It was a boy that looked about my age. He came over and sat down next to John.
"So you're the girl my buddy here has a cru-" John had punched him in the arm, but it was too late, I knew what he was about to say. I thought that was sweet and I suppressed a giggle.
"So," He coughed "My name is Robbert."
"My name's Rita." I said with a little wave.
"John here wouldn't stop talking about you" Robbert laughed. The moment those words left Robbert's mouth I saw John's cheeks turn a light shade of pink.
That time I let my giggle escape my lips. I couldn't help it! He was just too cute!
"Why did you really come over here?" John asked "I know it wasn't just to embarrass me."
"Well," Robbert turned to face John and started whispering something.
I couldn't help myself, I was curious as to what they were talking about. So I leaned over a bit closer and listened.
"It's about your dad," Robbert whispered "He says he wants to see you today after school."
"No," John said sternly "I thought we already talked about this. Stop visiting him!"
"I know, I know. But if I don't do what he says then he'll have his men come after us!"
"I don't care, let them come after us. I won't be the one to do his dirty work anymore."
Robbert just shook his head in what seemed to be disappointment or fright "No, we aren't tough enough to take on all his men. They'll tear us to pieces! Listen, I don't like doing his dirty work either, but we have no choice!"
"Yes!" John started off "We d-"
Suddenly a teacher whom I didn't recognize came walking up and asked John and Robbert for a favor. Well, it was more of a requirement, not a request.
Then John and Robbert both got up and bid me farwell and I watched at they walked away.
I leaned back and thought about what I had just heard.
