Nothing is happening yet, but I know right away that the outcome of our meeting will not be good, especially now that I am with my cousins.
"Hi, Ygrette." He greeted my cousin kindly. "I see that you're still with your girlfriend. That's her, right? She's been with you for a long time? She's very loyal." Smile at me and grin at the same time.
My cousins heard that so their expressions changed. I just held my breath again. I was about to pull them out when Ate Leia suddenly spoke.
My God! I don't want any more trouble.
"What did you just say?" Sister Leia said seriously to Eunice.
"Oh, you're with your cousins, Ygrette."
"Are you deaf? I asked you, what did you just say?" Ate Leia kept repeating so Eunice was surprised.
"Is Ygrette with her cousins?" Eunice repeated again and again, not sure if the answer she told Sister Leia was correct.
"Yes, Ygrette is with her cousins. But you said something else. What is it again? The one before that. Oh right, I remembered it! Alalay? Care to tell me who is the Alalay that you're talking about? " Now he has no emotion asking Eunice.
"Yeah? Isn't Iya your ala-" Eunice didn't finish what she was going to say because suddenly Kiel arrived with Josh and Brian.
I know the shock on their faces because even I was surprised by their presence. Damn! Why did I go to the mall again?
In the Mall too,
why did we meet you here?
"Eunice. What are you doing?" The man asked as he approached the woman.
I saw that his straight face changed and became innocent that you thought was very kind and didn't insult before. Acting is her thing, really.
"Hello, Iya." Josh greeted me with a small smile on his lips so I just nodded and smiled.
"Hey He!" Brian greeted me when he saw me so as I did to Joshua I did the same to him.
Ate Jamie gasped so we all stared at her.
"You can change your expression, right? You can be an actor." He said to Eunice with a smile.
"OMG? You're Margot the Model, right? Also a Monteclaro? I'm your fan! It's embarrassing but I'll try to do that in the future." Eunice said so kindly that I shook my head.
Ygrette laughed softly but she just coughed to suppress her laughter and not to be noticed.
"See? You're good at acting. Also, who are you to judge other people?" He turned to look at me before speaking again. "I've lost the desire to shop at this shop. Let's go." He said as he walked out. The two children followed.
Ate Leia put her arms around me and said loudly, "Oh, Ariya my lovely cousin, come on. Nothing should destroy the bond between our cousins."
I just dragged Ate Leia out because I was still shocked by what she said before we left the shop. I couldn't even look back to see the reaction of the four, but I know they were as surprised as I was.
I didn't expect Ate Leia to say that either. I thought he wouldn't mention it because Sister Jamie didn't mention it before it came out.
"Who is the girl?" Sister Leia's Ygrette asked me defiantly. Ygrette even looked at me as if asking for help. Because of what Eunice said earlier, Ygrette knew for sure that this was one of my bullies in Junior High.
"Ah, that's our schoolmate from Junior High." I just said.
"Do you know that's what he calls and treats Ariya, Ygrette?" Because of Ate Jamie's question, Ygrette was surprised and immediately shook her head.
"No! I didn't know that's how he thinks of Iya." He even defends himself because he is right.
"You do not know?" After that, Ate Leia turned her gaze towards me, which made me nervous. "I heard you transferred? Is that one of the reasons why you moved? Be honest, Ariya. Are you being bullied?"
I was about to shake my head when Ygrette suddenly spoke.
"Sister Leia..." Ygrette said softly to Sister Leia as she still held her arms.
"God? Am I right? There were three of you with Ariya in your school but none of you stood up to help him?" Now he was looking at Ygrette who was bowing.
"A-Sister." I called him softly.
I saw Ate Jamie and Jazziel's pitiful looks on me. Arissa, on the other hand, was stunned and couldn't believe what she was hearing.
I just held my breath.
"Sister Leia. Please. Ygrette doesn't know anything. Besides, that's over. I'm happy at my new school. I thought we were here to bond?"
Sister Leia took a deep breath before looking at him. "You owe us an explanation. I won't let it pass. You will tell us with the others what you don't like and what you like." So I just nodded.
I guess I can tell them that, right?
