Kelvin didn't even glance once at Dave , he just pick up his food and went to sit on a seat that few feet away form Dave.
Dave frowned.
Why the fuck is he doing this? He usually sits a feet away from him and not far away, if he has done something wrong he should just tell him and stop all this silly act.
" Wolah" Rihanna voice brought Dave out of his thought.
Diverting his attention to Rihanna, he looked at the table and saw varieties of food.
Assembling an array of delectable dishes on the table. She carefully arranged a colorful salad bursting with crisp greens and vibrant veggies, alongside a steaming pot of hearty soup, its aroma wafting through the air. Next, she added a platter of freshly baked bread rolls, golden and inviting. Completing the spread, Rihanna placed a selection of decadent desserts, each a sweet temptation waiting to be indulged. He never knew his school sells this kind of food.
Turning to Dave with an encouraging grin, Rihanna gestured towards the feast before them.
"Hey, let's dig in! Today's a celebration of friendship and good food. Forget about your worries for now and savor the flavors of life with me," she said, her voice filled with genuine warmth and compassion.
Dave couldn't help but be drawn in by Rihanna's infectious enthusiasm. Despite his earlier melancholy, he found himself smiling in return as he reached for a plate, eager to partake in the feast laid out before them. With each bite, the tension melted away, replaced by the simple joy of shared moments and delicious food, thanks to the thoughtful efforts of a caring friend.
While Kelvin on the other hand glance in Dave's direction every few minutes and a smile lit up on his face when he saw that Dave was eating happily.
Few Hours Later
It already closing hour, Dave and Rihanna got out of class after having the last lecture, they bid theirself goodbye and was about to enter their car when...
" Dave!"
" Dave!!"
" Dave!!!!"
He was shocked when he heard his name being called out so loud be a group of boys coming towards them.
Rihanna frowned as she looked at them
" Who are those?" She asked Dave confused
" Oh! I forgot to tell you, they are the ones who kept me company during freshers night after you ditched me to do some 'work' " he Snort
" Really?! Don't be like that Dave, I didn't ditched you" she defended
" Really? If not for them, I'm just gonna sit down there like a fool" he said and that made Rihanna shook her head.
" Yo dude, wassup?" Jordan greeted throwing his arm around Dave's shoulder.
" Wassup Dave" Alex greeted with a hand shake.
" How've you been?" Jake and Ryan also greeted.
" I'm good and you? "
" We're also fine, perfectly fine" Ryan winked giving Dave a thumbs up which made him giggle.
" We wanted to come see you during lunch, but our PR lecturer was just so crazy with his lecture, he didn't even let us eat lunch" Jake complained and that made all of them laugh.
" Those lecturer can be crazy sometimes" Dave said.
" Hello, I'm standing here" Rihanna reminded and that was when they noticed there was a girl with them.
" ... "
" ... "
" ..."
Silence.
"Hello!! Why are you staring at me like that?" Rihanna asked when the boys diverted their attention to her blinking at her like a mannequin.
" Okay okay, keep the tension down." Dave disrupted the stupid strange tension that suddenly grew between them.
" Guys, this is my best friend. Her name's Rihanna" He cut the awkwardness
" Ohhhhhhh" They all said together like a fool.
" I thought she's your girlfriend" Ryan said scanning Rihanna from head to toe.
"What with you, do you have eyes disorder?" Rihanna asked Ryan.
" You got mouth mm" Ryan sucked in his lower lip angrily.
" Come on guys, let's not fight, she's Dave friend that means she's part of us now." Jordan said.
" Sorry for the misunderstanding, let properly introduce ourselves" Jordan added.
" This is Jake" he pointed at Jake and he gave her a hand shake
" This is Alex" he introduced and Alex also gave her a hand shake.
" This is Ryan" he introduced and that made Rihanna eyed Ryan disdainfully.
" And i myself, I'm Jordan" he introduced with a hand shake.
" Okay guys, we're all good now, no grudges no fight. Okay?" Dave asked
" Okay" They all replied back with a thumbs up except from Rihanna.
" Come on Rihanna don't keep grudges, we're all friends" Dave shook her gently.
" Come on riha, we're all friends like Dave said, let us be friends" Jordan said urging Ryan to give her a hand shake.
Looking at Ryan on more time, Rihanna accepted his handshake and that made all of them cheers.
" Yes!!!, Now no p* anymore" Alex happily said.
P stands for Problem.
" Yes, before i forget give us your phone number" Jordan said.
" We wanted to call you during weekend but unfortunately we didn't have you number" Alex added
" Oh! Sorry about that" Dave apologize and when they brought out there phone, he called his number for them.
" Okay, we will see tomorrow. Ah yes about tomorrow, we're throwing a small party at my house, will you come?" Jordan asked
" Yes sure, what time?" Dave asked
" It after school, from four o'clock till the next morning" jake replied.
"You can bring riha too" Jordan told Dave.
" Will you come riha?" Jordan asked
" Yeah sure, I will" she replied.
" Okay then, we have to go. We need to start preparing things for the party form today" Jordan told Dave.
" Should we come with you guys? We might be of a little help" Dave asked.
" No, there's no need, I don't want you to work you ass off." Jordan said and they all laughed.
" So what do you mean? I'm not strong or what?" Dave asked playful
" No that not what I mean, it just that... It just that.... " Jordan prolonged and that made Dave hit him playfully which made everyone laugh again.
" Okay guys, we will see each other tomorrow" Jordan said and they all bid each other goodbye.
When Dave was about to enter his car, he looked around and didn't see Kelvin's car in the parking lot and that made his mood change again.
He didn't even bother to wait. Mtcheeew.
