Rina: The Japanese Transfer Student ||On Hold||

03 : Goals

"Hey, Scarlett, can I talk to you for a sec?" 

She shuts her locker and looks at me. "Rina! Yeah sure!"

"Follow me" 

I lead her to an empty classroom. Despite being new here, I paid attention to how early and how late a class would start. It helped me study more. Heck, it was like a cheat-code with less funny business.

"What's up, Ri?" She said smiling, and putting her hands in her cardigan's pockets.

"Why did you break up with Peter?"

She suddenly looked serious and moved her eyes to the ground. "That has nothing to do with you, Ri"

"Don't call me Ri, please! And how can you just text me about cosplay right after your breakup?"

"I cheated..."

"...What?"

"There's a guy named Lucas, from another class, and he was nice and I was- depressed"

She took a deep breath and continued. "I forgot about Peter coming over that day...Who am I kidding? I forgot about Peter! And I kssed him right in front of Peter..."

I could tell she was about to cry. "Did you explain it to him?-"

"I fell in love with Lucas"

"You- what?"

"I never called Peter for my problems ever since we started dating" Her tears let out and she was sobbing "But Lucas...he was there whether I called him or not..."

"Um..." I scratch the back of my head "I don't know what to do, but I'll try to send you a cosplay wig early!"

Scarlett giggled through her tears.

"What are you two doing here? Get to class!" 

Crap, I forgot about the time "Yeah we were just about to leave!" 

I grabbed her and left the classroom. 

"What class are you having next?"

"Algebra" Scarlett sighs, wiping off her tears. "Tutor me?"

"Just because I'm Asian does not mean I'm a Math Wiz!"

"Touch a nerve, Ri?"

"Go on to your little lesson!" I said as I shooed her.

She waved at me before runnng off n the opposite direction.

I'm not good at dealing with these so-called love problems. I may have had a boyfriend before, but the way we broke up was never anything to fuss about. We both knew that we didn't feel any 'sparks'. It was just a respect. He repected me for being kind and brave, and I adored how faithful and cheery he was. But he was a year and a half, younger than I was.

It was some sort of relationshp of a student and their teacher. Believe me, love problems were not an issue for me and most of my friends.

'm always relieved when it comes to the end of class. But today was different, I needed to talk to Peter right away. I should ask Dean or Christina for help! But what should I say? 

"Rina!" A amliar voice called out to me.

I turn and wasn't surprised. "Yes, Dean?"

"You're not coming? We're going to eat at-"

"Just man up and go eat with her!"

"Please! Come! Peter can't go either!"

"Where is Peter?"

"Basketball practice, maybe?"

"Okaythanksbye!" I said as I run off to the basketball court.

I'm thinking of buying new shoes, the ones I'm wearing are about to fade away with all my walking. I turn my head to try and find Peter a bit more easily. After moments of looking, I found him. Sitting on the benches, with Keegan; he's a bully but he gets along with his teammates. Keegan has been a very bad child ever since Middle School, from what I heard.

I hesitantly sat next to Peter, making Peter the person in between me and Keegan.

"Hey!" I greeted to the two of them.

"Hey, Rina" Peter greeted back. 

All Keegan gave me was a weak smile that showed that he didn't want me here. 

"Can I talk to you alone?"

"Why? Are you going to confess to Peter, Ms. Japanese Transfer Student?" Keegan suggested menacingly. I knew he was going to bully me sometime.

"Bite me, Keegan" I glared at him. "Please! This is about Scarlett!"

"I-"

"What about her? There's nothing wrong with her" He glared at me a bit more seriously this time.

I ignored Keegan. "Please, Peter?"

"Ahem! Slut!" And he fake-coughs a second time.

"Look, Peter, I just want to tell you this on behalf of Scarlett-"

"Leave, Japanese Girl!" Keegan threathened.

"Enough! Me and Scarlett broke up, okay?" Peter said to Keegan.

"I'm sorry man, this is all my step-brother's fault"

"Lucas and Scarlett are in love and I just wanted to tell you that"

Keegan and Peter both looked at me surprised. 

"Key, Lucas is your step-brother?"

"Yeah"

"I'll try and be happy for them"

"HUH!?" Me and Keegan exclaimed in unison.

He stood up. "Lucas isn't a bad guy, you are Key"

"Bro" Keegan stood up as well, placing his hand over Peter's shoulder. "I just have sadistic issues!"

I furrowed my eyebrows at them both. "What a freaky friendship..." I muttered silently to myself.

"You can leave now, sushi" Keegan made his head point to the gate.

"I will, mohawk!" I got out and left.

I could see clearly that they were both surprised. Their mouths were practically on the ground. I am going to write out some goals.

Goal 1 [ ] Match up Dean And Christina

Goal 2 [ ] Help pick Peter up from hs heartbreak

Goal 3 [ ] Find out who Lucas really is

Goal 4 [ ] Show 'Key' who's boss

Goal 5 [ ] Pass high-school wth flying colors

We'll see how long it will take for all these to be accomplished. This won't take too long. I'm Rina and I'm Asian after all.
