Chapter 3

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Angela said in shocked. Charles was sitting coolly beside her. Charles just grin, "You forgot already our 'activity'?"

"I didn't say that, you will just popped out of nowhere. You didn't even ask that you'll be joining us!"

"Well, the activity says that we will be spending 1 month with each others company. So what's the problem, right Dev?"

Devi just nod.

"See? Even you're friend agreed." Charles said proudly.

In the canteen's table there were six people sitting in it. There's Angela, Charles, Frank, Anne, Tavius, and Devi.

"Angela, forgetting something?" Devi asked.

"I know, what do you want?" Angela asked boringly.

"Chicken barbecue and my fave dessert." Devi said and smiled.

Angela just shrug and get her money... but there are two voices who interrupted her. "I will buy it!" Frank and Tavius said in unison.

"Excuse me? Are you that hungry to shout at me like that?" Angela said annoyingly, suprised by the action of those two.

"Aren't they a pain to ear? Right, Anne?" Devi said to Anne a pretty shy girl who is good and innocent.

"Haha yeah... you're right" Anne replied while nodding her head.

"Weirdos, you do it then." Angela said giving them a disgust look.

Charles stands and put his shoulders to those guys. "We'll do it Madame, no need to worry." Charles said giving his best smile.

Angela was flattered but she didn't show it. Devi just grin and Anna giggled. "Ahm... the food will not walk on its own. Move." Devi said.

"Right. Anne what do you like to eat?" Frank asked her. Anne has a crush on Frank since seventh grade. Even though she's so cute and had suitors, she didn't mind them and focus on Frank.

"Ahm... I-I like buffalo wings an--and a lemonade." She said stuttering.

"Okay. Let's go." Frank announced to them.

Angela seats next to Devi and sigh. "What's wrong with those boys, especially the newbie? Is he a goody boy? So rare of that kind of guy these days." Angela blurted out.

Devi looked at those three guys who are walking to the counter to get their food. She's analyzing them.

"Devi, how's your vacation?" Anne asked but Devi didn't respond. Angela pat her shoulder, "Hey girl! Lost your mind?" She asked him sarcastically.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"Anne said, how's your vacation?"

Devi looked her way to Anne and smiled, "Sorry Annie... Ahh.. It was good. My mom enjoyed it a lot." She said while smiling, remembering her mother achieving her summer body and how happy she was.

"That's nice! Your mom is always energetic." Anne commented.

"Yeah, always."

Charles, Frank, and Tavius are on the line for the food that they ordered. "You guys are weird, especially you." Charles said and pointing out Tavius.

"Me? Haha, why?" Tavius asked nervously.

"I won't tell. Haha you're pretty conspicuous." Charles said laughing.

Tavius is kinda anxious to Charles. The guy is friendly and straight forward. Frank was getting annoyed by the presence of Tavius, he didn't know why.

The three got their foods and went back to their table. "Here you go ladies!" Charles said to them.

:Thanks, Charles." Devi replied.

"Thank you guys!" Anne said.

"You're welcome. How 'bout you mademoiselle?" Charles asking Angela.

"TY." Angela replied.

Charles just laugh it off and sat down. Everyone is enjoying their food. Frank is looking at Devi, his eyes are filled with words but his mouth is shout entirely.

"Are you okay, Frank?" Anne asked him.

"Nothing, just... ahm, thinking about something. Enjoy your food." Frank replied to her and gave a little smile. Anne is just silent, mesmerizing that smile of Frank.

"You okay, Anne?" Angela asked her.

"Hmm..." She replied.

"Hey Tavius, where you from? And what's with the 'yasass' thing?" Charles asked.

"I'm from Greece. The language is Helens." Tavius replied.

"Ooh... those greek gods ey. Haha nice to have someone from Europe." Charles askes and shake his hand with Tavius.

"Thanks." Tavius said.

"Helens... the oldest language in the world. How well do you know it?" Devi asked him.

Tavius is intimidated again by Devi. This girl is so different. "Some of it I guess. I don't really understand some old terrms."

Devi just nod. Angela elbowed her and they give exchange looks. Just the two of them only understand what they are doing. The boys are looking at them with confusion.

"Ah... what are you doing?" Charles asked them.

"Don't mind them. That's a girly thing. We, boys wouldn't understand that." Tavius said.

Charles just shrug, Frank look at Tavius sharply, and Anna just smiled.

After that the bell rang, signals that the lunch is now over.

"Okay, everyone let's go back to our classroom!" Charles said energetically.

"What's with the energeticness?" Angela asked annoyed.

"Why do you care? Getting irritated?" Charles said, teasing her.

"Tss." Angela replied and walked away.

Devi just watched the two. Charles getting closer to Angela, Angela turning away from him. She just shrug and laugh it off. They both fool... Fool to tell their feelings.

The 6 of them started to head back to their class. Anna comes closer to Devi.

"Dev?"

"Yes?" Devi replied innocently.

"Are you seeing yourself, getting married?" Anna asked. She is wondering about Devi's attitudes to boys. Since first year, she had not entertain any boys who court her. Is she a lesbian or asexual?

"I don't know. . . Maybe. I don't really know Annie. Why did you ask?" Devi said while laughing.

"I thought, maybe you're a lesbian. . ." Anne said shyly.

Devi burst out a loud laugh. Everybody look at her. "Ha ha ha! You didn't tell me that you're a joker, ha ha ha!" Devi said between her laughs. She is also patting Anne's shoulder.

Angela overheard their conversation and she is also laughing quietly.

"What's the matter ladies?" Charles asked.

"It's a girl thing. . ." Devi said, still laughing.

Frank is a wearing a serious look. Tavius is observing them. He thought that, Devi doesn't laugh that much. He thinks that the Devi is a serious woman. He is confused right now on who she really is.

She might be laughing out loud but deep inside, she is curious why little Annie asked that question. Its not a big deal but the question is pointing on what Anne wants.
