“Yinnnn~ wake up~~” the sound of Natas voice roused Yin from his sleep, it was 5:30am, he usually got up at this time, this was the time him and Nata did exercises.
He got dressed into some loose sports clothing and went to meet Nata who was waiting downstairs, she was also dressed in sports clothing, looking at Yin arriving she grinned.
“Let’s see if you can finally beat me today eheh” she teased, they had races when they ran together, Nata would always win, she was faster than most olympic athletes and this wasn’t exaggerating!
“Nata you know that’s clearly impossible, it’s like your body was build for speed..” he said sighing once more, Nata was lean and supremely fit, much like a cheetah.
They went outside the house, the residence they were living at was rather large, it had a forest behind it that Nata and Yin had both scoped out when they first arrived, they found a nice trail to run on, one lap around the cross country trail was 2.5 miles, they usually did around 10 laps in the morning before Yin had to grab some breakfast and then go to school.
“Let’s gooo!” Nata shouted and started running off into the distance towards the trail, Yin had no choice but to follow the enthusiastic Nata.

“Pahh I always feel refreshed after running in the morning” Nata stretched as they sat at the table eating their breakfast, Yin nodded and took a sip of his water, he also loved exercising in the morning, it stretched the muscles and warmed them up for the day, all in all it was a refreshing way to spend the early hours of the morning.
Yin thought of something and swallowed down his food so he could ask Nata the thoughts on his mind.
“Hey Nata, do you know why Dad wants to see me tomorrow? it seems really important” he questioned, Nata was also a trusted figure in their family, both his Father and Mother trusted her hugely.
Nata smiled at the questions of the curious boy in front of her.
“Hmm, who knows, you’ll find out tomorrow anyway” she replied, still smiling, Yin knew she knew something about it but wouldn’t tell him, it must be an agreement she had with his parents.
“True..” Yin agreed with a nod of his head.
After they had finished breakfast they headed to the car and went on their way to school, Nata decided to play some rock music whilst she was driving and was singing the lyrics passionately, this made Yin laugh a lot in the back, his negative thoughts about going to school were completely washed away by Nata’s performance.
“We’re here” sounded Nata’s voice from the drivers seat, they had arrived at school, it was busier than yesterday due to it being the actual time of starting, beautiful and luxurious cars were everywhere.
“Have a good day Yin, I’ll come pick you up when it finishes” Nata said, ruffling his hair out of the window and then proceeded to drive off, Yin took another look around, the one thing that caught his eye was the fierce looking red head getting out of a lamborghini, his eyes met with Yin’s and a look of anger clouding Ned Jean’s eyes.
“Oh look it’s the commoner” Ned Jean hissed as he walked over to Yin, he didn’t bother to disguise the look of disgust on his face at all.
“You should know this school is for the elite, how can you compare with me, the son of the CEO of UltraElectronics!” he yelled, boasting about his background, this was indeed a forminable backing, UltraElectronics was a leader in the electronic market, it sold anything from TVs to computers, it had hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue each year, the CEO was a multi millionaire with lots of power, Ned Jean being this mans son, no wonder no one said anything to him.
“That doesn’t make you anymore of a better person” Yin fired back, he wasn’t fazed at all by the anger that seemed to radiate off of Ned Jean.
“What did you say you little fuck?” Ned Jean hissed again, stepping forwards and grabbing Yin’s shirt.
“I suggest you unhand me, Ned” Yin suggested as he looked around, a crowd had gathered, suddenly from within the crowd a beautiful young girl came flying out, a look of anger on her face, it was Kiu.
“Ned Jean!” She yelled, at her side was a older looking man, his face had scars all over it, this man was a bodyguard.
Kiu pointed at Ned and instructed her bodyguard to do something, the older man who was dressed in a butler esk suit came running towards Ned Jean, grabbing his shirt and throwing him on the ground, restraining him.
Ned couldn’t even resist and lay there, his eyes seething with anger and hate towards Yin, Kiu finally arrived at the side of Yin and looked at Ned Jean with disgust.
“Look at you, you look pathetic” Kiu berated towards Ned, she hated him, it was clear to everyone to see.
Hearing such words from his dream girl he went red with shame, putting his head down, hiding his face, he knew he had no way to win her over now, she disliked him a lot.
“Yin, are you okay?” Kiu quickly switched faces and asked with a warm smile, this made Yin quite wary of her, a girl who can switch faces so fast is scary!
“Yes I’m fine, thank you Kiu” Yin replied, as he said thank you Kiu’s face blushed slightly but Yin didn’t notice this.
“Good, let’s go to class” Kiu smiled, knowing Yin was alright.
They both went to class, to the envy of all the students that Yin got to walk with the number one beauty.

Lunch time.
Kiu came to Yin’s desk with an excited face.
“Yin, follow me” she said, not giving him any chance to react, Yin nodded and followed closely behind, Kiu took him to the courtyard outside the building, after going through a few winding paths and wooded areas they arrived at a temple like building.
This reminded Yin of some temple dojo as he followed Kiu in.
‘Hmm’ he thought inside, looking around it was actually a dojo of sorts, you could smell the sweat in the air of people recently working out, as they went further inside, they came across some japanese like sliding doors that once opened let them into the main hall.
Kiu went up to the sliding doors and opened them, as she did the members of this dojo came into view.
“Hua!”
“Sha!”
They chanted in unison, the person at the front, who Yin believed to be the instructor was making them do a series of punches and kicks on the spot.
As the instructor heard the sliding doors open and saw Kiu walk through he instantly hurried over with a smile on his face.
“Haha! Kiu, you haven’t been to club for a couple days!” he exclaimed, his voice was strong and deep, looking at this 6 ft 7 giant, muscular looking man Yin observed him and couldn’t help but notice how handsome he was, clearly he was any girls dream man, strong and handsome.
The mans eyes suddenly turned to look at Yin, obviously just noticing him, “Hmm is this the reason why?” he mused, sizing Yin up.
“Hehe, don’t tease me Jan, I’ve brought Yin to join our martial arts club!” she quipped, a smile on her face.
“Well you are the vice-president of the martial arts club and in charge of recruiting, good he looks quite sturdy” Jan said, smiling.
Hearing this Yin was instantly shocked, she was nice to him just because she wanted him to join her club? So all of her niceness was just a way to lure him in?, these thoughts raced through Yin’s mind, he was angry, angry at himself and angry at Kiu, she tricked him! He thought he was special! how foolish!
“Yin?” Kiu asked, Yin hadn’t moved and he had his face down so you couldn't see what expression he was making.
“Hahahaha! silly me! Well done! you almost got me, do you usually try and use your beauty to lure people in?!” he yelled, bringing his eyes up to meet Kiu’s, Kiu froze, she didn’t know what to say.
“Hey you little bastard how dare you speak to Kiu like that!” Jan roared, he was a violent man by nature and Kiu was his most precious person, how dare this kid speak to her like this!
Yin shrugged his comments off and turned away, running off, he felt foolish that he was almost tricked into thinking he’s special.
“H-Hey Yin, wait!” Kiu’s voice barely managed to reach his ears as he sprinted off.
‘Haha! of course! how could she like me? I clearly got the wrong idea, I bet that Jan is her boyfriend anyway, he’s extremely handsome, unlike me!’ he spoke to himself inside, berating his own foolishness to get tricked, he should of known, he wasn’t special at all.
The reason Yin was so angry was because he felt betrayed, last night as he was thinking so much about it he thought that it might be possible that Kiu liked him in some way, this thought made him feel excited and hopeful, all of that was just shattered by todays events.
The rest of the day Yin ignored Kiu, even if she tried to approach him he ignored her, eventually Kiu gave up and didn’t approach him anymore.
‘This is for the best’ he said to himself, the way Kiu stopped approaching him enforced his idea that she was only using him to make him join her club.

After school Yin went to his car and was silent all the way home, Nata tried to cheer him up like usual but he just wasn’t into it, later that evening when him and Nata were eating dinner, just the two of them, Nata tried to cheer him up once more.
“Hey, Yin, it’s your birthday tomorrow, cheer up! Why don’t you tell me what happened?” she began, hoping she could somehow help Yin out.
However Yin didn’t feel like telling her what happened.
“I can’t tell you, it was really stupid of me, anyway I’m okay now..” he answered, putting on a fake smile to assure Nata, however, she had known him since forever, she had spent more time with him than even his own parents, clearly she knew this was Yin trying to hide his feelings.
“Okay but when you want to tell me, remember I’m always here for you Yin” Nata assured.
Yin smiled at this response, Nata truly was his closest friend and what he considered the person closest to him, of course he trusted her but it was rather embarrassing, he certainly couldn’t tell her!
“Sure” he quipped back, his face containing more of a real smile than before.

The evening went by quick, it was around 9pm, the time that Yin usually bathes, in the house they had a hot spring, this was because his Father loved hot springs so they had to build one, Yin also loved them, it was relaxing and satisfying,
Sitting in the hot spring calmed Yin’s mind, he thought about how it wasn’t worth getting angry over, he had to just forget her.
Finally it was time to sleep, Yin got in his bed and after having so much happen he slept rather well.
