Chapter 7: Date

Narrator's POV

It's lunchtime.

John and Katherine went to have lunch together.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Ronan saw them.

"John!"

John and Katherine went to them.

"Hi, guys"

"Who is she?"

"Let me introduce you to Katherine Lopez,"

John introduced Katherine to the gang.

"Nice to meet you all,"

"Are you going to have lunch?" Reese said.

"Yes"

"You can join us," Thalia said.

"Is it ok?"

"Yeah"

"Thank you"

John and Katherine joined the gang.

"I will buy lunch for us. What do you like?"

"Same as you,"

"Ok. Wait for a while,"

John left to buy lunch for both him and Katherine.

"So. What are you and John?" Thalia asked.

"I like, John and we are seeing each other"

"Oh"

All of them said and looked at Karina.

"What are you all looking at?" Karina said.

"Nothing"

After a few minutes, John went back, holding his and Katherine's lunch.

"Here you go, Kath,"

"Thank you"

"You know. You look good together," Thalia said.

Zane hit Thalia's shoulder.

"What?"

Zane points at Karina secretly.

Thalia looked at Karina.

"Oh. Just saying"

Thalia saw that Karina is intently looking at John and Katherine. The look of being jealous.

After a few minutes, they are all done eating lunch.

"We should probably go," John said.

"Oh, ok"

"Let's go, Kath,"

"Ok"

Katherine's POV

I am so happy because I made new friends and they are all friendly.

I observed when we are having lunch. The other girl is looking intently at us. It's like she is jealous of John and me. Is she the one that John likes? I think she is Karina.

"John"

"Uhum?"

"Karina is looking at us like she is jealous,"

"What? Jealous?"

"Because it's written in his face. I can tell,"

"Let's not talk about Karina, ok?"

"Ok"

Why would Karina be jealous when she said to herself that she doesn't like John?

John's POV

I am in my bedroom thinking about what Katherine said about Karina looking jealous at us.

I wouldn't believe it because why would Karina be jealous of us when she said it herself, that she doesn't like me.

Ah! Stop thinking about it, John. Focus on Katherine and not Karina.

Let's open SNS instead.

I scrolled and scrolled, and I found that there's a new café opening near the school.

I want to try their menus.

And I thought of Katherine. I should ask her if she is available tomorrow.

I called Katherine.

"Hello, John? Why did you call?"

"Are you available tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"There's a new café opening near the school. Let's go together,"

"Are you asking me to a date?"

"You can say that,"

"Ok. Let's go tomorrow, but I have a curfew until four because I need to study for the upcoming exam next week,"

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about the exam. I need to study also. The cafe will be open at 11,"

"Ok. See you tomorrow. I will be there at 11:15,"

"Ok. See you tomorrow,"

Thalia's POV

There's a new café opening tomorrow.

I will call Zane if he can come with me.

After a few seconds, Zane accepts the call.

"What is it, Thalia?"

"Nothing. Just asking if you are available tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"There's a new café opening tomorrow. Let's go there tomorrow,"

"Ok. What time?"

"11"

"Ok. I will wait at your gate tomorrow,"

"See you tomorrow,"

"Uhum"

End of call.

Yes! Oh, right. What should I wear tomorrow?

I went to my closet and looked for casual attire.

Yeah, this is the one. I will wear this tomorrow.

The next day.

It's the weekend. I love weekends.

I am now wearing my clothes. After that, I did my hair and a little bit of make-up.

After a few minutes, I'm done.

I grab my bag with notebooks because I planned to go to the school library after eating at the café. After all, the exam is in next week. I need to study.

My phone vibrated, and it's a text from Zane saying that he's waiting for me outside our house.

I quickly went down, said goodbye to my parents, and went out.

When I'm outside, I saw Zane. He is wearing denim pants and a black shirt, the same as me.

"Oh. We are wearing the same outfit. Let's take a picture together,"

Zane and I took a selfie.

"Let's go?"

"Uhum"

When Zane and I are walking, some of the people are looking at us.

"Are they a couple?"

"They are wearing a matching outfit,"

"They are so handsome and beautiful,"

"They are a perfect couple,"

I heard you people, and it made me blushed.

Do Zane and I make a great couple?

I looked at Zane, and he is looking straight ahead.

When we arrive at the café, we picked a seat which is on the second floor and ordered food after.

Zane ordered Frappuccino, chocolate cake, and pasta, while I ordered a milkshake, chocolate mousse cake, and lasagna.

After ordering and got our orders, we went back to our seats.

We are now eating.

I looked at Zane, and he is enjoying his food.

"You are enjoying your food, Zane. Is it delicious?"

"Super"

"I agree"

And we continued to eat.

It looks like Zane and I are having a date.

After a few minutes, we are done eating.

"I'm so full,"

"Me too"

I looked at the first floor, and I saw John and Karina.

Are they having a date? I shall take a pic and send it to our GC for girls.

"Who are you taking a picture?"

"Look over there, Zane. It's John and Katherine. I think they are having a date,"

"Oh"

"I will send their picture to our GC,"

I send John and Katherine's picture in our GC.

"Guess what I saw girls,"

"Is that John and Katherine?" Elkie asked.

"Yup. I think they are having a date,"

"I think you don't have to worry about John, Karina. I think he is over you,"

"That's great because he will not annoy me anymore," Karina said.

"Ok. I will log out now,"

"Ok"

End of conversation.

"How about we go to the school library, Zane,"

"Why?"

"To study for our upcoming exam. I brought my notes with me,"

"Uh. I forgot about the exam. Ok, let's go. Teach me Math,"

"Ok. Let's go,"

When we arrived at the library, we looked for books and find a table.

Zane and I sat beside each other.

I taught Zane Math.

After teaching Zane Math, we studied on our own.

I was busy studying. I looked at the time, and it's already 3:30 in the afternoon. I looked at Zane, and he's sleeping.

Zane is so handsome.

OMG! My heart is beating fast.

I don't know what's happening to me because my face is leaning forward to Zane.

Zane's POV

I feel like I am going to fall into my dream, so I woke up. But I bump into something hard, and my head hurts.

"Ow! It hurts"

"Are you ok, Thalia? I'm sorry,"

"It's ok,"

"Your forehead is red,"

"It's ok. I'm alright anyway,"

After studying, Thalia and I decided to go home.

While Thalia and I are walking, I thought about eating takoyaki.

"How about we go to Japanese fast food. I'm hungry and want to eat takoyaki,"

"Ok. I'm also hungry. I want to eat okonomiyaki,"

"Ok. It's going to be my treat this time because you paid for the bill at the café,"

"Ok"

And we went to a Japanese fast-food chain.
