The car she had been riding in sped off towards the other end of campus, and a dressed up Yumi waved it off. She stood watching the moving vehicle until it rounded a corner, before sighing and moving to head back into the apartment complex. Thomas seemed like a nice guy. He was pretty handsome, but came off as a very down-to-earth and genuine person. He'd been very respectful and persuasive, so Yumi had decided to agree to his requests and start dating him.<br/><br/>Last week he'd taken her to the Dazzler concert, and this week it was dinner and dancing at a nearby club. He was a smooth dancers, and never once let his hands stray too far. It was perfectly romantic and chaste, to the point that she was actually tempted to kiss him! At least until she saw a man laughing and flirting with a girl in the bar, and remembered Leon. How were you supposed to forget your first love, when the reason you broke up with him was because you loved him? There were plenty of superheroes out there, so the world didn't need him! He risked his life night after night, and never got any reward for it. Even she'd been hospitalized by a villain, and he still kept going. She'd begged him to stop and just be happy being with her . . and he chose the other path.<br/><br/>The Japanese-American sighed again as she slid her key into the lock of her apartment, and popped inside.<strong> "I'm back . . ."</strong>She always expected to see Leon perched on her bed waiting for her, to confess that he knew Yumi was right and he couldn't be without her . . but that hadn't happened yet. She slipped into the bathroom, and noted that it looked like Cassie had been in here recently, so she was probably getting ready for bed. Yumi did the same, eventually heading to her own bed in nothing but a t-shirt and a pair of conservative panties, her flashy dress abandoned on the hamper.<br/><br/>She had a feeling like tomorrow at school, it wasn't going to be a great day.
