It would be wrong to say that Rosy hated Cesar, she didn't hate him nor did she care about him. But she saw him getting bullied by the cool guys and because she wanted to intricate in their group, she bullied Cesar right back. It had made her cool, she has become the diva of her small little group and everyone liked her, she got what she wanted but after bullying Cesar for so long she has completely forgotten why she started bullying him.
Now it was more like waltzing to her favourite punching bag and taking her anger out on him rather than just wanting to be cool and today her mood was so bad that she just didn't want to punch this punching bag, she wanted to tear it apart.
She flicked her hair back and then a cruel smile curled on her lips and then she looked at Andrew who was sitting on the bench together with his friends from the soccer club. "Let's do this," she said to her friend as she took out her cell phone and messaged something to Andrew before striding towards Cesar who was standing near the cafeteria aisle looking at the various options that he could select from.
Cesar never had enough money much less the courage to eat in the cafeteria but today, he decided to break his usual habit of eating behind the school's building and came to the school's cafeteria. Even though the things that were listed here were all more expensive than he thought they would be but at least they were a bit less expensive than the things sold in the marketplace.
'I just need to eat my meal and get out of here,' Cesar thought, he was never the one who would attract attention from the people around him, he was more and less like a perfect wall flower and he was content being one as well. He didn't need the attention of others, he just needed to finish school and get into a better college such that he will be able to help his mother a little.
That was why even though he was getting bullied he never fought back because he has long learned from his experience that fighting back will only result in broken bones and his mother and sister getting tormented even more harsher. Mr Richardson taught him a thorough lesson months ago.
So, he has suppressed his angry young man persona and just started to float along with the others, he will be fine. He was sure that he would be all right——
" Hey Cesar, whatcha doing here?" He was still thinking about what he wanted to get but then suddenly a rather pretty face popped into his sight and Cesar jumped slightly as he looked around and was surprised to find that because of Rosy who for reasons unbeknownst came to find him everyone was looking at him.
" Ro...Rosy what ..what do you want?" He cursed himself for stuttering like that but he was a teen boy all right, even though Rosy was one of his bullies, she was really pretty and she was also the one girl who has helped him when he came to this school at the starting, Cesar knew that Rosy was not as bad as others, she was in fact rather nice but under the influence of others, she became what she was now.
And she was also someone upon whom Cesar had a teeny tiny crush.
" I just saw that you came to the cafeteria, so I came to take look… what you were doing here?" She asked with a smile that made him dizzy.
Ah, was Rosy .. his crush really talking to him right now? Cesar rapidly blinked his eyes before licking his lips as he answered, " I...I was just looking at what I can eat…"
" Oh, and what do you want to eat?" She asked with another dazzling smile that made him stunned and silly as he stupidly pointed at the counter where the cafeteria staff have placed a container of meatballs and spaghetti.
Rosy looked in the direction he was pointing at and her smile turned even wide as she said, " Oh you were going to eat that, then let me help you…"
Help him? Cesar didn't even comprehend what she said when a huge lump came flying in his direction and with a splat, it smacked him right on the face.
For a second he was too shocked to speak but as he raised his hand and touched the gooey, wriggly spaghetti that was sticking to the side of his face, he just realised what Rosy meant by helping him.
" Food fight!" A scream tore past his behind as someone sent a small pack of yoghurt flying at him and before Cesar knew what was happening, he was almost toppled by the huge amount of food that was thrown at him. He looked at the jeering faces that were aiming at him, Rosy's contemptuous and victorious face as she looked at him and then at Andrew's shocked and stunned face that seemed to be a heavy contrast with the others.
Cesar covered his face as he tried to rush past the food that was flying at him from all over the place, he knew that the workers won't help him after all he was nothing but a poor boy who had no one to back him up, unlike those rich brats who were aiming at him.
With his face covered he rushed past the crowd and didn't even see where he was going which would explain why he knocked into a wall of flesh and almost fell down. Cesar raised his head and flinched when his gaze met with William. If he was not wrong then William was one of Rosy's admirers, oh great now he was done.
" Where are you going?" With his build like that of a professional wrestler, William blocked his path and motioned his followers to catch hold of Cesar's arms. " Rosy worked so hard for you, are you going to leave without eating?" And then he pointed at the food that was splattered all over the floor, did this bastard just ask him to eat the food off the floor?
