"Are you okay, Lia?"
Lia just sighed and sat up. She leaned her head on their couch while watching the movie together with Xing. Until now, she will never forget what she and Haji had argued earlier. Even her friend wondered why he was coming home with her eyes swollen but she seemed to think that it was because of what she was going through now.
She turned to hiler friend who also looked sad because of her and she smiled at it. "I'm okay, Xing. I'm just really sad because I want to finish my study in that prestigious school but it's just a dream."
"Why don't you try to talk to the Chairman again?? Ask him what else you can do just so you can study." Xing suggested.
"I don't know. It looks vague." the girl just replied and sighed again.
"Come on, Lia! Are you just going to give up on your dreams ?!" the friend's angry response caused the girl to look back at her.
"I don't want to give up but it seems like destiny is making way for me not to reach my dreams." she answered and her tears flowed again. Her friend immediately hugged her and did not speak again.
It didn't take long and Lia didn't seem to be crying anymore. So her tears dried on purpose. She turned away from her friend and smiled at It.
"Let's go to sleep, Xing. You still have a class tomorrow. I, on the other hand, will look for a job. Goodnight." she said and stood up on the seat. She walked into the room and lay down on her bed. It didn't take long and she immediately fell asleep.

* kringggggggggggg *
Lia was startled when her cellphone suddenly rang. Even though her eyes were closed because she was still drowsy, she reached for the cellphone on the side table and answered without looking.
"Hello?" she did answered without knowing who is it.
"Ms. Lia? This is Chairman, Zhu." the person on the other line replied causing Lia to suddenly wake up and due to shock she even fell on the bed.
"Ms. Lia? Are you still there?"
"Yes, Sir. Good morning! Why were you called?" she replied.
"I want to talk to you. Go to my office before your first class starts. Bye." its response and immediately cut the line.
"Yes, Sir. Thank you!" she answered cheerfully even though she knew the line was broken. She smiled and walked around her room even though she did not know what it would say to her. She looked at the clock on the side table of the bed and saw that it was only 6 o'clock so she still had time to prepare.
She immediately went to the bathroom and took a shower. As she continued to clean herself, the girl smiled incessantly. She thinks she looks crazy because she smiles all the time but even though nothing good happened but she immediately opposed it because she did not want to cry again.
After bathing and grooming herself, she immediately went out wearing her uniform and immediately went to the kitchen. She saw her friend cooking and was shocked to see her wearing a uniform.
"Why are you wearing your uniform? I thought you were looking for a job? Is that required ??" its a shocking question.
"Crazy! No! The Chairman called me and said he would talk to me." Lia's smiling response caused her friend to hug her with joy.
"Really??? !! Maybe he'll send you back to school!" its excited response to her so he smiled it back.
"I don't know yet but I hope so, Xing." she said and drink the coffee that Xing prepared.
"Stop it! Don't think negatively! I just knew something good was going to happen!" said the friend and seemed to be thrilled while serving breakfast." Let's eat! "
He smiled at his friend and ate quickly because she needed to have breakfast because she might lose the opportunity to talk to the chairman. After eating, dhe immediately said goodbye to her friend and left the apartment. She jumped while smiling out of the whole apartment and immediately walked towards the school unaware that the young man was looking at her.
He looked at the girl who was walking happily and was still smiling. He just shook his head and rode the motor away. Because Lia was walking while she was riding the motor, she even saw the girl picking flowers on the side and sniffing while walking. The young man was shaken by what he saw.
"She cried last night and now smiling. Crazy." the young man replied to himself and quickly started the motor.
"Hey, Young Master!" Bulk calls him when he sees him in the parking lot. It got out of the nice car and immediately approached him.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me Young Master anymore?" Haji replied to the friend.
"Let me be. That's what I got used to." he replied.
He did not answer It because he did not want to say anything more. He does not know why Bulk is still with him even though he is not talkative and a bad person. He is happy because he has a friend who can be approached and is really reliable. They are very different because Bulk is loud so he often shouts it.
"Come on, Young Master!"
"Go ahead if your in a hurry. Hurry up!" he replied annoyed causing Bulk to laugh at him. He just stared at it and walked away when he finished what he was doing.
"Wait for me!" Bulk called to him but he ignored It. He walked fast while his friend followed him.
"Hi Haji! Hi Bulk!" The students greeted them but he ignored them while Bulk waved at all of them and still smiled.
"Oh? Hi, Lia! Where have you been?" Bulk said causing him to turn around.
He saw the girl and smiled at Bulk who was also stopped by when she see him.
"Hi. A-ah just there in the Chairman's office." she replied and smiled.
"Reallu?? Are you here at school again?" Bulk asked cheerfully.
"Ahh. It depends on whether he will allow me to teach." she replied and pointed to Haji. He looked at it and raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you going to give up yet?" Haji replied to her.
"I will not give up. I have to finish here eh So I hope you cooperate." she replied as she earnestly looked at him..
"Why would I do that?" he emotionless response. The girl looked at him and stared into his eyes.
"Because I know you are a good person. I need that because I have things I want to do. I have dreams and it depends on it." she replied while staring at Haji.
"It's going to be fine, Lia. Don't worry." Bulk replied while smiling looking at Haji. He looked at her and turned away.
"Come on, Bulk." he replied and was about to walk when Lia held him by the arm causing him to stop. Bulk was surprised by Lia's hold on Haji's arm but she was even more surprised by the young man's reaction.
"Please." the maiden pleaded. The young man remained behind him but did not move. He turned slightly to the girl and spoke.
"I'll think about it." he replied to the girl so she let his go. Haji walked away while Bulk followed him. They left Lia standing there smiling while Bulk and Haji go straight to the rooftop to spend time.
"You look stupid." Haji said to his friend who raised an eyebrow. Bulk did not answer him and kept looking at him and smiling. He ignored It and sat down on the broken chair there.
"Uhuh! Young Master !!! Hahahahaha!" Bulk said looks like it's really a nonsense.
"What?" Haji asked angrily and his friend took him on his shoulders.
"You're a young man! Hahahahah!"
"What ??"
"You thought I didn't notice that? If someone else you might be fooled them but I'm your friend so stop pretending. You're being caught. its funny response So Haji looked at him.
"Shut up. What you are saying I do not understand you." pissed off the young man said.
"Did you like Lia?" Bulk asked which caused Haji's eyebrows to meet.
"What did you say? Are you crazy ???" Haji asked his friend incredulously. Even he did not know what was in the friend's brain and said that.
"Yes and no, man!"
"No." he answered seriously and Bulk shrugged at his answer.
"You said so. But why is that? You looked at her eyes that you do not usually do to anyone. Hmmm and anothe thing, you agreed to hold him and you did not get angry but to others, you immediately pushed them away from you ? What do you think, Young Master? " Bulk replied smiling and really emphasized the words. He was speechless so he immediately stood up.
"Don't think of anything nonsense. You're pure madness. Let's go." he replied and walked out of the rooftop.
Bulk laughed at him and followed. "Okay! You said so hahahaha!"
Bulks just shrugged and followed Haji. He doesn't believed on what he said because he knew the truth in Haji's eyes.
