Crush on You - Chapter II(2)

I noticed some classmates eyed on us and mumbled something nonsense but I didn’t care at all. I began going to school and returning home along with Carey.

One day when we got through the gate of cafeteria which I liked most a question struck on my mind and I said: “Why did you get a nickname like that and why did you often get fight with others, like Jason?”
