Julia - Flashback

I smiled as I looked at all the photos that we have taken this afternoon, we all looked so pretty in our photos although I think that I am the ugliest in there. "Julia, you look like a goddess amongst all of us." My friends think otherwise, they all said that in am the prettiest in their squad and that doesn't make me feel that happy, they are happy as well but why won't they admit that they are that pretty as well?

"All of us are goddesses and there is no denying it, it is a fact," I told them while sipping on my café latte, it has now become a little diluted after leaving it for too long.

"Fine, but you are still the prettiest out of them all." RyuJin flips her way with sass. "But why are you still single?"

That is a question that I have been wondering for the longest time ever since I have reached puberty and taken an interest into boys of my age and of course the boys that I will only see on the TV screen, they don't appeal much to me and I have no idea how to approach them either. Even if I don't approach me, they will still come to me anyways.

"None of the boys interests me in school," I answered and they all gasped, I guess that it might have shocked them a little. "I'm serious." All the boys make me feel so uncomfortable, especially when they take every opportunity just to talk to you and want you to be their girlfriend.

My sole purpose of going to school is to study, not to start my love life, I know that I have to eventually find love but it is not the time for me to do that right now. There are far more important things in my life and falling in love and finding a boyfriend is probably the last thing on my mind, now that boys make me feel so disgusted.

"Not even him?" I raised an eyebrow at what YeJi said in. "Choi Beomgyu, the class president and your neighbour. Don't you feel anything different towards him?"

Choi Beomgyu, the guy that she just mentioned is just one of the guys that have been in my life for the past 17 years, the first being my father and then him, my brother from another mother. He is my neighbour and my best friend that has been with me ever, he is so much like a brother to me that he can only be a brother to me.

"It is impossible towards the both of us, we can't be friends anymore if we were to date." I laughed at the thought. "And plus he is attached to his girlfriend which he follows her like a loyal dog." If it ever happens, it would be in a dream, there is no way that we will ever date each other.

"Is that so? Promise that you will set me up with him if he ever breaks up with her." ChaeRyeong commented and we all laughed at her, she has a long time crush on Beomgyu and she wishes to date him one day.

We left the café after an hour and we all left on our separate ways home, we all lived in different directions and the café is the one place that brings all of us together, it is also one of our favourite hanging out spots and we would literally spend the entire day there just talking about stuff that only the four of us would understand.

Although I was supposed to go home, I just couldn't resist going around the shopping mall a few more rounds before going home, I just feel like doing it and it is a good exercise as well after devouring a strawberry shortcake and a café latte, it contains a lot of calories and sugar in it and walking around a little could help burn off a bit of what I have consumed even though I couldn't care less about it but my mother cares a lot about it.

She cares a lot about my health and the things that I would eat, she is afraid that I might gain too much weight if I don't care about the food that I consume, she just wants her only daughter to remain as pretty as she can be for the rest of her life and I can't blame her for that, which nigher wouldn't want that?

I walked past the shoe store and I was staring at one of the high shoes on display behind the glass panel, it looked so pretty and delicate. It would look good on me but I wouldn't want to waste that amount of money. It is not like I don't have any shoes to wear, I have plenty of them and adding one more pair will only add more waste to my space.

I let out a weak smile and I continued walking when a guy ran pretty fast and he tugged along my handbag so hard that it fell off my shoulder and I couldn't grab it in time, he got it and ran away from me in lightning speed, he was so fast that I didn't even realise all of this until a few seconds later.

I just got robbed by a robber in broad daylight, I let out a scream crying for help. "Help! I just got robbed!" I ran after the guy even though I have no idea how far he has been gotten to, all robbers have good stamina and I probably don't stand a chance in getting my handbag back but I have no choice.

That handbag is a very precious possession of mine, my mother gifted to me on my birthday last year and she would be so heartbroken if she were to know that I lost that handbag to a robber who is just doing his job as a robber.

I bumped into a guy just outside the anime store and I apologized to him, he is already on the floor looking down at the stuff that was broken apart. I guess that he had seen the robber and he broke his things after bumping into the robber, he looks like he could help me get my handbag back in one piece.

"Hey, are you alright?" He nodded, adjusting his spectacles. "Could you help me?"

"Help you with what?" He cried. "He broke my figurines and that is unforgivable of him to do that, have you have any idea any of it cost?" He got up and started running after the robber. "I'm going to chase him and get my revenge back." I guess that he gets what I am trying to tell him about...
