I run up to Hanz,when I saw him walking out.

"Hanny! Breakfast!" I shouted,as I put on my shoes.

He was about to run,but I caught up with him.
"Wer ü goin'?" I asked.

"Tsk." He grab the sandwich in my hand.

"Hanny ? I know I shouldn't but...have you finish our arti---" He shoved the sandwhich in my mouth.

"Tha'll shut you up." He said smiling.

I chew just to finish the whole sandwhich.
He's so thoughtful isn't he? Yeah,I love the sarcasm.

We were walking when I saw Yuan,I was about to call him when Hanz covered my mouth.

"I forgot I need to buy some medicine,come with me." He grab my arm,and pull me.

(OvO) he wanted me to come to him? Yiieee.

***
I was eating the chocolate bar ,Hanz gave me.
When Yuan grab me.

"Come with me." Yuan said suddenly pulling me.

I didn't talk,I just went with him.

We went to the library,he's returning the book he borrowed.
He's talking to the librarian.

Then I notice his hands,he's hiding them behind his pockets.
I tried looking closely,but he hid his hand deeper.

"Boss,I don't have any money." He said joking.

I can clearly see his knuckles are bleeding.

"Let's go?" He asked smiling.

"Can I see your hand?"

"If you want to hold it,I won't mind" he said joking.

"Gabby." I said warning him.

"I'm fine,boss. Really." He said still smiling.

"Let me see them. Or I swear,i'll get mad at you." Before he can make some excuses,I grab his hand from both his pocket.

"Gabby! What happened?"

"Gabby! What happened?"

"Nothing. Um,wanna eat?"

"I'm not playing with you,what happened?"

"You don't need to worry about that."
He messed with my hair,while smiling.

I grab his hand,and pull him to the nurse's house.
The nurse,as usual,is busy with other student.

I grab a brand new med kit,and some medicine for his wounds.
"I'm not gonna ask again,what happened?" I asked.

"I help a kitten go down from a tree and---OUCH!"

I pour alcohol in his hand.

"Stop lying to me."
I grab his hand,and hold it as I pour medicine.
"I know you won't tell me. I mean,who am I? I'm just one of a girl in your sea of adoring fans and---" He hold my hand,with his.

I stopped,and look at him.
"I've always wanted to hold your hands."

"Yuan! Stop it,I'm cleaning your wounds." I let go of his hand,as I wrapped them up with bandages. "Next time,please. Stop hurting yourself."

"What if I choose to be hurt?"

"Only if it's worth the hurt. "

"You're worth it."
I look at him,confused.
"Let's go back,I don't want them to think your cutting classes."

After our class,Yuan said he'll treat me out for launch.
So,I said yes. I need to clean up my things because after eating,I have a part-time job to attend to.

After everyone left,I notice Hanz was still on his seat.

"Yuan you can go ahead,i'll just check something." Yuan nod,and I went back to the classroom.
Hanz was sleeping,so I poke his cheek.
"Hanny ? It's lunchtime. Don't you wanna eat?"

He opened his eyes,and pushed me.
"Just go with Yuan."

He looks so tired.

"But hanny."

"Just go! I can handle myself." He grab his bag and left.

I shake my head.

***
After my part-time job,I waited in the bench for master.
It's already been 2 hours,and he's still not coming.

I texted and call him,but he won't answer.

"Hanny,where are you?" I asked myself.

"Hey! Are you waiting for Rivero?" A guy asked.

"Yes! Have you seem him?"

"He's sleeping on the bench outside the locker room"

I didn't bother to thank him.
I run up to the gym,where everyone was cleaning up.
Then coach walked to me.

"Ms.Rivera,is Rivero alright? He was so tired,that he didn't even get to practice today."

"I'm sorry sir,he's been working on a lot of projects. Let me go and talk to him."

"Yes,and please bring him home."

I nod,as I run to Hanz.
"Hanny? Hanny!. Wake up." I said shaking him.

"Go away,I don't need you."

"But,hanny---"

He grab my waist,and pull me to seat beside him.
He rest his head on my shoulder.

"Really? In front of the locker room?" Coach asked.

"Sorry."

I woke him up again.
"Let's go home."

He hummed in reply.

"C'mon." I said pulling him.
He grab his bag,and stood up.

I help him walk,because he'll suddenly fall when walking.

He's so tired.
When we were in front of the school ,I laid him in the bench were I sat down.

"Can you carry me?" He asked.

"Yes,but your so heavy."

"I thought you love me."

"I do but---"

"You don't love me,enough."

I sigh as I give him my bag.
I stood up,and he jump into my back like a kid.

"You're heavy you know."

"I know."

I started walking,even though there's a man in my back who weighted twice my weight.

"Take a cab. I'll pay for it." He whispered.

"Oh thank God!"

After I call a cab,I pushed Rivero inside.
"To the Rivero's residence."

The cab driver nod.
