the storage room! I chuckled silently, matching the serene atmosphere with us. I couldn't help but laugh at her idea that didn't fool me…

 

“Okay, we can stop here. Now give it to me.” I said, trying to snatch the object from her closed fist.

 

“Not until this!” She grabbed her hand away from me again, but still, she moved closer, pulling me down by my collar, kissing me hungrily on the lips. I quickly pulled away, shoving her hard on the ground. I stared at her disgustingly.

 

“Just give that fucking thing to me!” I snatched the item from her offguarded form. She frowned, unable to look at me in exchange.

 

“Y-you deserve that thing!” She spat, running back at the hallway.

 

I disregarded her actions, and gazed down at the small box fit for a ring on my palm. As I slowly opened it, my mouth dropped inch by inch, almost seeing the containing item. I took the object out and stared at it with complete melancholy. It was a native necklace. I gave it to him when we were just twelve as a sign of everlasting friendship and trust…

 

8 years ago…

 

“Hey you'll fall!” He warned me again. Stubborn like a piece of stone, I ignored him and continued to walk amongst rocks near the river bank.

 

“Come on Hwoarang, it's fun!”

 

“I'll tell your mom!”

 

“Uh, okay I'll stop, just don't tell her!”

 

Without anymore arguing, I splashed my way up the water to meet my best friend's hand, ready to pull me up.

 

“You're such a headache when it comes to the dangerous parts of nature…” He said, brushing the dirt I that I shared with him.

 

“And you're a headache when it comes to the city…”

 

“Whatever.”

 

I only smirked at the red head's response. This time somehow is perfect for me to give this to him…

 

“Hwoa,”

 

“Yup?”

 

Pulling out a small necklace of a well-carved wood from my pocket, I examined it further; making sure it's in a clean-cut-shaven shape. I notice Hwoarang stare at my palm in surprise, making me shed out a smile.

 

“Here, have this, a gift from me…” I said, handing him the item. He lifted and started to stare at it in wonder.

 

“But it's not my birthday…” He said, but proceeded on hooking the necklace on his neck.

 

“I know, I just want you to have it. So, do you like it? It's special.”

 

“You're so corny Jin…But yeah, I like it…Uh, you're making me cry!” He punched me slightly on the face, and eventually retreated into a hug.

 

“Now who's corny?!”

 

“Jinny, Hwoarang, It's time to leave the park!”

 

After hearing my mom's call, both of us ran out of the forest into the park's center, panting real hard.

 

“Where did both of you go?” My mom asked, readying a towel in her hand and wiping it on my face. Yup, my mother, Jun Kazama, was the best, unfortunately she died when I was fifteen…

 

~o~

 

A not so strange past of mine eh? Betrayal and loss was one, but still, I learned to be strong, strong enough to motivate me into training and going on with my life. Too bad things for Hwoarang and me to turn out this way, though. But he deceived me, ruining the friendship and trust we shared for eachother as bestfriends and even as brothers!

 

I want to forget already…everything. And so, I pulled out the cushion that supported the necklace inside the box, only to be surprised by a folded piece of picture. I pulled it out, slowly opening it…a tear almost fell down my eye. It was a photo taken 10 months ago in Mishima High. Me, Julia and Hwoarang, posing together as best of friends.

 

Out of rage and deep frustration, I crumpled the paper, eventually opening it clumsily, folding it neatly like before and placed the rest back in the box.

 

I inhaled deeply, as I was about to aim the box outside the open window, facing the river. Finally, I exhaled, throwing the object outside, making it splash on the water. That way, it was all over for him, and his once bestfriend, Hwoarang.

 

~o~

 

I felt guilty for shouting at the nurse earlier…We were having an argument of me staying here unnecessarily in the clinic. But somehow she left me here in the bed, and I hoped she'd forgive me. I wasn't being myself…

 

I tried closing my eyes, but I can't! The thought of Jin and Julia flooded my mind again! Fuck, I want to forget!

 

Jin, do I love you? Do I?! I angrily questioned myself, grasping my shirt as if tearing it. I whimpered silently, forcing myself to know the answer…unfortunately, I can't.

~o~

 

A familiar voice called me out, but when I turned to look at it, I frowned, seeing Jin walking up to me.

 

“Miharu! Seen Xiao?” He asked.

 

“Nu-uh…” I lied, “Don't know.”

 

He gave me a stern look, thinking that I might be on my mood swings again. And to give it a ride I tried giving him my best snobbish attitude ever.

 

“Damn it…oh well, see ya.” Then, he walked away…

 

I'm sorry Jin-honey, but I'm doing this for Xiao…

 

~o~

 

It's 4pm already and where the hell is Xiao? I've tried calling her several times already but she returned no answer. I wonder what happened, or did she turn her phone off on purpose? Nah…definitely not her.

 

I bit my lower lip watching my watch turn from 4:05 to 4:15. All of a sudden, a white limo stopped right in front of me.

 

“What the?” I gasped, wondering why the limo that used to take me to school came back again. The driver's door opened, revealing a familiar man to me.

 

“Hello young master, it's time to get home.”

 

“Where is Xiao's fetch? Aren't we supposed to be in the same car now John?”

 

“They're already at the mansion sire.” He opened the door for me, which I reluctantly accepted.

 

She left without me…why that! Wait, did she? Fuck! She must've seen us!

 

~o~

 

I scurried off the limo into the vast staircase. I tried to locate Xiao's room, almost slipping on the rugs. I found her door, unfortunately, it was locked. Thinking how clever she is, I knocked loudly, almost breaking the door in two. Fuck, no answer.

 

Screw that Julia! I snapped, kicking her door lightly, but enough to be heard. With a loud sigh, I helplessly retreated back to my bedroom, reminiscing that time with Julia. I'm sure there was no one there at that time but it is possible that she might've seen me or someone passed by and told the whole school. No…I'm not even sure.

 

Hearing a slight sound of chaos coming from her room, I tucked my ear next to the wall. I see…she's playing again. Devil may cry maybe…

 

 

~o~

 

Fuck you Kazama! Here you go you devil! I spatted, eveytime I'd kill monsters in this game. Video games do relieve me from stress, but I doubt having a goodnight's sleep with this…Damn, Dante is hit! But these monsters can't kill him with all those usage of physical force and that—Wait!

 

It's physical attraction! I don't love him…maybe it's just the sex…or maybe I'm just obsessed with him and stuff…Now I'm laughing…But why am I jealous then?

 

~o~

 

Shit. Maybe she did saw us…this is so messed up; maybe I should go talk to her and explain what really happened.

 

No.

 

She won't listen to me…

 

But why would she get so angry? Is it because she's jealous?

 

XIAOYU JEALOUS?!

 

No way…It can't be. I don't even know if she loves me or not…or does she?

 

With that thought, I rose up from my torn canopy and started to walk around my room back and forth. I can't take it anymore…my body needs her now. My skin aches to be molded with hers. However, this time, no matter how much I wish to have her, It just can't be done.

 

Things are fucked up, thanks to my ex Julia…

 

I clenched my fists and kicked the rear bunker of my bed to cool up frenzy. All this thoughts are too much to be swarming my head!

 

I finally fell on my knees, my head and eyes gazing above the well designed ceiling of my room. Right now, all I can see is her…staring at me with no expression. But I know she's mad at me…

 

Oh Xiaoyu…please forgive me…

 

 

~o~
