Zenaida would always act awkward around Carl, eventhough he found her to be cute in that way.
Why isn't she trying to joke around with him and smile with him too as she is being with Roy?
Carl felt really upset about this matter in his heart.
Should he take the initiative to ask for Zenaida's phone number in the next time when they were to meet with each other?
Or
Should he ask her number from Roy.
Carl pondered over this matter for awhile and called out for Roy.
"Roy!!"
"Hmmm?? " Roy asked without looking at Carl.
" I want the phone number of Zenaida. " Carl blurted out in a cool voice.
After hearing the words of Carl, Roy immediately turned around his head and looked at Carl with a surprised look on his face.
Then, he asked from Carl " Did I hear it clearly?"
Carl said again in a very cool voice " Just send Zenaida's phone number to me "
Roy was surprised by the words of Carl again. This time, he confirmed that Carl was really asking for Zenaida's number.
Carl isn't the type to use his cell phone often. He doesn't even text with Roy that much either. It would be once in a while. Because of this, if Roy wanted to tell Carl about something, he would just call him right away without sending him messages.
Why is this guy suddenly asking for Zenaida's number?
What is he planning to do now?
He shouldn't always be suspicious about Carl's actions.
May be, he is just asking for it.
After shaking off his dubious thoughts away, Roy sent Zenaida's cell phone number to Carl.
Carl immediately read the message of Roy and he saved the number of Zenaida in to his contact list. Carl's contact list is only included few people and the number of contacts in there could be counted with the fingers of his hands.
At first, Carl saved the Zenaida's number as just Zenaida. Then, he thought for awhile and changed it to the name 'silly girl'.
Zenaida is a silly girl in Carl's eyes.
It is silly of her to being worry about him being angry at her and it is also silly for her to being worry about him being hungry.
She is indeed a silly one.
Carl proudly smiled at the nickname which he gave for Zenaida while putting away his phone in his desk locker.
*************
After hearing that Carl has eaten something before the class has begun, Zenaida also tore the package of the bun. She started to eat it in a fast speed while saying to Ava " I was really hungry earlier but I didn't eat anything because I thought that Carl hasn't eat anything either. "
" Has he eaten now?" Ava asked.
Zenaida smiled widely at Ava while saying " He has not only eaten the food which I gave him but also he has forgiven me too."
Ava said to Zenaida in a helpless manner " Well done!!"
Why is Zenaida being so happy by this kind of small thing?
Is it really a happy thing for her to know that Carl has accepted both of her apology and the food?
Zenaida is really like a child sometimes who is pleased by very small things in her life.
Ava doesn't have the capability to understand how she is feeling ever.
Zenaida excitedly asked from Ava again " Ava, I'm in a good mood today. So, what do you want to eat for tonight? Should we have a feast tonight?"
Ava smiled at her and said " I'm okay with having a feast but who is going to responsible for you after you become poor. I'm not going to take the responsibility at all."
Zenaida smiled at her and said " Okay!! Okay!! In order to not to become a poor person in a one night, we would just have one tasty meal for dinner."

"Matteo, how did you find money this fast to pay me back?" A man who was sitting besides Matteo asked.
Since Matteo didn't eat anything for the lunch, he came to eat at his friend's restaurant. He specially came this place to eat because he wanted to pay back the money which he has borrowed from his friend a few days ago.
"From my sister's daughter." Matteo casually said while focusing his whole attention on his meal.
" Isn't she an underage kid? How could she possibly give you any money?" Matteo's friend asked again.
"Yeah. She is still a high school student. There is a good friend of my brother in law and he is paying her a huge amount of money for her school and living expenses. " Matteo said.
" Did you know about this matter even before you volunteered yourself to be her guardian? I was wondering at that time why were you being so kind enough to not to send that kid to an orphanage. " His friend said.
" Of course, I knew about it from the beginning. I heard that friend of my brother in law talking with an another person while saying that he would pay all the expenses for Zenaida for the sake of his friend. I heard it before I volunteered myself to look after her." Matteo said.
" Of course. You aren't such a nice person to begin with" Matteo's friend commented to Matteo jokingly.
"Why would I drag myself in to unnecessary trouble as to look after a kid? I'm not crazy enough for that. If she isn't useful for me, I would definitely dump her right away. " Matteo said to his friend with a grin on his face.
His friend shook his head while mumbling in a small voice "This bastard is truly heartless. How could you even take advantage of a small girl? She is the daughter of your sister too."
