Chapter 6

Rain's POV

"Sorry, I'm late." Someone said from the door

Allen approached the guy. I didn't know who it is because Allen is blocking my view.

"Here you are,at last!" Allen said as he hold out his left hand

The latter gladly took it and they shake hands.

When Allen turn to us, I was shocked to see who it was.

I can feel Julie getting anxious beside me. I'm sure she's worried again for me.

"Everyone, this is Ron Espiritu, my friend." Allen introduced

"You!" I blurted out loud

The ones who are near me turn their gaze to me but I don't care! I have my gaze to that one person in front.

In case you are asking who it is, well, he's the reason why my mood became off in the mall and now, here.

Yes, you're right.

It's none other than the not-mannered guy that bumped me.

I saw him looking for me and when he find me, we starred at each other. I eyed him with utmost irritation. I want him to feel that I don't really, really like him!

He stopped when Allen get his attention but I didn't take my eyes off of him. I followed them with my gaze. Like I said earlier, I want him to feel my irritation towards him. They went to Allen's space which is just 2 seats away from my mine.

When Allen turn to me, I quickly averted my gaze.

"Do you know Rain?" I heard Allen asked the guy

Not that I'm eavesdropping, I just can hear their conversation from here.

"Rain?" The guy asked too

"Yeah, Rain. That girl, 2 seats away from us. The one you were having a starring contest with a while back."

"Well... Yeah, we met before inside the mall. She's also with her friend, I think." The guy answered

"Oh, when they bought some things for this event."

"I think so." I heard the guy answered.

After that, they stopped talking

"Tsk." I said out of frustation

"You ok?" Louie asked me with a worried face

"No, I'm not." That's what I want to tell him but- "I'm good." I answered instead

He creased his forehead at me.

"What?" I asked

He's contemplating for a moment so I give him a spill-it-out-look.

"D-do you know Ron?" He finally asked

I frowned at that.

"Do you know him too?" I asked back

"Hey, I asked you that first."

"Answer me first then I'll give you mine." I said and he sighed

"Well, yes, he's a friend of mine as well as Allen's."

I rolled my eyes at that and frown more.

"What's with that look? Did something happened?"

I look to my other side where Julie is, like I'm asking for her opinion and she nodded. I looked back at Louie and heaved a deep sigh before talking to calm myself

"We met him in the mall."

"During the time you were buying some things?" He asked

I nodded. My irritation, visible.

"That guy bumped me while me and Julie were walking. I would have fell down to the floor if Julie didn't catch me." I whined like I was a 4-year old toddler that is being bullied by other kids in a park

"So that's the reason why you seemed a bit off when you guys came back."

"Yes!"

He didn't say anything instead he pulled me in for a hug and it made my mood lighter.

"Thank you, oppa" I sincerely said to him, calling him in Korean when he pulled back

"You know you can count on me." He said

I really love my oppa

I smiled at him and nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were now at a table. This is my favorite part of the event.

We're eating now but I can't enjoy it. It would be better if he's not here.

My thoughts were interrupted when someone in our table makes some noise.

"This food is delicious!" Sky exclaimed

"Yeah, we're happy to have RK friends." Jeff said while wriggling his eyebrows to Allen

/*RK - Rich Kid*/

Everybody at our table laugh whole-heartedly while I faked one. I'm not quite in a good mood because of not-mannered guy. It's a shock that he's Allen's friend and that he attended this party but the worst part is he's in front of me, across the table.

Aish!

-_-#

I try hard not to look at him but I know that he's looking at me, watching me

"So, Ron it's nice you came. I haven't seen you in so long." Louie said

I took a glance at him. Why would they be friends with this guy? Ugh!

"Yeah, it's been a while. If not for Allen, I won't be here." Ron answered

"Aww, just for Allen." Louie said while his hand is on his chest and acting like he really is hurt

I rolled my eyes at Louie's corny actions.

Tss

"Yuck!/What the hell!" Allen and Ron said in unison and the they all laugh

They're happy talking but here I am, not enjoying any of this. I just silently listen to them. I'll smile sometimes or laugh shortly but that's it. I sigh and stand up, causing them to look at me. Louie and Julie eyed me worriedly but I just smiled at them and excuse myself. I went straight downstairs and walk in the CR. I just washed my hands then I starred at my reflection in the mirror and I release a deep sigh.

Ugh, really! Just because of that guy, my mood is ruined.

I'm always like this. At first, I'll be ok but when I saw someone or something that pisses me, I'll have a bad mood for the rest of the day, ugh! I released another sigh and I tried to lighten my mood. I tried to put a smile on my face but it didn't turn into a genuine one so I just put on my poker face and I went out.

I walk back up to the rooftop and peek inside first. I checked our table and a smile creeps up to my lips when I saw that he's not there. I readied myself to go in but before I can step forward, someone spoke behind me, a male someone.

"Why are you peeking inside?" The guy said

I almost jumped out of surprise so I turned around.

Oh great, it's him!

"What the hell! Why are you behind me? And what I'm doing is none of your business!" I snapped at him and went inside

I immediately walk to our table and slump down beside Julie while he sit across the table.

"Are you ok?" Julie asked as she sees me

I just pouted so she gave me an encouraging smile like she's saying "Wait a little bit, it'll end soon."

I really wish this gathering will end now. I don't want to say this but I really wanna go home.

And as if on cue Allen stand up and walk to the front and took the mic from the table.

"Excuse me."

Everybody fell silent and looked at him.

"First of all, I would like to thank everybody for tonight. From the people that helped organize this gathering and to those of you who attended it. I hope you all enjoyed this. Take care and until next time, everyone." Allen finished and he bowed to us

We all clapped our hands for him and for ourselves.

Yes, I clapped for myself. I feel proud because this event become successful.

(Authornim: Wow, big word for you to say)

Yah, I'm really proud of myself. Don't start with me Ms. Author.

(Authornim: You just bought some supplies. Hahahahaha!)

Ugh, whatever authornim.

Don't mind the author, guys. We all did our best for this gathering minus the part where you-know-what-happened. I stood up as well as the others to bid the guests goodbye.

Yay, finally. It's finished!
