I felt my blood boil when he said that. I just wanted so bad to smack that dame face of his. He was really getting on my nerve this time. I stomped back to my seat. Just then the bell rang, it was lunch break. I got out of the classroom, books tucked under my arm, fuming.
Monica: cool down girl. (tags along)
Cathrine: can't! (annoyed)
Monica: what did he say to you that got you fuming like that? (chuckles)
Cathrine: I just don't understand, what he thinks he is, passing down comments like that.
Monica: alright, i got the clue. let's just forget about him for now. let's head to the cafeteria first, i heard they are serving pizza today.
cathrine: mm-hmm (hums)
we turned right and entered the cafeteria. As M told, the did were serving pizza. That lifted up my spirits. we sat down on our favorite window side table where all of my other friend were sitting including my BF, stefen. I sat down next to him.
Stefen: what got you looking like this? (pinches her cheek)
Cathrine: Mmhm- nothing. Just tired from last night.
Stefen: Babe, I told you to take some rest. You could have taken a leave today.
Cathrine: Nah, don't worry.( stuffs her mouth with food)
Stefen: You are so cute.( gushes)
Anaya who was watching all this spoke up asking about her grandfather's health.
Cathrine: Not good, the symptoms are acting up again. I can't even risk taking a leave, the finals are right around the cornor. Haaa.... (sighs)
Anaya: then, who's with grand pa?
cathrine: My aunt. She came over today, i am certain she would stay until this weekend.
Stefen: do want some help in studies? I can come over, if you want..( worried)
Cathrine: Thanks, i will appreciate it.(smiles warmly)
Jacklyn who was seating across them was boiling with jealousy. Now, not able to control it declared that she wanted to throw a party. She invited every one to the party. when, stefen did not reply.
Jacklyn: stefen? aren't you coming?
Stefen: Cath are you in?
Jacklyn: if you won't come, then I won't celebrate.
Stefen: but-!
Cathrine: Don't worry, he will go. (calmy states)
Stefen: Then what about you?
Cathrine: you know the answer, then why ask?
Jacklyn: Thanku sis, for sending over YOUR boyfriend to MY party. ( sarcastic)
Ignoring her, I got up from the table. Stefen also follows my action and comes behind me like a obedient child does. After disposing off the plates, I lead the way to the lobby at the east wing which had usually less passerby.
when i was going to enter the library, he held my hand back and stopped me in my tracks.
Stefen: babe?...
Cathrine: what?
