"You basically called me fat," I stated, looking at him bored but still stuffing my mouth with ice cream.

"Well, that was not what I meant, but whatever," he replied, scratching his brow with his index finger.

"Look, I don't care if I'm fat or not, or whether I will be fat or not, I love eating. And not even I can stop myself from eating," I said, stuffing my mouth with now my third large cup of chocolate ice cream.

"You for a tiny looking girl, sure eat a lot. I don't even know where you even put it all in," Levi said, shaking his head.

"Shut up," I glared him, "Hold on, why are we discussing my eating habits?"

"Because too much ice cream is bad for health," he said for the third time today.

"Do I look like I care? It's my body and it's my business what I do with my body. So shush, and let me eat in peace," I said and continued eating.

He didn't reply. He just shook his head with a faint smile on his face and kept looking at me while I ate. Every once a while looking around and taking a sip from his red juice, but every after a while, his eyes seem to find me.

Somehow our eyes always seem to find each other.

He was probably thinking I was crazy. Maybe I was. Did I care? Nope. This is what I am, if people can't accept me just like I am, they can go fuck themselves.

I've tried changing myself enough to make my mother like me. But whatever I did was not enough. Apparently, her focus never left Tony and Nisa to pay enough attention to me.

"I'm done," I said getting up and throwing the trash in the bin. I have to stop my mind wander to her. It always brings up bitter memories.

"Done? You sure you don't want one more?" He teased

"Oh, I'm allowed one more?" I played along,

"Well, it's your body, your business. Who am I to say anything?" He threw my words back at me, with that smirk of his on his face.

Damn, boy. Stop being so fucking handsome. I might pounce on you.

"Shut up," I laughed and followed him out. "Back to school?" I asked as we buckled our seatbelts on.

"Back to school," he sighed

We drove in silence and we were back in the parking lot of the school in no time. We entered the building just as the bell rang for the last class. The hallway filled with students in no time.

"Hey, Levi," I called him just as we were about to part ways, "Thank you,"

"Don't mention it," he shrugged it off, not knowing what a huge favor he did to me today. Just like that.

"And thank you for the ice cream too, I really needed that," I said smiling

"Of course you needed that ice cream. You can pay me back by cooking me one of your mean breakfasts some time," he winked and walked away before I could reply.

Why does he keep walking away every single time before I could say a word?!

And how does he know about my breakfasts? Surely, Tony must have said something to him.

That's crazy. Before yesterday, I never once heard Levi's name out of Tony's mouth and now suddenly they are best buddies that Levi even knows I make the best breakfast ever.

Not that I'm bragging. Those are Tony's exact words every time I make breakfast.
