~Lunch Date~ Chapter2

It was lunchtime at 11nn where Danielle was headed to the site where she will be eating lunch with Luke. She couldn't stop smiling at the fact that she will be having lunch with him. Danielle prepared Luke's lunch, which consisted of egg sandwiches she made before leaving for school. as she reached the tree where she saw Luke beaming at her in the distance. She couldn't stop admiring his lovely features as the wind blew beneath the curls of his hair.

Luke: "I'm glad you came" */smiles softly at her

Danielle: "Here, I made us some lunch" */smiles back at him

Luke's eyes widened as Danielle opened the lunch box. He took his portion and munched every taste the meal had.

Luke: "dang, that was so good!"

Danielle: "I'm glad it fits your taste" */satisfied

Luke:" where did you learn how to make something like that?".

Danielle: "well..my mom likes to cook which made me enjoy her cooking too, so I asked her if she can teach me".

Luke: */pinching her chubby cheeks softly "you should teach me someday too".

Danielle: "Ouchhh!" */numb

Luke: "haha… My bad, I'm sorry.. did it hurt that much?" */uneasy

Danielle: "its fine" */rubbing her numb cheeks

Luke: "its cute"

Danielle: */flustered

Luke: "what I meant is….your chubby cheeks are cute"

Danielle felt so unique as Luke gazed deeply into her eyes that she could hardly bear the sight of him. As they eat lunch beneath the tree, As Trish walks by with her friends she notices Luke and Danielle together alone. Trish became envious of her ex, the hottest boy in school, who was secretly hanging out with some obese female. Trish couldn't think than want to ruin Danielle's day by preparing something terrible against her.

Danielle walked to the restroom to wash herself after her afternoon period. As she walked in, she was stunned to find Trish with her friends who were doing their makeup; in spite of her best efforts to avoid them, Trish approached Danielle.

Trish: "Hey~ there you are, I've been waiting for you" */smirking at Danielle

Danielle couldn't face Trish, so she decided to look down and head to the open bathroom stall. As Danielle was ready to enter, Trish slammed the bathroom stall's door.

Trish: "Are you ignoring me?!" */leaning closely at her

Jessica: "Awww, are you scared of us meat bun??" */pinching her cheeks painfully

Danielle: "I'm not.." */nervous

Lauren: "oh really?, she looks like she is about to pee herself" */burst up laughing

Trish: "Do you have feelings for Luke?~" */glares at her

Danielle went quiet when Trish spoke Luke's name. As she went silent, Trish knew that Danielle does have affections for Luke. Trish was furious and proceeded to ruin Danielle's face by drawing lipstick and multiple kinds of makeup on her cheeks, forehead, eyes, and nose.

Trish: "you want Luke to like you right?, he will like you if you look like this"

Trish pushed Danielle close to the mirror to look at what Trish did to her face. The girls busted out laughing at how horrible it looked on her face. Trish continued to tease Danielle, After a while footsteps approached gently. It was Luke.

Luke: "God, Trish you never change do you?"

Trish crosses her arms and leaves the female bathroom, leaving Luke and Danielle alone. Danielle sank on her knees when Trish left, upset that the girls had done something very mean to her. Luke was trying to comfort her as much as he could, wiping away her tears and removing any cosmetic markings the girls had left on her face. As the school bell rang, signaling the end of the day, Luke helped Danielle get up and dragged her out of the building. He treated Danielle to a neighboring street stall that served meat buns. They sat beside the road, As Luke handed Danielle the meat bun, she nibbled on it, her nose stuffy from sobbing.

Luke: */chuckled "Pfft….stop crying already" */munching at his meal

Danielle: "I don't want to go to school tomorrow" */curled up like a ball

Luke: "ignore them" */comforting her

Danielle felt safe near Luke, as his words reassured her for the time being. As time passed, Danielle returned home, lay on her bed as if nothing had happened, and accepted Luke's advice. After that encounter, Trish avoided Danielle for a while. Days have passed, and tests are rapidly approaching . Danielle was studying in the library by herself when Luke came up to see what she was doing.

Luke: "sup!"

Danielle didn't hear him because she was listening to music. Luke sat next to her and removed one of Danielle's earphones from her ear and placed it in his to hear what she was playing.

Luke: " what are you listening to?"

Danielle: "oh…uhm its nothing" */stops the music in her phone

Luke: "No fun.." */pouting "well anyway, are you studying for the exams?"

Danielle: "yeah.. well I'm almost done" */Packing her things

Luke: "woah wait, do you know how to do math?"

Danielle: "a little bit"

Luke: "cool! Would you mind if you teach me?"

Danielle: "but I'm not really that good.."

Luke: "Nonsense, I knew you were one of the top 5 in your class"

Danielle: "well.. yeah, but one of my weakness was math"

Luke: "C'mon, just teach me the easy ones"

Danielle: " fine"

Luke couldn't understand anything during his mathematics lesson for an hour. Luke was easily distracted by the objects around him, making it difficult for Danielle to teach him. Danielle took a break from instructing him as the clock reached 4 p.m. As Danielle was resting when she remembered the snack she had bought at the cafeteria, she opened her bag and ate the milk bread which she bought. While Danielle was enjoying her snack, Luke became hungry and wanted some of Danielle's milk bread.

Luke: "Can I have some?" */asking politely

Danielle: "No" */munching her snack

Luke craved the snack after Danielle said "no". Luke didn't miss his chance to have a mouthful while Danielle was on her third bite; instead, he bit a piece of bread from Danielle's mouth, giving an impression that they had kissed.
