Chapter 026

"Vienna, are you okay? You've been looking there since earlier. Are you still thinking about the unknown person who texted you?" Therese said. We just finished our first class, I told them last night about the text, but that's not what I'm thinking now. "I'm fine Therese, I'm just sleepy," I replied just so she wouldn't ask any more questions. "By the way Vienna, maybe tomorrow I'll eat at my organization and maybe I won't be with you and Michelle." It's Wednesday tomorrow, I suddenly lost my mind about it. "It's fine Therese, maybe I'll stay at the Music Club tomorrow and it's my 1st day as a new member," I replied. "But how about you? Who can you eat with? You haven't been close to anyone there yet," she worriedly said. "It's okay Therese, don't worry about me." Because of our organizations, we can't meet the whole day. Why was it a whole day? "Vienna." I immediately looked at the door when someone called me. It was Faith and she smiled at me. 'Tine is here, looking for you," she added. Therese and I immediately looked at each other. I thought he was busy or maybe he was sulking at me. "Go to him outside," Therese said while smiling and I just stood up. My classmates teased me, led by Sandra together with her friends. When I left the room, I found him leaning against the wall and holding a paper bag. He also noticed my presence and he immediately smiled which surprised me. "What are you doing here? You still have class," I said. "I excused myself in the class, don't worry. Here, given by mom, it's your favorite so this morning she cooked it for you," he replied with a smile. His mom is kind but I can't remember her from my past. "Thank you for this, she shouldn't have to do it." "It's okay with her, eat that huh? Then eat your lunch too later. I'm leaving, I'll see you later bye," he said while patting my head. I just smile at him. I heard a loud shriek. Yeah it was none other than my classmates. I was also able to go back inside the room, others were wondering what was inside of it but I had no idea what was inside. "Tine is so sweet, it's like he's courting you in that situation," Therese said while teasing me. I took the food inside of the paper bag and put it on the seat next to me. There are two sets of food, one is carbonara and the other is rice with menudo. Tine's mom knew my favorite food and I just smiled. "Vienna, it looks delicious, Tine cooked it?" Therese said while smiling. "No, his mom cooked it and he just send it here." "His mom is kind, so does that mean you've already met her? Have you been to their house?" I covered her mouth, maybe what else will she ask next and everyone could hear it. "You didn't tell us about that, Vienna. You're keeping a secret." Yes, I didn't even tell them that I had once been to Tine's house. Why should I tell them? If they will just tease me. "Because- .." I couldn't finish what I was going to say next when Sebastian suddenly stood up and his guitar accidentally hit the chair where the food was placed. It fell to the floor and made a noise. Almost everyone inside was silent and staring at the food on the floor. I clenched both my hands in annoyance and anger. It was as if he just didn't do anything and he just passed me by. "Aren't you even going to apologize?" I said as I stood up which makes him stop. He turned to me but he just looked at me. "Vienna, Sebastian didn't mean to do that," Britt said suddenly. "Shut up Britt! I'm not talking to you," I replied angrily but I didn't look at him and just stared at Sebastian. "Vienna, Britt is right, it's just food and you can buy it in the cafeteria," Liezel cut in. I turned to her and looked at her. I don't like people who butt in even if they are not involved in the conversation. "You too shut up! Don't butt in. Yes, it's just food and I can buy as much as I can and maybe I'll treat you. But I appreciate things, not like you," I said angrily. It's just now I answered her like this but hell I care! She was running out of patience. "Don't be rude Sebastian, you'll just leave suddenly as if you didn't do anything. There are a lot who admire you but you are like that." I was held by Therese's arm but I did not stop. I don't like this anymore, they want to see me being a demon. I restrain myself but they are running out of patience. "If you don't even know how to value or appreciate things, be good and don't ruin anything." I could no longer hold back my tears. I picked up the food left on the floor as well as the two containers. I was no longer able to wipe away my tears and just let them flow down my cheek. "Vienna, let me help you." "It's okay, Therese, I can do it." After I picked up all the clutter. I took a tissue from my bag and wiped the floor. Everyone was just looking at me, especially Sebastian, damn him! I got up and went in front of him but he wasn't looking at me. He should just be ashamed of what he did. He's annoying. "Try to appreciate things so you can feel how I feel now." Then I leave the room. He deserves everything that I have said so he could realize what he did. I can't believe him, what happened to that man? I don't understand him anymore. Damn him!
