Eliza's POV
Is this the treat he want? It's been 2 hours we are wandering in this mall. We are not shopping. He is smiling all the time despite the fact that he have class tomorrow.I told about the events happened here. His face changed when i told him about the new transferee. "Did he say anything else?"he asked, creasing his forehead. I thought for a second "He said... I am gorgeous and then he want me to tutor him" i said. Is he jealous? Why is he clenching his fist now staring at the Starbucks. "Claire? Do you want Starbucks coffee?" I asked. He looked at me with a glint of surprise as if he is asking 'what bro? Seriously?'.
"Will you come school, tomorrow "? - Claire
"Yeah. Why?" I said."Nothing " he said then walked again. He stopped infront of a clothing store. He turned toward me. "Eliza, buy me a shirt" he said then went inside. I don't care about the expense now. He did a lot for me. I think it's just a small repayment.
I sat on the chair. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Sitting " i replied. "Excuse me ms, we are hear to buy a shirt " he said sarcastically. "I know. Choose one, i will pay" i said. "What? I want you to choose one for me" he said and shrugged. I stood up. "Claire, go choose one i don't have any fashion sense." I said calmly. He folded his hands then looked at what i am wearing. "Are you sure, Eliza.?" He asked. "Fine" i said then looked for a shirt. None of them attracted my eyes except a black shirt. I took it and gave it to him. He looked at the shirt and sighed. "Your gift was a black shirt" he said "yeah " i said while nodding "now i am wearing a black shirt " he said i looked at his shirt and said "hmm" still nodding "Yesterday, i wore a black shirt with white collar" he said why is he listing his shirts now? "Yeah" i said "And you're giving me a black shirt now? Half of my wardrobe is black. How many black shirts am i suppossed to have?" He asked. Now i understand i just smiled at him awkwardly the put the shirt back. Then i took a dark brown shirt then looked at him "Be romantic " he commented "I can't. Choose yourself" i give up. "No, one last time" he said. I looked around and saw a ash colour shirt. I picked it up "what about this?" I asked him "Do you like it? " he asked "I am not the one who is gonna wear this" i replied. "If you like it, i like it too" he said then snatched it from my hand."ma'am we like to buy this" he said to a lady who is the cashier. "13000 bucks, sir" she said. He took his phone but i already paid it with my phone. "Done" i said. "Eliza, you're asked to choose not to pay" he said. "Yeah you asked to choose and i chose to pay" i replied the walked out of the shop. He followed me with the cover. "Let's drink coffee" i said and walked towards starbucks. "Stop" he said after blocking my path."This time i will pay" he said. I shrugged "No, my treat" i said and walked again. He followed me "this shirt of 13000 is more than enough ". "It's. My. Treat " i said while poking his forehead head. He just sighed then walked with me.
We both ordered caramel macchiato. He always orders the same as me. "Hey, Eliza " someone called while we are waiting for our coffee. We both turned to look at the speaker. Victor. "Hey victor" i replied and smiled. "Why are you here?" He asked i was about to answer but "Eliza, the shirt you bought me is so good" claire interrupted. What? Why is he saying this now? I looking at him in confusion. He opened the cover and was looking at the shirt.Victor ignored him then continued to talk with me "Is it okay for you to tutor me in breaks and sometimes at weekends?" He asked softly. "Yeah it is-" "No" claire shouted, thankfully it was not too loud. "You need to rest. How can a person always study? Not even having a break " he asked looking annoyed. Now victor annoyed by him. "I am talking to her. What is your problem?" Victor asked. "What is your problem? I am also talking to her" Claire yelled. This time i am annoyed by both of them. "Stop it" i said calmly but in a authoritive tone. "Victor" i turned to look at him "If i promised to tutor you, it is okay in any appropriate time. Let's talk at school about this" i said. "Sorry, Eliza " he said and bowed his head. Claire was staring at him. Victor's phone rang "excuse me" he said then accepted the call "Mom, yeah i am coming" he said to the person on phone. "Bye Eliza, i have to go" he said. "Bye" i said and smiled. "Am i a cutout here?" Claire murmured. Why this behavior? "Claire, what happened to you?" I asked him calmly. "Nothing " he moaned. I just shook my head. Our order arrived. I was sipping my macchiato but Claire was deep in thought his forehead creasing and his nostrils were wide. I laughed silently at his expression. I laugh is never loud it is always just expressions. He looked at me because i was laughing. I pursed my lips to stop the laugh escaping my mouth. I inserted straw into my mouth and sipped. "You have to tutor me too" he said which made me choke. "What?" I asked a coughed. "What, 'What?' You agreed to tutor him, then why can't you tutor me?" He asked looking straight in my eyes. I shook my head and sighed "You're a top student. Why do you need a tutor?" I asked. "I need a tutor if you're tutoring" he said and drinked his macchiato like having an ego issue with the straw. "Claire" i called. "You are not tutoring him,if you're not tutoring me" he said. I blinked a few times."Is that a threat? " i asked his face immediately fell "No it's a request" he said with puppy eyes "Fine" i give up he won't stop yelling until i agree. Oh! God he finally smiled and drinked his macchiato with much joy.
As i said, i paid the bill.
He dropped me home. Thoroughout the ride he was talking how his day went and i listened patiently.I searched for a good store to buy electronics. I can go for weekends.I decided to call some builders to construst two more rooms and a CR. I can do the other things my own.
I called some and i am okay with one. I decided to work more. This time it was only 4 hours. 80,000 again. I just spend 13200 today.
What is this? Why can't i work? A message popped up saying
"You can only work until 11:00 pm"
What? When did they set a limit? I am not sleepy yet. I prepared dinner first then had a bath before eating.
I ironed my uniform before going to bed.
