Chapter 005

VIENNA'S POV It's lunch break now, but I will eat alone because Therese left the room immediately and went to the swimming club for meeting with the club officers. Then Michelle was also busy and she said she will eat at the student council. It's okay for me to eat alone, I'm used to it but I seem to be used to the presence of Therese and Michelle. I arranged my things and put them in my bag. Sebastian attended the class, I think their practice is over. "Vienna, come with us," Sandra said. She's kind and approachable but I don't like the presence of her friends. "No need Sandra, it's okay, and thank you," I replied and smiled at her. "Okay Vienna, see you around." And she left the room with her friends. I got up again but I suddenly gasped when I heard a loud noise come from a group of women outside the room. But Sebastian was here inside, how could that happen? "Vienna, there's someone who's looking for you out here," Lester said. Who is he referring to? But I just went out to look for it. But I don't know the person who is here. Who is he? Why is he looking for me? "Am I what you're looking for?" I asked that makes everyone shut down. What do they think that he's my boyfriend? But I didn't even notice Sebastian's presence, he was right next to me. I thought he would pass by but no, he stay that makes me surprised. "I'm Tine Alvarez, a 4th year Engineering student. Friend of your brother, now you know who I am." Is he a friend of my brother? But why only now do I seem to have met him? Is this my brother's revenge on me? That guy upset me. "Let's go, I'm hungry." And he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the room. It grabbed everyone's attention. What's the problem with this guy? I remove my hand from his grip but he doesn't want to let go. "Can you stop first? Hey! Could you stop?! I said, let me go!" I angrily said. He stopped and let go of my hand. Now, I wanted to slap him. "I can walk on my own okay? And I don't need you. Why are you pulling me? Are we close? You're just my brother's friend but I don't know you," I said, annoyed. But he didn't answer and he just looked at me. "I'm sorry, okay? I just want to get out of your room, because your female classmates are annoying. Your brother asked me for a favor to eat with you. Don't be mad, we're here already, and can you please just agree?" he replied. "Okay fine, but stay away from me." And I walked ahead of him but he followed until we reached the cafeteria. All the students looked at us when we entered together but I just ignore them. "I'll buy it, just find an empty table." I couldn't react because he left me to buy our lunch. I don't want to act out because I'm already hungry. I finally found an empty table and sat down when I reach it. After about 15 minutes, Tine already bought the food for us. He put it on the table, steak with rice and bottled water for me, and menudo with 3 rice and 2 bottled water for him. "I know what you're thinking." Did he read my mind? Shame! "Are you really hungry? Let's split the steak here, it's too big for me." I regret the way I approached him earlier. Then my brother asked him for a favor to accompany me. I divided the steak and put it on his plate. "It's too kind of you to give me this but thank you," he said shyly but I didn't answer and just ate. "After lunch do you have a practice?" I asked and he nodded in response. His mouth was full that's why he didn't answer. "Take it easy, I'm not going to take your food," I joked making him laugh. "Yes, next Friday is our game so we all practice," he replied when he swallowed what he was eating. "Who is your opponent?" I asked again. I don't know but I think I'm blabbering now. "Political Science," he replied shortly. So it's Sebastian's team? But why don't they seem to have a practice? "Hi, Tine." A group of women greeted him as they approached our table. They also looked at me but with scornful looks. Are they seniors? "I'm with someone, so leave," Tine answered without emotion. "Is she your girlfriend? It's just now that we saw her with you," a tall woman said. I just averted my eyes because I might have something else to say. "If I say she's my girlfriend, will you stop following me?" I suddenly looked at Tine when he said that. What does he mean? Is he teasing me? But he suddenly approached my direction while carrying his chair. Is this what I'm thinking, he will going to use me against this woman. I gasped when he suddenly put his arm around my shoulder and the group of women who's in front of us was shocked while looking at us. I nudged him several times but he just didn't seem to care. "Baby look at me." 'My God! Tine, what do you plan to do? I will kill you if you say anything wrong to them.' "Hey baby look at me," he whispered softly and gently touched my chin to face him. "I love you," he immediately said which surprised everyone especially me. I'm so nervous.. this time I'm dead. **** "Yiee, Vienna. I'm thrilled. If I was there in the cafeteria, I'd choke you." Now, I regret why I joined that guy. Everyone was talking about me because of what had happened earlier. The news spread everywhere even if it's just fake, damn! After that embarrassing scene, his fans never leave me alone. They asked questions about when we started dating or when we become lovers, others greeted me and they congratulated me but the others looked at me badly. It was as if I just wanted to ask the earth to swallow me out of embarrassment. "Stop it, Michelle. I'm going to pull your hair out of your head if you don't stop." She's with me now and she's been teasing me for a while. "HAHAHA friend, Tine is so handsome. He has white skin, he's friendly, tall, sporty, smooth and he has no pimples or scars." That's really what she noticed. But I want to pull her hair, she makes me pissed off. "VIENNA!!!!" Here she comes, no other than Therese. For sure, she will also tease me. When she came in our direction, she immediately walked over to me and put her arm around my shoulder. "What is the feeling of I love you by Tine Alvarez?" I rolled my eyes and removed her hand that was holding me. "No, I don't feel anything. The one I feel now, annoyed and angry because of what he did." I know that he just did that to stop those women earlier and it's so annoying 'cause that's what he said. "Didn't you even feel any romantic excitement? Tine is so handsome," Therese added. "Me? Romantic excitement?! In my dreams!" I answered, annoyed. When I see that guy again, I'll kill him. What kind of day is this? It's annoying and frustrating. My brother is right, I will cry. This is a great revenge for me and it's not funny.
