"Are you mad at me?" Neo asked, they are at the rest room, Neo is cleaning the little one's bloody lips so she can put on some ointment. They were too close, Kylie is sitting on the mirror table while Neo is standing so they can match up the hight difference.
As they got inside the rest room Neo locked the door and approaching the mirror table as she noticed it she shocked Kylie while lifting up her and make her sit on the table like a baby, while coming back with first aid kit Neo noticed Kylie's stare is not an angry one that she held at those people who humiliated her.
Kylie didn't stopped staring at the elder waiting for an answer patiently. "No." Kylie answered shortly, Neo is not used to her short answers. "The punch was incredible, I love it." Neo commented with a smile wanting to fade away the tension.
But the tension was the same, Kylie just stares at her all the time with those eyes of asking for an explanation, even after Neo was done caressing Kylie's little wounds, the stare didn't stop. Like no other day Neo has felt uncomfortable with her stare and Neo tries her best to avoid it.
Kylie's physical wounds couldn't even compared with her heart's one. Neo finally decided to face the little one and open up with her, Neo stood up in front of the little one properly and stares back, "Imma explain everything."
"My little brother should under go a surgery, his life depends on it, it costs too much than we can effort, dad's friend has agreed to give the money but the cost is me. He said if I'll marry his son he'll pay up all the bills." Neo explained leaving Kylie in dilemmas.
"Let's do something to make money, and you won't have ro marry that ugly creature." Even though she can say that the situation is serious, Kylie wants to give a hope, Neo let out a chuckle for the way Kylie express her anger on that boy,
"Yeah I thought the same, but it's a lot of money." Neo admitted, "I can ask my parents if they can-" Neo cutted her, "No, do not bring my problems to your house. I can handle this problem, I'll made the money in anyway." Neo lied she knew the money is argent and not even their whole families can gather that much in such a short time.
"I can help, I can do a job too." Little one added, making Neo smile. Neo knows how much she means to Kylie and of course Kylie means the everything to her."No way! Your exam is coming in two months, just study hard don't miss on anything, it's matter to your future, I can handle this my parents won't agree ro that deal, with them I can find the money." Neo lied again.
They have already agreed to the deal and Kylie is not that dumb, tears escaped Kylie's eyes, she pulled Neo closer to her wrapping arms around her sholders, she knew Neo was lying, and they are helpless now, "Hey..." Neo murmured worried and hugs her back while caressing Kylie's wolf cut hair. Neo heard the sniffs and her heart aches.
"Then why did you allow him to kiss you?" Kylie asked with her voice cracking, that made Neo speechless, she knew that her try has failed, Kylie is not a kid who get fooled easily. "I'm sorry." Neo whispered tightening the hug, she let her cry as long as she eant in her embrace.
Neo losses the hug to face the little one, who's crying too much, she wants to stop the little one crying because she couldn't bear seeing this senario. It hurts her heart, "Stop crying, it won't change anything." Neo wiped the little one's wet cheeks.
Little one obeyed the elder and stared at her with those teary eyes, sniffing upwards, "My good girl." Neo commented before reaching the little one's lips, which are showered with salty tears. Both of them felt like their world has ended and this is the last moment they have to be together.
They shared so many, no one ever blamed the other they used to be kind to eachother more than they'll be kind to anyone out there. They were perfect, lived a carefree life and always loyal to the other. Never put the fault on the other, never left alone eachother in a problem.
Unexpectedly their fate has turned their back to them, the fate doesn't want the perfect couple to be together, Neo determined to not to drag Kylie to her problems.

Kylie came to the park, with an avocado flavoured lollipop on her mouth, as Hanya begged many times through a call and just putting both hands on her hoodie pockets she sitted next to Hanya, who have already noticed her, Kylie stares at the air without emotions. Hanya admired the boyish eyes of Kylie.
"Why do you want to meet me?" Being annoyed by the glances of her finally she asked. "To ask you out again." Hanya said shamelessly. "Then bye." Kylie was about to go away but as soon as she stood up Hanya hold her hand from preventing going there. Kylie held an emotionless stare at her.
It's been three months since she got no news about Neo, Kylie is not the old person who shows kindness to everyone but still has the sense though. So she acts like she doesn't care about anyone.
"I've got her permission." Hanya admitted making Kylie curious. Kylie just looked at her waiting for her answer, "Neo gave me the permission to be your girlfriend." Hanya explained and excited Kylie who has got no reply from Neo sitted down again, "Neo? Did you contact her?" Hanya noticed the sudden mood change of the elder, "How is she? Is she alright?" Kylie asked worried.
"I guess you haven't checked your chats cause you had morning classes." Hanya hinted and Kylie got her phone immediately.
