"Why do you think Mr Rogers is calling for you?" Bella asked.
"I don't know but I guess it's about this scene I unknowingly created. Hahaha." She said and laughed it off.
They were heading to the cafeteria and as usual all eyes were on them, just that today was different. All eyes were on Gina and not on Bella.
"Gina.."
"Mmm.."
"Please dress like you used to. It seems no one's even looking at my direction anymore."
"Are you jealous?"
"Of course I'm jealous. No one's even giving me the attention I used to get just yesterday." She complained but it was obviously a joke.
"Just kidding, I want you to dress this way. I love the way all those girls who used to insult you are acting all flared up." She said.
"Didn't you say I should do what I love? Well, this dress up is only for today and never would I create another scene."
"So you're going back to becoming miss simple?" Bella asked and she nodded.
"I must admit, I love this version of you."
"Well, too bad because it's only for today." Gina said.
"Okay okay. I'm hungry. Let's hurry up."
"Yeah. I'm hungry too."
"I know that. I did not forget you're a foodie." She said and they laughed as they entered the school cafeteria.
As usual, all heads turned towards them with most people gasping, murmuring or whispering.
"It's Gina. She's looking pretty today."
"Did you see the car she drove to school today? I bet she's from a wealthy and powerful family."
"Of course, her family must be in par with the country's president."
"I bet she's more wealthy than my dad."
"That's right. Didn't you see the car she drove? It wouldn't be a surprise if she drove a Lamborghini."
"But she had been acting low-key. What happened today?"
"We don't know and it's a good thing she showed all of those girls who thinks they're the richest in the school. This is just like a bomb on their faces."
"I hopes she continues this way."
"I hope so too."
Bella smiled at the comments people were making. If only Gina would only agree and show these people who she was.
They went to the attendants to take their orders and a new set of gasp echoed the hall.
"Isn't she beautiful?" A guy said.
"She had been beautiful from the start. She just didn't show this attractive side of her. Maybe because she didn't want to cause attention."
"I agree with you."
....
"Your order please?"
"Spaghetti with tomato sauce and countless of meatballs. I also want orange fruit juice. And oh, I'll also love to take fruit salad. A little bit of shrimps in the spaghetti too." Gina said and Bella and all other people who heard her orders laughed out loud.
"Oh my, our goddess is such a foodie."
"Would she eat all of those?"
"She has a slim figure. With all of these foods, she's meant to be fat." That comment made Bella and everyone burst out in laughter.
Gina noticed their laughter and creased her brows. Huh? Why's everyone laughing? Are they laughing at me? She thought and pouted.
She wanted to ask Bella who was also laughing but she was taking her orders so she could only wait.
When she was done, she looked at Bella's tray and creased her brows. It was only ice cream and pizza.
"Would that be okay for you?" She asked and Bella chuckled.
"Of course, I'm not a foodie."
"Are you teasing me now?" Gina asked and the girl nodded.
"Well, I also want to get the pizza and ice cream too." Gina declared and the ones who heard her were suppressing their laughter. Even Bella didn't want to offend their goddess.
"Nope, this is enough. You're not allowed to eat much more than this remember?" Bella reminded in a low tone and she nodded.
They found a table with few boys on it so they headed there. "I should flirt right?" Gina asked.
"Yep, do what you want. Besides, you've never had a boyfriend. Those boys are cute and who knows....? Today's the last day, so I want you to have as much fun as you want." Bella said.
"I was just kidding, I was not going to flirt with anyone. I don't have that much courage like you do."
"Gina please can you dress up like this for the whole week? I'll do that too, pretty please?" Bella said as she blinked her eyes.
"Please..."
"Arghh....fine, it's just for this week and because I have classes throughout the week. I can't let my mom ruin everything." She said.
"But no bringing of Mercedes Benz or anything. You better fix your car, I'm sure you don't want to gather much attention." Bella warned.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll have someone fix it."
They reached the table and the three boys straightened their backs. Bella flashed the boy at the right side a seductive wink and he blushed. Her courage was what no girl in college could ever possess and everyone knew of her as the 'brave beauty'.
"Can we lend your table for today?" Gina asked and the boy beside her stood up to pull a chair and motioned for her to sit.
"Thank you." She said.
"No, a goddess shouldn't thank me. It's always my pleasure."
Bella on the other hand, sat beside the hot guy she winked at. They were really getting along and she would either blush or make the guy blush sometimes. Only Bella and all other college students except for Gina knew that these three boys were every girl's dreams and that was why Bella chose that table for them. Gina had always been oblivious to boys or anything relating to boys that Bella had started to get scared. But she actually said she wanted to flirt. It was obviously a joke but to Bella it was a good improvement.
Few girls were burning with jealousy.
"I can't believe she offered herself to them!"
"I had been working so hard to get their attention but they just didn't look my way. That girl's gonna pay!"
"I hated her from the start."
Many comments were being said but they didn't care less, they were just enjoying their meal.
"So what's the name?" Gina asked the guy who had been speaking with her.
"Troye Kell." He said.
"Troye....it's a nice name."
"Your name is much more." He said and she blushed.
"So....what department?" Troye asked.
"Music." She said and he smiled.
"Yours?"
"Engineering." He replied.
"That's really a nice course though."
"So do you have any plans on making music after graduating? Or you only want to be a song writer?" He asked.
"I had passion for music since I was a child. So I'm going to pursue my career. I'll write songs and also make tunes for them." She said.
"That's good to hear. Currently working on any song?"
"Nope, not yet." She said and started to munch her food.
The guy was so engrossed in her, eating her food that he didn't notice the way he was grinning wide.
In few minutes, her tray was empty and was left with only her juice and fruit salad.
"Do you eat this much?" He asked.
"Hahaha. I can't help it." She said.
Her many admirers saw her eat everything right in front of them and they couldn't help but whisper.
"Our college goddess is a glutton. I mean she finished all of those in just few minutes!"
"I wish I could be like her."
"She looks even cute when she's eating."
Gina heard the statements and she smiled. She stood up from her seat and caught everyone's attention.
"It's not my fault your goddess is a foodie. She can't help it. Haha." She said and a series of laughter echoed in the hall.
She sat back on her chair, listening to all of the comments.
"Our goddess is also funny and friendly."
"I love her!"
"I can't believe she actually responded to us."
"Is that her boyfriend? They look good together?"
"If you ask me, I'll say yes."
"I'm taking a picture, they're so cute!"
And thus, the cafeteria became a photo booth. With the blushing Gina and grinning Troye.
"I'm sure you know that you created a scene today." Troye said.
"I didn't know it would turn out this way. I should have known when I decided to drive my dad's car." She said.
"The car belongs to your dad?"
"Yes, my car broke down so I had to borrow my dad's car." She explained.
"I like you." He suddenly declared causing Elen to crease her brows.
"Huh? Like? Well, I mean most people liked me after what happened today so I don't really get you. Are you liking me because you now know of my status?" She asked.
"No, it's not because of your status or anything. It's because of your personality."
Personality? Can you please be more clear? Liking my personality means liking my status right? Troye, we just met and you're already talking of like...?
