out
with random women, one of them might as well be her.”
    "I'm a twenty-two years old man. I’m
not going to date some fifteen year old girl. Besides, she falls
short of my expectations," he made a curved shape with both of his
hands, "...like this.”
    Curves.
    She found herself wrapping her arms
defensively around her breasts.
    "Hey, hold on to me, I'm about to take
off," he instructed when he felt her arms suddenly leave his waist.
She wrapped her arms around him again and clung to his back, trying
not to press her chest against him too hard.

    Why am I here? Chevalier asked himself
as she dragged him into the amusement park. Are you a man, or
aren't you? Why are you always being manipulated by this girl? Why
can't you reject any of her requests like she was any other
female?
    "Hana!" Kali called out when she
spotted her friend in the middle of a crowd. "Over
here!"
    Hana made her way through the mass of
people toward them.
    "Chevalier, this is my good friend,
Hana. You two met at the dance," Kali pushed Chevalier toward Hana.
"Do your best to show her a good time.”
    Chevalier wanted to ask if she was
being serious, but it wouldn’t do any good. "What will you be doing
by yourself? Come with us.”
    "No, no, it’s fine. I wouldn’t want to
get in the way of you guys getting to know each other,” Kali
politely refused. "I have other arrangements.”
    "What other arrangements?" Chevalier
asked, his voice taking on the tone of an interrogator.
    "I have…” she should think of
something fast, "...a date,”
    "A date?" Chevalier raised his brow.
"Well, excuse us for wasting your time. Let’s go…”
    He tried to remember her
name.
    "Hana,” she reminded him.
    "Yes, let’s go.”
    "What do I do now?" Kali asked herself
after the two headed off on their own. She could head back to the
apartment, but since she was already at the amusement park, it
wouldn't hurt to go on a couple of rides before getting back to
studying.
    "Are you here by yourself?” she heard
a familiar voice. Kali turned to face the girls from her
class.
    "So what if I am?"
    "I have to compliment you. You’re very
brave to come to an amusement park alone,” Cyn said. Her two
well-dressed friends giggled to one another. "By the way, aren't
you supposed to be at work? What is that place called
again?"
    "I forget. I think she works at some
convenience store,” one of her friends said.
    "If you guys have nothing else to say
other than trying to put me down, I'm going,” Kali walked past
them.
    "Why does a girl like her go to our
school, anyways?” she heard Cyn saying as she walked
away.
    She waited patiently in line for the
roller coaster. Everyone in line seemed to have a partner but her.
When it was her turn, she boarded the ride and secured her seat
belt. It did feel kind of strange with an empty seat next to her.
Who in the world goes to an amusement park by
themselves?
    Maybe she should have gone
home.
    She felt a little better when someone
plopped into the empty seat. She was expecting him to secure his
own seat belt, but he didn’t. Didn't he know that's the first thing
he was supposed to do on a ride like this?
    "You should fasten your…” she pointed
at the seat belt. She blinked as she realized it was the new
transfer student from her class. No, he wasn't a transfer student.
She just never paid attention to him.
      
    She gasped in mortification,
remembering the scene only two nights ago. She became so flustered
that she thought she was going to have a nosebleed. The first
thought that jumped into her head was to get out of there, but when
she unfastened her seat beat and stood up, she was stopped by the
staff.
    "Please stay in your seat, the ride
will start in less than a minute," he said as he fastened both of
their seat belts.
    "What a coincidence," he smiled at
her. His attitude was completely different than the other night. It
was much more relaxed and not as formal. She wondered what had
caused
