April Xiao
(Tomorrow is the start of class. I should sleep early.)
She's still not sleepy yet that's why she decided to browse comics to read for the mean time.
April Xiao
This comic is interesting. I'll read it. *giggles*
April Xiao
It's still early to sleep anyway.
April Xiao
After this chapter I'll sleep.
After reading the chapter.
April Xiao
No, I'll need to read the next chapter. The story is getting interesting. After this I'll sleep.
April Xiao
This is really the last one.
April didn't sleep after the promised chapter. She continued reading. She's too engross to story that she finish it until the last chapter. In the end, she end up sleeping late.
Layla Ye
Psst, April wake up, the teacher is looking at you.
Teacher
Miss! This is not the infirmary.
April Xiao
*slowly open her eyes* *murmur* Eh, should I go to infirmary then?
April Xiao
*yawns* Oh, sowwy wrong place. *walks toward the door*
The students' laugh filled the room.
Teacher
Quiet! Miss, where are you going?
Instead arguing with April, the teacher controlled herself.
Teacher
You!... If you're not feeling well then go. *waves her hand*
Layla Ye
*face palm* you're really something.
Lunchbreak. In the infirmary.
April Xiao
Ahhh, I feel better *stand up then stretches*
Layla Ye
You read comics the whole night again, am I right?. Your eyebags are visible.
April Xiao
Hehehe *rubs her head*
April Xiao
The comic is really interesting that I want to read it badly.
April Xiao
I'm glad you're my classmate.
April gently grabs Layla's shoulder then grins.
April Xiao
You should try to cosplay the male lead. (Ehm ehm, I know she'll look good at it.)
Layla Ye
I'll try. You want to do it this saturday?
April Xiao
*tickles Layla* Hehe I'll be the villain.
Layla Ye
Hahaha stop, you silly girl.
After having their lunch they went back to their classroom.
April is reading comics as usual while Rui, her little brother is playing video games.
Upon smelling a tasty scent, April went to the kitchen to check her mother.
April Xiao
Ehmm, it looks good.
April looked at her mother's cooking with delight. Ready to devour it.
Alice Xiao (April's Mother)
Of course, as long as it is your mother's cooking it is delicious.
April Xiao
Haha, I know right.
Rui Xiao (April's Brother)

Alice Xiao (April's Mother)

April's Dad hugged her wife from behind then turned her around to kiss her forehead.
Alice Xiao (April's Mother)
I'm fine, you should sit now. I'll prepare the food.
Blake Xiao (April's Father)
Oh yeah, April, I heard Nathan came back yesterday from France.
April Xiao
Tan? really? It's been a while since we met.
Alice Xiao (April's Mother)
You mean the son of your boss? Her schoolmate?
Blake Xiao (April's Father)

April Xiao
Who's that handsome they're talking about, let me see.
April squeeze herself into the crowd.
April Xiao
Let me through.
Suddenly, more girls came in to the crowd and she was pushed through to the front. Fortunately, she didn't lost her balance.
April Xiao
These girls (I almost lost my balance.) *turn around*
April's eyes met his piercing eyes. She was mesmerized by his looks that she forgot that she's in the middle of the crowd. She blinks several times.
The man infront of her is looking at her like remembering her.
April Xiao
Eh, me? *looking around* how did you know my name?
Nathan show a geniune smile then suddenly hugs April.
April was utterly shocked.
April Xiao
(Eh eh eh ehhh, what's going on?)
.....
*whisper to her ear* You're mean, you don't remember your childhood sweetheart.?
Nathan lightly blows to her ear that made April shiver. April released herself to his embrace.
.....
(Oh, she remember me) Yo, are you doing well?
April and Nathan forgot that they are still in the middle of the crowd. The girls were looking at them the whole time.
Girl Y
They know each other?
Girl Z
Is she his girlfriend?
The girls kept on whispering.
April Xiao
(Ah, they're looking at us.)
Nathan grabbed April's hand and pulled her away from the crowd. They were looking at April with unpleasant feelings.
April Xiao
Aahaha *laughs in a nervous way*
April felt like she's going to be in trouble.
After a short walk, they stopped in a quiet place where fresh air circulate.
April Xiao
Are you really Tan?
Nathan touched April's hair.
Nathan Yan
You let your hair grow long. I like it.
A blush crept out from April's face. But then, she shook her head.
April Xiao
H-how come you are here?
Nathan Yan
Of course, to study.
April Xiao
Ah, I thought you went in the most prestigious school.
Nathan Yan
(It's because I heard you are here, as if I'll say that to her.) This is the closest school in our house. Why would I bother to go to far place.
April Xiao
Is that so? Hmm you're right.
Nathan sat down and lean to the tree. April breathe out before sitting next to him.
April Xiao
(Calm down, it's not like you don't know each other. Talk casual like you used to be.)
April Xiao
I was suprised how much you change. It seems like you're a different person.
Nathan Yan
Did I changed that much?
April Xiao
You dyed you hair, it looks good on you.
Nathan Yan
It's just for fun.
A strong wind suddenly passed at them. It made April's hair become mess and cover her face.
Nathan didn't hold his laugh.
Nathan Yan
Hahaha You became like Sadako.
Nathan help April fix her hair. After fixing her April, he fixate his attention to April's eyes.
*whispering* You really have a beautiful eyes.
Nathan is too close to April that she can smell his minty breath. Her heart was rapidly beating.

Episode 3: Carrots
April Xiao
U-uhm, Tan? Something wrong with my face?
Nathan came back to his senses.
Nathan Yan
Ah, nothing, you just have a mosquito bite in your right cheek.
April quickly touched her cheek to check if there was really a mosquito bite.
Nathan Yan
*chuckles* I'm kidding.
Nathan Yan
*pats her head* Let's go.
April nodded and Nathan offered his hand to help April stand up.
As expected they got the student's unnecessary attention.
Layla Ye
April! (Who's that guy beside her?. I never saw him before.)
April Xiao
Lay! *waves hand*
Layla walked towards their direction.
Layla Ye
Mind introducing him.
Layla is giving Nathan a sharp eyes but Nathan was unaffected.
April Xiao
Oh yeah, he is Nathan, my childhood friend.
April Xiao
Tan, she is Layla, my bestfriend.
Layla Ye
(childhood friend?)
Layla Ye
Nice to meet you.
Nathan hung his arm across April's shoulder. April was surprised but she didn't bother to remove his arm.
Layla Ye
(Wah! Don't be too close to her.)
While April is busy typing to her phone, Layla pushed Nathan away from April and that made Nathan stumble and almost fell.
Nathan gave Layla a 'what's your problem' look and Layla looked back with 'Don't be close to her' look.
Nathan Yan
(By any chance, are you...hmm) *smirk*
Layla Ye
(Geh!, did he know already?)
April looked at them with confused look.
Layla Ye
It's nothing, I just tripped myself that's why I accidentally pushed him.
Nathan was surrounded by girls. Luckily, he spotted the two walking towards the cafeteria, and decided to follow them to avoid the girls.
Layla Ye
Why are you following us?
Nathan Yan
Is it wrong to have a lunch together with my childhood friend?
April sat next to Layla while Nathan sat across them. They purchased same dish, curry.
April Xiao
Tan, I'll take your carrots.
April carefully get the carrots from his plate and transfer to her plate.
Layla Ye
Why are you taking his carrots.? You can take mine if you want.
April Xiao
Ah, it's because he don't like carrots.
Layla Ye
Are you allergic to carrots?
Layla Ye
Then why did you bought curry?
Nathan Yan
...No. Its just that I don't like the taste.
Layla Ye
Opposite to April then, she love carrots, just like rabbits.
April Xiao
Who is like a rabbit?
Layla Ye
Ahem, I didn't say you're a rabbit.
April Xiao
...Hmp. From now on, I love carrots more than you.
Layla flicked April's forehead.
April Xiao
Ouch *acting sobbing*
Layla Ye
Don't be dramatic. Let's eat first.
April Xiao
*coughs* Thank you for the food.
Nathan Yan
This curry was good but your mom's curry was more delicious.
April Xiao
You still remember?
Layla Ye
I don't want to let down my Mom but I agree with you.
April Xiao
Ahaha, don't worry atleast she cooks edible foods.
Layla Ye
Well, you're right.
Layla suddenly choked after hearing what Nathan said.
Nathan Yan
By the way, I heard you are engaged to Gerald Lin?
Layla Ye
*coughing* w-where did you get that information?
Nathan Yan
*shrug* Well, just heard it from gossips.
April Xiao
Lay! *shakes Layla* is that true?
Layla Ye
*lightly scratching her face* Uhmm y-yeah.
April Xiao
Why you didn't tell me?
Layla Ye
Its because...it's not important. Besides, I hate him.
April Xiao
He must did something serious that made you hate him. How could he...
Layla Ye
Layla: Don't worry, it's nothing.
Layla Ye
Layla gave reassuring smile.
April Xiao
...If you say so...
