That One Incident

Chapter 7

RECAP:Waiter:"Excuse me, ladies, here are your drinks. We are very sorry if it took too long, the food is still being prepared, I hope you don't mind. If you need anything, simply go to the counter and I'll assist you.

After the waiter left, Kelly thought that the teasing would no longer continue, but it did. As the two are busy teasing her, she simply smiled but she was not paying attention. Kelly looked as Mateo and his friends entered the cafe and were being assisted by a helper toward a table.Kelly stared at the people entering the cafe. She has a straight, almost poker face. She relaxes her face as she did not want to show her admiration.

Mateo and his friends are assisted by the waiter toward a table located right across the table from Kelly and her friend's table.

Kelly thought:"Of all the place and time, how could I see him here???" Kelly sighed with a bit of nervousness and shyness.

Waiter:"Excuse me, ladies, here are your foods.

Kelly:"Thank you!"

Waiter:"Is there anything else? If there aren't any, please enjoy your meal!

As the three ate, the two couldn't help but notice the people across the table. Maya saw that Mateo is sitting there and couldn't help but tease Kelly. The three continued to joke around over the same topic but soon stopped. The conversation switched from teasing to Wattpad and Mangas they are reading.

Rosy:"I saw a really interesting story in Tiktok from earlier, I'm trying to look for it now," Rosy said with an encouraging tone.

Maya:"Let me see! Is it a novel or a manga? bl?"Maya clinging to Rosy to tell her about the story.

Rosy:"Yes, sis!!! It's bl and is a manga"

Kelly:"Really!? What's the title?"

While Rosy, Maya, and Kelly talk about the stories they are reading, both juicy ones and not-so-juicy ones, red flag, and green flag characters, and how good-looking and muscular the leads are, a different story is happening at the other table.

On the other table, Mateo and his friends are busy chattering about a little something.

Friend #1:"Did you guys order yet?"

Friend #2:"Not yet, Does anyone wanna order? Let's just list all of our orders so it can be ordered as a whole."

Mateo:"I'll order, what are you guys going to order?"After listing the orders, Mateo went to the cashier to place the orders. while he orders, his friends talked about a little 'chismis' (gossip).

Friend #1:"Hey, have you guys heard about a sophomore having a crush on Mateo?"

Friend #2:"The one in the Pediatrics department?"

Friend #1:"Yup!"
