"Why do you want me so badly in the first place? They can pretty much do it on their own, don't you think?", I start the argument.
"They could indeed."
"So why do you need me?", I go on.
"Because we have now pretty much any kind of character, but yours is missing. And since you are a very good dancer, I want you.", she explaines calmly.
"As if that would be a good reason!", I counter.
"So you're good in dancing, huh?", one of the boys asks.
"No, I'm not and now I wish to go."
"You will stay definitely.", Xiang Xia argues.
"No. My job is starting soon, I don't have any time."
"Your job is here now. You don't need to go.", she tells.
"Great, but I don't want to work here.", I try to explain, but sadly without any success.
"But now you do.", she yells, suddenly loosing her calm and shutting the door loudly.
I stand there, starring at the door. It gets me so upset! I don't want to work here, why doesn't she get that in her non-existent-brain?
"Women these days.", someone murmurs while laying his arm on my shoulders.
I simply nod, not even hesitating. Wow, actually someone who thinks like me. Even through I still am a woman as well, but that might change now.
"So, well, my name's Horiacio. What's yours?"
I turn to him. My, is he near. It's the blonde guy with the green eyes. And an even weirder name!
"Kay.", I simply say.
"So Kay, let me introduce the rest.", he tells me, while turning us towards them (He sure is the talkative one in the group).
"This one", he points on a brown haired and eyed guy, "is Rocco."
"I know."
"You know him?", he looks at me then at Rocco.
"No, I just guessed earlier.", I explain.
"And this one.."
"Is Samuel, I know.", I say again, but explaining quickly after, "He told me."
"You know someone else as well?"
"You."
"What?"
"I know you."
"Wow, didn't think so, what's my name?", he asks sacastically while rolling his eyes, "This dude over there.."
"I can do it on my own! I'm Bency, 15, and we will be sharing a room later. Together with this idiot.", a black haired guy introduces himself, his ocean-blue eyes locking with mine. At the end he points at Horiacio.
"What? I'll share my room with you two?", I ask, thinking I didn't hear right. With guys? How can this woman do that to me? I'm going to kill her! Putting me in one room with two guys I don't even know, don't talk about trust when I am a little girl! And both of them look older than me, so this woman is dead!
"Yeah, basically.", Horiacio says as well and now I'm completely lost.
Then he continues introducing: "This is Jack, and last but not least Quentin."
Jack is, well who would have thought so, dark haired, but Quentin is the one with this white, blonde, whatever hair. And everyone has weird names!
Then my phone peeps. I've got a SMS:
"Hey Kuai Kaiwen, you're fired, you know? Boss just said so, because you didn't come. Well, I hope you're gonna be alright, but don't worry, in a short time we're all jobless. The cafe is closing in a few months."
"Thanks", I grid my teeth.
"What's up?", Samuel asks surprised.
"I'm fired, thanks to your stupid Xiang Xia."
"She did the same with me and Jack as well.", Horiacio says a little sad, "But now I have you guys and I'm really happy."
How can he be happy, when he's forced to do something he doesn't even want?
He hugs me again, but this time together with Samuel and he's storming to the other guys as well. They just turn away laughing while we crash to the ground. Thanks to you guys as well!
"Thank you very much, Horiacio, would you please stand up now?", I complain (And I have every right to do so, he's really heavy, but he's thin too, how does he manage that?).
But he just responds: "No, too lazy."
"Hey you're squeezing me to death!", I complain again.
"Yeah, me too!", Samuel joins in. At least one with the same opinion!
After Horiacio doesn't move one bit we look at each other and pull him up, so that we finally are free. Phew! At least!
We talk and do stupid things for quite a long time after that and it somehow really is fun. I'm surprised of myself how quick I was liking them. Later we go to the cafeteria and eat dinner together. It tasted really good and I just hope I don't have to pay for it. That would be expensive!
___
Here are very many people. Some of them talk with some of us, but Quentin and Samuel stay by my side.
"Don't you want to talk with your friends?", I ask after quite some time.
"We have each other, why should we have other friends?", Samuel says cold. I wouldn't have expected that from him, after all he's been the first to talk with me.
"Woah, what's up? You were the first one speaking with me!", I glance back. I want to see his reaction, something must be false on him.
"Yeah, we like you, you know? And the other ones in our group as well, but we like to have as few friends as possible.", he explains.
"Why?", I ask still not facing him but I narrow my eyes.
"You'll hurt your friends and they'll hurt you. So our friends should only be those people who would forgive us and whom we would forgive easily."
"That is right. You'll hurt the people you are with. I experienced the same, some time ago.", I nod understanding what he means. And he's right, but I trusted them, I would have forgiven them and I know they would have as well. But I didn't hurt them with words. I hurt them otherwise. And I am sorry, but they will never know. For that, it is too late now.
