After the girls ordered their food and sat waiting for their token number to be called,
Tara asked ,"Don't you think we ordered a little too much?"
Ruby,"girl, you might see these abs but for that we workout when it comes to food we are a bunch of gluttons"
Maxie,"That's true guys but today is our first day here,Don't we have an image to maintain and-"
"oh my gosh i never thought you'd fall so low Maxie max....Did you just think of betraying foood as in burgers fried nuggets and milshakes for something as fillial as ...image!!"exclaimed Jody loudly and dramatically with a hand on her heart earning giggles from everyone, including the girls from the next table
"ah its just thatwe are not in mon arou right now or else maxie woulve ordered double the dishes we've ordered now" replied lily
"wallah habibi how can i ditch my bibi " said maxie grinning crazily
"what's mon arou?" asked tara to noone in specific
but that was followed by their token number to be called so jody maxie and lily ran to the counter
"Mon Arou is a small cafe in the colony we grew up. We have a special seat there...made many memories and trust me the food and drinks there are heaven but....we haven't gone there since three years as a group..The owner's son is of our age and our senior and is practically in love with maxie who also has a crush on him but never accepts. After what happened three years ago, we swore that we won't date, even me lol..never thought i'd do this although i always am guy crazy and flirt around but i haven't dated since three years aswell" sighed Ruby.
"what happened three years ago? why do y'all bring that up always when Lily is not around?"
"you'll know bbg,patience Today is the first day of us knowing you, and this is a big deal for us... It'll take time ..Try not to mention this in front of lily" asked Ruby by this time the duo saw the three girls struggling with five trays of food and rushed to them
After they settled and started eating tara was observing all the girls which didnt go unnoticed by jody who said,"T gurl i know i'm hot but i ride for the other team" earning gigles from everyone including T
"i never... i always saw you four from a distance, you guys never let anyone around you, i always worshiped you from a distance but now that i'm sitting talking to you and eating with you.. it feels unreal.."replied Tara fixing her glasses.
"uh so you know us?"
"how"
"please don't tell me ....you were stanning Penn in YOU and are gonna attac. I'm ready to run but let me eat first pls the burger is worth dying tho" said Jody giving puppy eyes to T
Everyone laughed at this and continued eating
"hey you bibn't bell bus" said Jody with her mouth full of fries.
"yeah you asked me to remind you to tell me how you knew me.. is this related?"s\asked Lily
"yep...wanna hear a story?"
"Always"
"YASS"
"Spill the tea gurll"
"start already"
replied the girls
"aright so.. remember nearly three and a half years ago there was a huge party"
"which one...the frat or the management hunt after party?" asked lily
"MH after party... so i was in the same middle school u guys went but i was the invisible kind so noone actually noticed me but i remember you guys from cheer-leading clubs; sports clubs and the council.. but i knew lily a little more because my little brother josh has always had a crush on Christy as she saved him from getting bullied once so he used to come play football with her in the villa masion colony."
"ahh you knew us all along then ,we aren't cannibalists you could've said hi boo" said Jody earning glared from Maxie and Lily
T smiled and continued ,"back to the story, i used to drop and pick josh to christy's villa and i saw y'all along with the guys....if you're okay with it should i continue i totally don't mind stopping here" asked T looking concerned
everyone looked at lily who gave a small smile and said,"Yeah yeah please it's all in the past..."
"okay so i saw the nine of you partying and i've always seen and looked upto the way lily dresses so...as i came from the buisness background too.. i am here. and i tried dressing like her which was a fail"this earned gasps from everyone in the group except Lily who asked her to continue
"In the MH after party even the investors came and at that day i wore the blazer without a shirt or bra to get that confident look but then i felt the buttons getting opened so i used my hair clips and got very terrified so i ran to search for Lily because she wore the similar style and would've known better on what to do but i was late and distracted-"
"what do you mean"asked maxie
"I met the COO of the Arubhex corp. he was old and reeked of alcohol but did show an interest in my CV and i thought he was genuinely interested in my CV but since it was an after-party and everyone was practically drunk or high he asked me to meet in the meeting room after 20 minutes...i went to the washroom put a matte lipstick on and put on only two buttons of the blazer, i felt myself i felt attractive but being a nobody half my life i felt insecure too..so i drank alcohol for the first time to look and be confidant..as soon as i went there the room got locked and after discussing he almost gave me a job but then he asked me to....asked me to show him what i got and tried to force himself on me but then, Lily saved me, she came out of the room inside the meeting room and protec...that i ...and i..i was so ashamed...ashamed of my idol seeing me like that, that ,i covered my face with my file and ran to the washroom and was inside the stall till the party ended. After i came out it was around 3 am, i found fresh clothes a key and a note which said,you're safe now and take care along with an Advil for my hangover.... she had locked the door and given me the spare key...she saved me..and when on the night of Collin ball i saw her..she was running with christy and...a bag...that's my story on how i know you guys"
"well whoa.. this was unexpected"
"how come i didn't know about this"
"so...it was.. you....i'm glad i saved you that day."
"Anyway guys now it's time to meet the batch and our seniors are you excited.Cuz i am"said Ruby
and as everyone got up T exclaimed "wait!i have something to tell you lily"
"what?"
"Your ....uhm...Zanviel....he is... is here" said tara
"WHAT"
"Are u kidding me"
"holy crap"
"i know i saw him"replied lily calmly
"and??"
"And nothing we didn't acknowledge each other.Do me a favor.never bring our past up or talk about him to me especially in the uni okay?"
a chorus of okays was heard and on the way to the class lily's phone had a message:
"so we didn't acknowledge each other..interesting"
which made lily's heart beat fast and her grip on maxie's hand tightened earning a concerned look to which she smiled and shook her head
the text's words haunted her
