Wilted Frenzy

Chapter 32

Lisa Pov-

I walked with the others to Yang's suggested place she wanted to eat at one of the unassuming huts set up in the fairgrounds stringed with paper lanterns with a sign overhead saying "A Simple Wok".

Everybody sits at the stools outside, ready to order. Wait a minute don't I know that guy from the donut shop?

Yang: I'll have a bowl of the regular, please.

The shopkeeper passes a bowl to Yang as Ruby looks at it with wide eyes.

Ruby: Oohhh... I'll take the same.

The guy slides the large bowl of noodles in front of her, as she clasps her hands in excitement

Weiss: Do you have anything with a low-salt ...?

A large bowl of regular noodles instantly slides in front of her instead

Weiss: Um... okay...

Instead of saying anything, Blake merely gives a nod and smile to the Shopkeep, who returns the gesture as he rushes through one door of his shop and comes out the other to leave a large bowl of noodles topped with fish in front of her. Blake's eyes light up as she drools over her order. The shopkeeper then looks at me.

Lisa: I'll take something with pork and put some of this in their.

I take out a jar with tape covering some of my favorite hot sauce and give him some of the money I stole to him. He looks at studying it.

Lisa: I'll also take it to go.

He nods and goes to the back and makes it and gave me the container of hot sauce back.

Weiss looks strangely at me, she gladly offers her Schnee Dust Company credit card to the Shopkeep.

Yang: Aw, Weiss! What's the occasion!?

Weiss: Consider it thanks for sending me to the doubles round. Although I wanted to pay for you to An.

I shrug my shoulders when suddenly her joy is ruined when the card is flung back at her, and the annoyed Shopkeep points to his register as it beeps declined.

Weiss: What?! How can my card be declined? I was barely into my monthly allowance!

Suddenly the shopkeeper took everyone's bowls except mine since I already paid for mine as I put the container of my food away.

Blake:Nooo!! Lisa Help is out.

Lisa: Are really asking me for money.

She looks down sad as I raise my brow.

Lisa: Please don't tell me you didn't bring money to eat.

Blake: No I have money.

Yang: Same here.

The all took out some Lien and gave it to the shopkeeper as he gives them back the food. The only one that didn't have any money was Weiss.

Lisa: Well isn't this unexpected. The rich girl has no money.

She covers her face in embarrassment as I had a swell idea pop in my head.

Lisa: Hey I'm  willing to pay for you if you eat some of my hot sauce.

Weiss: I cant take money from you.

Lisa: Don't think of it in a bad way. You just need to take a spoon full of my hot sauce and then I pay you with food.

I smile innocently even though no one can see my face.

Weiss: Well.....it cant be that bad. It kind of looks like the mild hot sauce in stores it cant be that be that bad.
