Blind Date with Annoying Billionaire

Chapter 5 - Revenge

Stephanie's POV

On the first day of classes, there was not much to do. It's all about introductions, syllabus, rules, and so forth.

So, students enjoying their chitchats and getting to know each other moments. When the bell rings for lunchtime everybody was excited to go outside the classroom. Raine and I were classmates in English class, so no problem about having lunch together after this subject. We exited the English class hastily to go to the canteen.

"Hey, I miss the Palabok." Said Raine.

"Me, too." She replied. A Palabok is a cooked noodle with dried fish, chicharon, creamy palabok sauce with shrimps, young/spring onions. One of the favorite snack/noodle meals of Filipino.

When we came inside the canteen it was crowded. "Oh, this is why I don't like our lunchtime to be exactly 12nn. It is fully loaded with students." I pouted my lips while looking at an empty table.

"Over there! There is an empty table. Come on, hurry!" Raine tugged my arms to go to the left side corner of the canteen when she saw an empty table she was talking about.

We sat crossing each other.

"Ok. I will be the first to order just stay here." Raine said then she put her binder on the table.

"Ok, but take my order, too. Will you? Just Palabok, Lemon ice tea, and gingerbread, please." Stephanie said.

"Ok. Just watch my bag and my things." Raine's said after getting her wallet from her bag. I nodded. Raine walked away to buy our food.

I crossed my arms and humming not to feel boredom. I watched Raine going to the array of food when suddenly I got a glimpse of a guy that molested me last week. I frowned.

He was on a third line from Raine. I don't know why he looked in my direction, maybe he felt my stare, I instantly look down pretending not seen him. I got my bag and took my iPhone and earphone. I played music of Britney Spears's 'Oooppppss I Did It Again' just to get away my attention from him. I don't want him to think that I got a crush on him, men were idiots, I murmured. Hmp, when they see women look at them they think they have a crush on them. Pathetic. Especially that nerd maniac! I thought. I felt my body trembling from anger slowly rising, remembering what happened last week.

Raine's POV

After fifteen minutes I came back to our table with food and drinks.

"Yes! It's Palabok." Delighted, Stephanie helped me to put the food on our table. She put away the earphone turned off the music of her iPhone and put them inside her bag. We happily started to eat our food when suddenly we heard a guy's voice.

" Can I take this seat?" We both looked on our sideways to look who's the guy was. I saw Stephanie's eyes went wide in my peripheral vision.

My face was expressionless. I don't know what to say. We both hung our food in our mouths. My eyes blinked and nodded.

I felt a kicked on my foot by Stephanie and caught my attention and her eyes looked at me conveyed a meaning. I tried to read her message in her eyes. Oh, my God! My eyes grow wider when I picked up what she meant that she doesn't want this man to be with our table. I was wondering why but it was too late to retreat. The man sat beside Stephanie and me, "Thank you." And glance sideways to Stephanie.

It seems interesting to see how Stephanie will handle this man. A small smile appeared on my lips playfully. I chewed my food slowly and my intrigued eyes landed on my best friend's face.

Why she doesn't like this man on their table? I thought. Suddenly, the conversation that Steph shared with me last time flashback on my memory and I gasped in horror! Oh! I think I knew now! I thought. Looking at Stephanie's behavior. Her face almost buried burned to her plate and silently ate as fast as she could, seems she was in a food marathon. Oh, Well.

Alfredo's POV

It was lunchtime so it's crowded here at the canteen but my stomach was shouting for food so I have no choice. I went straight to the pile of students in the food array. Since I was alone, maybe I could share a sit with other students' table since all tables were fully occupied.

I picked a tray. When I was near to cashier, third from the fiery red hair girl with a headband, I felt someone staring at me. So I tried to look in the direction of who it was. I saw a lady with dark brown hair. Can't see her. I removed my eyeglasses to wipe them and put them back on my eyes to see clearly but, alas! Her head was down. Looking on the ground, I guess.

" What is your order?" Ask the old lady to me when it was my turn.

" One cup of rice, beef caldereta, and ube jam, please! And oh! Bottled water." I said. I got my wallet in my pocket and pick up $2 to pay for my order. The old woman gave me a change and put it in my side pocket. After the crew put all my orders in a tray, I pick it up turned around to search for a seat for me.

I was standing for a while looking for an available seat. I saw one at the corner with two ladies. The one who has fiery red hair in a line a while ago and the one who was looking on the ground.

" Can I take this seat?" I asked them. They both looked at me. My heart flutters and giddy when I saw my beautiful nymph. Oh, my! How lucky I am! I thought when I saw her face.

The other girl's face was expressionless but she nodded.

That's the cue, I sat beside the lady that makes my heart flutter. I hope I can have her name but I don't know what to say or how do I start with a conversation with her. I was wondering who was the lady across her. I started to eat my food. I noticed that both of them did not say anything, maybe I was wrong to think that they are friends. I frowned when I observed that they look like having a food marathon. They are amazingly eating their food super fast. I just wondering if they chewed their food properly.

I knew our first meeting was sucked last time but I hope she didn't mind it and will accept my apologies. I tried to start the conversation with her, " Hi! U-uhm, I'm transferee here. My name is Alfredo. Alfredo Cordova. What's yours?" I asked her in a friendly manner and smile. They both stopped eating. The girl with fiery red hair gave me a deadpan looked. And the beautiful nymph beside me squinted her eyes.

" Do you want to die? Why asking me? Did you forget what did you do to me last time?" She said with anger in her voice.

"Hey, Uhm. I didn't mean to do that. I sincerely apologized. It's not my fault..." I said defending myself.

"Hmp! What did you say? You didn't mean it?" The girl beside me hissed.

"Tell that to the marines!" She added. I felt like there's a lump in my throat.

"I- I didn't mean it, I swear! It's not me." I stammered.

" Who did you fool, huh!" The fiery red hair girl said.

"I-I'm telling the truth! I -I swear!"

The fiery red hair girl stand up to get her orange drinks and poured them on my head. The cold made my body shivered. And all the eyes on other tables were on us. It's a shame really and embarrassing especially when you did nothing wrong but accused.

"Serves you right!" My nymph girl hissed at my ear before walked away with the fiery red girl! Oh, now I know. They are friends. I said to myself and shook my head. I got my towels on my back and dried my hair. My white uniform was stained. Perks of that fiery red hair orange drink.

Feeling embarrassed, I sighed deeply and finished my food fast. It's horrible. It was hard to choke the food but I managed not to look at the people surrounding me, eyeing me with displeasure.
