The next day,..
I come to school as usual but there's something different. All people are staring at me. I think there's something on my clothes so I check it but there's nothing strange. I wonder why they're staring at me.

"Elle!!!" Emily calls me.

"Hi Emily, how's your condition today?" I ask her.

"Save it for later, you have to see this" Emily says and grabs my hand to the school wall magazine.

"Hey,can you slow down a bit?" I complain. But she doesn't answer me

"See that.." She says as she points her index finger to the wall magazine.

When I see the wall magazine,
I'm surprise. I see many photos of me and Mike were sitting on the rooftop bench. It must the person who takes our picture yesterday.

"What the heck is this!!!" I mumble as I rip the photos.

I was so mad. I rip all the photos in every single wall magazine. And suddenly...

"Hey,it's useless" Mike says as he holds my hand which is still ripping the photos.

"Mike...." I say subtly.

"That's why I don't want you to interact with me in the school area except the rooftop. You'll get into trouble" He says.

Oww..so that's why he didn't want me to talk with him at school area.

"So you're protecting me?" I ask.

"No" he replies coldly.

"So what do you mean by no?" I ask.

"I just don't want to involve anyone into my problem" he says.

"I see..." I say.

"Erhmm..erhm..." Emily clears her throat.

"I forgot that you're here" I say

"Is this rumour true?" She asks me.

"Of course not" I reply.

"So what are you doing with him on the rooftop? " She asks me.

"Er..we bumped each other and someone took our photos secretly" I explain.

"Mmm..I see" Emily says.

"You've known my love problem don't you, that traumatic" I say.

"Yeah, there's no way you would fall in love anymore" Emily says.

"That's right" I say.

"I have to go" Mike says.

"Ok" I reply.

After Mike had gone....

"Elle, do you like him?" Emily smirks.

"O-of course not you remember my traumatic,right?" I reply.

"Wound can be healed by a new wound" Emily smiles.

"What was that suppose to mean?" I ask her.

"Huh, you're dense,Elle" Emily signs.

"Was that a compliment ?" I ask her.

"Fool, your traumatic can be healed with new love" Emily says.

"New Love?...." I say .

"Yea,, that's the only thing that can cure your traumatic" Emily says.
