After they finished eating, Vivian finally explained to Ken the main reason she invited him for lunch.
"Listen up, I've heard that a number of students have presented a case to the student council board so as to expell Nucho from school but I intend to prevent that." said Vivian curtly.
What Vivian said took Ken by surprise, how could she possibly support and help out the same person who made her first day of school a living hell.
"Why do you want to do that and you know that won't be easy much less possible." pointed out Ken.
"Yes am aware of that, Nucho's dispicable behavior and foolish non-matured attitude puts him at high risk of being expelled. I guess some people are really that pathetic." snapped Vivian.
"That's cold, don't you have any sympathy?" Ken asked.
"Would it be sympathetic keep it from being true."
"Well I guess you are right about that, so that's why you even invited me for lunch. " Ken said disdainfully.
"Since you've grasped that, you can guess what next."
"I would rather not."
"I hope you enjoyed your meal. An extravagant meal like that doesn't come free. Even an idiot could expect to provide something in return" said Vivian as she tactfully whipped her mouth with her napkin.
"And don't think I've forgiven you for conspiring with Lola that other day in the cafeteria in false pretenses, that was fal play."
"That's not cool." said Ken dishearteningly.
"If you want to make it up to me, then you will have to work with me."
"What is it that you possibly want me to do?" Ken asked disdainfully.
Vivian explained to Ken that on her way to school she overheard the conversation of the principle and Nucho's father. She suspects it had something to do with the increasing number of students disappearing suddenly. Whatever they were talking about seemed pretty bad.
Nucho's father conversation with the principle, made Vivian to recall what Nucho told her at the beach about his father's shady illegal underground corrupt money making business. Knowing that only raised her suspicions to find out exactly what they where up to.
For the past few months rumor has it that a number of female students have been disappearing suddenly, the principle keeps telling them that they have nothing to worry about his going to look into it and find out what's going on but since the first sudden disappearance till date he keeps on saying the same thing without any action being done, neither does he seem concerned about it.
Vivian shifted comfortably as she explained exactly what she wanted Ken to do.
"When I succeed in preventing Nucho from being expelled, your job is to help me gather up as much information as possible on what the principle and Nucho's father might be planning and we can only get such information from Nucho." explained Vivian.
"And what makes you so sure that Nucho would agree to help you out."
"Trust me I know what am talking about. Tomorrow morning am going to talk with the student representative to change his mind about Nucho expallsion and after that you will better come up with a plan to meet up with Nucho."
From her pocket Vivian removed a note and handed it to Ken."Here is my number, you can contact me if you need anything along the way. But don't think you can reach out whenever you want." she got up and left.
When Vivian left the cafeteria Ken gazed at Vivian's number and thought,
'This is how I get a girl's number for the first time in university, pathetic! Am not even happy that she gave it to me but I better save it anyway and find a way to comply with what she said even though I technically didn't agree or even care to do it.'
