Overlooked Past Events, Humiliation Of Whom?

Kara's voice was so loud that the people on the tables near them heard her question. She made it seem to them that Alia had done something wrong. And it made Alia annoyed.

But her face didn't change even a bit. Alia remained calm. She did not want Kara to succeed in humiliating her.

So, with a smile on her face she deflected Kara's question, "Of course not, bff! They just wanted me to help in directing people in reorganizing the garden to give way to the new flowers and plants that mom ordered.That's all"

Amiel, who had been quiet the whole time, spoke up for the first time. Her voice was full of enthusiasm, "Wow! Your parents must have really trusted you!"

Amiel made her voice as loud as Kara's voice so a lot of students had also heard this. Her statement diffused the negativity of Kara's earlier accusation that was disguised as a question.

Kara secretly frowns. She really hated this nosy girl! Even that Azra girl is an annoying pest in her life! She has to get rid of the two girls that lingers around this idiot Alia, so that she can achieve her part of the plan.

She smiled at the two girls in front of her, and expressed in a regretful voice," Oh, sorry bff! I thought that you were going to be punished, but I was wrong.Please forgive me!"

If Alia didn't know that this so-called bff of hers was a backstabber, she would've believed her too. She was so good at acting pitiful! And if anyone heard her say that, they'll rather think that Alia was a petty kind of person for treating her friend poorly after she made a wrong guess.

'Well, if you want to act, then let's see if you can beat me!'

Alia smiled sweetly at Kara and replied, " It's no biggie bff! Let's forget it now, so don't be sad!"

Everyone who was secretly watching their exchange saw that Alia was really an understanding best friend and a person who doesn't make a big deal about such small matters. Their image of her set up higher than before.

Meanwhile, as they ponder over these things, Kara wanted to grab the opportunity to ingratiate herself more into Lia's life, so she acted grateful and asked, "Thank you bff! You're really the best! Do you need any help with anything? Would you like me to come to your house instead, and help you?"

While Kara was acting grateful and concerned, Alia was observing her. No wonder that she believed this girl in the past. Kara was so good at adapting into acting according to what a situation asks of her! Look at her now, she really looks like a person that wants to repent from her earlier mistake.

'Well, too bad for her, I've already seen her true colors!'

Before Alia can answer, Amiel already got Kara's attention.

"So Kara…. Do you mean that you know something about gardening?"

Her face was full of childlike innocence while her eyes gave off a sparkling curiosity that compelled people not to accuse her of deliberately annoying Kara.

Of course, Kara thought otherwise. She maintained a calm expression, but deep inside her mind, she was berating Amiel from making fun of her. Her palm even secretly clenched, her nails digging into her flesh.

This girl has always blocked her approach to Alia. Ever since they've met, she has been fending her off Alia. Even her plan to 'save Alia from Robbers' had failed because of this Amiel and that Azra. The money she used to pay the 'robbers' was wasted due to these two pests' interference. She will make them pay thrice the price!

This was the reason that Kara has been easily riled up by Amiel in just a few sentences.

But for now, she has to quell any anger that she feels, so with a smile, she answered Amiel, " Lia said that she just has to direct people, right? So if she explained the do's and don'ts, then I'll be able to direct them too."

"You're right." Amiel lamented to Kara, but then added, "But Alia's family has a lot of maids and butlers. I'm sure that they have more knowledge than you in that regard. You'll just be in their way, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Kara became livid. How dare this pest! How can she accuse her as a hindrance to those maids and butlers? They're just a bunch of low-class people! They're just nothing compared to her. They should be glad that she's going to waste her time playing nice to them!

As Alia and Amiel watch Kara's expression show too much anger, to the point that her veins are starting to pop out of her forehead, they are both laughing inside while still remaining calm on the outside.

They're both feeling delighted with seeing this. At first, Amiel was worried that Alia would defend Kara, but seeing her still being calm and hearing no words of defense for Kara, she eventually calmed down.

This exchange was nothing. It's just like a fight between children. But it means a lot with Alia. In this way, she will have a reason to stay away from Kara. If Amiel and Azra keep riling her up, sooner or later, Kara's self portrayed righteous image will collapse. As per her memory, this was the time when Kara will start to instigate others to bully her and make her school life difficult, for her to save Alia and act as the heroine that saves the day, whilst Amiel and Azra would be projected as the villainesses that instigated the whole bullying in Alia's view.

She had believed Kara in the past, and avoided Amiel and Azra. No matter what they said about Kara, she never believed their words. In the end, she never let them near herself due to Kara's nagging.

Nagging that she once thought as a cute thing. But now, she wanted to vomit as soon as she remembered that she had related the word cute with Kara.

She's really blind and stupid back then. But no more. That Alia Ada was no more!

She won't extract revenge on them. But she'll expose Kara's true nature to others so that chances of them being victimized by Kara's act would be no more.

But for now, she'll have to endure seeing and talking with Kara a little more.

All of these separate thoughts of the three girls, just happened in a minute.

After composing herself, Kara smiled at Amiel and then turned towards Alia and batted her eyelashes, "Bff! I won't ever be a hindrance to you right? Besides, I can also help in another way! I can bake or cook something to feed and cheer up everyone after their hard work!"

Alia faltered a little at hearing this. She remembered a glimpse of her conversation with her soon to be sister-in-law and her friend yesterday.

"Oh! You're Alia, nice meeting you!" Miss Dianne cheerfully told Alia.

Sarah and Alia both smiled at Amy's enthusiasm. Alia followed it up with, "It's my honor to meet an amazing person like Miss Dianne!" Then she bowed her head towards Amy.

Dianne laughed but then waved her hands in front of her body and swiftly replied with, " Oh, no,no, no, no! You don't have to bow! I'm just an ordinary chef, no need for such formalities!"

"But you are also a student of Master Chen! So for me, you are amazing!" Alia exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.

She's not kidding when she told that to Miss Dianne. Like her older sister Sarah, she is also a student of the world's famous Master Chen, a renowned excellent chef of the decade. Master Chen has been choosing only five students every five years ever since he decided to teach aspiring chefs. He has always been a strict teacher and mentor to his students. All of them had to work hard with sweat and tears in order to achieve his approval. But all of them are all successful in their endeavours at their journey as Master Chen's students. No one has ever failed from those chefs that Master Chen had taught so far. So for Alia, his students are all amazing people, including sister Sarah and Miss Dianne.

Just thinking about it, her eyes glittered with joy and excitement. She hoped that she could be like them too, and succeed someday.

Sarah giggled as she saw that her fiance's cute little sister's eyes sparkled like a star. She turned towards Dianne and advised, "Just accept this cute little princess's compliment. As you can see, she won't likely change her mind on that one."

Diannex realized this too, so she nodded and acquiesce, " Alright, alright! Be thankful that you are such a cute lass."

Alia's face beamed even more.

The three of them sat down and talked about a lot of things. Until their topic turned into Lia's school.

"Oh! You're from Northern Star High School too?" Dianne asked as she heard Alia's school.

Alia looked a little puzzled as she questioned, "Too? Do you know someone from my school, sister Amy?" By now, Alia was calling Dianne 'sister' too, as really hit it off.

"No, but I've got a friend that has an aunt who teaches cooking to someone there."

Lia's face showed curiosity, which Amy thought was a cute one, so she added, " She told me that the student was about the same age as you, and her last name was something like Martinez? I'm not sure about the latter, I kinda forgot, but the former is confirmed since I remembered Amy telling me that.

Alia smiled and said, " Really? I hope I'll know who she is soon! It's good to meet someone with the same interest as me."

She was calm when she was saying those words, but her mind was thinking about a certain person.

A person that blatantly lied to her and her family in her last life. She told them that she has a natural talent for cooking and baking, and just needed to watch someone cook then she'll be able to do it correctly after just a few times. But it seemed that she had a teacher that teaches her secretly! She used this charm to get the trust and approval of her family.

Alia snapped out of her thoughts. She turned towards Kara and said, "Don't be sad bff! I'll just ask my parents if it is okay."

Kara beamed and told Alia, " You're the best Bff!" She pretended to look at her watch then exclaimed, "Oh! I've got to go Bff, I still got some tasks to do for my homeroom teacher. I'll see you later, take care!"

She kissed Alia's cheeks then stood up. She doesn't want to talk with these two idiots anymore, and there's a chance that the third idiot will arrive soon, so she better go. She'll just end up having some wrinkles with these pests!

As she walks to the cafeteria's exit….

BLAG!
