CHAPTER 3

Classes had been finished. I met Jason at a parking area near the backyard. He was leaning his back against a door car, waiting for me. I walked there without looking at him.

"I'm sorry!" – I pursed my lips.

He held his hand in front of my face. I looked up – didn't get it.

"What?" – I asked.

"Your lovely places?" – His voice sounded like joking. His moist lips curled attractively.

"You must be kidding! It was so embarrassing and it is not something to make a joke of!" – I faltered. Smile faintly.

"No, I am not! Just give them to me! I was invited!" – He urged me. Giggled.

He actually got me! I felt like having no choice. I stared at him, slowly took the piece of paper out and hesitated to put it on his hand.

"Do I get to choose?" – He looked after glancing at them. Smiled enigmatically.

"Y-yes! Yes of course! It...It is my treat!" – I shrugged but cried inside.

They were all luxious and expensive restaurants.

He still kept his mysterious smile.

"What about Galvin at Windows?"

He was not this type of person. I started at him for a while, cried louder inside because Mom just gave me money for this week and going to that French restaurant meant I would got nothing to eat for the rest of the week. Needless to say, it was one of the finest, most luxury restaurants in London.

"Yeah...I mean...Yes! Sure! Let's go!" – I smiled bashfully.

At the bottom of my heart, I was so regretful. I knew he was joking at me and that made me even more frustrated as he couldn't help chuckling. Sitting in his car, I told myself that tonight I would do something to make him feed me for the rest of this week, including my clothes and other necessary stuff. I would have to cling onto him.

We walked in and I was amazed. It was the first time I've ever been to this type of restaurant. It was on the 28th floor where we got to see over not only Hype Park but the whole London and I didn't think I had to mention anything about their food, its price and the service. They seemed all perfect to me.

He chose the table right next to the ceiling-to-floor window. The sky was getting darker so all I could see was glitter lights. And Hype Park was covered with a mysterious black colour.

"So what's up?" – Jason asked after ordering two starters, courses, drinks and desserts for later.

I couldn't do anything but screamed inward – My money would be being thrown through the window by tonight.

"I just want to ask you for dinner! Is it a problem?" – I looked him in the eyes with my over-confidence.

The money had stopped me from thinking properly.

"No! I'm really glad! I was just thinking that you would have a purpose behind." – His tone was flat.

"I do have!"

Jason was stunned.

"What is it?" – asked Jason.

"Remember what you said when you took me out of the Biology class? Tell me more about it! About what Paisley was about to say!"

It wasn't the thing I wanted to tell him. And it wasn't what he expected me to say either. I could tell how disappointed he was. He bowed his head down for a second and his face turned quite serious now.
