Chapter 42-Cafeteria encounter

Riiiiiiing! The school bell rang. It was lunch time so students and teachers would be heading to the cafeteria to buy food or quickly head to town for their lunch.

When people were passing Denear's table, they would hurry their pace and look at another direction. Bailey was waiting for Denear patiently. Denear was sound asleep the entire class but he still heard every single word that Aurora had said. He stretched from his chair and stood up. Seing Denear stand up, Bailey also stood up from her chair, waiting for Denear's next move.

"Let's head towards the cafeteria." Bailey happily nodded and walked with him towards the door. They made such a commotion while walking down the hallway. People would move out of the way while whispering to each other.

People would also sometimes stare at Bailey with some sort of look with disgust and superiority.

Their way too the cafeteria was smooth sailing. No-one, even the other classes, got in their way.

....

At the cafeteria

The cafeteria was separated into two parts. One for the nobles and one for commoners. The nobles side was practically a 5 star restaurant while the commoners side was one of those random restaurants you'd accidentally walk into.

Denear walked towards the "5 star" nobles side but then he noticed that Bailey had stopped behind him. He turned around and called for her. "Let's go."

Bailey tried to argue. "But...But.. that's the nobles side of the cafeteria.....I don't think a commoner like me should join you...Besides, I....I don't think I can even afford to buy food from the nobles side." Bailey didn't want other nobles to look down on him for sitting with her. Besides, she knew all too well about her hair. She wondered if Denear didn't know about it.

"I'm in a really good mood today." Denear gestured for her to follow him by nodding his head towards cafeteria. "I'll buy you lunch."

"But...Uh.."

"Do as you wish. It's you're choice." Denear walked towards the noble's side of the cafeteria.

Bailey was hesitating but she finally gave in. She sighed while she slightly smiled and whispered to herself. "Why are you so nice to me?"

She caught up to Denear and stood behind him on the right side. Denear noticed her presence beside him and, without saying a word, continued towards the noble's side.

Everyone in the entire cafeteria had their eyes on them. The commoners looked in confusion. 'A commoner and a noble? She must be his lackey...'

Denear ordered food for both of them and they sat down on a nicely decorated table. They sat across each other and enjoyed the food without uttering a single word to each other.

Then they heard footsteps entering the cafeteria. It was those group of people Denear had seen in the dormitory. The group of nobles. They entered the cafeteria while laughing and chatting with each other that everyone could hear them.

"Hahahahah! I can't believe your younger brother did that!!"

"It must be tough having such a brother"

"His butt was as red as a tomato!!!! HAHAHA!!"

"Please don't speak about my younger brother....He is an idiot."

The one who was talking was Prince Landon Hendrix. It seemed that the guy who Denear had just given a lesson was actually his younger brother, Sean Hendrix. Prince Landon came to a halt and swept around the entire cafeteria. He saw Denear and smiled. He started to walk in Denear's direction. The rest of the group was stumped by his actions and just stood from their spots watching him walk to Denear.

"Hello there." He held out his hand for a hand shake. He acted very friendly with Denear, though he was a Prince. Which goes to show how much Denear's status as the Young Master of the Cornelius Family is. Denear straight up ignored him for a few seconds because he was still eating his food. Prince Landon stood, smiling like an idiot in front of the entire cafeteria watching him. Bailey continued eating her food, but she kept close attention to Landon's movements to see if they were hostile towards Denear.

Landon was holding in his anger and humiliation. Everyone was dead silent. Denear dropped his eating utensils and the first words he said to Landon was,

"You bunch of people are so loud....It disrupts with my peace of mind while i'm eating."
