Chapter 19: Yes that would be me

"Dili" I said in a low yet deadly tone.

"Yes?" The grinning idiot beside me responded.

"I'm soo going to kill you" I growled out in frustration.

He waved his hands dismissively smirking "Promises, promises"

"Oh trust me I plan to keep those 'promises' you speak of" I huffed out in annoyance.

"Aw come on. Don't be angry na" He said with a pout. And dare I say he actually looked hella cute doing that.

I clinched my teeth together, his words aggrievating me the more "Don't be angry!?" I whisper yelled. "You took me to a friggin' park"

"Yeah I don't see anything wrong in what I did"

I scoffed glaring at him "Of course there is nothing wrong. Only that you didn't bring it to my attention that we were meeting your friends also!" I looked to the direction where his friends were. The four of them were laughing among themselves. Each sitting down on their individual chairs under a small fancy open hut. They didn't see us though. As we were standing a little bit far from where they were.

"Well I did tell you that you won't be too happy about were I was taking you didn't I?. That at least has to count as something right?" A cheeky smile planted itself on his face. My glare intensified.

Yet again I sighed "You're insufferable this boy"

"Nonsense, I'm sure you love me"

I only responded to him with a glare "Ok, ok. Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But if I had told you, would you have come with me?" He tired to reason.

I looked the other way and muttered "No"

"Exactly. I had to get you out of your house, one way or the other. Staying in the confinement of your home isn't exactly what you'd call healthy" He spoke in a calm tone.

"But you of all people know I'm not great with people" I mumbled, but was seeing where he was coming from.

"Of course Rica. But remember you said, you'll start trying?" Great using my own words against me. Freaking fantastic.

I groaned out "Fineeee"

"But just so you know, I don't want to stay for too long. 10 minutes tops" I said with finality.

"Thirty" He said.

"Fifteen" I frowned.

"Come on! Twenty five, at least" I wasn't going to bludge.

"Fifteen is all you get, bruh" I shrugged.

I then spotted a bemused smile on his face "Bruh? Really?"

I chuckled out a little "So fifteen minutes?"

"Fine you win" He groaned "Fifteen minutes it is. Now can we go. They all eagerly want to meet you" Because I could ask him why they were so eager to meet me, Dili grabbed my hand and took of walking, dragging me along side him.

"Guy how fr" was the first thing one of them said. Well specifically what one of the boy's said. You see Dili's group of friends consist of Two boy and two girls. Well plus Dili making it Three boys.

(Pidgin English, How far- is like another word for 'Hey' or 'How are you')

"Yo" Dili greeted all of them.

'Hi's' and 'Hey's' could be heard as a response from all of them.

"And would this be the girl that got drink poured all over her?" One of the girls said. The hostility in her eyes made me to easily believe she didn't like me one bit.

I saw Dili frown from the corner of my eyes at the girl "Fav..." He started to speak but I cut him short. Even surprising myself by my actions.

With the biggest and brightest fake grin I could offer I spoke. "Yes, that would be me" all of them apart from that one girl, each had an amused smile on their face at my words. I could already imagine Dili's surprised face after what I said.

The sudden confident was unexpected. Me that was always shy and reserved was talking back sarcastically at someone else? I really was changing.

The hostility in her eyes immediately vanished and a smirk replaced it "I like her" She said to Dili.

It seemed like Dili relaxed a little at her words.

Then he smirked also before saying "I knew you would"
