May was siting down with Mbali, everything bagel next to her. "I see Yoshida, my boyfriend! Yoshida!"

He went over to her. "Hi, May. How are you?"

"Fine. Meet Mbali, my friend." May then put some cream cheese on her bagel. 

"I  see you like bagels. How bout some lox to go with it?" he asked.

"No, but I do want some tea." May went to the new boba machine to make her some boba tea. "I want some tapioca pearls as well."

Yoshida stood behind her, money in hand. 'Might as well get one too,' he thought to himself. 'They have 3 kinds of tapioca pearls: brown, green apple, and red.' He pressed the necessary buttons for his drink.

Yoshida sipped his boba. "How much you wanna bet someone's gonna ruin this machine by doing some stupid shit?"

"50 yen," May  replied. "50 yen."

Mbali got up and made herself some boba as well. "I want red tapioca pearls for my boba," she said to herself. "Wonder if this tastes good?"

Yoshida ate the last of his breakfast. "So, May. Do you have any exes?"

"I have one; his name is Chad. He was a piece of shit."

"I see. Does he live here in Sapporo?" Yoshida asked.

"Yes. He and his family have a dual citizenship betwixt the US and Japan." May put her mouth on her plastic straw. "Mmmmm."

"Hold on." Yoshida looked at his phone. "Mom says we're having hot pot. That's besides the point. Anyways, how was Chad a piece of shit?"

"He wouldn't keep his cock in his pants. Plus, he cheated on me." 

"Ohhhh..." He drank some more of his boba tea, thinking about the guy. "What else did he do?"

"Nothing else," May replied. 

Yoshida sipped the last of his tea. "Anyways, I have study hall. I'll see you guys later." He walked off into the crowd of people to the library.

................................................

Hours later, Yoshida and May were walking off campus to his house. Suddenly, a blonde guy with hazel eyes and a turkey-and-cheeese sandwich in his hand confronted them. "May. Who's your new boyfriend?"

"Chad Svorge's the name. And yours is..."

"Yoshida Akamura, you were May's ex, I see. You treated her like shit."

"No, I did not. You'd better keep your man on his leash, May! I'm an MMA trainee." Chad finished the last of his 'wich. 

"So am I, so what's your point?" Yoshida replied stoicly. "Anyway, go away. I have hot pot waiting for me at home."

"I wanna fight you for her," Chad replied "at the nearby park."

'She doesn't want you; she's with me," Yoshida replied "but if you insist, let's fight." He changed into his blue-and-black shorts under his pants. 

The 3 arrived at the park, the two ready to throw down and May being referee. May said, "We're going by UFC rules. Any questions?"

"No," Chad answered. 

"Fight!"

Yoshida threw a leg kick at Chad, but he checked it with his foot. Then, blue eyes threw a jab at Chad's ribs, but Chad regrouped and threw a jab of his own but missed. 

May's boyfriend replied with a combo of punches and leg kicks at Svorge, causing him to fall. "You give?"

"Nope." Chad threw a jab at Yoshida's eye, but it barely left a dent. 'Tough as nails, I see,' he thought. 'I'm fucked...'

Yoshida threw a flying knee at Chad, causing him to stagger back and fall! Chad whined, "You win!"

Blue eyes extended his hand to pick him up, but Chad pulled him down and put him a rear-naked choke! "The hell you did that for? I was trying to pick you up!"

May pried Yoshida from Chad's chokehold. "You're wrong for that," she scolded Svorge.

"Thanks for that," Yoshida said to her. "`Wanna come by my parents' place? We're having hot pot."

She thought, 'He wants me to see his rents! What if they don't approve of me? Is my outfit okay? Does my breath smell?' She replied, "Yeah, I can go for hotpot."

Yoshida held her hand, and they waltzed over to his parents' place.
