Chapter 35: A J*rk Guy

Brian and Donny followed. And of course, Donny sat beside his lover who was frozen as if she was studying the situation. Donny immediately embraced Poppy and gave him a quick kiss on the head.

“I’ve seen you guys a few times. I’m Kathania Dusk, majoring in IT. I do, because you guys are quite popular.” She explained with a big laugh.

Lary and Brian laughed too, “Really? We didn’t notice that.” Brian said while combing his hair with his fingers as if he was the most handsome man in the world. They looked very proud.

In her mind, Emma was cursing Kathy for allowing the three crazy losers to join them.

Yeah, Emma couldn’t blame her either, because Kathy certainly didn’t know how bad the three guys are. Kathy is a friendly girl who is quite innocent. She just likes to make friends as much as possible, regardless of who her friends are. It seems like she dreams of becoming one of the popular girls on the campus.

“How are you guys? Ever since we hung out together last time, it’s like I’ve never seen you guys again.” Emma asked coldly. Her cynical gaze made the three guys move uncomfortably.

“Hahaha.. You remember that, Emma? I’m sorry, things were so messed up at the time. We thought you were behind us.” Larry said.

.....

Brian nodded vigorously, “We were looking for you for two hours after realizing you weren’t behind us. That was crazy. But you’re all right, aren’t you?”

Emma smiled sarcastically, “Of course. We survived even though we don’t understand what happened.”

“Huh? Poppy, Why are you just musing from earlier?” Kathy realized as she looked at the girl who usually talked quite a lot.

Donny immediately looked at his girlfriend who became embarrassed, “Are you full? Want something else to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”

Hearing Donny’s offer, Poppy immediately shook her head and smiled stiffly, “Huh? N-no need. I’m on a diet.” she answered without looking at her boyfriend’s face at all.

Emma and Roger noticed something odd about the couple. Emma knew what kind of girl Poppy is. She does look soft, obedient, and innocent. But that doesn’t mean she’s a girl who’s afraid to talk with people.

With her gentleness, she was friendly to everyone so that she became a quite popular girl on campus. But Poppy’s attitude now was like a puppy that was afraid of her master.

“Oh, Then I’ll buy you a pretty skirt when your diet has succeeded.” Donny smiled.

“What are you dieting for? You’re too skinny already, Poppy.” Kathy laughed.

“That’s right. You look so pretty like this and like anything. You don’t need a diet to be able to wear a pretty skirt.” Emma continued by glancing at Donny sarcastically.

Poppy just smiled and shook her head as Donny put a hug on her shoulder, “It’s not like that, girls. I have a weight standard that I set myself.”

“Oh, I see, Haha.. That’s pretty funny.” Kathy laughed.

Emma just smiled faintly. She felt there was something strange about the relationship between Poppy and Donny. She didn’t know if the others realized it or not, but the girl seemed to be under pressure from her boyfriend.

“Oh, I didn’t realize you were there, Roger.” Donny looked far over to Emma’s side, where a geeky guy sat on the very edge.

Roger didn’t answer. Since then, he had been eating in silence as fast as he can. He intended to leave as soon as possible from the table which was becoming more and more like hell. Looks like he chose the wrong time for lunch.

“Oh yeah! What was Roger doing then? I hope you didn’t be a burden to our girlfriends.” Brian asked Roger.

“He was very helpful. Roger stayed behind to look after the three of us until we got home safely. Luckily, Roger was with us at the time.” Emma said immediately.

Hearing Emma’s statement, the three guys looked at each other.

“Hahaha.. That’s impossible.” Larry Laughed.

“Sorry, hem.. How to say it? But, a Roger can’t possibly do something like that. I became more convinced when I saw him several times being asked for money by seniors.” Brian said to embarrass him.

Roger suddenly stood up. Everyone stared at him in silence. Could Roger finally show his anger?

No. His head remained lowered and Emma realized that the food on her tray had run out.

“I am done,” Roger said in a small voice.

Donny secretly play-blinking with Brian who was sitting closest to Roger. They both smiled and nodded slightly.

“Hey, aren’t you guys to mu..” Before Kathy finished speaking, she immediately stopped when Brian rashly stood up from his seat and grabbed the glass of half-left orange juice on the table.

“Wait, Roger. You drink.. Oop!”

Bump! Splash!

All eyes in the cafeteria immediately turned to those who made the noise. Including the twelve pairs of eyes of the guys that a few minutes ago filled two long tables near the entrance door. Troy and Ian looked at each other after witnessing the incident.

“Isn’t that Emma?” Frank muttered as he sat down with the tray of his entire protein-packed lunch on the table.

“She’s with the bastard,” Ian said while watching.

“What are you doing?!” Emma asked Brian with wide eyes.

“I didn’t mean to. I thought it was Roger’s drink that was left behind. It turned out to be yours, huh?” Brian said while wiping his wet hands with tissue paper.

Emma’s hands clenched into fists. It felt like she wanted to grab the tray in front of her so she could use it to slash the stupid guy’s neck. But of course, Emma had to keep her attitude. There’s no point in dealing with the behaviour of the bullies. In fact, they will only work on Roger even more.

“Are you all right, Roger?” Emma asked, pulling out a bunch of tissue paper to wipe Roger’s orange juice-drenched pants and hoodie.

“I’m fine. I’m going.” He picked up Emma’s glass -which Brian thought was his- now empty glass and placed it on his tray for him to take to the wash.

“You can wash your clothes in the toilet. We’ll help you later.” Brian said jokingly.

But Roger lowered his head even more and wanted to run away because he knew that it isn’t just a joke. They are very able to approach him in the toilet, but not to help him clean his dirty clothes, but to prank him and take his money.

“What a stupid excuse? If you didn’t know it was Emma’s drink, you couldn’t have said it right away. Besides, the glass was obviously right next to Emma’s hand.” Kathy said to Brian.

Emma immediately turned to him and looked at Brian who was blushing with embarrassment. That guy is stupid.

“Hey, Why do you say that? He really didn’t mean to and wanted to help. Why are you bothering about something nonsense?” Larry said sarcastically.

“Looks like you guys were wanted to pranking him. Is that true?” Kathy frowned.

Poppy looked at the girl with a panicked face. She knew that Kathy liked to talk a lot without thinking. Didn’t she realize that those three guys could do bad things to her?

“Roger,” Emma mumbled as the guy quickly walked away.

Emma was confused about whether to go after Roger or stay at the table because it seemed Kathy and Larry were having an argument.

“For a girl with an unattractive look, you talk too much. If you’re not pretty, at least keep your mouth shut.” Donny’s words took Kathy by surprise.

Emma and Poppy suddenly looked at Donny in disbelief.

“You..”

“Ahh.. I don’t have an appetite anymore.” Donny got up to cut Emma who wanted to protest at what he just said.
