Some girls can be nasty!!!

I usually purely ate my packed lunch in my quiet place, but today Marjorie was complaining that I am always missing during lunchtime. How can I eat in the canteen? It is so noisy, and I hate looking at people with their mocking face and murmuring something while I am sitting beside one of the most beautiful faces in school. I sense that they are wondering why a beautiful girl who is rich and talented is my best friend. They never knew the truth that Marjorie was always bullied in kindergarten. Boys teased her and pull her ponytails and me her mighty big girl save her and beat the hell out of those naughty boys. From that day onward we became best friends forever, and we even swear with two of our pinkies. So, they can keep on gossiping, and I don't care what they say about me and my bestie as long as they don't harm me or Marjorie. They can croak like frogs, and I joyfully ignore them.

Marjorie: It's been a while that you join me during lunch...

Me: What do you mean(pretending that I don't understand her.)

Marjorie: I bought tiramisu with me.

Me: Really!!!! your bestie is having lunch with tiramisu today!!! Hehe, I mean with you!!!

Marjorie laugh gently and jokingly said, "I got the feeling sometimes were the only bestie because of my mom's tiramisu!!!"

Me: He he he..... I laugh so loudly.

Marjorie's mom's name is Norma. She loves cooking and baking. She and my mom were classmates in cooking and baking class. Her mom makes the best tiramisu I have ever tasted in my life, but it is only second to my mom's Tiramisu.

Where sitting in the canteen and placing our packed lunch on the table and I forget to bring a drink with me and I notice Marjorie doesn't have one too.

Me: I am going to buy a drink. Do you want one?

Marjorie: Yes please, a cola will do.

She was about to give me some money and I said drinks on me and dessert on you!!! She smiles and said ok thanks.

I went to buy 2 colas in the vending machine and to my surprise, Ben was there too. Upon seeing me, he smiles and said hey you!!!

And I said hey you too. He was grinning now and ask me what do you want to drink?

Me: why are you asking?

Ben: I am buying you one.

Me: No, don't buy for me. I can pay for myself.

Ben: I insist as a gesture of our friendship.

Me: What?

Ben: He smiles and said I am new in the school and yours is the first person I collided and talk to.

I was laughing remembering that brief incident in the school hallway yesterday and the beach.

Me: Ok then a cola for me.

Ben inserted the money in the vending machine and bought two and give me one can of cola. I said thank you, Ben. Then I said let me buy one for my friend, and I was about to insert the money, and he touched my hand and said let me buy one for your friend too.

I was about to insist that he doesn't have to do that, but I start to notice that people were observing Ben and me. So I said ok thank you, Ben, as I want to avoid prolonging this conversation.

Ben still holding the other cola for my friend and said where are you sitting?

I said to myself, what? he wants to carry the drink to my table too.

Eyes are darting on us now, maybe wondering why is Ben holding a drink for me.

I grab the drink from Ben and said it's ok, I can carry the drink to my table. Thank you very much, Ben.

Then I walk away from Ben. Unknowingly, one girl put her leg to trip me, and I was about to fell, but Ben grab me and hold me close to his chest to keep my balance.

We look at each other's eyes and I blush at what just happened and my heart beats faster being so closed to Ben.

I smiled and said thank you and remove myself from Ben's embrace and give a murderous look at the girl who wants to trip me.

I had to remember that girl's face for one day she will get something in return for her behavior today.
