All eyes on our table

Thanks to Ben, I survive the tripping incident. After thanking him for saving me, I went back to our table. Give Marjorie her cola when I saw her eyes, not attentive to me, and she said the good-looking guy at twelve o'clock walking towards our table, and he is looking at you interestingly.

I turned, and I saw Ben closed to me, and he said can I sit with you? I said yes, feeling shy about his intentions.

Now, all curious eyes are on us. I just ignore it and keep behaving as if it's a usual thing that happens every day, but my heart says different. It beats faster.

Marjorie pinch me at the back to get my attention and whisper in my ears who is this hank? Feeling awkward with her proving eyes and I said Marjorie, Victoria, and Angel met Ben. Ben met my friends Marjorie, Victoria, and Angel. Ben smile briefly and said nice meeting you all, and my friends said the same here.

Marjorie looks more curious now about what is going on between me and Ben. I whisper in her ears, stop imagining things, nothing is going on here. While I felt a kick in my leg. I almost cry with pain and announce, some people can really act like a horse they can even kick painfully. Angel laughs boisterously. Victoria injected, maybe the horse got excited seeing a hunk. I pinch Victoria lightly under the table. Victoria glared at me and laugh.

Victoria and Marjorie had the look of curiosity. They are going to investigate Ben.

Marjorie starts to inquire about Ben. She asked him. I never saw you in the canteen before. Are you new here?

Ben: Yes just transferred. He looks deeply at Mardin and said. Do you swim daily?

Mardin: I do unless I got some school work or activities.

Marjorie was excited about her bestie. She knows Mardin doesn't like talking to boys, and this one is an exception. She is excited to know what is going on between these two.

Victoria asks Ben, How did you two meet? I bump on Mardin on my first day of transfer yesterday and in the afternoon I saw her on the beach. I live in front of the beach. My parents bought the house.

Marjorie was about to investigate more about Ben. Then suddenly a good-looking guy sits beside Marjorie and said, hi sweetheart. You didn't wait for me. Arnold pretending to have a hurtful look at his girlfriend. Marjorie, ignores this funny-feigning hurt look and gives him a little smack, and said you're late!!!! I am sorry, Arnold exclaimed. Ok, you are forgiven, Marjorie added.

Marjorie: It's a good thing that Mardin is eating slowly today, otherwise she will finish the Tiramisu. And nothing left for you because you came late.

When I heard this. I grab the Tiramisu and jokingly said oh no I am not sharing this dessert with anyone, this baby is all mine.

And they all laugh.....
