the genius' first love

"WAAHHH!" I was stunned by what I saw. We were in the canteen and just in front of the counter trying to collect our meals.

"Xhem what happened?" Huzey rushed to my side when he heard me scream. "Are you hurt?" He examined every inch of me to see if I got any open wounds.

"Xhem? What's wrong? " My coach also approached me to check me out.

"WAAHHH!" I screamed again.

"Xhem? Stop it! Just tell us what's wrong!" Ziggy worriedly suggested when he also couldn't figure out what's wrong with me. "Coach, I think we need to bring her again to the clinic."

"WAAH—".

PAAACK!

A loud snap was heard when Mr. Gem hit my head with a newspaper he found somewhere. He could've sensed that I was acting silly again.

"Coach ouch! That hurts!" I stepped back and frowned. I immediately covered my head with my hand, afraid of being hit again by him.

"Why don't you tell us what's wrong instead of screaming loudly? Tell us now or I'll hit you again with these!" He said with glaring eyes. There was no annoyance in his gaze, but I could tell that he was worried with my demeanors.

"Look!" I pointed to the plates displayed in the counter. "The dessert! They have strawberry cakes for dessert!" I almost screamed in delight. I couldn't believe that the canteen was serving strawberry cakes for desserts. I was so excited and I started to salivate. I couldn't wait to have one!

PAAACK!

A loud snap was heard again. It was Ziggy who hit me with the newspaper this time.

"What's that for? " I asked him with glaring eyes. "You are so ungentle with me, Ziggy boy. Who told you to hit girls like that?" I added without withdrawing my eyes.

"You made us worry over such dessert! Just because of that strawberry cake, I almost thought of carrying you to the clinic just now." He said, trying to hold his annoyance over me.

"It's not just a simple dessert. It's a strawberry cake! Anything to do with strawberries are the greatest dish anyone can serve!" I said with my chin up and my hands on my waist.

"You two should stop now. We are about to eat dinner." That was Huzey trying to stop our nonsense argument. "No more nasty games." He said as he looked at me.

I decided to retreat and kept quiet when I saw Huzey in a serious mood. I went to collect my meal on the counter and followed the boys to the only empty table in the canteen. As we sat down to eat, Mr. Gem's phone rang. He excused himself over dinner and came back a minute after hurriedly.

"You two, come with me." He pointed out to the boys. "There is something wrong with your costumes, so the designer called me. We must meet her right now, this is an emergency. "

The boys stood up from their seats without questions. I believe they were heading to the next building where most of the costumes were made.

"Xhem, you stay here to watch over the food. We will be back in about fifteen minutes to finish our dinner." Coach added as he glanced at me.

"Will you be okay here by yourself?" Huzey asked me as they were about to leave.

Munch. Munch. Munch.

My mouth was filled with strawberry cake, so I just nodded in response. As soon as they left, I buried myself on the dessert. It was too delicious that I was able to finish a big slice right away.

"Yummy. Hmmm. I want more," I said to myself. I looked at the plates on the next chair beside me and saw Huzey's slice of strawberry cake. Since I badly wanted more, I decided to eat the boy's share of cake. Anyways, they always let me have their share when it comes to food with strawberries in it. They know how big my appetite is when it comes to strawberries.
