The school bell echoed throughout the school. Kids ran out of their classrooms and outside the school. As usual, I walked to the gate. These days, Hendery had basketball practice right after school so I walked home alone.

"Mingxia! Wait!" a voice called behind me. I turned around and saw a familiar blue-haired boy walking my way.

"Yanjun? What happened?" I asked.

Yanjun stopped and panted for breath. He handed me a folded sheet of paper.

"Hendery wanted me to pass this to you."

"Okay, thank-" I spoke as Yanjun ran back towards the school.

"...you?"

I opened the pastel yellow note and read it.

"Dear Mingxia,

I'm sorry I won't be able to walk home with you anymore because I have basketball practice. I love you and be careful.

- Hendery"

"He could've just told me himself," I whispered to myself. "But I guess he's too busy with basketball and his friends."

It's okay, I understand that we're both busy. I'll be there for him whenever I can and this is a way of supporting him.
