81 Chapter 80: The Be

I yawned from the fatigue of staying up late last night. Stretching my back and spine before smiling to myself. I remember that our bet should still be in effect right now! I already know I'm going to win, I doubt that girl is going to get a higher score than me when she has a hangover.

"Oh hey, Lisa!" Aliceter suddenly approaches me, he just came out of his classroom. He must have finished his exams as well. 

"Hi, Aliceter! How did your exams go? Do you have a good feeling that you're going to pass?" I asked him casually.

I already know the answer to this one. I MEAN COME ON, THIS GUY IS A TOTAL SMART COOKIE. HE'S LIKE THE CLASS REP OR SOMETHING. I doubt they'd hand that title to some dumb bitch. I wish I was smart...

"Oh, it actually went well! All the things I studied appeared on the exams. How about you? You look exhausted. Are you okay?" He grabs me by the hand and then putting his hand on my forehead. "Oh my.. you're a bit feverish."

"Right... I might be a bit sleepy especially since I haven't really been sleeping quite a bit. I studied a lot actually." I inform him about my condition, getting his hand out of my forehead.

"By the way, how about some celebratory dessert for making it out alive in the exams! Remember when you treated me in Kitty Cafe. I kind of want to give something back to you for that." Aliceter offered to take me out, making me blush a little.

Is he asking me out on a date or something? Not gonna lie... he's pretty cute... but I think he's just doing this to make friends. So I'll accept it anyway, I mean who can say no to free desserts.

"Sure! I'd love to go with you. I mean it's not like I have anything to do anyways." I responded, accepting his invitation to go to a cafe. His expression turned happy before finally grabbing me by the arm. "Follow me. I'll take you somewhere really cool." He whispers to my ear as he dragged me along.

We made our way to the shopping district where everwhere was surrounded by countless stores, cafes, restaurants, and other things however it's a bit odd that there's not a lot of people here right now. I would have expected there to at least have quite a bit.

He opens the door of a very retro-looking cafe, the scent of coffee floods the room, and that 60s style to it. Where the walls are decorated with a stylish coffee bean art wallpaper. The chairs were wooden and brown similar to those in the library. It's so quiet and cold here and there's no one even here. I guess the cafes aren't busy these times.

"Is this cafe to your liking?" Aliceter turned around to ask me for my opinion.

"Okay. Let's go to the counter. So you can choose what you want to order and then let's drink it while we chat got it?" He laid down all the plans for me. I nodded and followed him to the cafe's counter. The scent of coffee is stronger in this area as the blender of coffee beans is nearer.

"Hello! What would you like?" The cafe's cashier asked us with a smile.

I looked above the menu, deciding on what I want before whispering it to Aliceter. "I want some cheesecake and cappuccino. Thank you." I inform him before heading to the nearest table to sit down.

I take out my phone while waiting for the drink. I can see the group chat "Everlasting Friends" seems to be a bit busy right now actually.

[4:02 PM] Matthew Pona: How are your exams? Did you guys do good?

[4:02 PM] You: Yes. I think I honestly did well thanks to Damien's tutorials. Honestly, if he didn't help me, I might be a goner right now!

[4:03 PM] Matthew Pona: True. Damien literally carried us. We should probably thank him or something right? I mean the guy literally wasted his time trying to help us.

[4:03 PM] Frederick Cruz: Wow lol. You guys actually still talk to Damien? He's not in this GC, right? 

[4:04 PM] Matthew Pona: You just hate him cause he said you were annoying right? Haha lol. It's your fault 'cause you were acting like the typical fuck boy again.

[4:04 PM] Frederick Cruz: Ya right... shut up, dude.

I chuckled at them casually conversing with one another, although I noticed that Rose has not talked at least once here. Usually, she's the one that won't keep her mouth shut about things but I guess she's quiet right now. That's odd. She's online right now and she isn't texting on the group chat. I might just try to text her myself.

[4:06 PM] You: Hey Rose? How did exams go? Remember about our bet by the way! If I win you get to do whatever I want and what I want is to turn you into the nicest most innocent girl ever! How's that sound?

She read it. Although she didn't really respond, that's strange. At least give me a reply. I then sighed, turning my attention around the area.

I see Aliceter in the distance, holding a tray with all the things we order, he seemed to also have his phone on top of it. Although it's facing down. 

"Here! Enjoy." He puts down the tray on our table. He seems to have ordered some kind of pie and pumpkin spiced latte for his drink while I took my cheesecake and the cappuccino to my side. Both of them look visually appealing. I should probably take a picture of them!

He then stands up from his seat, grabbing the tray. "I'll just put this back on where it's supposed to be. I'll be back okay?" He says to me, grabbing the tray and his phone along with it.

Hmm! I should probably take a picture of these good looking desserts. I mean look at that cheesecake. It looks so soft and savory. It would be a sin to not take a photo of them before eating! I chuckled, taking out the camera roll of my phone to take a picture before a notification pops out on top of my screen.

A message from Rose... I guess she finally responded. I clicked it and it took me into her message.

[4:06 PM] You: Hey Rose? How did exams go? Remember about our bet by the way! If I win you get to do whatever I want and what I want is to turn you into the nicest most innocent girl ever! How's that sound?

[4:12 PM] Rose Gardener: Hey! Sorry for the late reply! I was a bit busy doing something. Can you tell me about our bet again? I must have forgotten! :P

[4:13 PM] You: YOU goofball! You're the one who challenged me and then you forgot! 

[4:14 PM] Rose Gardener: Ya... I did... anyways what is it? I actually got so drunk last night that I don't even remember about what happened.

[4:15 PM] You: Our bet was that if I achieved a high score than you then you do whatever I want, vice versa. You even screamed that out before you left since you're saying that you can pass your exams.

[4:16 PM] Rose Gardener: By the way, who's Damien? Can you give me his contact number? I honestly want to speak with him you know! You said that he was the reason that you passed right? 

She suddenly changed the topic. Hm. Why though? Also, how could he forget about Damien? I could have sworn I told her that the past few days ago. I guess this girl really just forgets a lot of things, doesn't she?

[4:16 PM] You: I told you about him remember?! Also, he's one of my friends. He's really smart and I kind of like him actually. By the way, I can send you his number it's 987-XXXXXXXX.

I sent her Damien's number, she then suddenly becomes quiet for a bit. She didn't even respond to it for a minute although I can see that she has seen it.

[4:18 PM] You: Hey? Are you there? Why aren't you answering now? Are you busy or something? We can talk at a different time okay?

[4:20 PM] Rose Gardner: Oh alright then! Sorry for the late reply. Just had to do something! Anyways see you! TTYL.

She ends our conversation, I straighten up, adjusting my sitting position on the sofa seat. As I turned away my phone, Aliceter stood there in front of me. Giving me a suspicious look
