After hours of waiting for the school hours to end, they finally were able to take a break. Ray brings the twins to the cafeteria to get lunch for the three of them.
This time Ray looks for an empty table they can use before going straight to the line to buy her food like she usually does. When she found one, she let the twins settle first. Before she could make any move to get away from the twin, a man came to their table.
"Oh! Look what we have here. You didn't tell me, you bring my kids with you"
Katana for the first time being with Ray, she found the smile slip away from her face, the once friendly pretty face of their babysitter was replaced by a cold emotionless one. Kanata, on the other hand, looks scared and about to shit himself.
Ray look at the guy looking behind her, who she founds stupid. She stand in front of the twins blocking them from the stupid ape before her.
"I see. You got yourself hit your head, and be a delusional stupid homosapiens, to even day dream them being yours? I pity you, Janus Pendleton"
The guy named Janus was taken by surprise. Ray always keeps to herself, she never talks back...so what's different now?
Everyone's attention was now focused on them. "You piece of—" before he could finish his sentence he was cut off by the paper Ray gagged him.
"Don't you dare say bad words in front of the little ones, you airhead" she said and flick Janus' forehead.
In just a flick of her slim finger, Janus almost stumbles backwards. He, fortunately, found his balance before he fell on his butt and saved himself from the humiliation.
Ray is not yet done, she's just starting. And this was the reason why she always restraining herself to backlash against them, but today is different. She won't let the twins see her being humiliated by an idiot, such as Janus fucking Pendleton.
She leaned towards him, leveling her lips to his right ear, putting her right hand on his left shoulder. "Don't you even think about my little ones...or else I'll make sure you won't think again" she whispered.
Ray once again, put her smile back to her lips, she sighs and her friendly harmless demeanor comes back. She faces the twins who are eyeing her with amazement and smiles on their faces.
"Can you stay here and wait for me while I get our food, little ones?" Ray asked and the twin just nodded at her continuously. She giggled and patted their heads and left them on their table and made her way towards the line, like nothing happened and she didn't threaten the famous jock named Janus Pendleton.
"She's cool, isn't she?" A guy said sitting opposite to the twins.
The twins looked at him, shocked. "Big brother?!" Kanata whispers. The guy waved and smiled at them.
"I see, so you two were the reason" he said, almost to himself.
"Huh?" Katana asked him flatly.
"Nah, it's nothing. Do me a favour, little siblings. Don't tell Ray Lee that I'm one of your brothers" he said.
He is confident that Ray didn't bother to look at every file she gave to her.
Katana raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. She didn't care about her other brothers except for her twin, anyway. Kanata just nods and does the locking tactic of lips and throwing away the imaginary key he used. The two giggle and Katana just sigh, idiots.
Ray sat with them and gave the foods she bought for the twins to them, and looking between Kanata and her study buddy, she has this feeling that tells her they are up to something.
"What are you doing here?" Ray asked her study buddy that she didn't even bother to remember his name. All she cares about is for him to show in their scheduled meeting and cooperate with their study group. "Hmm...maybe, I just want to see the cuties with you? Or maybe, I want you to consider me as your friend? What do you think?"
"Or maybe, you are here just to pissed me off. Leave us alone" Ray said and shoveled a spoonful of food in her mouth. "Eh? Why? Can't I join your table for lunch, Ray Lee?" He asked.
"I don't let strangers eat with me at the same table, mister"
Katana listens to her baby sitter's argument with her brother who obviously, that Ray doesn't know his name. "But I'm no stranger... we're study buddies, remember?" He said. Trying his luck to the girl.
"You are a stranger with benefits for me, mister-whatever-your-name is" Ray spit and ate the last piece of her food and drank her water. "If you excuse us" Ray said and brought the twins with her out of the cafeteria and towards the locker room.
She sits the two at a wooden chair set in their locker room, while she gets her PE uniform and changes into it.
"Ray-chan, do you have friends here?" Kanata asked her.
Ray thinks of it, does she have those people she can call friends? Then she remembered someone she considered as her first ever best friend. "Yeah, I have one," she said and finished dressing.
"You just have one? Why is that?" Kanata asked again, Katana just listened to them attentively, like her twin she's also curious about their baby sister, by now, she already concluded that there's something more about the teenager who is taking care of them.
"It's because she is the only one who is real and true to me. She didn't hesitate to tell me my mistakes and compliment my achievements, she accepted me for who I am and didn't expect anything else from me. She just wants me to be happy and enjoy the life I'm living" Ray subconsciously smiles and a lone tear slips from her right eye.
