"Today is October 1..." I whisper not expecting that she heard it
"Yes, today is October 1. Why? Something happen this day?" She curiously ask and it was too late for me to get back what I said
She's now leaning closer to me. She's curious again. My fault, I know. I shouldn't say something that could wake her curiosity because she won't stop. I shouldn't mention October phs.
"Nothing " I replied shortly with dullness in my voice to ease her curiosity
"I don't believe you Cami! I know you too well. You won't do something that is not important or meaningful to you" she accused me
Raising my eyebrow I look at her with forehead creased. Say what? I crossed my arm and tilted my head.
"And how can you say that? Do you really even know me?" I challenge her but she just smile showing her perfect set of teeth like she usually do everytime we end up in this kind of conversation
I must say that she really know how to handle my temper.
"You're acting grumpy because you don't want me to ask. Am I right?" She teased
What? !
"I am really right! You can't lie to me Cami dear " she actively added with a giggle
She even grab my hand and sway. I tried to pulled it away from her but she won't let me. What's with her? She's acting like a kid again. And hate tolerating this kind of attitude of her.
She's being touchy and it's really annoying.
"Ella Marie! Will you stop?" I exclaimed a little louder gaining an audience from those students around us
She pouted her lips but I just frown ignoring those stares. Ella's face is now making different kinds of reaction trying to subside my annoyance. She looks like an idiot while pouting her lips, it doesn't look complementing at all so I'm wondering why she keep on doing that.
"You're so grouchy. At least be kind to me" she hissed.
"Who cares?" I retorted back
"And aren't you busy? Why are you still here? you supposed to be running around the school ground as you follow those students who's acting boss and superior" I added
"That's rude Cam! I'm not a slave!" she defensively utter
"Whatever"
I crossed my arm again trying to find comfort on the chair. The time is running slowly that's why I'm stuck with her. I want to meet Miss Fuentes already, but what can I do?
"Anyway Cam, let's drop that topic and let's talk something else. You're hiding something to me" she said accusing me with 'something ' that I didn't know
My forehead creased.
"What are you talking about?"
I was taken a back when she move her chair closer to me. She's now sitting beside me, her eyes are full of curiosity and questions. My heart skip a beat because of her stare. I know what will happen next. Surely, she won't stop asking me unless she's satisfied with my answer.
"Move away El" I warned her but she shake her head
"Ella Marie" I said seriously
She just laughed as I called her with her name Ella Marie. I mentally sighed, she's crazy really. Ah! I can't stand being with her this long.
"Alci" she whisper
My eyes narrowed again as I heard her mention his name again. For real? She's still can't move on with that Seviro?
"You lied to me Cam! You said you two don't know each other, when it fact you guys are getting a long together"
"What?!" I burst out in disbelief
Say what?! My eyes widened hearing her making conclusion with no valid reason. She grinned on me while trying to conceal her smile and keep on pulling my arm.
"What the hell Ella! Let go! You're pissing me off" I complain
I tried my best to remove her hold on me but she's like a freaking bubble gum!. I wanted to kick her but I'm controlling myself.
"Tell it to me, come on. Tell me how did you two meet. I'm freaking curious Cam" she said sounding like a kid
I harshly pulled my arm from her but she just giggle ignoring my glares. I immediately move a bit farther from her to give enoughed distance between us. She's too close to me and it's irritating that she keep on pulling my arm.
"We don't know each other. And will you please stay where you are? Stop moving close to me" I cry out as she attempted to move closer to me again
She pouted her lips and I sighed in relief. Gosh! She's stressing me with her childish act. I move a little again and I sit comfortably before I grabbed the bottled water on the table. I suddenly get thirsty.
"You're lying Cam"
I rolled my eyes as I heard her accusing tone. I tilted my head and glance at her.
"It's not like, I'll force you to believe me. Believe what you want" I casually reply and crossed my arm
I honestly don't care if she accuse me or whatsoever.
"You're so mean Cami! Don't you know that everyone is gossiping about you. They said that you and Alci had a 'thing' which they called"
She even quoted and emphasize the word 'thing' with her slight raised eyebrow. My eyes narrowed and I roamed my eyes around the cafeteria. Really? A thing with that Seviro Castaldi? I didn't notice that I was on a very controversial issue. Note the sarscam please.
"I didn't heard anything" I mumbled not giving interest with the topic
"That's better I guess, I'm sure you also don't want to heard them too" she seconded
I smile as I glance at her, she's making face as if she's annoyed but she's not looking at me. I shrugged my shoulder, she's acting like a friend again and I don't like that.
"Just let them be"
"People loves making gossip, that's one of their happiness " I simply replied
"So, you two really didn't know each other? " she make sure again
I mentally sighed. She's such a pain in the ass. She keep on asking question. She's like a boy version of Seviro Castaldi. They were both annoying.
"No" I said shortly in controlled voice
"But he's always waiting outside the school gate. Is he courting you?" She follow up
Should I ask her where did she get that? Nah, that's not necessary. Of course she would know.
"He's bored with his life, that's why" I answer plainly
