' This guy, why do I feel like I'm the one who's chasing him. ' Catherine thought while looking to Allen, who's enjoying his food.
" Your bill is Php. 220 overall. " she said, making Allen's group look at her.
" This -- Catherine ? We're still eating. " Karl said confusedly.
" Yeah, we won't run, you know. " Allen said cause it's normal that they will just pay after they eat.
" Just pay. I will have to eat and go back to school. " but Catherine's stubbornness didn't budge, and she just open her palm, asking for money.
The group look at her and sigh in defeat. They didn't know what's happening to this polite girl, and she suddenly became stubborn.
They dejectedly take their wallet and pay.
" Php. 220 overall, it means that we have to pay Php. 40 each. " Karl said.
" I forgot my money in the classroom, all I have is Php. 20 in my pocket. " James said while shaking his pocket.
" Just pay me in the classroom later. Here are Php. 100. " Allen then give him his money.
" Here is your exchange " Catherine said before giving Karl Php. 40, instead of Php. 20.
" This-- Miss, where is my exchange ? " Allen ask.
" Hmm ? Look here, Php 220, no more, no less. Your fee are correct. " Catherine said, showing the money.
" But -- Hey Karl, give me my exchange. " Allen knew that he can't argue with a girl, caused he already experienced it with his girlfriend.
" Hey Cathy, our order as usual. " Allen's chaotic group was interrupted by sudden voice.
They look at the students from Saint Academy, who's uniform are already unbutton and already smoking.
" Please costumer, smoking is prohibited in this place. " Catherine said in frown.
" But your parent are not here, so they won't mad. And besides, costumers are always right. " the leader of the students said.
Catherine dejectedly went toward the kitchen to get their orders.
' What are they ? Filipino version of gangster ? ' Lloyd said in small voice.
' Just let them be. ' Karl said to his friends.
Catherine came back with a tray of food and went toward the Saint Academy's student.
" Hey Cathy, what are your decision ? " the leader of the students said.
" How many times I have to tell you. I don't have any intention to date someone, especially you, Rico. " Catherine said to the leader of the students, named Rico.
" Oh come on. I'm the MVP player in my school. I also have a Mio 125, we can take stroll. " Rico said, pointing the costumize motorcycle outside the restaurant.
" Dream on, I'm focusing on my study, not love life. " she said.
" Miss, can I have extra rice. " a voice coming from Allen interrupted Rico and Catherine.
Catherine look toward Allen before replying. " Coming. "
Rico look toward Allen and he lightly kick his chair. " Hey you, student from public school. Are you the one who said that you have crush on her ? "
Allen ignore him and just waited for Catherine, while Allen's friend look toward Rico and his group, they wanted to argue with him, but seeing their group are outnumbered and they are more taller than them, they choose to swallow their anger.
" Hey ! hey ! I'm asking you. Tsk...are you deaf. " Rico said while shaking Allen's chair with his feet.
" Rico; maybe he is scared, that's why he can't talk. " one of his Rico's friend said.
" I also think so. " he said.
" Here's your extra rice " Catherine's voice sounded making the two group stop.
Rico look toward Catherine and said. " Hey Cathy, is he your suitor ? He look so weak, and look at those glasses, looks like a nerd. "
" Don't involve him, and besides his looks are more comfortable to look than you, you look like a gangster. " she said.
" Tsk " Rico click his tongue and began to eat.
" I'm sorry about that. " Catherine said to Allen.
Allen look to her while eating and said, enough for Rico's group to hear. " Don't worry, they said that If i fight with an idiot, I will also become idiot. "
" What did you say ? I think that I misheard what you said. " Rico immediately stand up and walk toward him, clenching his fist, ready to attack.
" Stop it. " Catherine wanted to stop them, but Rico is hot headed and so easy to be angered.
" I said -- " Allen would reaper his word, but he was stop by the cook.
" Hey ! hey ! Don't fight inside. This students..." the cook said, who just came out of the kitchen, making Rico to stop.
" You better get ready to beaten up outside. " Rico said before eating again.
Catherine look toward Allen and said angrily. " What did you do ? Are you an idiot ? Can't you see that this guy is unreasonable and they completely outnumbered you. "
" Yeah, Allen, we know that this guy is too much, but we're at disadvantage. Let's just run toward the school, it was only hundred meters away from here.
" his friend said and advice him.
" Sorry for involving you guys...but seriously...he's quite funny on how he was easily agitated, Miss, your type of suitor is surely rare. " Allen said teasingly to Catherine, instead of feeling fear and panic.
" You !!! You still have guts to joke around. Sigh, I'll come with you until school gate, I'm sure that he won't attack you. " Catherine said before going toward the kitchen to get her own food.
' This mortals are really funny to watch. ' a sudden beautiful voice inside his head sounded.
' Yeah, I'm used to fight everyday, so I'm quite looking for some fight, even they are weak. ' he replied.
