This silvered necklace with plain flat circled pendant where the "forever" engraved seems to be familiar. This is ridiculous.
"Are you going to stare at that bracelet the whole time or I will eat your lunch"
I immediately took the tray away from him. I ordered a burger with fries and an orange juice.
"You have your own food don't eat mine"
He pouted. I kept on staring on this bracelet. I have seen this somewhere. He took it away to see the necklace.
"Donald! What are you doing? Give it back to me."
He holds and look at it.
"Let me see. Forever? Dude, what's this?"
Everyone stares us because his voice is loud as the microphone. I don't want to make a scene. I don't like attention.
"Give me that"
He raised his arms for me not to reach it, I'm not bragging, but I'm taller than him. He's somewhat 176 centimeters while I was 182 centimeters. I quickly snatched it from him. But someone from behind me took it away.
"Oh, what is this? A necklace"
He chuckles. He looked at it and reads
"Forever? Are you two, gays?"
He and his friends burst into laugh. When I'm about to get it, his three friends covered him. They are buffed and bigger than me.
"Gulliver, give it back to me?"
They laugh again. Everyone is staring us and I hate it. I looked at Donald and he mouthed "sorry"
"Mr. Thomas!"
Everyone stopped and looked at the man walking from behind. He and his friends stand straight and act like they did not do anything.
"Oh, Mr. Peyton how are you doing today?"
He stands between us. He looks smaller than us but he's very intimidating.
"What's going on here?"
He looked at him and to me.
"Is Mr. Thomas is bothering you again?"
"Ah.." I saw them caressing their fists and looked at me like they are threatening me behind Mr. Peyton.
"Mr. Peyton we are not bothering him. Infact,"
His friends nodded to support to what he's saying. He went to me and put his arms around my shoulders. Fake!
"I was about to give this necklace to him because he left this in our room. Right?"
And looked at me. Call me a coward, but I want this to stop so I lied.
"Ye-y.. Yes Mr. Peyton. I forgot this necklace in our room."
Mr. Peyton looks unconvinced. I grabbed the necklace.
"Ah, Gulliver thank you for giving this back to me."
We faked a smile. Yuck!
"See! Mr. Peyton, I am not bothering him. We are actually friends."
I nodded.
"Good to know that, but if ever Mr. Thomas bothers you, just let me know. Okay, have a great lunch everyone."
I really hate Gulliver's smile. So fake. When Mr. Payton sees that we are okay, he left us.
"Bye Mr. Payton"
He waited for Mr. Payton to be gone, then looked at me.
"You're lucky today, come on boys"
And then they finally left. Donald went to me.
"Why didn't you tell Mr. Payton the truth so they will get the proper punishment they deserved."
"Forget it."
I sat down and looked at the necklace.
"What's with the necklace Cole? And you kept on thinking?"
I took a deep breath.
"I know this is weird, but I think I have seen this before?"
"Maybe in the store? Tv? Or somewhere. Come on man there are necklaces that look the same as that."
"I know, but why am I feeling this way?"
He sat down.
"Where did you get that?"
"I went to the bookstore the other day and I accidentally meet again the girl I met at the library last time."
He cut me off.
"Wa-wait a second, who is this girl? And why didn't you tell me anything?"
"Can you please lower down your voice."
Then he realized that everyone is staring at him because he's really over reacting and has the loudest voice here in the cafeteria.
"Her name is Heidi kidman and I forgot to tell you about the library thing."
"Heidi what?"
"Gomez, do you know her"
Aside from being my best friend Donald Becker is known for being the greatest gossiper. He knows every person in this university even their secrets.
"Heidi Kidman? I know that she's under the BS Psych faculty, but aside from that I know nothing about her."
I am surprised that he doesn't know much about her.
"Ahh. Yeah, I know who's her best friend. Kate Yu the sole heiress of Yu Corporation and she's kinda cute."
I don't know Heidi Kidman nor Kate Yu.
"Anyway, We accidentally met again at the bookstore the other day and it's so embarrassing."
He moved his chair a bit closer.
"Tell me what happened?"
"I was looking for books, then I unconsciously blocked her way again."
"Again?"
"Yes, it's something happened when we met at the library. Then, I stepped aside to give way to her, but she suddenly moved closer to me like close to my face so I closed my eyes, then when I opened my eyes, she's already gone and nowhere to be found. Then, I stepped onto this necklace. I didn't get the chance to find the owner, cause Aunt Zild is waiting outside."
He sat properly and crossed his arms.
"Ah, okay. So what are we going to do with that?"
I just shrugged my shoulder.
"Oh, maybe this is Heidi's necklace don't you think?"
Then I realized maybe this is hers or maybe not.
"You're right. Maybe this is hers but I can not ask her or even see her."
"Why?"
"Because of what happened. Jeez. That's so embarrassing. But we must go to the bookstore maybe the owner have asked the store about this."
"What if you found the owner? What will you do next?"
He's right. I don't know what's the next thing to do.
"I don't know. It's really odd that I'm feeling this way. But all I know is we must find the owner of this necklace so we'll know if there is something to do with me or this is just an ordinary necklace. So, are you going with me?"
"Okay okay, bu before that, we must eat lunch first."
He took my tray and ate my burger.
"Hey!"
I don't have the choice but to eat what's left in the tray. Luckily, we don't have class in Philosophy. We have the whole afternoon to get there.
