Amnesia

CHAPTER 13

I kept staring at them until Cassie called me out.

"Aurora! What are you doing, exactly?" She was using her kind of thick English Accent to wake me up from my little daydream(well night). Ugh.

"What?" I shot her back with the same accent.

"What? How dare you be 'what'ing me, young lady?" She pouted.

"Whating. Is that even a word Miss Brien?" I chuckled but still continued with the battle of accents.

"Stop with the accent you're saying it the wrong way!" She rummaged through whatever was on the table as if she was trying to find something. I furrowed my eyebrows and observed her actions.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for some—oh! Here it is." She pulled out her palm from the table cloth and showed me her middle finger. What a nice attitude, young lady.

"Thanks." I shot back.

"Where is our food? I'm starving." She held her stomach with her right hand and started to rub it in a circular motion.

"Relax you monster. The food will be served, soon."

"Shut up."

As soon as our small fight ended, the waiter who took our order just now served our food and and we started to dig in without saying anything but Cassie started to choke as soon as she took her first bite of her lasagna. I knew she thought I was going to help her. But instead, I laughed. Quite heartily.

She rolled her eyes at me as I was still laughing at her pain and started to help myself by wiping the tears that streamed down on my face. It's not that funny actually but it is because the lasagna actually got stucked in her esophagus which made her face cringe. And I swear, it was the best two minutes of my life.

"Who's possibly talking behind my back?" Cassie said after she coughed and wiped her mouth of some lasagna that stuck on her face.

"I don't know. Maybe haters." I still laughed but my voice was slowing down.

"Ugh. I am too popular." I just stared at her statement. It's true actually. Despite her being like this. All messed up and socializing with me. She got the hearts of the whole boys population in the school. Her social media is through the roof and one of her pictures got almost five thousand likes once. She is so popular that all the girls in my school rejected her to be in their group. Or vice versa...

"What now?" She asked me with her sparkling deep blue eyes. Honestly, she's beautiful. Perfect curve body, blonde girl, deep blue eyes and a good character. Anyone who isn't gay would fall for this type of girl.

"Aurora! Stop staring at me and eat your pasta, it's getting cold." Oh, did I mention if she gets overexcited or over-hungry or over-mad or over-anything that existed in this world, she could never resist doing that accent cause yeah she's using it right now.

"Sorry, I'm having some me time." I smiled sheepishly and apologized then continued eating my food.

"Me time? Why do you spend your me time with yourself when you can have girls time?" She raised one of her eyebrows.

"Smooth." I praised.

"I know. Like my latte. " she said that statement along with the waiter that served our beverages. I ordered chocolate milk shake while Cassie... well latte.

"Wow. That's real smooth." She praised the coffee that she drank.

"I know." I said and continued on chewing my food.

We continued eating without sparing another word. Maybe because the food was so good or maybe its just that I didn't eat anything other that strawberry yogurt that I ate at lunch. I don't think I even got a bite of it. James just accidentally asked the whole of his crew to pour water or whatever liquid on me. That's the worst so far and I'm not even mad and didn't cry in front of him.

Quite proud of myself if you ask me. Truthfully, I am mad. I wanna cry in front of him but I don't want to let him know I'm hurting because of it. Whenever I cry, I know he'll use it as an advantage to get me again. I want to scream at his face. Throwing all those filthy words right at his face must be fun, right? But he's there with his friends and crew. They're gonna back him up. I know one day, he's going to love me again just like he did back then. I can feel it. Be positive, Roe.

We finished eating and sat there for about ten minutes before getting up to the counter to pay the food.

"Who are you texting? Boyfriend?" I ask Cassie when she smiled while looking at her phone.

She looks up and hands me some cash while mouthing "my treat" and grinning at me.

"I'm texting one of my boy space friend." She rolls her eyes and chuckles.

"Ohh, who is it?" As we went outside, I pulled her hand to sit at one of my favourite branch in the park in front of the Mario's.

"James." Casually she said.

James? James Cammison? No way. It couldn't be. But in the cafeteria early today, they seem to know each other well. Very well.

"Not from our school. Chill." She gave me a nervous laugh before keeping her phone in her pocket and turning her face at me.

"So, about the tuition thingy." Cassie started.

"Yeah, 'bout that. I was wondering maybe I can go to your house or you can go to mine or we can sit here and talk about the things you don't understand or I gave you some cheats to use in exams?"

"Wow. I'd love that actually. Thank you."

"Alright. So are we agree on this, Miss Brien?" I held out my hand to shake hers.

"Yes. Yes, we do, Miss Daisine. Thank you so much."

And we both laughed before Cassie asked me something again.

"Okay, okay. I need to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"You and James. You guys know each other?"

I stopped smiling.
