78 Chapter 77: Lowly Girl Sitting In The Bench

"I was gone for the whole afternoon so I wasn't able to get anything to eat since Damien was very strict." I giggled, hinting at how Damien had this ruler and smacks it when we get the question wrong. Just remembering it again gives me the chills.

"Wait? What?!" Rose's eyes widen. "You.. you were out the whole afternoon?!" She looked me in complete bewilderment, I stepped back confused at what she muttered out. 

"Huh? Why are you so surprised that I was outside?" I asked her as she continued to scratch her head and think carefully. She arched her body downward, squinting her eyes at me. "Well... when I decided that I was going to apologize to you. Instead of actually texting you, I wanted to talk to you directly so I went to your house.

FLASHBACKS (Rose's POV)

I was so nervous to go anywhere near you after what happened during the movie theater although I never really wanted to give a half-assed apology. I wanted to keep it real and own up to my mistakes personally.

When I finally came to your room. I could have sworn I heard some mumbling inside there. Some kind of strange sounds from a T.V so that must have meant that you were there although whenever I tried to knock on your door. The room becomes silent, it's as if the person in there became silent knowing that I was there.

I assumed that it was you and you going off whenever I knock was a way to give me the silent treatment so I go when it becomes silent but whenever I was almost about to go. I would still hear noises from the inside. So I would knock again but the same thing happens. 

After a few times, I gave up so I decided to head to one of the cafes around and I was going to try again during the afternoon since I thought that me knocking on your door nonstop would annoy you so much but when I came back that's when I ran into you.

FLASHBACKS END

"Are you sure that it wasn't you in that room earlier?" She raised her eyebrow at me, giving me a suspicious look. "I mean if it was you. I can understand that you didn't want to see me. I would understand it. You know."

"That person wasn't me. I mean if that's what happened. I would at least try to talk to you. You know that I don't like giving people the silent treatment. Although it can't be me since I was in a study group with Damien and Lawrence that's why I wasn't able to eat. That must be Alex." I explained it to her.

But why would Alex get quiet when she knocked though? I mean like if she annoyed him, he would have at least told it to her face but I'm not seeing anyone else other than him that would be inside the room.

Anyways we should probably be going now. I'm getting hungrier the more we chitchat here in the cold night sky. "Hey um. Thanks for dropping by to say hi, Charles but we need to be going. My stomach is grumbling from hunger." 

"So girl? Are we going to buy some good-ass wings or you gonna be a bitch boy today and quit?" Rose chuckled, smacking me in the back gently.

"Hm... not gonna lie, I might just not do it right now. I'm hungry as fuck. I think eating a fried egg is better." I responded to her, she then rolls her eyes in disappointment.

"Why the fuck do you look so disappointed?" I narrowed my eyes to her.

"Well.. I was hoping that you would buy me some chicken wings since I was hungry to you know! I sat around here for so long just to wait for you. I would deserve to at least get a treat from you. You know?" She muttered it out so shamelessly in front of me. UGH. This GIRL DOESN'T CHANGE LIKE AT ALL.

"GIRL! IT WASN'T ME THAT TOLD YOU TO SIT AROUND HERE LIKE A HOMELESS PERSON. SO DON'T GO BLAMING IT TO ME. ALSO NO CHICKEN WINGS FOR YOU. This is all mine!" I shouted, shrugging her off. 

We then started to laugh off since our goofiness was comical. Ever just have that feeling that you're doing something so stupid and you just laugh at yourself. Must be my hungry stomach talking. "Anyways loser! I need to go and eat. You should probably go home now or you might get kidnapped and probably end up in some human trafficking thing!"

"HEY! That's not a very nice joke though!" Rose scoffed me off. "Anyways bye loser! I gotta seduce more boy toys! See ya bitch!" She yelled to me in goodbye.

"BYE SLUT!" I shouted to her friendly insulting her. I can slowly see her fading away from the veil of the night.

Now I realized I was alone, only my starving body and I is here. I should probably go home now and get something to eat. I'm like dying of hunger here. I said to myself, walking the distance back to my dorm. Probably a good omelette would do nice for me. Honestly I'm not too picky about food anyways. I could anything right about now I-

As I continued walking towards my dorm room. I saw her in the distance. A girl with an unevenly cut hair. Some were long and some were short. She sat hunched back on the bench seat I was at before. The lamp above her illuminated her completely, showing that she's somewhat of a deer in the headlights. Her arms were covered with bandages and so was her legs. Her outfit was skimpy and yet not too revealing.

Somehow... this fits the description of what Damien told me. That girl she met in the nurse's office. It was Liandry from what I remember. She was that promiscuous girl who opens her legs to anyone she sees. I wonder if that's really true. Since I don't really trust what Camille says. She's a lying bitch after all.

I should probably approach her... but my stomach is killing me like I'm dying from the inside... should I come there to her now or EAT... ugh! I might have to suck up this pain of my stomach and talk to her. Eating can wait but I don't think I'll be able to see her again. Damn it! It's worth a shot!

I mustered up the courage to go to her, gently massaging my stomach to ease the pain as I slowly approached the girl, the girl became wary of me. Completely avoiding my eye contact as I sat down beside her. She... she's so shy.. I can tell she doesn't like talking to people. Don't tell me this is the promiscuous girl that she was talking about but that smell of ammonia and bleach. It's completely strong from her and the fact that Matthew mentioned that's what semen smelt like is disgusting.

"Li-Liandry?" I turned to her, gently calling out her name. She recoiled her to face me, her eyes widen as I she did not expect me to call her by her name.

"I.. you.. you know me?" She responded to my call, stuttering to her words.

"Yes, I heard you from one of my friends actually! What brings you here? Why are you sitting down on this bench alone?" I asked her enthusiastically as to not scare her.

"Um.. I'm waiting for a few people to come and get me that's all.." She answered me timidly, looking down on herself.

Huh? She's waiting for someone in this hour? Don't tell me it's what I think it is... I'm starting to have faith but somehow it's being clouded by a level of doubt... I'm not liking this feeling at all..

"By.. the way.. what's your name exactly? I don't really know you... why are you exactly talking to me?"

"I'm Lisa Manzona. Also I'm talking to you right now because I was just worried about you in a sense since looking at you right now. You don't exactly look like you're in a good condition." I pointed out her appearance.

"Oh... I see... but I'm fine..." She responded to me, pushing me a bit, I can tell she felt agitated for me asking.

"By the way? Who are you exactly waiting for in this hour? I mean it's like already so late! I don't think it'd be a good time to go out at this time!" 

"I.. well it's not like I have a choice to begin with...."

I think this is the time I should do this! Remember what Alex told me. Raise her spirit and give her self esteem! This is my only shot so I better not screw this up!
