Let it all out (2)

Chapter 10

[Leo and Yuna arrived at the amusement park. They started to walk around and look at all the different rides they could enjoy.]

"There's a lot of people here. I feel like I'm going to suffocate any minute," Leo said to Yuna.

"Yeah, there sure are a lot of people in here."

Leo turns around and holds Yuna, "hold my bag so I can feel if you lose grip," Lep lets go of Yuna.

"You make me sound like a little girl, who'd get lost so easily. But, whatever," Yuna holds Leo's bag tightly.

Yuna's eyes sparkle as she looks at the rides, "oh!! Let's ride that! We'll get a great view on top of it," Yuna aggressively shakes Leo's bag.

Leo felt like he was being dragged down, and it annoyed him how Yuna shakes his bag. So, he just said, "Which one? Which one?? don't shake my bag too much, it feels heavy and tires me out!"

Yuna pointed at the Ferris wheel, "That one! Let's ride the Ferris wheel."

"Ok! Now stop shaking my bag like crazy! You're gonna tear it along with my arms,"

Yuna quickly stops shaking the bag, "oh, my bad, I forgot!" She chuckled while scratching her head.

"Stupid, how could you "forget" but whatever. Just hold on tight," Leo strongly stated.

[Yuna grips the bag even harder as Leo navigates their way to the Ferris wheel. A few moments later, they arrived at the foot of the Ferris wheel.]

"Are you sure about this? Don't you have a fear of heights?" Leo asked Yuna.

"I'm fine, I do well with heights, so don't mind me."

"Ok then, let's get tickets then."

Leo walks towards the booth that sells tickets for the Ferris wheel, "2 tickets please."

"Here you go, that'll cost 7$."

Leo grabs money from his pocket and hands it to the guy, "here you go, sir."

"Thank you, enjoy the ride."

[Leo and Yuna waited for the Ferris wheel to stop, they got in after.]

"This feels very cozy," Leo joyfully said.

Yuna smiles widely and says, "it sure is. The view is fantastic, you can see from afar here. Look! There's the train station!" Yuna points to the station.

"I've already seen it before you do."

"Eh? I'm still the one who pointed it out," Yuna said while smiling.

"Anyways, how is your school going? We don't talk about it a lot outside of school. So, it's not bad to talk about it once in a while," Leo strictly said.

"Well, do you want me to explain it shortly or in a long way?"

"Seriously? you're very specific. Just explain it whatever way you want," Leo said.

Yuna thought about whether to answer briefly or in a long way. She concluded Leo would just find a long explanation annoying. Instead, she just says "everything is going reasonably great! I've been relaxed lately since there's not as many projects or assignments recently."

Leo wasn't much interested in Yuna's answer, he just nodded and said "hmm."

Yuna seemed to be angered by Leo, "why are you so grumpy today?! Aren't you the one who invited me here?!" Yuna angrily said.

"If you have a problem, a dilemma of a lifetime. Just freely share it, we're friends for a reason," Yuna added, and she deeply sighed after.

"Hmm? There's nothing much happening lately. I'm fine! Look at me, still looking as handsome as ever," Leo announced proudly in front of Yuna.

Yuna looks at Leo and laughs, "what?! Where's the handsome part in here? Where? what? I can't see it," she continues to laugh and make fun of Leo.

Leo slightly hits Yuna in the head for her silliness, "you silly, you're childish."

Yuna was hurt and covered her head after Leo hit her, "ow! Was that really necessary?" Yuna said while still laughing subtly.

[The both of them laughed.]

"I have something to tell you! Aha! I remembered the thing I was planning to tell you," Yuna loudly said.

"Shhh, lower it down a little ok? It feels like you plan to declare it to the world," Leo worryingly said.

Yuna chuckles, and says, "why did you invite me to go out again?"

"No specific reason. Jack, my supervisor, told me that work starts at 5. I'm an intern, after all, my schedule is much more flexible than the full-time or part-time workers. Since I'm not obligated to do specific work as well."

"That's great! You'll be able to focus on school now, especially if everything flows in the right direction," Yuna cheered!

"I hope so," Leo smiled a little.

[After the Ferris wheel finished a whole loop. Leo and Yuna exited, walking a little later. They found themselves on the rollercoaster, they boarded it. And Yuna had a great time. Not Leo on the other hand.]

Leo is dizzy and he is on the verge of throwing up, but he managed to say, "that wasn't a fun experience at all."

Yuna patted Leo on the back, "it'll be fine, just keep bowing down just in case."

[Yuna's pats caused Leo to puke. After Leo pukes, they rested for a while until Leo was able to stand up properly again, and when he wasn't dizzy anymore, he invited Yuna to enjoy all the other possible rides.]

[Yuna and Leo went to enjoy all the other rides. Such as the carousel, bumper cars, teacups, pirate ship, drop tower, swing ride, and the pendulum ride.]

[The two of them finished riding all the rides they could have possibly wanted to enjoy.]

"That was fun! We should definitely hang out again," Leo joyously said.

"I'm down, I enjoyed the rides. Maybe not you since you puked on the rollercoaster, but that was thrilling."

"Don't bring that up now," Leo bluntly said.

"The sun is setting, it's very beautiful. But, I'll have to go, and you as well. I'll go to work now. And you should probably go home now. I'm sure you can manage that right?" Leo added.

"Don't belittle me, I'm not a kid anymore."

Leo pats Yuna on her soft gentle head, and says, "you are. We still are. We have a lot to learn about the world. But, I must go, take care!"

[Leo waves his hand as he leaves Yuna. He went to work, and Yuna called their driver to come pick her up.]

October 4

["I'm weary again today. But I can't rely on Leo to cheer me up again. The other day was definitely a great day. It certainly relaxed me from some stressful stuff recently. Like being responsible for the student's well-being."]

....

[After school, Leo didn't come to Yuna's room, neither did Yuna bother to come to Leo and Klau's room to meet them.]

["Hmm? We've certainly passed by each other. We just didn't talk nor greet each other."]

[Just as Yuna was leaving school, he spotted Leo from a distance…. She decided to follow Leo from afar. Leo walked some distance before he came to a stop. He looked around his surroundings as if he felt someone was stalking him. Yuna quickly hid in a shallow alley.]

"Following Leo? Are you his stalker?" Someone whispered into Yuna's ear.

[Yuna was spooked and jumped. She turned around and slapped the guy.]

After Yuna realized who it was, she apologizes softly, to not alert Leo "I'm sorry, Klau. Why did you whisper into my ear like that?"

"That hurts, but can I know why you are following Leo as well?" Klau bluntly said.

"You answer that question first then I'll share mine after."

"Leo was acting differently today, I figured, maybe I should follow him to know why," Klau quickly said.

"Leo is getting away, I'll explain while we follow him," Yuna said… while they are walking Yuna explained, "he didn't pass by my room to knock. And same to me, I didn't pass by your guy's room to check. And while I was leaving school, I spotted him from a distance. He wasn't with you, so I found that strange, that's why I decided to follow him."

"Ahh, I get it."

[A few more minutes of following Leo, Leo finally stopped and looked around. He sat on a chair outside of a cafe as if he's waiting for someone.]

["What is this dude doing here? All alone? Hmm, is he meeting with relatives? That isn't it, I bet."]

[A few moments after Leo sat down, a familiar feminine figure appeared and sat in front of Leo. They shaked hands to acknowledge each other. They started chatting after.]

["Who is this lady? It feels like I know her from somewhere."]

Yuna looks behind her and asks Klau, "do you know her? Seen here somewhere?"

Klau concentrates more to identify who it was. But he couldn't, "nope. No idea, never seen her before even when I was with Leo."

[The lady removes her sunglasses. And right at that moment, Yuna was blown away. She instantly identified who it was.]

"I can't believe it!" She said angrily.

Klau taps Yuna lightly and says, "calm down, you're gonna blow. Who is it anyway?"

"Jenna, supposedly someone that Leo knew and was his classmate from a while back. Maybe like last year," She elaborated.

"Oh, Jenna. Don't know her at all. She is good looking though," Klau casually said.

Yuna is already burning to see Jenna meeting with Leo privately. And Klau added fuel to the flame. Yuna punched Klau full power while whispering "brat!"

[Klau was in serious pain, but he absorbed the punch. So that he wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.]

Leo was still rubbing the pain away, and he said, "I thought you'd almost kill me."

"You deserve it," Yuna said furiously.

"Why are you so mad at Jenna anyway? Jealous?" Klau asked.

"No," Yuna whispered something into Klau, "Jenna likes Leo. I'm concerned for him."

"Ah, so this is what's the fuss about after stalking Leo all this time."

"Stay here, I'm going to pass by them. To at least hear what they are talking about. And you should head home, there's no point to meddle any longer," Yuna said and ordered Klau.

"Then, why are you going to pass by them?" Klau kept asking Yuna questions.

"You kept asking why I do this and that. But I'll explain one last time. There's a bookstore there, see it?" Yuna points to the bookstore, "I'm gonna go grab some items quickly and then go home after. Here's your explanation. Now go, go, scatter."

"What a mean lady, fine. I'm on my way" Klau went ahead and took off.

[Yuna stood firm for a second, practicing very quickly how to act normal while trying to pass by Leo and Jenna.]

[Yuna waited for a few seconds. Afterward, she walked with the crowd passing by the cafe as well.]

[Yuna could only hear loud noises from the people at the cafe and the ones walking as well. She couldn't figure out what they were talking about.]

["Well that was a mission that failed, very hard. It's not meant for me to meddle I guess."]

[Yuna just went into the bookstore. Grabbed a lot of items that she needed, and then went home.]

["I probably shouldn't bring this up to Leo. This is his personal life, after all, he is not obligated to tell me everything even if we were close.*]
