Falling

"You shouldn't do this to someone who's older than you" a buff man in suit, patted the boy cheek. "Don't try to mess with us" another man added, taking his shade off.

"Fuck you!" he spat at their face. "Do you have a death wish?" the buff man punch him in the gut, another guy kick his leg, the others join in, taking turn in beating him.

"Hello, is this the police?" they all turned their head to face the girl, dressed in a mini-pink dress with knee high suede boot, "There are bunch of guys here beating up a high school student" she paused and glanced over them "it's five to one" she added "You'll be here in 5 minutes?!, okay thank you"

"You bitch, I'm letting you go this time only" they all ran away leaving a blonde hair guy stranded with bruise all over his face and body.

She walked up to him "It's been a while, you haven't change, getting into fight that doesn't involve you in the first place" she crouched down "Lin Yi, how is it going?"

Lin Yi raised his head "Xiao Yue?" he spoke in dazed. "Why are you here?" he asked. "We'll talk about that later" she help him got up on his feet, "Before that, we need to do something with you" she sighed.

"Ouch! Can't you be more gentle?" he protested, "Why are we in a cafe anyway?" he crinkled his forehead. "I have work to do, Unlike someone" she applied the ointment on his wound, "Wha- ouch!" he screamed. "Be quite, people are looking" she hissed as she placed the bandage on his forehead. "Finished!" she exclaimed.

"Here's your drinks" the lady placed the drinks on the table and left. "Take a photo for me" she reached out for her phone and gave it to him. He grabbed the phone and take the photo, "Here" he extended his hand to her.

"Okay let's go to get lunch" she said standing up, she turned her back "Aren't you coming?"

"One more place and we're done" she pulled her hair up into a tight ponytail. "Which one, number 1 or 2?" she showed him the picture. "Number 2" he answered. "Okay number 1" she nodded, drinking her coffee. "Why bother asking me then!" he complained. "How much did they pay?" he queried. "$15,000" she nonchalantly replied. "It sure is nice being famous and pretty" he smacked his lips. "Why? Are you jealous?" She turned to mock him.

"Wait!" She gasped. "What?" he frowned as they both stop moving and stand still. "You just admit, I'm pretty" she lightly hit his chest. "Stop it!" he yelled. "Okay fine" she continued walking, she turned around, gave him a smile and nodded "I know I'm pretty"

He gave up, "yes yes you're pretty" resting his arm on her head. She glared at him "Am I an arm rest?" "You don't like it? Then try growing taller" he scoffed. "If the sky fall, you'll be the first one to die" she reasoned. "If there's a tsunami, you'll be the first one to drown" he smiled, patting her head.

"What school do you go to?" he asked, sipping on his water. "Elite private High School" she said chomping down on her food. "Really? I go there too" he passed her the sauce. "What class?" she said choking on her food. "Eat slowly" he scolded, giving her the drink "Class A, rank 3" he took a piece of meat and eat it. "Really? I've never seen you around"

"I've been skipping school for a week now" he put down his chopsticks "My dad is never home, I thought getting into trouble would make him come back home but he only send his subordinates to check up on me" he spoke in despaired. She used her thumb to wipe off the stain on his mouth, "Go back to school, I'll make him come to you"

He blushed "Are you just gonna eat? Give me your phone" "Oh yeah you're right, I almost forgot about it" she handed him her phone, "Wait no" she changed her mind, "let's take a selfie instead"

"I'll get going then" he was about to leave but stopped when she went to hug him "Thank you for today, get a good sleep and don't get sick" she pulled out of the hug and turned to leave. "O-okay you too" he blushed.

'People with kind hearts are such an easy target, once they fall into your trap, they just kept on falling without even doubting' she shook her head and chuckled.
