"W a a a a a a a h!" I was stunned over what I just saw.

We were in the canteen and in front of the

counter trying to collect our meals.

" Xhem what happened?" Huzey rushed to my side when he heard me screamed. " Are you hurt?" He
examined every inch of me to see if I've got any open wounds.

" Xhem? What's wrong? " My coach also approached me to see what's wrong.

"W a a a a a a a h!" I screamed again.

"Xhem? Stop it, just tell us what's wrong! Coach, I think we need to bring her again to the clinic" Ziggy
worriedly suggested when he couldn't figure out whats wrong with me.

"W a a a a a ------".

P A A A C K! A loud snap was heard when Mr Gem hit my head with a newspaper he found somewhere.
He could have sense that I am acting silly again.

" Coach ouch! that hurts!" I stepped back and frowned. I immediately covered my head with my hand
afraid of being hit again by him.

" Why don't you tell us what's wrong? Instead of screaming loudly? Tell us now or I'll hit you again with
these!" He said with glaring eyes. There was no annoyance in his gaze but I could tell that he is worried
with my actions.

" Look! " I pointed to the plates displayed in the counter. " The dessert.. they have strawberry cakes for
dessert! " I said with delight in an almost a scream. I couldn't believe that strawberry cake is what we
are having for desserts. I am so excited and I started to salivate. I couldn't wait to have one!

P A A A C K! A loud snap was heard again. It was Ziggy this time who hit me with the newspaper.
" What's that for? " I asked him with glaring eyes. " You are so ungentle with me Ziggy boy. Who told you
to hit girls like that?" I added without withdrawing my eyes.

" You made us worry over such dessert! Just because of that strawberry cake I almost thought of
carrying you to the clinic just now" he said trying to hold his annoyance over me.

" It's not just a simple dessert. Its strawberry cake! Anything to do with strawberries are the greatest
dish anyone can serve! " I said with my chin up and my hands on my waist.

" You two should stop now. We are about to eat dinner." That was Huzey trying to stop our nonsense
argument. " No more nasty games." He said as he looked at me.

I decided to retreat and keep quite this time when I saw Huzey on a serious mood. I went to collect my
meals in the counter and followed the boys to the only empty table in the canteen.

As we sat down to eat, Mr. Gem's phone rang. He excused himself over dinner but a minute after the
came back hurriedly.

"You two, come with me." He pointed out to the boys. There is something wrong with your costumes so
the designer called me. We have to meet her right now, this is an emergency. " The boys stand from
their seats without questions. I believe they are going to the next building where most of the costumes
are made. " Xhem you stay here to watch over the food. We will be back in about fifteen minutes to
finish our dinner".

"Will you be okay here by yourself?" Huzey asked me as they were about to leave.

Munch.Munch,Munch. My mouth was filled with strawberry cake so I just nodded in response. As soon
as they left I buried myself on the dessert. It was to delicious that I was able to finish a big slice right
away.

" Yummy. Hmmm. I want more" I said to myself. I look at the plates on the next chair beside me and saw
Huzey' s slice of strawberry cake. Since I badly want more I decided to eat the boys' share of cake.
Anyways they always let me have their share when it comes to food with strawberries in it. They know
how big my appetite is when it comes to strawberries.
As I was about to get Huzey's slice of strawberries I saw someone standing beside me.

" Stealing someone's food?" he shakes his head as he looks at me intently.

" Beast" I whispered to myself and ignored him.

"What?" I saw him sit on the corner of the same table I am sitting. The table is meant for six people and
only four spaces had been taken by us. Since there is no other empty seat, he has no choice but to eat in
the same table where I am currently eating.

"I said is Loki your first name?" I asked while rolling my eyes. I took Huzey's share of cake and put it in
my plate without minding him.

" Loki? Who's that?" he asked calmly as he was trying out his first bite.

" Thor's brother, the one who has powers to emerge suddenly out from nowhere" I responded
sarcastically. Well indeed they have the same qualities. This guy seems to appear so sudden. I didn't
even noticed him.

I was about to eat the strawberry cake that I had been trying to eat since earlier.

" That isn't yours" He said trying to stop me from me from making a bite.

"So what?"

" You aren't supposed to eat something that isn't yours.." The last words he said halted me from making
a bite. I put down the spoonful of cake as I glance sideways. I raised one of my eyebrows.

" Why care? I never thought you are such a concerned citizen"
"Eating someone else food is stealin---"

" Why are you even here?" I cut the last words he said with annoyance. I sneered at him. I'm starting to
feel angry by his presence. I don't know why, but I really am irritated by just the sight of him. He was the
one that caused me such humiliation earlier and he even dared to report me to the board. Now, he is
disturbing me from such a glorious strawberry cake dinner.

" Why are you here?" I repeated.

" Eating" He said and made another bite.

" Then just eat. Don't be too pathetic over someone else dinner 'kay?"

" I can't believe that you are here" He put down his spoon carefully and looked at me with disbelief.
"How come they allowed you to stay in the competition when your flaw was very obvious" he said
suspiciously.

" I'm innocent that's why"

"Innocent? That's the least adjective to describe you"

I looked at him intently. We snarled at each other. After a minute I decided to retreat. I promise myself
that I'm going to behave tonight because of the happiness that the strawberry cake brought me.
Therefore, I'll just let this incident pass as if it didn't happen. I composed myself and focused on my
food. As I was about to take the spoonful of cake that I was about to eat earlier I heard him again.

" Are you really gonna eat—"

Munch.munch.munch. I ignored him as I swallowed my first bite of Huzey's strawberry cake. I was so
angry that I managed to finished it in minute. I took Ziggy and coach's share right away and buried
myself with it.
I saw him gawked over what I did. " Hey, that's too much!" he attempted to stop me.

"Is someone speaking? The cake is too sweet I couldn't hear a thing" I said to myself while ignoring him.
Munch. Munch munch. I don't want my strawberry dinner to be ruined by just a gorgeous beast!

Gulp! Tsap! Tsap. I savor my last bite of cake.

Delicious! Oh I want more! I really want more! Just another slice Lord please? I started to feel depressed
over the fact that there is no more strawberry cake to eat. I looked around sadly as I started to salivate
over the thought of it. My eyes stopped at the only strawberry cake left in the canteen. It's the beast's
share of cake that was neatly placed on a small plate. It's as if the strawberry is waving its hand to me
saying " Eat me. Eat me too"

" What?" He asked when he noticed me looking to his side for a while now.

Lightbulb!

An idea come across my mind suddenly. I looked at him again and raise one of my eyebrows to and fro
before standing on my seat and started to walk away.

" Tss… crazy girl. Yeah that's right you'd better walk away and stay out of my sight" He said before
looking down to finish his food.

He was concentrating with his food when I suddenly sat beside him holding one of my hands to my chin.
His shocked expression drew an evil grin from me.

" What?" he said as his eyebrows rose a notch.

" Your coach called you? Look there he is!" I told him and pointed to somewhere randomly.
He rose from his seat and followed the direction of my finger. As soon as he realized that his coach is
nowhere near, he looked toward me and saw how I hurriedly eat his share of strawberry cake. He was
taken aback.

Munch.munch.munch. Gulp! Tsap tsap!. I smiled with satisfaction with the last bite I took.

" You are so unbelievable! " he was really angry this time but I don't care.

I smiled happily in front of him. I don't care how angry he is as long as I was able to eat the last slice of
strawberry in the house. I feel like rays of sunshine are all over my face as I annoyed him by letting him
see how happy and satisfied I am.

" What do you think you are doing?" I panicked when he placed his two hands over my shoulders. He
slightly bend down to meet my gaze. The smiles all over my face are gone now.

" And-- what do you think you are doing too--Err?" I tried to avoid his gaze. Our current position is
making me uneasy. A hot feeling rose within me again, same with what I had earlier when he brought to
the clinic.

" Are you aware of the inconvenience you cause to a lot of people? " he said seriously.

" How could you say I cause too much inconvenience to a-lot-of-people when clearly, you are the only
one that I am messing with right now" I answered. I pouted at the thought that he was so angry over a
slice of strawberry cake. Is strawberry his favorite too?

His pair of catastrophic hazel eyes are now glaring with anger. He lowered down his head closer to mine.
Phew! his face is too close right now! This jerk! I panicked again over the idea that he might do to me
the same thing that he had done earlier in the clinic.

" Can-- you put your face-- a-way from me?" I managed to ask him those words while trying my best to
relax.

"Why? you feel uneasy? Is that a blush I see?" He examined my face carefully with an evil grin.
" I'm not blushing jerk!" My face is real hot. Who could have not possibly blush in the current position
that we have? His face and lips are too close that one wrong move could lead to a kiss.

" Your face is as red when I carried you to the clinic earlier". He smirked. I thought of how jerk this
person is, he even managed to mentioned that awkward moment in the clinic to shame me more.

" It's only a blush on. I remember putting too much blush on earlier..." I tried to lie to redeem myself.

Heck? Why am I blushing by the way? I can't even explain myself now.

" Do you find me handsome? Is that why you are blushing? I'm starting to assume you have a crush on
me" He smiled devilishly when he said those words.

" F-Y-I, you're not handsome! your face looks like an ogre! I think you are the one who have an interest
in me since it's you who always comes near me. I'm starting to assume you have a crush on me!" I
mimicked his last words in annoyance and raise one of my brows angrily.

He drew his face closer as a response to what I said. This jerk! Our nose met. I can now clearly see his
gorgeous hazel eyes shining with desire. I lowered my gaze and saw his reddish lips, I swallowed at the
sight of how kissable they are. I didn't dare to move. I'm afraid of the next thing he would do if I will
annoy him more.

" The last person who said that I ain't handsome fell head over heels in love with me" He said in an
almost a whisper.

Dug.dug.dug.dug.

My heart. I think my heart is about to explode. It felt like the whole surroundings is so hot I can't help
but close my eyes to suppress the feeling. Is he going to kiss me now?
