The red apple that should have stayed green

Chapter 3 - Deal

One day, two days passed and still no news of the teacher and our Kimmie was so tensed and in her thoughts, that each time someone was calling her name she was jumping from her chair. When lunch time arrived she went to take her lunch box but because she was out of her mind this morning she forgot it on the table in the kitchen. She sighed. Her friends worried looked at each other.

"Is something wrong Kim ? - asked Hanna

No answer. Kim was still think of what she was gonna eat for today.

-Kimmie ? Kimmie are you alright ? - said Eun Bi worried

-Hum ? What did you said ? - said Kim realizing they were talking to her.

-Are you okay ? You seemed so out these days. -repeated Hanna

-Ah yes don't worry – she answered with her usual fake smile.

As she is always hiding her feeling deep inside Kim made a fake smile she trained in front her mirror to make it looks good. And so she is faking happy feelings, she can't make people worried around her.

-Okay, if you say so – said Eun Bi with a little voice.

-Hey girls, I'm gonna buy some food in the cafeteria wanna come with me ? - she told then to stop talking about this.

-Oh you don't have food today ? Is your mom sick ? - Hanna claimed her

-No no I just forgot in – she laughed a bit –so coming ?

-Yes I am, you too Bi ?

-I'm coming yes."

The trio went to the cafeteria together to choose Kim a meal, her crepe for tonight will be lost in this meal.She was regretting her cold lunch on the table. She took a bread, a sausage, and banana milk for desert. When she was about to pay her friends went to the toilets, urgent needs. She took her purse in her pocket and gave the money to the kitchen woman but one coin felt on the floor. She bent to pick it up when she saw a hand over it.

"Hey it's my coin ! - She almost screamed

-I know, but I'll keep it. If you want it back come to the crepe shop. Here's another one. Use it but give me the money back"

It was Lee Jinki Teacher who was smiling andproud about what he did.

She stayed still there, mouth open, for so muchtime that everyone were screaming at her to hurry up. She paid herlunch while her friends came back.

"What did Lee Jinki teacher wanted ? - askHanna

-You saw it ? - answer Kim worried

Yes, what happened ? Why did he talked to you ?What did he gave you ?

-Nothing ... well ... he just picked up my cointhat fell. - she said showing it to Hanna – Where is Eun Bi ? - shetried to change the subject – Why isn't she with you ?

-Still there, there are so much girls in therestrooms at this hour.

-I see."

Time had fly so slowly, she saw minutes afterminutes ... she thought the day will never end. What happened at noonwas bothering Kim. Should she go ? After all she was able to pay herlunch, and the money left was so small. And she spent her crepe inlunch. Let's just not go tonight.

Ring Ring Ring !! End of school !! She almostjump out of her chair and run out without waiting for her friends.She wanted to be home as fast as possible. To pass by the crepe shopbefore Lee Jinki, to avoid him. Because what if she pass by and hesaw her not coming in ? What will he think of her ? Better avoiding.Avoiding is easier.
