"Andy, can you go and buy me some food? My ankle was twisted yesterday and it's hard for me to walk."

Micheal handed me the money to buy his food. He handed me a fifty thousand note.

"It's my treat. What do you want? Nasi Goreng?"

"Thanks! I'll eat anything you pick for me."

"Alright."

I left them alone for a second.

After I returned with food on my hand this happens?

Slap*

Yulia gave Micheal a slap on the face. It an unbelievable scene which was happening right in front of my eyes.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that."

"Please forget everything I have said just now."

Micheal bowed down his head and apologizes to Yulia. I don't know what happened but seeing Yulia's icy cold expression, she is genuinely angry.

What in the world happened while I left?

After Micheal apologize, he approached me, or to be precise, he wanted to exit the classroom and I'm blocking the way.

"I'm sorry, Andy. You guys should eat together, I'm afraid if I stay Yulia will not have the appetite to eat."

Micheal explained with a bitter expression, he took the food that I bought for him and somehow manage to push me out of the way to get out of the classroom.

I wanted to stop him, he shoved away my hand.

"Leave me alone for now."

Since Micheal is not going to disclose what happened I went to ask Yulia.

The exact same thing happened, Yulia is not speaking at all.

"What happened? Why did you guys fight?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"Andy, tell me. If someone kept mentioning that he's rich does this mean that he's showing off?"

Showing off? Micheal is not that kind of boy.

"He kept asking me how is his mansion and whether I want to live at his mansion or not. What did he think of me? Am I really that kind of person in his eyes?"

Yulia started tearing up while she's explaining what Micheal said to her.

If Micheal really said that, then he is really is in the wrong but is Micheal that type of person?

While I ask that question to myself I also remembered that I have only known Micheal for a year and a half.

We didn't know each other that long, which means I can't say that I know everything about Micheal.

Sigh*

"Stop crying. I'm sure something happened in his family or something. It's unusual for Micheal to snapped like that. I'll talk to him later and ask him what happened. Okay?"

I gave her a pat on her head. It felt weird for me petting someone's head as I've never tried to comforting someone before.

"Un."

Phew*

Good girl.

Now that Yulia has calmed down, should I go and see Micheal?

Just as I was about to go out and search for Micheal, someone caused a commotion.

"Andy bullying Yulia! She made her cry!"

"I thought he changed."

The kids have returned and I'm currently in a bad position.

In the end, I can't go out to search for Micheal. I have to stay by Yulia's side to clear up the misunderstanding.

This way they'll know I'm the good guy and I didn't do anything wrong.

Time passes, the class starts normally.

Micheal also returned to the classroom but it can be seen that he's still not in the mood to talk to me.

I'll try to confront him on the second break-time.

...

...

...

"Yulia~~~"

"I really want to apologize to you, Yulia!"

"Please! Forgive me!"

Micheal sobbed as loud as he could, attracting the attention of others but no matter what, Yulia is avoiding Micheal with her utmost effort.

Right now, Yulia is currently on top of my head.

I don't know how did manage to climb but she did it.

She was as though a cat that was driven to a corner by a dog, having no choice but to climb a tree.

Pant*

"I forgive you so stop chasing me already."

"Really?!"

"Then, to prove it let me give you a bear hug."

"No, I won't let a boy hug me."

"But, you're hugging Andy's head."

"Andy is different. He's a tree."

"Pffft."

Micheal burst into laughter.

'Andy still can't take the hint, even though it was this obvious.'

"Don't laugh!"

Thankfully, everything went well. I don't know how it happened but they forgave each other.

Even so, after school is over, I'm still confronting Micheal to ask what happened to him.

For the time being, I'll ignore it and not ruin the bright atmosphere that Micheal created.

The break time was over and the class resume normally.

Again more exercises were given by the teacher for final exam preparation.

I finished the exercises given faster than other students. They were a piece of cake for me as I've already prepared myself thoroughly for the final exam.

For the next two hours of class, I just slept my way until school is over. The teacher isn't bothering me too because he knew that I finished the exercises he gave.

It's better for me to sleep than me being annoying and noisy.

Once the school is over and there's only two of us left, I can finally talk to Micheal properly.

"Hey, Micheal."

"Hm?"

"I'm your friend right? If there's something wrong, tell me. I might be able to help you."

"There's nothing wrong,"

Micheal replied with a smile but that answer from him doesn't satisfy me.

"Seriously, what's wrong? Did something happened?"

"No, I'm fine, really. In fact, I'm really happy that you cared about me."

This kid... really is stubborn.

This is not what I want to hear from you.

"Um, Andy, I know this is out of nowhere but do you like Yulia?"

"Like Yulia? Yeah, of course, why not?"

Yeah, of course, I like her. She's a good mature kid.

"What if I said I like Yulia as a girl?"

Huh? Maybe... the problem wasn't that complex as I thought it would be!? Micheal wasn't familiar with having a crush on someone and maybe that's the reason behind his weird action.

So that's why he said those to Yulia!

"Then, I'll support you but honestly your method is not suitable for someone like Yulia. Micheal, let me tell you something, if you want Yulia to like you back, you need to play fair and square to connect with her. Try spending more time like how you always been during break time, I'm sure there will be another opportunity."

"Andy... you're as dense as a rock."

"Also, I suggest that if you want to get Yulia, you'll have to do it before she graduates from high school, or else later it'll be hard."

In the future, she will build GreenBio. That company that she created will be as big as Microsoft and other big companies.

With the authority and power in her hand, I doubt Yulia will rely on a man.

"Goodbye, Andy."

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow."

'I'm sorry, but you won't be able to see me again. When time is right, I'll definitely visit you.'

After saying my farewell to Micheal, I went home.

Phew*

That was a tough and weird day.

As I reached home, I finally saw Old Man again.

It has been two weeks since I last saw him.

Did he get fatter?

"Master, give me a coding lesson. I've finished learning everything from the notes already."

Old Man present me with the notes that I gave him. They're in poor condition, meaning he did spend his time or use the notes I gave him.

"Don't tell me you spend your whole New Year's holiday studying?"

"Well, I have nothing else to do. My fellows, they all busy with their own things. Such as visiting their relatives, spending their time with family."

"And during the holiday, Internet Cafe is full too, there's no seat available even when I'm the owner."

Right, Old Man was over forty already but still not married. He doesn't have anyone close to spending his time together during the holiday.

As for his parents, I'm sure, not sure of it but, if I'm not wrong, they passed away.

"We'll see if you are ready to learn to code. I'll prepare a test for you, if you can score ninety marks, I'll teach you coding."

"How many questions?"

"Not much, fifty questions."

"Fifty is not much?! Then what is much to you?"

That was the truth, fifty was, in fact, was too little. I can create at least two hundred questions from what he learned.

"What if I fail?"

"Then, I'll explain your mistakes and you'll need to take a test with one hundred questions. It'll continue to increase as you keep failing."

"Now go and prepare yourself, I'll be using this computer."

I shamelessly snatched the computer from Old Man, while he went to review what he learned in the back.

The first thing I did was open my Email to check if there's anything from James.

What the-

Opening the letter one by one, I read the content.

The first day.

[Can you send me a car or bike? I'm stuck in the area of Pantai Palawan, I don't know the road name so if you have arrived tell me, I'll go to the beach to meet you.]

The second day.

[Hello? Can you ask Andy to use the money in the bank and buy me a bike? I would really appreciate it. Notify me as soon as possible]

The third day.

[I apologize for troubling you, please send someone to fetch me.]

The fourth day.

[If you read this and pretend that you didn't I curse you to die. Just kidding. Seriously. Please reply.]

The fifth day.

[Master Lee, I hope you can send me a car, I'm stuck at Pantai Pelawan]

The sixth day.

[Master Lee, I hope you can send me a car, I'm stuck at Pantai Pelawan]

The seventh day.

[Master Lee, I hope you can send me a car, I'm stuck at Pantai Pelawan]

The eighth day.

[Reply if you see this pls.]

The ninth day.

[pls.]

The tenth day.

[The beach is great, today I saw a hot chick. She was very sexy. This is the photo]

It's a photo of himself with a naked old woman.

My eyes sting when I saw the picture, it's best if you don't imagine it too.

The eleventh day.

[The chick was hot right? Here are some more.]

Nope, I'm not downloading the picture.

This guy is doing it on purpose.

The twelfth day.

[Here's a hot babe pic]

Thirteenth day.

[Another hot babe pic]

Fourteenth day.

[ ]

Literally, he put 'blank' word on everything, the content, and the title.

Now I'm in the last letter and it was sent today

[Help]

Even after that long strips of the letter, I didn't feel any pity toward him. Who told him to buy a house in that secluded area.

Want to see women in swimsuits? I'm sorry but this island is a bit special. No one wears swimsuits to the beach.

And I can't drive, so basically I can't help him too.

There's no way I could buy a car or bike for him too.

Well, I could but still, it'll take time for it to arrive.

["Walk back on your own or stay there for now. It's your fault since I can't drive." From Andy.]

That's what I replied to him.

I hope he has enough money to survive while I find a solution to save him out of there.

Now that I've done replying to James, I went back and make a test for Old Man.

[Micheal's POV]

"So shall we leave? You see them today, just like what you wishes for."

"I know. There's no need for you to remind me. We'll leave tomorrow."

"I see. you're determined this time. Then, I shall follow you, third young master."
