Love Life At School (Chapter Six)

She purposely disturbed their conversation.

Selina: Hi, guys…May I join you?

Arron: Ya…sure… (not satisfied)

Hebe: Hi, Selina…you wanna order any food?

Suddenly, Jiro came to their table.

Jiro: Arron, can I talk to you for a while?

Arron: Sure…

Arron and Jiro walked to the back of the stall.

Jiro: I am going to the supermarket now. I need to buy some things. At late evening, I will come back to the orphanage. You don’t have to wait for me to eat dinner. I guess I will eat outside tonight.

Arron: Ok…see you…

Jiro: Bye...

Jiro then walked away. Without him knowing, Wu Chun and Jerry followed him.

-------------------------
Ella then went finding for Arron. She found him at the stall.

Ella: Arron, this is urgent. Wu Chun had planned something against Jiro. You better hurry up before it’s too late.

Arron: Oh, no…excuse me, girls. I got to go now. I am so sorry. I need to help Jiro. Hebe, here is the money to pay for the food. Bye…

Arron ran to the supermarket. On the way, he spotted someone lying by the roadside. Arron quickly ran towards that person to help him. It was…Jiro!

Jiro’s leg was bleeding.

Arron: (panicked) Jiro, what happened to you?

Jiro was trying to speak but he just couldn’t. Arron think fast and went finding for a cab. When he was busy searching the whole area, he bumped into Selina.

Arron: Hi, Selina. Jiro is injured by the roadside. Can you please go and check on him?

Selina: (shocked) Oh my god! I will go right away.

She then quickly ran to the roadside. She found Jiro there.

Selina: Jiro, are you ok?

There was no answer. Jiro was unconscious. After a few minutes, Arron came with a cab. Arron and Selina quickly carried Jiro and placed him in the cab. The cab driver then drove them to the hospital.

-------------------------
(THE NEXT DAY)

Jiro slowly came into consciousness.

Selina: How are you doing, Jiro?

Jiro: Fine…I guess.

Selina: You should take rest. Then you will be much better.

Jiro: Alright…thank you so much for admitting me in hospital.

Selina: Actually, you should thank Arron. He was the one who helped you from the beginning.

Arron entered the room, holding a plastic bag with medicines inside.

Arron: Jiro, how are you doing?

Jiro: I’m fine. Anyway, how long have I been here?

Arron: It had been a day. Selina took care of you for the whole night…Here's the medicine. Jiro, please take it accordingly, as stated.

Jiro was not paying attention to Arron. He was busy admiring Selina.

Jiro’s P.O.V
Wow…Selina is so kind. She spent her time just to take care of me. I wonder whether she likes me, or maybe love me…
No…it can’t be. She probably takes me as a friend. But why does she have to sacrifice time just to look after me?
End of P.O.V

That thought was all over his mind.

Selina: Jiro? Are you still here? (started holding Jiro’s hand)

Jiro’s thoughts: Wah…she touched me…

Arron: Jiro? Ji…ro…? Come on man, quit dreaming.

Jiro: Huh? What? Oh, ok Arron. I will finish all the pills in one day.

Arron: Eh, you will die then. Were you even listening to me? Let me remind you again. Take the pills accordingly, as stated.

Jiro: Oh, ok.

The doctor came in. he told Jiro that he had to stay in the hospital for two days for full medical treatment.

Doctor: You will be discharged after that.

Jiro: Ok, doctor.

The doctor then left.

Selina: Tomorrow I will come again and bring food for you. I have to go now. My parents are probably worried. Take care. Bye.

Jiro: Bye…Selina.

Arron stayed with Jiro the whole day.

Arron: What had actually happened to you? Why was your leg injured? Why were you laying by the roadside? (asked in a rush)

Jiro: Arron…slow down. I will tell you. I was attacked by two men. It was hard to fight them back. They hit my leg with bats until I can’t feel my leg. It was really frightening. Both of them were wearing black ski masks. I wonder why the only hit my leg and not my whole body.

Arron: Eh, You should be lucky that you survived. The person who did this to you must be Wu Chun and Jerry.

Jiro: How do you know?

Arron: Ella heard their plan and told me. I quickly rushed to save you. But it was too late.

Jiro: At least I survived. Thanks, Arron.

Arron: Hey, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

-------------------------
(THE NEXT DAY)

Arron went to school. He met with Hebe, Ella, Calvin and Angela.

Calvin: We heard that Jiro is injured. How is he now?

Arron: He’s fine.

Calvin: Let’s go and visit him after school today.

Hebe: Ok. But, we got one more problem. Selina is not here too.

Arron: Don’t worry. She is taking care of Jiro in the hospital.

Calvin: Oh…really? (wondering whether something happened between Jiro and Selina)

Arron: Ya…anything wrong?

Calvin: No…it’s nothing.

-------------------------
Meanwhile, in the hospital…

Selina: Jiro, I am going down to buy food.

Jiro: Ok.

Jiro’s P.O.V
I think this is right time to take a bath. I am all sweaty. Worst of all…I stink! Well, I should do it now before she comes back.
End P.O.V

Jiro was happily whistling while bathing. After a few minutes, he came out of the bathroom, wearing a towel. He then put on his top. He took out his towel to wear pants when Selina came in! Selina quickly turned towards the door the moment she saw Jiro in that condition.

Jiro saw Selina and panicked. He screamed in his mind. AHHHHHHHH!!! He quickly put on his pants.

Selina: What are you trying to do?

Jiro: (hesitated) Erh…erh…erh…

Selina: Never mind. I got to go now.

Jiro: WAIT! You…didn’t…see…anything…right?

Selina: Hmm…of course, NO! Now, bye bye!

Selina rushed towards the door. She suddenly realized that she was still holding the food she had bought for Jiro. She quickly walked three steps BACKWARDS to reach the table.

Jiro: Eh, why are you coming back? You better don’t do anything bad to me!

Selina: Relax. I am just going to put the food on the table and run away as fast as I could.

Selina did that and vanished in a blink of an eye.

Jiro walked back and forth in the room.

Jiro’s P.O.V
Zen me ban? What to do? What if she lied about not seeing anything? Oh my god! What if she saw my…
End of P.O.V

Jiro started to think crazy things in his mind.

!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*

He quickly hid under the bed sheet and tried to calm down. After a few hours, he managed to do that and fell asleep.
