The restaurant

They arrived at the restaurant and ordered food.

The food came, and Tina was startled at the luxury of it all. However, she quickly reminded herself that Lena was rich, and affording something like this was nothing to Lena.

So Tina and Lena both ate their food happily, but while they were eating, someone approached them from behind Lena.

Lena felt someone approached, so she turned to look. The person was James. James was here, and so was Tina. And she did not have enough time to hide Tina. James already saw her.

Lena panicked. 'I should not have brought Tina to this restaurant! Had I known James was going to be here, I would have avoided doing so!' But she had no time for regret.

James was right in front of her, and so was Tina.

"Hi, James!" She greeted him. She knew that she had to keep herself from acting up now. It would ruin all her hard work if she did.

She maintained a straight face, since she was unable to smile now, not with seeing James and Tina in the same picture.

"Hello, Lena. How are you?" James responded. Tina was a little surprised to see someone else that Lena knew here, and she looked curiously at Lena.

Lena scowled inside her heart, and then she realized that she had to introduce the two to each other.

"Tina," She said, and then she thought of an introduction to give James that might keep Tina away from him. "This is my best friend, James. He is such an incredible person, and I love being around him." She used the word 'love' to imply that she loved James; she hoped that Tina would understand the hint and not fall in love with him.

"James, this is my friend..." she hesitated for a moment and looked at Tina. She wanted to escape so badly, and her eyes were almost watery. But she hid her emotions behind her smile. "This is my friend, Tina."
