Being Next to You

Chapter 18: Chocolate Coffee blend with Whipped Cream

I..

Sidney Rose...

Is going after a tall lady named, France (I think..)

"Ah, France!--Wait here, I'll chase after her." And left.

I chased my breath, "Hey! France wait up! We are going to make a scene here!"

"WHY DID YOU FOLLOW ME KIDNEY!? ARE YOU SYMPATHIZING ME, WELL I DON'T NEED IT! AND WHAT'S WITH THAT WOMAN, TAMMY!" France riled all of a sudden in tears. "IS SHE ASKING FOR ATTENTION! AND RINA WAS THERE, ISN'T SHE ASHAMED? THAT GIRL IS MAKING MY BLOOD BOIL!"

I am dumb with girls. And there are no words I can say about her behavior.. I covered my face with the gorilla I won. But her emotions are clear like water but dishonest like Miss Theresa. They're like sisters.

"France, my name is Sidney not kidneys, and Tammy is too far away from Theresa. How did you mishear that?" I chuckled. "And aren't you and Miss Theresa are alike in some ways. You are both concerned about Rina despite that you are like chocolate and coffee."

"Don't you mean water and oil?" She wiped her tears off. But I corrected her, "Water and Oil will never merge together, but Coffee and Chocolate will do and it also taste great. And I feel that your relationship with Miss Theresa will end up like that. Then Rina will be the Whipped Cream on top that will make it a yummy treat."

"Bqqqut.. I just ran off like that.. Like one of the dramatic girls in some movie.. And I acted rude and impulsed in front of them. I am the one who's stupid but she is more foolish!" She responded, "I used to be on my own, and I didn't feel lonely but bored. As long as I have my headset I don't give a damn care about anyone until Rina approached me at class. She's usually absent minded, and an idiot when it comes with Julian. But I came to like her. Yet now, I'm scared that she won't be my friend anymore and Teresita and I can't be in good terms anymore.."

"Is that your worrying about?" I smiled, "Do you think that they're that kind of people who'll hold a grudge? They're the good kind of fools, and now I bet that Miss Theresa is now looking for you and wanted to apologize to you. And Rina as well."

"Here young lady!" Giving one bag of candies to France, "Delivery this to them, and speak up and apologized and I shall be on my way!" I saluted like an officer. "Where are you going?" She asked. I answered, I'm going home, I had a lot of fun today and won a lot of prizes, and this is enough for me. And I'm just the fourth party in the group in the first place."

"Say my thanks for Miss Theresa and Rina," I said my goodbyes and go on my way.

My role is done, thank goodness.. I'll leave the rest to all of you ladies. Please smile at the end..!

But maybe, I'll buy souvenirs for Julian, Jude, Romeo, Antonio, Charlie, Kevin and some of my siblings just before I leave..

And maybe for her as well.

************************************

(Rina and Theresa were worried about France's whereabouts, then France came back bringing the bag of candies with her.)

"France! We've been looking all over for you?" I worried, then Theresa marched up front to France and apologized with her loud and embarrassing voice.

"I am very sorry! I shouldn't have said that about you!"

France looked surprised and began to cry. Her eyes quickly swollen, and her face turned red as she tightly held the bag of candies.

"I- It's been a while since I acted this way and I'm not sure if I miss it or not. But it's my fault from the very beginning if I just controlled my emotions that time, nothing of this will ever happen..! But when you, Tiana, suggested that we'll all go together, I was relieved but scared and disappointed at the same time because I'll be with another person other than you and Silly!"
