"I asked if you could be my prom partner?" He asked this time looking at her eyes balls.
"Em..Am hungry..I will go to the canteen.if you like you can come along." She said trying to avoid answering the question
"Oh. After you then." Zach said with a frown on his face.
They all left to the canteen. At the canteen students were already there feeding their stomachs. Joy quickly saw a table and led them there since there was no space.
Unknowingly to her, all the students removed their attention from the food they were eating to joy and the boys. They were suprsed to see Zach and his friends following a girl. And out of all the girls,they chose joy. Lisa's friends were there and they secretly took pictures of them.
JOY'S POV
Joy took her train of food from the chef and went to her table. She saw the boys operating their phones and wanted to ask if they want to eat their phones. She quickly held herself and looked around. It then dawned on her that the students on the canteen were no longer eating but watching her as if she was some movie.
Zach saw her looking at the students and called her. That only made issues worst.
"Joy?"
"Huh."
"Why aren't you eating your food?"
"Nothing. I'm eating it actually." She said and put a little portion of food in her mouth. There was a little stain on her mouth. Zach stood up from his sit and went to her side of the table. He sat close to her and and used a tissue to clean up the stain.
Joy was surprised at what just happened the closeness between them and looked into Zach eyes. Zach did the same and he looked at her not wanting her to divert her gaze.
'Joy? What is wrong with you. This isn't what you came to orchid for. Stop this madness.' Joy's head keeps saying to her but she didn't know what to do.
Dan and Fred just looked at them from their side of the table shocked and surprised.
Zach broke the gaze by touching her hair and he chuckled.
'Why is he chuckling after causing a scene?" Joy asked herself and she looked angry
"Are you done with the food? Or you want to go back the library?" Zach cut in when he saw that she was angry. Though he doesn't know why.
"I'm done with the food." She answered and stood up. She walked out of the canteen to the library. The three boys were surprised at what just happened. Why did she leave like that? Or was she angry? They asked themselves. Zach quickly stood up and followed her. Dan and Fred had no choice but to follow their friend.
The whole student in the canteen were surprised especially the girls. How can almighty Zach, Lisa's boyfriend run after a common students who's on scholarship? They kept asking themselves.
AT THE LIBRARY
"Joy? What's wrong?" Zach asked
"Zach you asked me what's wrong after the scene you created at the canteen? Unbelievable!" She said with her eyes red
"What scene joy and why is you eyes red?" Zach asked feeling guilty when he saw her eyes red.
"Why didn't tell me there was stain on my lips? No didn't. But instead you want to be the one to clean it so I can get in a web with you Zach!" Joy said crying and her eyes were red with anger burning inside.
"I don't understand what you are saying joy?"
"Oh you do Zach. That's why you asked me the silly question to be your prom partner."
This time Dan and Fred had reached the library and they saw joy crying.
