Chapter 4

"Ruined"

I was waiting here in front of our Village, and Dex still not there. I decide to text Ellie if she will meet us in a restaurant or meet in our school.

To: Ellie

[ Hey, good morning Ellie. Where will you meet us? Should we meet directly in a restaurant or maybe inside our school? ] Then she replies immediately.

[ Uhmm... maybe directly to the restaurant? I think it's the best. LOL ]

So we decided to meet directly at the restaurant. Then suddenly, Dex startled me like, sooner or later, he will kill me.

"Fuck you!!! How many times will you do that, huh? hmmmmmmm... you know what, if your not my friend, maybe I've killed you now." I was so angry with him. He always irritates me.

Then he made a funny face to ask for my forgiveness. "Sorry..." It feels like he was making it more annoying while doing a long face and pouting his lips. "So what's the plan now?"

So I reply in a monotonous way because I do still not forgive him YET. "Can we go first?"

While we are on our way to meet Ellie, I was planing now on how I can get revenge on Dex, and suddenly, I remember that he has his own saving card in his wallet every time we spend our time hanging out.

The last time we go out, he covers all our bills, but he didn't know that I am the one who silently snatches his wallet inside his bag without realizing that his wallet is missing. He just realized it when we are eating, and his ATM card is already used to pay for our food.

I think this is the best thing for me again to get revenge on him. I can now imagine his reaction later if he found out that his ATM is being used again just like before.

"Sorry, Dex. I'm doing this again for the sake of my revenge." I whisper to myself, matching with an evil smile playing on my face. I silently sneak my hand into his bag and get his wallet. He's numb as ever.

We arrive exactly at 10:30 am, but we haven't seen Ellie in front of the restaurant, so Dex checks her inside. I stay outside for a while because I feel something not right. I check my phone to see if there is a message from my mom. Besides, there is a message from an unknown number.

Unknown:

[ Where are you? Today was suppose to be our meeting day, isn't it? ]

"Who the heck is this?" I ask my phone. I'm still thinking, where did this man get my fucking number. Maybe it scams, or they were just making fun of everyone who will reply to this unknown number. I ignore the text and go inside so that we can start our launch and visit some of the best quantum playgrounds.

After I enter Inasal restaurant, I saw a familiar face sitting next to our table. I didn't pay attention to that man because I want to eat and have some fun today.

"Hey, did you order now?" I ask these two lovebirds. Yes, they look like lovebirds, and I feel like I'm their chaperone or maybe third wheel. I sit next to Dex and start thinking of my plan on what food I should order for these two.

"No, not yet we're waiting for you." Ellie said.

"Okay, so, I should I order now?" I ask them and pretending to be so nice to Dex, but the truth is, this was really my plan in the first place.

But suddenly, Dex stood up and pledged himself. "No, you don't need to. Just sit here and wait for me, okay." He was so ready. Of course, I need to do something. I don't want Dex to ruin my plan for this.

"No, you don't have to, okay." I grab his shoulder and make him sit down again. "I am the one who asked you to come with me, so it's my treat, okay. Just stay put and have some fun here while I'm ordering what you want."

"Okay, that's what you want, huh. Uhmmm... I want one piece of chicken with unli-rice and two Iced tea. That's all." He was so happy telling me what he wants.

Let see later if you can still smile if you found out that this was my revenge. I can't stop imagining his face later. I shook my head to clear my imagination. "Okay, I get it." Then I ask Ellie. "How about you Ellie, what do you want? Don't worry. It's on me. You can order whatever you want-"

I was so shocked when someone grabs my hands. "Oh... so you really ignored my text, huh. I think this must be more important than this project?" I still don't get what he's saying.

"What are you saying? I don't know what-" Then it pup up on my mind the text I received earlier. So he's the one who texted me.

"So what's now? Aren't you going? Or do you want me to pull you out here and explain what is happening? You know what, you're just wasting my time to wait for your reply, then you were just having fun here-" He didn't even finish his sentence because of what I did.

I was so embarrassed right now because everyone is looking at us. Even Dex and Ellie was so shocked now. I can't imagine myself again doing this in public places, but I can't handle his annoying attitude anymore.

"Ok- Okay..." He just laughs. "So this was a second one, huh?" He smiled at me while massaging his nose bridge.

I don't know what to say. I feel like I'll collapse now, but Ellie grabs my hand immediately to support my body to still stand up. Dex also helps me to sit down for a while. I didn't know when Biong leave. I didn't even feel his presence while leaving us here. I can't still figure out why he would do this in front of so many people. This day was supposed to be the best day for us but look. I am also the one who ruined this plan. And I can't face them now because of what happened, especailly to Biong. I feel like the world is always against my happiness.
