Yuiko's point of view
'I can't believe he told EVERYONE' she thought to herself knowing full well that Leo sat beside her in class. He had just jumped on that table and told the world. What to do. The school would be furious with them. And what about rumors? They would all assume that she was pregnant. That Leo was a wild beast that could not set a side his animalistic lust. But deep inside she was happy and proud he told them about it. But I was not funny that the teacher had walked in, in the exact moment he said fiancée. And now they had a meeting next Monday with their parents, the principal and homeroom teacher after school. Did he ever consider the consequences of his confession? No he didn't because Leo was really naïve and didn't think things through. But she loved him and his beast side. She loved that he was naïve and that he was childish at times and really grown up another time. Leo had not changed but she sure had since the night before. She got the story of her mother's dead and she began thinking about the future and what she wanted to do. And she was afraid that Leo's family would try to hurt him again.
Class ended and Leo stormed off to the gym with the other boys. But at the door he looked back over his shoulder and gave her a wide smile and flashed his predator like teeth and said "see you later Yuiko." She nodded and waved her hand in the air and he took off running after the other guys. She walked out of the classroom and headed to the toilets. On the way she passed two tall, slim model looking girls and they giggled together and one of them said "whore, right?" And smiled at her and pointed their fingers at her. She knew this was just the beginning but if she ignored the bullying they would probably stop. The important thing was that Leo never got to find out. He would be so sad and disappointed at himself. And she wanted him to stay the way he was a little longer.
When she finished, she headed for her next class. But on the way she stumbled upon her childhood friend Ichigo.
"Hey I hear you are getting married, and to the beast. How did that happen?" he said and looked down at her. She did not know how to respond to the question and remained silent. "Are you happy?" he asked worried because of her silence. "Yes, I'm very happy, that Leo and I am going to get married" she said and blushed and looked at her hands. "If you are happy, so am I. I'm glad you finally landed a man that can tolerate your crazy animal love" he said and they both laughed.
"It's been like, forever, since we hung out together. I got a new dog, Pablo died last fall. Don't look so sad, he was an old dog and died happy" he said. "I would love to see your new dog" she said. They arranged for her visit the next day.
When school finished and Leo was waiting at the gate they headed home to her house. She told him she had to visit a friend the next day and that she would not be able to walk home with him because she and her friend would go by train tomorrow. He understood but sulked the entire evening. She promised him a picture of the dog and that saved the mood a bit.
