Chapter 35: Bottled Water

When Bree and I were finally out, Bree gave me a slow round of applause. "Why?" I asked.

 "You're being brave. I like that. I don't want you to be the loser between the two of you."

 I sighed. "I also need to be brave sometimes, because if I don't do that, they will think that I can be destroyed with just a simple word. I want them to know that once they see my aura, they already know that it is not that they should start saying hurtful things because if they throw something at me, I will use it as a protection. "

 "You are so clever; your words are so deep that if not understood well, you will look brainless."

 I smiled. "I told you I'm really smart. I just don't really show it because I might be exhausted. "

 The two laughed as they walked towards the garden, but when William suddenly appeared, they were startled. "Oh my gosh!" I look at my side at the same time. "What are you, William? Why are you suddenly appearing?"

 "Can we talk for a moment?"

 "Bree and I haven't had a snack yet. What is that about?"

 William's gaze shifted to Bree. "Can you just buy Daniella something to eat while I talk to her?" William smiled slightly at Bree.

"O-kay, go ahead." Bree said with a smile because she rarely talks to him either, and there's a bonus with a small smile.

 I frowned. "Why don't you show you're smiling at me too?" I asked William.

 "You see, but it seems that you forgot that day. You've stalked me. " William began to walk towards the garden, but he was still standing. 

 "When did he smile at me? I don't remember." I followed William as I tried to remember that day. I sat down in the opposite chair. "What are you going to say?"

 "About tutoring."
 
 "Oh, what about that?"

 "Every Saturday, we will meet in the plaza for your tutoring again. You have no reason not to go."

 "Wow, he really said that to me. He's the one who owed me this last tutoring; he should have," I whispered.

 "I heard that," William said.

 I smiled so that my eyes could no longer see. "Did you hear? Good then," I said while faking a smile.
 
 Bree arrived with biscuits and bottled water. It was also about four biscuits because Bree was planning to offer William one. "William, you might want some biscuits." There were three biscuits on the table.

 But suddenly Daniella and William both held a biscuit, even though there were still two on the table at the same time, so Daniella looked at William while she was still holding the plastic wrapper of the biscuit. "Let go," I said.

 "This is what I want, so you let go."

 "You came out of the classroom earlier, so you've already eaten!"

 "I'm still hungry, and Bree offered me some, so it's okay for me to take it."

 I looked at Bree, who was eating while watching them fight over a biscuit. There were almost two more on the table because Bree only took one.

 "I like it too; just take another biscuit. There are two more here."

 "I don't want any biscuits. This is just what I want. "

 "Let go first; it's mine!"

 "No, it's mine."

 Bree almost winced at the sound of the biscuit inside the plastic with the excessive pressure of the two holding it, so she just took it so the two were surprised. "So this is yours, Daniella, and this is yours, William. " Bree handed the remaining biscuits to the two so that they would not quarrel and eventually not be able to eat what they were doing.

 But as Daniella opened hers, she looked badly at William, who was now eating what Bree had given him. "Hey! You. You thought we were okay. You still aren't close to Bree and me. "

 "Really? I thought we were okay since we met outside the basketball court. You even sat down because you couldn't stand my presence. " He looked at me proudly.

 My eyes widened. "My legs just lost strength," I blurted out. I turned my gaze to Bree, who now looked at me as if judging."

 "But what I know is that because of the way I—" William couldn't continue what he was going to say because Daniella spoke immediately.

 "You're done eating. You can leave."

 Bree seemed curious about what William was going to say, so she asked. "What's that, William, the way I—?"

 "I was walking, so that’s what happened," I replied.

 "Why isn't that what he would say?"

 I raised my eyebrows at Bree with a sigh. "Why do you know better than me what happened?" I shifted my gaze to William, who was looking at me. "Why?"

 I took my bottle of water that was in front of me on the table. I grabbed it and drank some water, but I didn't expect that William would take it and drink it with my own bottle of water. I had intended to stop him, but he had already brought the bottle close to his mouth.

 They silently watched William drink the water, which was almost half reduced. After drinking, he lowered it again in front of Daniella, who didn't move with her mouth slightly open. "Thank you!" William said before standing up and finally leaving.

 I'm back to my senses and held the bottle. "Did he really drink water from my bottle?"

"Yes, and the saliva of both of you has mixed in that bottle," Bree replied, and she saw Daniella smiling. "Oh, don't smile like that, Daniella. I thought you were still mad at him, but just William drinking your water in a bottle is like eating too much sugar."

 "Right now, I'm not angry. I'll just bring it back again. " I smiled again in front of the bottle. Bree just shook her head as my mood changed.

 Meanwhile, in Daniella's adviser's office, a teacher approached her. "Teacher May, this is the record of the student who will be your student temporarily."

 Teacher May took it and read the details about the student. "Alexander Montemayor, 17 years old, and his parents look rich. His father is the CEO of a company, and his mother has her own famous clothing line." After reading all the record details, the student file already stored in the drawer of teacher May.
