Chapter 3: The Quite Lover (Part 2)
"Eh?" Pierre was quite shock by her answer; she never though she would agree to it.
"But you'll have to give me something in exchange for that…"
"What…" just when he was about to ask him; Sophie snatches the note from his hands and scribble something on it before handed it over again.
"Nothing big… just give me a ride on your new motorcycle when you claim the prize." She smiles as he finish reading the notes.
"Sure… but may I ask you; why would you agree to this? Wouldn't you should be angry with me since we're betting on you?"
"Of course I' m mad! "
"Huh?" She continues to write as Pierre watch closely.
"But I'm mad at your friend even more; since he wanted you to be his slave! What kind of friends actually does that to their own friends? Besides, you're doing me a favor because you're being honest with me from the start.… and… for that, I will have another condition…" Pierre looks up at her as he read the last sentence.
"So, she agrees with you? Come again, where did you met her for the second meeting?"
"It's behind the lab… and yes, she agrees; how many times do I have to tell you?"
"But why there; instead of the library? Didn't you try to talk; I mean 'communicate' with her in the library on the first time you met her?" His tone sounds overly annoying than it used to making Pierre more pissed.
"Ron!"
"Okay, I'm sorry… I was just trying to cool down this tense air you brought with since you came in. What's wrong with you, anyway?" Pierre just stares at the window beside his seat in the classroom.
"Don't tell me… Is there any condition she put you trough for her to agree with the bet?" Instead of answering; Pierre takes out a piece of paper that was used in his and Sophie's conversation earlier and handed it to Ron. The bell rang appoints that it's already the time for the students to start their morning classes; Ron kept it in his pocket as he walk to his seat.
"The teacher's here…" the monitor said to the whole class as Ms. Woo walks into the room.
"Good Morning, Ms. Woo." Right when the teacher assigns the students to take some notes on the whiteboard; Ron took out the note.
"…. For that, I'll have another condition; in any circumstances you're prohibited to have any feeling to me… our relationship just are plain friends... and I'm sure you're really okay with that." Ron spontaneously looks at Pierre that was already focusing on the class; as always.
"This guy…" A guilt and pity feeling towards his friend were spreading inside of Ron's without he being realize of it.
It was recess when Ron approached his friend in the library;
"It's kind of a rare scene seeing you coming here, Ron."
"You know why I'm here; I even skip my meal for you. Here; take this note back." He passes the note he's been saving in his pocket since this morning.
"Thanks…" he takes the piece of paper and stares at it for a moment before tucks it in his notebook neatly. Ron takes the opportunity to search the area for a chance to finally see this 'rare' Sophie who has been taming his friend's 'book made' heart.
"What are you doing? There's nothing to look at here accept for books."
"…And Sophie… I'm just being curious about how she looks like; come on… let me take a peek at her… I promise I won't do or say anything weird."
"It's a useless effort Ron; she's not in today… "
"Eh? Wasn't you guess have an agreement? How can she be absent today; how about the plan?"
"It will be proceeding as how it's been plan… maybe just postponing it for now…"
"Didn't she say anything to you for her absent today?"
"She said she got some family matters need to be settle and will be attending school by next week." Pierre gaze seems weaker as his eyes still fix on the same page since Ron step in earlier.
"Hey, you're okay; man?"
Ron gets out of the library to get Pierre's books from his bags as he asks him to go to the canteen first to get some refreshments. As he was walking pass by the empty classroom on his way to their classroom, he heard some noise coming from one of the rooms there. When he was about to investigate on it; he saw a girl with glasses walking weakly out of the classroom and vanish in the corridor.
"What?!?"
'What was that?' he started to freak out and run as fast he can down stair towards the canteen; without Pierre's book.
Pierre felt weird with his friend's reaction earlier; even when they're already in class, he still looks shock.
"Ron? Are you okay? You look really weird today…"
"I saw… something…."
"What?"
