Chereads / Burnt / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

North has nothing to do in his 6 months vacation and he has no plans on where to go or travel. 'Maybe I should take summer classes?' Having that thought makes him satisfied since he craves a lot of knowledge. He wants to know a lot of things which his bosses already know. It pisses him off whenever they say he's still innocent and he will know it when he gets older.

'BUT I'M ALREADY 22! I'm OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW SOME THINGS, WHY won't THEY TELL ME?'

So he booked a summer class online. 'I hope this will be effective'

~~

But after taking 1 month of summer class. He didn't expect that what he learned in there are just the same when he was high school and college. He was so pissed that he quit it.

'Do they teach the same thing?!'

He wants some enlightenment. He wants to know more about things that he couldn't even describe. He was greedy to seek knowledge. To ease his mind he went to a mall, he didn't even know why not until he found an ice cream parlor so he went there. All he can see is pink. Everywhere is pink. There were Hello Kitty designs, Pony, and some other cute kinds of stuff.

' is this an ice cream parlor? Or a playground?'. All he sees are mostly students from High School, take note girls. 'well yeah it's very obvious in this shop's theme'

"Hi sir, may I take your order? What flavor do you want?"

Honestly, he doesn't like ice cream, but he just felt like eating since he's in a bad mood. And this was his first time eating one. So he wonders what does it taste like.

"2 Chocolate flavors miss and can you add some sprinkles and chocolate chips? You can add it in a huge cup"

"large size ma'am?"

"Yes large size"

North was surprised by this girl who talked beside him. 'Who is she?'. He stared at the girl for a while. He remembers her face, she was the one from the Swamp. Now that he had a closer look at her, he didn't even think she was this beautiful. Nice shape of thin lips, her big eyes, and her pointy nose.

"Stop staring at me mister, I might melt" Then yes, he woke up to reality.

"Uh...you..you were...."

"Glad you remember me, nice seeing you too"

The girl didn't face him because she was looking at the counter where the ice cream she ordered was made. But she wore a smile. She looked so beautiful, she was like an angel in his eyes. So pure and innocent. Is that how my bosses see me? But the thing is I don't smile.

"Uh...you ordered two large ice cream, are you with someone?"

He asked since it's very large and he can't even think that she can eat it all. Based on what you see to her, she's not that type to eat a lot because she's too skinny.

"Nope, actually it's for both of us. Don't worry it's my treat"

"Wait what? But I didn't ask you?"

"Well, think of it as a Thanksgiving treat"

"Why?"

"Gosh, why do you ask such a lot of questions...." She said those while chuckling at him. Even her voice sounds like a song that you would even listen to like forever.

"Ma'am here is your order"

North took the tray because it seemed so heavy for the girl to carry.

"Oh, thanks ahaha..where are we gonna sit?"

She roamed her eyes around the shop when she saw a small spot but good for two.

"There! Let's go"

North just followed the girl and when they arrived at the spot the girl started eating the ice cream. While North is staring blankly at the food.

"Hey, why are you staring at that?"

"Uh....no nothing..."

The girl looked at him and smiled. "Is it your first time eating those?"

He was shocked at what she said. How did she know??

"How did I know? Your face says it all"

She can even read minds? Is she a ghost?

"Oh, come on don't look at me like that. Try to eat, it will not kill you ahahaha, or do you want me to feed you?"

So without any further ado, North started tasting the ice cream. 'So this is how it tastes like...'

"Tasted good right?"

North just nodded busy eating the ice cream. He was so immersed in eating that he didn't even notice the girl was already staring at him.

'Thank you for saving me mister' she thought

North didn't know that this girl keeps on following him. After that day, the girl believes when someone is gonna come that means it's her savior. And that person is this person right in front of her.

' I was in the middle of ending my life when you came, it was like an unexpected event that you just popped out from nowhere' she thought to herself

"Yes, the world is unfair but I guess it's not that bad now"

North looked at her with a confused face.

"What did you just say? The world is unfair?"

"Well yeah, it is...it does..."

"Why do you think so?"

"I think you don't live with the same world as mine, you don't know anything"

Right after hearing that North felt a little upset. What else doesn't he know???? What else do I need to know??
