Early morning Lu Lijun woke up and prepared for the school after breakfast. As usual, he tried hard to not miss anyone and keep himself busy with the other things. Since he came to England, he only talked to his mother and sister but not to anyone. He avoided talking to his family members and it worried others.
Thinking it was his temporary anger, Lu Jinhai asked others to ignore it while Lu Feng planned to go and visit Lu Lijun soon along with Lu Lian cause she was the only person with whom he talked willingly.
When he went to the school, the moment he stepped out of the car, someone jumped on him from behind and knowing who could be the person, Lu Lijun stood straight making the guy fall on the ground as he mumbled, "Idiot."
"Ahh…how can you let me fall like this? My bum is hurting now."
"Lu Lijun turned to look at him, "Can't you be a bit civilized and not do idiotic things, Noah?"
Before Noah could say anything one voice interrupted them both.
"Who are you calling idiot, huh?" one boy came to them and helped Noah to get up from the ground. "Is he bullying you? Let me break his nose?"
"No, Jake, he is our new friend," Noah explained as he got up with the help of Jake.
"I don't remember having such friend and how dare he hurt you?" jake exclaimed as he glared at Lu Lijun who didn't look even a bit interested in the show affection these two were showing.
Ignoring these two, Lu Lijun turned around and left.
"Where are you going, huh?" Jake asked loudly and Lu Lijun turned.
"I don't have time to waste on you two," Lu Lijun replied and turned.
"You haven't said sorry to Noah yet," Jake spoke as he looked angry.
"I didn't ask him to climb my back," Lu Lijun replied.
Seeing these two might get into the fight, Noah stood in between them.
"Stop you both." Instructing, Noah looked at Jake, "It was my fault to startle him."
Hearing is Jake calmed down and Lu Lijun turned to leave. "Hey Lijun, where are you going?"
Continuing walking away, Lu Lijun replied, "Class."
Holding Jake's hand, Noah followed Lu Lijun and forced Jake to follow him too, though he was not willing to.
When they reached the class, the teacher came at the same time so they didn't get time to talk. After two long classes, it was the lunch break and they three sat together. Though neither Lu Lijun nor Jake was interested in sitting together, they couldn't help but give up in front of sticky Noah.
"Guys, can't you two be friends? I like you both and I want three of us to be friends," said Noah just to get a cold reply from his tow friends at the same time.
"Not interested."
Noah looked sad and got up from the chair with his dish. "Looks like I keep bothering you two. I won't do it anymore now."
He went to the other empty table, leaving the other two shocked as they thought what had happened with him suddenly.
When Noah went away, Jake spoke, "It was your fault to treat him like this."
"Don't overlook your own fault," Lu Lijun commented as they both continued looking at Noah who was eating silently.
"If only you had said sorry to him," said Jake.
"If only you had stayed out of it," Lu Lijun countered.
Both looked at each other and understood things would not move further if they keep arguing and at that moment their sad friend looked more important.
"Let's talk to him first and we can deal with our things later."
"Hmm!" Lu Lijun nodded as he said, "But there is nothing between us to deal with."
Both stood with their dishes and went to Noah. It was a square table so one sat on Noah's right side and the other one sat on his left side.
"We are sorry Noah," both said at the same time.
Noah didn't give up and continued eating quietly.
"What do you want me to do, so that you can be happy, Noah?"
Jake asked and Lu Lijun looked at him surprisingly. This guy who acted so tough a while ago, looked like he was coaxing his girlfriend. Lu Lijun couldn't help but smile a little in admiration of their friendship. He understood these two were really good friends and cared for each other.
"Why are you smiling," Jake asked coldly and Lu Lijun replied, "Nothing."
"If it's nothing then stop smiling and coax him as you are also responsible to upset him," Jake instructed.
"I don't know how to," Lu Lijun countered.
"Let it be both of you, I am fine. Let's eat now." Noah was annoyed with their argument. He understood it was not easy to get his two friends together.
