FOURTH *(My Last Teenage Year)*

<Because you asked for it ❤️>

Sophia didn't know how to react on seeing Alvin. This was someone she detested from the very first day she had an encounter with him. "How is this possible?", she asked herself in confusion. She couldn't believe that she had been crushing over her enemy. Not really enemy, but it's safe to call him her enemy since they weren't on good terms.

Alvin who was confused as well couldn't help but laugh. This wasn't a happy laugh; but a laugh that expressed surprise and shock. He received flashbacks of the first day they met. How she had embarrassed him and called him a creep. He was displeased with her and couldn't believe that she was the same person he had been chatting with all these while. He decided to be the bigger person and break the silence.

"Umm, this is a surprise. I never thought that it could be you"

"Well, same here. It's a shock to me as well. Umm, um" , replied Sophia stammering.

"Well, since you're here already. If you don't mind, you can sit. I'll love to ask you something and I think this is a perfect time to ask you", said Alvin as he brought out the seat for Sophia. Yes he was a bit annoyed by her but he was still a gentleman after all. He wanted to know the exact reason she embarrassed him that day. At that point, he kinda figured that it might have been a misunderstanding, because the girl he had been chatting with had been respectful and lovely. He knew she wouldn't just do that without a reason. That was why he decided to make good use of the opportunity.

Sophia thought for a bit and decided to sit down. She had already spent time, energy and money coming to the restaurant. It would be a waste to go back without at least having something to eat or drink since she was hungry already. She didn't eat anything prior to coming to the restaurant cause she knew they were going to have some food. She was a bit uncomfortable because why would a creep be nice to her while chatting all those time. She was even surprised he brought out the seat for her to sit on.

Looking at him, she was amazed by his beauty. He was well dressed and looked magnificent. Emily was right after all. She had never seen him this good looking before while at school. She then realized she was thinking too much about him and shook her head. She cleared her throat and adjusted her chair.

"Go ahead, I'm listening",

"Well, our first encounter wasn't quite good and memorable. I was waiting for my friend in the coffee shop when you came out of no where and started abusing me and embarrassing me. I want to know why you did that".

"Umm. Well, you were the one who wrote something disrespectful and sent to me"

"What?? When? I never wrote anything down that day."

"My friend gave me a note that said 'how much for one night baby?'. She said it was from a boy putting on a green shi...rt",. At this point, Sophia then realized that she was mistaken. She vividly remembered that Alvin was putting on a green cap and not a green shirt.

"I wasn't even putting on a green shirt that day. Ohh, yeah, it was my cap that was green. But I didn't write anything like that",

Sophia realized that she had messed up. She was so ashamed and wanted to cover her face in shame. "I'm so sorry Alvin. I'm really really really sorry. I was mistaken. I thought you were the one who wrote it. I'm so sorry please".

"It's fine actually. It's okay. We all make mistakes. And I'm also sorry for yelling at you too"

"No. You shouldn't be sorry. You had every reason to yell at me. I'm so sorry".

"It's fine. Umm. It's actually quite funny how we met here. The world is really a small place", said Alvin as he smiled at Sophia.

Finally, they resolved the misunderstanding. They both apologized to each other and ordered food and drinks. They both continued conversing with each other while eating and smiling. It was like they had been friends since childhood. Sophia enjoyed the conversation as well as Alvin.
