Chapter 10 - chapter 10: Who's your crush

They both sat down and everyone started ordering for different kinds of food. Anita moved over to where her classmates were sitting cause they were not sitting together

"Hi Benita and Gloria!" said Annie softly

"Happy birthday once again." replied Benita joyfully

"You're looking so beautiful on your dress." said Gloria admirably

"Thanks Hun!" Anita hugged them tenderly

"Before I forget Annie, who's that girl  over there?" asked Gloria inquiring

"She's my friend!" replied Anita firmly

"Okay she's pretty like you!" said Benita smiled

"I know right." chuckled Anita  "Hope you guys have ordered some food!" asked Anita cheerfully

"I don't know why I followed you to sit down here!" said Benita angrily

"Am sorry Benita, I just don't want Cecilia trouble. You know that girl's a witch and I can't bear sitting face to her." said Gloria bitterly

"Omg! Why are you guys scared of Cecilia. She can't do anything, only to scream period!" said Annie chuckled

"Who even invited her to your birthday?" asked Benita

"Senior Alfred!" Gloria quickly cut in before Annie could respond

"How did you know?" surprised Annie

"It's obvious! Why is she even forcing herself to him. She's shameless!" said Gloria

"Gloria!!!" Shouted both Annie and Benita

"Yes!" replied Gloria annoyed

Cece heard the noise and she turned to their direction. Anita turned her face sideways and she saw Cece glaring at her. Anita quickly turned to her friends and said "Excuse me girls I will be right back, make sure you order anything you want. Eat and enjoy yourself!" said Annie hurriedly and she walked over to the other table

"Olivia, is that your name?" asked Henry suddenly

Olivia nodded her head in affirmative.

"I could see you have not tasted any drinks since you got here." said Henry friendly "Or are you shy?" asked Fred, interested in the new girl

"No!" replied Olivia quietly

"Feel free to take anything. Remember it's your friend's birthday!" grinned Henry

"I don't take alcohol!" said Olivia finally.

Everyone was amazed.

"It's not alcohol it's wine Olivia!" entered Anita "It is apple wine." said Annie, she showed it to her

"I thought as much, her dressing is different from her attitude."  said Cece sarcastically.

"Here's it!" Annie poured Olivia a little quantity for her

"I don't want thanks!" replied Olivia

"Taste it yourself!" said Annie persuaded her

"Local girl!' said Cece, she laughed mockery

"Omg, Cece!" said Alfred grinning at Cece and he agreed with Cece that Olivia was just naive

"That's enough!" said Anita bittered. She was not pleased with Cece taunting behavior.

Ben poured a little quantity of wine into a glass cup for himself he drank little and poured another drink for Olivia and handed it to Olivia.

"Olivia taste it and see it's not alcohol." he said urging her

Olivia collected it and hesitated before drinking it.

"Uhmn, it tasted nice."  said Olivia aloud.

"That's it dear, we don't drink alcohol and we're still young for that, understood?" said Anita.

"Yeah." agreed Olivia

"Let's play a game." said Henry immediately 

"Okay." said Alfred looking directly at her sister if she agreed with Henry

"Yes let it comes."  said Anita agreed.

"We all have to pick a partner!" declared Henry

"What?" exclaimed Alfred.

"Yes!" he replied.

"I choose Olivia." said Ben quickly.

And he stood up to sat besides Olivia.

"I choose Fred!" said Cece.

"That left the both of us." said Anita grinning at Henry.

"Yes, birthday girl." replied Henry chuckled. "I will spin the bottle and whosoever it spin at, will ask a question from any group," said Henry, he faced them directly. "I mean it's a chance to ask any questions you've been wanting to ask. Since this is Anita's birthday, you're lucky to get your answer and if the answer is not correct, you will ask the opponent to drink a glass of wine." he said smiling.

"What?" shouted Olivia.

"You can't get drunk." replied Henry chuckled.

"Half a glass is okay." said Ben concerned for Olivia.

"Alright! Let the game begins." said Henry. Everyone sat up properly and watched Henry spun the bottle

Henry spun the bottle, and it landed at his own direction. Everyone shouted and laughed.

"I think we should ask a question, or what do you think?" asked Henry from Anita.

Anita nodded and said "You can go ahead." she said "I think we should start from Cece and Fred." Anita turned to her brother.

"Okay," said Henry. "My questions goes to Fred, what if something bad happened and we're asked to save only one person from here...Nothing bad will happen to anyone." Everyone shouted amen.

"You all know this is a game?" said Henry

"You can ask your question, Henry and why are you superstition?" replied Alfred irritated.

"Okay, who'll you save Fred?" he asked him.

Cecilia was looking at Fred, hopefully he would called her name. Fred looked around and smiled.

"Time is going please." said Anita looking at Fred hastily.

"I will save Anita." replied Fred looking at her sister warm-hearted.

Everyone was silent and Anita was amazed.

"Really?" Henry quickly recomposition himself.

"Yes." replied Fred confidently.

"I believe him, I know he would do that." Agreed Anita "Awesome! I love you bro." said Anita happily.

"I love you sis." replied Fred smiled

"Whoa! He love her sister." said Olivia amazed Fred could like someone and she thought to herself "Behind that Stony face, he has a soft heart!" said Olivia inwardly

"It's you guys turn to spin the bottle." declared Henry directly at Fred and Cece.

"Let me spin the bottle." said Cece abruptly. She spun the bottle and it landed at Ben's direction.

"Ben and Olivia, ask your question." said Anita excited.

"Who is your crush here, Henry?" asked Ben.

Henry was caught off guard, and didn't know what to say at the moment. Anita likes Henry, and she thought Henry likes her too. Ben knew his sister likes Henry and wanted to be sure Henry does too. That was why he asked the question. Ben had seen Henry's picture on her sister dressing table. He asked her about the picture, she denied and said it was nothing. She begged Ben not to let anyone knows about it, most especially Henry too. Unknowingly to everyone, Henry likes Cece secretly and he knew Fred didn't like Cece and yet Cece likes Fred that made it difficult for Henry to express his feelings to Cece.

"Henry please answer the question." said Anita beckoning to him.

"Dude! Is your mouth tame." grinned Fred.

"No!" Henry laughed and smirked at Fred back

"Answer the question please." said Fred impatient

"My crush is Cece!" said Henry finally.

Everyone was silent. Cece was shocked and Anita was devastated.

"If I heard you correctly, you like me?" asked Cece shocked.

"Yes!" replied Henry

"Whoa!" said Fred astonished at his friend confession

"Alright, it's your turn to spin the bottle, Anita." said Ben softly at her sister. He felt sorry for her sister. And that will made her stopped having feelings for Henry since she knew Henry likes someone else.

"Okay!" said Anita, she brightened up and didn't want anything to spoiled her day.

She spun the bottle and it landed at Cece's direction. "Whoa it's time for me to ask any questions. Or what do you think Fred?" asked Cece happily, she turned to Fred.

"Go on." replied Fred softly
