The day after we'd arrived back in Japan, we had o go back to Mishima High. Asuka greeted me with a hug and congratulated me on my relationship with Jin. Next Ling came running up and tackled me with Miharu trail behind her.
"Xiao, look!" Mi gasped. They'd found my bracelet. "That is soo pretty Lin!" I smiled and kissed Jin's cheek. Xiao looked happy for me.
José stared over at me from a table. I think he regretted letting me go. I ran over to him and gave him a hug from behind. "Hola, amigo. ¿qué tal?"
He smiled. "Nothing much. I got my wish."
"Oh yeah? And what wish was that?"
"That you'd come back." I smiled. José began to get up. "Bueno, tengo que irme. Tengo clase."
"Since when did you care about class?"
"Since now."
That cut me deep. I don't know why. It just did. Jin put his arms around me. He didn't say anything. He didn't have to.
A few minutes passed before he said, "Come on, we should go to class, too." I smiled at him and took his hand in mine. My fingers laced in his.
