Master, I Came To Bring You Lunch

Alex carefully prepared Abbie's lunch. Aunt Zizi could see the young boy's dedication as he carefully divided the food inside the lunch box. Looking at the leftovers from their orders, an idea sprang inside her head.

She took an empty lunch box and started to fill it up with food. The kind auntie decided to prepare Alex's lunchbox so he could eat together with Abbie inside the university. After fifteen minutes, all the lunchboxes were done. All that was left was to deliver them to the students.

Alex was holding on to Abbie's lunchbox in a careful manner as Aunt Zizi and the rest of the auntie's headed towards the university. The kind Auntie held Alex's hand all the way to the school gates. The guards were familiar with the auntie's because they always delivered food inside the academy.

When they saw the red-haired boy beside Aunt Zizi one of the lady security guards approached them with a smile.

"Aunt Zizi, who is this cutie?" The lady guard asked with a smile.

"This is Alex," Aunt Zizi answered. "He is our new helper inside the cafeteria."

"How old are you?"

"I'm eight-years old, big sister."

"Since you are helping in the cafeteria, does that mean you will be a regular visitor here at the university?"

"Un!"

The lady guard smiled and gave the boy a meaningful look. She then shifted her attention to Aunt Zizi and said a few words to the kind auntie. Aunt Zizi nodded her head in understanding. She knew that Alex needed to get a visitor's pass in order to enter the gates. However, the young boy didn't have an ID with him.

"Alright, I'll let it pass this one time," The lady guard said as he patted Alex's head. "Next time, bring your I.D ok?"

Alex nodded his head and smiled at the lady guard. "I will. Thank you, Big Sister."

"You're welcome."

The small group of aunties separated after entering the gates. They needed to go to different buildings. Aunt Zizi and Alex headed to Abbie's building. As they were climbing the stairs, the bell started to ring. It was the signal that classes were over and lunch time would begin.

"Alex, Abbie's classroom is over there," Aunt Zizi said as she pointed to her right. The two were currently at the second floor of the Dahlia Building. "Abbie's classroom is room 1-C. I still need to deliver these lunch boxes on the fourth floor."

Aunt Zizi took out an extra lunch box and gave it to Alex. "This is your share. Have lunch with Abbie. I'm sure that girl will be very happy."

"Thank you, Aunt Zizi!"

"I will wait for you at the gates when lunch is over. Remember, don't go outside the gates without me. Understood?"

Alex nodded his head. "Understood. I will wait for you at the gates, Aunt Zizi."

"Good boy," Aunt Zizi patted the boy's head and climbed the stairs. The students were starting to fill the hallway. Some of them were headed to the vending machines, while others were headed to the school canteen to eat lunch.

Alex walked towards Abbie's classroom with careful steps. He made sure not to bump into anyone because he was carrying his master's lunch. The boys, who saw Alex, looked at him with curiosity. The girls, on the other hand, looked at the cute boy with varying levels of interest.

"Neh~ what are you doing here little boy?" A pretty girl with shoulder length black hair asked with concern. "Are you lost? If you're lost, this big sister will help you."

"Thank you, Big Sister, but I am not lost," Alex answered with a smile. "I'm here to deliver lunch to my Master."

"Master?" The pretty girl frowned. The boys and girls who heard this also frowned. They look at the red haired boy who was wearing stylish shorts and pants. With a glance, they knew that the boy came from a well-off family. However, when they heard the word "Master" some of them thought that the boy was a servant from a rich family.

"What is your name and who is your Master?" The pretty girl asked.

"My name is Alexander," Alex replied. "My Master's name is Abbie, Abbie Matthews.".

"Eh? Abbie Matthews? You mean THAT Abbie Matthews?" The pretty girl's eyes widened in shock. "That fatty girl is your Master?"

Alex frowned when he heard the word "fatty". Somehow, he felt that the word sounded like an insult to his master. He was about to give a reply when a familiar voice sounded in the hallway.

"Alex? What are you doing here?"

The young boy turned his head and the frown on his face disappeared. It was replaced by a sweet smile which melted the hearts of the girls who saw it. All of them turned to[in] the direction of the voice and saw a chubby girl approach Alex with steady steps.

"Master, I came to bring your lunch," Alex beamed as he showed her the two lunch boxes he was carrying. "Let's have lunch together."

Abbie felt something warm spread inside her chest. She looked at Alex with a gentle gaze and nodded her head in understanding.

"Sure. Let's have lunch together." Abbie reached out to hold Alex's hand and the two walked towards her classroom.

Alex turned his head to look at the Big Sister who stopped him earlier. "Thank you, Big Sister, for worrying about me. I will now have lunch with Master. Have a good day."

"O-Ok. Enjoy your lunch." The pretty girl stuttered as she looked at Alex's retreating back.

After Abbie and Alex disappeared inside the classroom, a soft murmuring started to reverberate in the crowded hallway.

"Did you hear that? The boy called the Kung-Fu Panda Girl Master!"

"Did that fatty bully that boy? How dare she?!"

"I won't tolerate this. This is clearly child slavery! How envious!"

The girl said those last words aloud and everyone heard it. However, they didn't pay it any mind, especially the boys. They, too, felt that Abbie went too far in making a young boy like Alex her servant. However, some of the girls felt envious because Alex was very cute!
