Chapter 4: After-school

As I was walking down by the corridor thinking about random stuff, I saw Rachael waving her hands towards me. 

"What were you called for Ally?"[RACHAEL]

"Nothing, just some QnA stuff."[ME]

"With Anna"[RACHAEL]

"Hmmm"[ME]

"Is something bothering you?"[RACHAEL]

"Naah"[ME]

"I see"[RACHAEL]

"And what exactly is it you see?"[ME]

"Nothing. Just so you know Ally, you can share anything with me. Anything or anyone who is bothering you. Just don't keep all troubles to yourself. You can depend on me and I'll deal with all your problems. OK."[RACHAEL]

"Yeah"[ME]

"Bye then. See'ya"[RACHAEL]

And there she went running down the corridor to god knows where. As for her, I know that I can share any of my problems with her and she will be there for me. Although I don't feel emotions, I am not stupid that I can't see her love for me. I know very well that she is in love with me. But I cannot reciprocate that feeling.  Although I like her very much,  but because of my insensitivity to the feelings called attachment and love, I cannot give her the same that she gives to me. I don't want to ever break that girl's heart. Maybe she better finds someone else to depend upon. Though thinking about that, if she ever finds a boyfriend, will I be happy seeing her intimate with that guy. Maybe yes...or maybe no. Who knows.

Since the school is over now, I'm on my way to work. Well to let you know, on surface, I'm working part-time in a diner in the marketplace. But in reality, that diner belongs to me. You ask how? Well I asked my aunt for lending me some money to open up a business. Being overprotective of me, she opened up a whole diner on her name and gifted it to me. But I refused and told her that I would pay her monthly along with some interest until I paid it back in full.

I arrived at my shop and what greeted my sight was a girl wearing same dress as me waving her hands towards me. She is Roxanne. She is in the same year but different class. She is also a beauty with fair complexion and brown hairs which she always keeps in a bun. She also knows that this diner belongs to me and asked if she could work part-time so she could earn some extra money. Well, nothing's wrong with earning some money so I gave her the job.

"Hey Allen! Why are so late today?"[ROXANNE]

"Nothing, I just wasn't in the mood to work today" I said while yawning.

"That's not how things work. Just come with me already you sleepyhead." She dragged me inside the shop.

After changing to our uniform and along with our other fellow colleagues, we are now open for the night.

Roxanne and I work as chef and 4 other workers were for taking orders, serving dishes and every other tasks.

"Umm Roxanne, will you look after the diner today?"[ME]

"Is it related to that slut again?"[ROXANNE]

"She is not a slut and yes, again"[ME]

"Allen, just so you know, that women's intentions towards you are not good and you should just stay away from her at all costs"[ROXANNE]

"You don't have to tell me what to do and what not"[ME]

"What are you getting angry at me for?" she begin to sulk.

"I'm not getting angry at you"[ME]

"Yup I know. If it weren't for me to know about your condition, I would probably not have talked to you ever" she said with a mischievous grin on her face.

"You don't have to talk to me if you are not comfortable. I'm not a least bit bothered by it."[ME]

"Who said I don't want to talk to you?  I love talking to you very much. I think that your cold personality is rather charming and I'm very much charmed by it. Can I be your girlfriend?"[ROXANNE]

I stared at her with deadpan eyes and ignored her. Who knows whether she is speaking truth or just making fun of me. Welp, if she's being serious then I can do nothing but to reject her cause I don't know how to love.

"I was being serious about it , you know" she said in barely audible voice.

"What?"[ME]

"Nothing. And you can go and meet your lover. I'll look after you"[ROXANNE]

"She is not my lover and thank you for looking after me"[ME]

We resumed our work and at 9'o clock, I picked up my bag and went to see miss Anna.

I'm on my way to the Cafe six  shops from my diner. After arriving there, I glanced at the usual place and there she is. The one and only miss Anna with a blooming smiling plastered on her face like a maiden-in-love. Ignoring that, I am now sitting in front of her and to any other customer,we looked like a pair of couple, but we are far from it.
