Chapter Four: Near You

Jin stayed still for a while then closed his eyes. He tried to picture the girl again in his mind. Beautiful. But why did she leave so soon? Was it something I said? Jin thought about these questions. He shook his head and sighed. I didn't even get a chance to ask for her name. And I also didn't get the chance to give her bracelet back. Oh well.


The next day, Julia and Xiaoyu headed for school together. "Wow," Julia said in awe as she saw their school.

"Yeah, I know. It's really big here." Xiaoyu replied "And we have our first class together!"

"That's great!"

"So let's go to class"

"Um, I need to go to the washroom for a sec. You go to class first."

"Oh, okay. Remember, the classroom is the third door from the right"

"Okay, got it." Julia ran to the comfort room. She combed her hair a little then got out. She searched for her classroom until she found it. The teacher motioned for her to wait outside the door. The teacher began to talk.

"Students, we have a new pupil, Julia Chang" Julia entered the room and smiled shyly to all her classmates. "There are two new students but it appears that the other one is late. Anyway, Julia, take your seat on the fourth column, sixth row."

"Yes, sir" Julia obeyed and headed for her seat. She sat down and made herself comfortable. She tapped the guy in front of her. He looked back.

"Yes?" Julia froze.

Jin froze too. Sitting behind him was the girl he saw in the subway, the one he took in his house and the one who lost her bracelet. Wow, I've already met her so many times but I still don't know her name... Jin thought sarcastically.

"Hey, I know you" the girl finally said

"Yeah. And I know you, too"

"You were the one who brought me in a house after the storm, right?"

"Yes"

"Oh, um, thanks"

Jin smiled his dazzling smile "Your welcome"

"So, um, what-"

"Class, here's another new student, Hwoarang!" the teacher announced, interrupting the conversation they were having.

Hwoarang smiled widely and jokingly "Hello, hello, my dear classmates"

"Hwoarang, third column, sixth row." The teacher announced. Hwoarang took his seat.

"So, you're the new student!" a voice said. He turned to his left and saw Julia.

"What? You're here, too?!"

"Yeah. Is that a crime?!"

"Uh, no. It's just that I've seen you so many times. You must can't get enough of me, huh?" Hwoarang said with a smirk.

"What an airhead" He heard someone say. He looked at the guy in front of Julia.

"What's your problem?!" Hwoarang snapped

"Nothing. It's just that you're an ugly airhead"

What did you say?" he asked in shock

"Guys, stop! Julia said stopping them

Soon, it was lunchtime. Julia walked through the cafeteria when Xiaoyu called her. "Julia, come sit with us!"

"Okay, I'm coming" she took off towards the table Xiaoyu was on but suddenly bumped into someone. "Um, sorry"

"I'm sorry, too" the guy she'd bump into said. He was blond and he had nice blue eyes. Wow, this guy's good-looking... Julia thought without thinking.

"Um, hi, I'm Julia Chang"

"Steve Fox" the guy said grinning and offering her a hand. She took it and got up.

"Thanks"

"No problem" Steve replied. Julia headed for Xiaoyu's table. Hwoarang and Jin were there, too. She sat down and grinned.

"So who was that guy I bumped into?"

"Hmm...Steve Fox?"

"Yeah. He looks really good."

"I know. We have half the student population of girls crushing on him and the other half's crushing on Jin"

"Oh. Too bad" Julia said shaking her head.

"Wait! I haven't introduced you yet to my best bud!"

"Huh?"

"Okay. Julia Chang, this is Jin Kazama and vice versa"

"Hey, Jin!" Julia said cheerfully

"Um, hi. So, you like Steve, huh?" Jin asked

"Uh... I do think he's cute and all but..."

"Well, do you?

"Why, Jinny? Are you jealous?" Hwoarang asked mockingly

"Um, no"

"So, what do you care, then?"

"Hwoarang, why don't you ask yourself that question? What do you care?! It wasn't you who I was asking" Jin snapped

"Hey, guys, quit it. I just had this totally fabulous amazing idea!" Xiaoyu said

"What is it?"

"Well, I think tomorrow, we should skip school and go to an amusement park. Isn't that a great idea?"

"No. An amusement park is a totally lame place, Xiao" Hwoarang said

"It isn't lame!"

"Yes, it is"

"Hey, I think we shouldn't skip school. Who knows what'll happen to us if we get caught?" Julia spoke up.

"Come on, Jules! Please, please, please?" Xiaoyu pleaded

"But..."

"Please?"

"Fine." Julia finally gave in.

"Yeah! Good!" Xiaoyu exclaimed. Jin looked like he was about to say something. But Hwoarang beat him and spoke first.

"Wait. Look, if Julia doesn't wanna come then let's not go. Let's not force her."

"Really?" Julia squeaked happily, surprised at what he said.

"Yeah" Hwoarang said smiling. Julia gave him a warm hug. He was a bit taken aback and so was she.

"Um, sorry. I didn't mean to..." Julia said looking down

"Hey, that's okay!" he exclaimed and embraced Julia

"Ooh, I wanna give Jin a hug, too!" Xiaoyu shrieked happily and squeezed Jin tightly.

"Maybe we can go to the amusement park some other time," Julia piped up then shook her head "I'm really sorry, guys but we just can't skip school..."

"Don't worry" Jin said putting his hand on her shoulder. Julia seemed startled and Jin quickly put his hand away.
