Our first class ended alright, but I still feel sad.
“Let’s take a lunch,” Monica asked. I nodded at her. I am shocked when Sunny sounded disapproving. What’s her problem?
As the three of us go to the cafeteria, I can see Maico and Zion laughing while Enzo plays with another girl.
"Tricia!come here." Zion’s face is lit up, so I can't help but to mirror his expression. Maico laughed at Sunny, so he is greeted with a scowl. Enzo’s naughtiness is interrupted when he saw us.
"Who is she?" Zion asked. Oh, right. He wasn’t around when they met her.
I was about to introduce her when Enzo talked.
"Monica right?" I did not open my mouth when Enzo did. Zion just nods his head and pulled me towards him.
"Sunny let’s sit together..." In the end, they sat together.
"Monica, sit here.." Enzo pulled a chair for her. I saw how Sunny looked at him questioningly.
"What do you want Tricia?" Zion said eagerly.
"I’ll order for you guys!" Enzo butted in.
"Wow dude! You’re so generous today?" Maico smirked at him. I glanced at Enzo, but he is looking at Monica.
"No its ok I'll pay." Monica reached for her wallet...
"I don't let girls pay for me.." I almost have goosebumps when Enzo speaks.
"Really Enzo? That’s why you always ask Tricia to pay for you?" Sunny said.
"Monica is different." Sunny shakes her head, and I couldn’t say anything. I looked sideways because I feel like I’m about to cry. Why do I feel like this? Why am I hurting?
"You’re right Enzo. Tricia is different. She' s special." No one talked. I feel better with what Zion said, but the feeling is still there...
"Order now Enzo..Make it fast.." Maico smiled awkwardly. Enzo went to the counter to order.
"Tricia Flavours later?" Zi asked me.
"Right sis. I miss Aunt’s ice cream." Sunny second the motion.
"I'll buy you another." Zi stood up even before I spoke.
The three guys accompanied us inside the class after we ate.
"Flavours later guys." Maico said, and I just nodded faintly.
"I’ll go with you Zion.." Sunny said.
"Me too dude. My car broke down." Maico added.
"What about you tricia? Wanna hitch?" I shook my head and faced Enzo who is now laughing witH Monica.
"Enzo I’ll go with you" Enzo looks like he is thinking.
"Sorry Pat. May you go with Zi? Monica is coming with me." I couldn’t talk. Zion keeps on shaking his head whereas Sunny is staring at nowhere.
"Sis cheer up.." Sunny tapped me, so I just smiled at him.
I don't want to think about it later. I don't want to think how Enzo rejected me today. I don't want to think that I'm really falling hard for him, and that feeling adds to my agony. Damn this day. .
