Audrey's POV
Vivian left us but she returned soon and said to me:
"Audrey, your arrogant classmate said he wants to see you but funny enough, he didn't really speak arrogant today"
"Ohhh..." I muttered.
"Stay here, I'll attend to him again" Kyle intended to.
"No Kyle, let me go" I said.
"Come on Audrey, that's why I'm here remember? " He said with his hand on my shoulder.
I just hummed.
Then he went over to Simon's table.
Of course, he knew whom Vivian was referring to as 'Arrogant'

Simon's POV
Kyle came over to me instead of who I sent for - Audrey.
He stood in front of me and folded his arms.
"I sent for Audrey" I almost barked at him.
"She's unavailable and I'm her assistant" He said.
Assistant?
"When did this undeveloped restaurant start having main waiters and assistant waiters? "
"What do you wanna say to Audrey? " He asked me instead.
Well, that's what I was expecting from him; Yells, screams.. snub...
"Can you please stop being impossible Kyle?" I said to him in my calmest tone.
Ok fine! It was my fault we fought today, it has always been my fault.
Now I'm trying to make up things with him and Audrey.
Shouldn't he be happy that I stoop so low to tell him to be my friend?
Does he even know how many poor people out there that wants to be friends with me?
He simpered and said to me:
"I guess you only came here to blab and spit into your food right?
Huh?
"Then I'll leave you to continue blabbing" He added and walked away.
That was a very big slap on my face.
Now I regret ever saying I don't want to be friends with the slum.
I couldn't control myself, So I quickly made the transfer and walked out of the restaurant.

Audrey's POV
"He just left now, why did he wanna see me? " I asked Kyle when he returned and after I noticed, Simon left frustratedly.
"He didn't even say" Said Kyle.
•
Through out, Kyle barely let me do some work or attend to some customers.
He kept on saying that's why he's here.
He is too clingy yet even a million thanks can't show how grateful I am to him.
But it's not like I feel lazy or something, I feel so safe and secured because he's around.
Indeed, he's my guardian angel.

Soon, it was 7:00pm.
After receiving our usual pay and giving Kyle part of it for assisting me but he refused to collect even a dine from me whereas we both need this money.
We said Bye to Felix and Vivian whom left with her manfriend, Obviously she's not gonna change.
Kyle and I began to walk down the dark road.
It wasn't too dark anyway b'cos we could still find our way.
And he was singing a song to me in the quiet night.
🎶 She just wants to be; Beautiful she goes, Unnoticed she knows, No limit she craves, Attention she praises, An image she prays to be sculpted by the sculptor.
🎵 Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
🎶 Deeper than the eyes can find it
🎵 Maybe we have made her blind, so she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away 'Cause cover girls don't cry after their face is made..
🎶 But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark..
🎵 You should know you're beautiful just the way you are and you don't have to change a thing.. the world could change its heart
🎶 No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful..
🎵 Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh, You don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful..
🎶 She has dreams to be ...
And he suddenly stop when I was already enjoying the song, his melodious voice and I was already blushing excessively.
"Why did you stop? " I asked him.
"Because I want to, do you think I was singing the song for you? " He asked and my eyes widen, Huh?
"Of course for me, if you weren't singing for me then who? " I asked again.
"You" He smiled.
"You are silly, SillyK" I said and smiled too.
"Wait, you have been saying this lately; is that my new nickname 'SillyK'? " He asked me.
"Maybe but I'll only call you SillyK when you do or say something silly" I said smiling widely.
"Whatever" He rolled his eyes as if he were girl.
It doesn't even suit him.
"See there are flying cockroaches over there" He pointed at a place we were heading to.
"cockroaches?" I blurted..
"I'm so scared of them, let's pass the other way" I said already clinging behind his back.
I'm so scared of cockroaches and I hate them.
Who likes cockroaches though?
Kyle chuckled at me and held me close to him.
I felt relieved after we successfully passed by it...
"What's your favorite musician? " I could now speak without fear.
"Favourite? I have no favourite musician but I mostly enjoy music sung by female musicians" He told me.
"Could that be why your voice is so sweet, girly and tiny? " I asked him.
" I don't know but don't flatter me" He said laughing.
"I'm not" I said and I noticed he had red cheeks like.. we girls.
Why is almost every about him so girly?
We continue to walk - in silence.
"Simon said he's sorry for fighting with me and he wants to be my friend" Kyle broke the brief silence.
"He said so? " I blurted - surprised.
"Yeah so surprising, he actually did"
"And what did you say to him?" I asked him.
"I.... I gave him no reply"
"How could you have done that Kyle? " I frowned and stood in front of him.
He stopped walking too and stared at me:
"You really want us to be friends?"
"Yes I do. Like the four of us; You, Simon and I.. Elena is not excluded. We can be best of friends" I said dreamily and happily.
I don't care about people's background before making them my friends..
If only my imagination could turn into reality
"Do you trust him already? Do you think it would be fine if we became friends?" He asked me quizzically.
"Yeah... I... I think so" I stammered.
He didn't say anything for a while then he finally said; "Ok, let's just go"
I decided not to talk about it anymore.
He followed me home, watched me go into the house before he went his way - to his house.
