The students are starting to fill the gymnasium, and the place is starting to get noisy. "Let's get ready, Van." James told his best friend. "I'll see you later, Julia." Van told Julia, then afterwards, he walks away with James to prepare their things. "I can't wait!" Julia smilingly whispers to herself, and she feels like she's walking in the clouds because of happiness. ======================= Van gave them 15 minutes to answer the mock Math test. The other students are all busy answering their papers, but Julia already finished answering all of them. She is now using her free time just staring at Van's handsome face Van is reading a book, and he seems to be focusing on it too much. But he still looks handsome, so she's just satisfied staring at him... But she secretly gasped when Van caught her staring at him! "Are you done with your paper?" asked Van. Julia started blushing because of extreme embarrassment. "Y-Yes." she stupidly stammers, while giving her paper to him. Van reviewed her paper, and he smiles at her. "Since Julia's the first one to pass her, she will have a price from me. Here's your reward." Van took out a medium-sized chocolate bar from his pocket and gave it to Julia. "Thank you." Julia smilingly said, as she feels. like flying in the air because of so much joy. "You deserved it." Van said in return. Few minutes have passed, and the time is finally up. The students passed all their papers and once it was all collected, Van suddenly went infront. "Everyone, I have something to you." The whole class exchanged glasses with each other. On the other hand, Julia suddenly became nervous. "---This is our last lesson to you because we are busy with the entrance exams to enter the University..." Julia was taken back after hearing Van's sudden announcement. She's wondering on why her brother didn't say anything about this... ============================ Later that night. "Why didn't you tell me you and Van's plan on quitting the tutoring activities?" Julia interrogated her brother, as soon as they finished their dinner. "If I tell you about it, would something change between you and Van?" James shot back at his sister. Julia wasn't able to say anything because she thinks that her brother is right. But she can't deny the fact that she's hurting because she won't see Van as much as she wants to... James helplessly sighed, and he feels sorry for his sister. "Van and I are doing this for our future. This is what we're supposed to do. We need to study hard, get into a prestigious University, graduate, and find a good job. I know you will understand all of this one day." he explained, in a serious manner. "No, I don't think so!" Julia sulkily said, and then she started running away to go to her room. James just watches her sister go, until she was out of her sight. "You'll get over him one day, sis." he whispered to himself. =============================== Yuri is on her bed, while crying non-stop. She doesn't understand why everything has to change. Why does Van need to leave their hometown? What's the big deal of going to University, anyway? She has secretly harboring special feelings for Van for a very long time already. She can still remember the very first day she met Van. She remembered the day when her brother invited Van to their house just to hang out. And from that day on, her feelings for Van started to grow, as time goes by... Julia buried her face on her pillow. She wanted to cry out all night, hoping that the pain will lessen. "How long am I going to cry for you, Van?" she whispers, while she's in pain. ================================ It was a sunny Saturday, and it was supposed to be a family day but Julia's all alone at home. Her father had to attend an emergency meeting at work, while her mother needs to attend a Homeowner's meeting. Her brother, James, is at the bookstore buying some books. With a bored sighed, Julia decided to watch movies on a streaming site... She's been watching a certain movie for half an hour already when she suddenly heard someone knocking at the door. She got up from the couch and went towards the door. Julia's suddenly freezes when she saw Van standing at the doorway. And her good-for-nothing brother is standing next to him. Her mind went back to reality when she felt that someone is pinching her nose. It was none other than his stupid brother... "We're starving. Don't we have some snacks there?" James immediately asks her, as he enters the house along with Van. Julia just followed them inside, as if she's in a trance. "Well, there's some chips and soda there..." she answered. After a few minutes, Julia is holding a tray full of food and drinks for James and Van. She placed the tray on the table. "Thanks, Julia!" Van smilingly thanks her. While they are eating, James started to speak. "We have good news..." he said. Julia curiously looked at her brother and Van. "What is it?" she asks them. Yuri grew curious and excited when she heard him. "What is that, Brother?" he asked. "Well, we just got our University Entrance Exam result, and we passed the exam! We're going to the Metropolitan City to study there for four years." relayed James. Julia felt like someone has just dropped a bomb on her when she heard the news. "You're both going to leave me?" she asked, while getting teary-eyed. Van was about to say something but she wasn't able to do so when Julia suddenly stood up, then without a word, she suddenly walks away and left the house. Van was about to follow her, but James suddenly stops him. "She's my sister, Van. Don't give her too much hope. She's still young." James gave him a warning, as he's trying to protect her sister. Van helplessly sat down again, while feeling so sorry for Julia.
