The Only Delicacy - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

With Kyle holding her hand, Scarlet speedily ran towards the finish line, which was her 1st year high school classroom, and immediately opened banged the door open.

However, when she banged the door open, all the chatting within the classroom had stopped and all the students looked towards her direction, curious as to who made such a noise or if there was an emergency.

When she saw that the teacher’s table was clearly empty, Scarlet became very relieved and looked at the clock. The time was one minute before one o’clock, making her mentally say to herself, “Yes! I’m not late.”

From the students’ perspectives, they saw their number one beauty in the school, who was panting and sweating like she had just ran a marathon, holding hands with one of the hottest, smartest, and most popular men in school, who was Kyle. Meanwhile, Kyle had not displayed one bit of sweat. Instead, his gaze softened while he affectionately looked at the girl and his aura seemed pink, filled with all kinds of flowers, especially red roses, and red hearts.

Well, literally speaking, the only popular and godly men in the school would be the twins, Kyle and Kevin.

Right then and there, the students inside the classroom were in an uproar at the sudden public display of affection between these two love birds.

Most boys, who were angrily glared like they were nothing but insects due to just giving their crush a lunch box or some snacks, silently murmured, “Finally, the shy guy is making a move! Instead of glaring at us, why don’t you just say so?”

These boys were currently enraged and annoyed at how childish and immature their boss or idol, Kyle, was. They had waited patiently for a whole week by not bothering their crush, because their leader or idol had the same crush as them. But, after waiting for the whole week, their patience was slowly but also speedily declining.

Kyle had not made a move for so long! He looked like he stared at her out of boredom! How could they be blamed for their actions?

Indeed, they were just pitiful teenage boys who needed love, affection, and, most of all, girlfriends.

If the number one beauty and brains in the school had no one as a partner, then who could blame them for their desperate measures?

Even though they really wanted to vent their annoyance and anger towards the main culprit who had been the main cause of these misunderstandings, Kyle was still their mighty and dangerous leader who had yet to even taste the feeling of defeat. Hence, they could do nothing more, but keep a grudge.

Once they found the opportunity, victory shall be theirs.

But, of course, not all boys thought like that, only a few. Most who did not want to die early had no choice but to keep the grudge to themselves, despite there being an opportunity. Because, compared to someone like that of a level of a god, they were but peasants.

Hence, the boys could only be disappointed. This explained why all the boys were currently keeping their mouth shut, as if mourning for a great loss.

Meanwhile, several of the girls were currently jealous, but most of them were very joyful at the sudden public display of affection. Ever since they first saw Kyle exchanging seats with Scarlet’s seatmate and then staring at her for the whole day, they knew that he had fell in love with her. It was too obvious.

That day was the most unfortunate, yet also fortunate, event in their whole life.

If the most god-like and the most handsome student of the school liked someone who was also on par with him, even they could not bully the girl. They were too perfect for each other. All they could do was to stare straight at them, like they were watching some sort of drama.

And enjoy the show.

Some girls even became their loyal fans and took note of their every movement by bringing a pen, a paper, a notebook, a cell phone and a camera wherever they went. Through those items, they would make their daily blogs, posts, and fan stories about their idols.

Sometimes, most of them would even go as far as to stalk the two. But, since their idols constantly stayed in the classroom for the whole day, they sadly could not show off their ‘paparazzi skills.’

For the past week, the girls barely participated in classes and were just satisfied with watching their innocent display of affection. Some even felt sorry for Kyle, thereby mentally encouraging him to do his best and to just go for it.

But, today was an entirely different story!

These two came together! Not only that, they were holding hands too!

One girl silently but also excitedly murmured to the other, “Kya! Hey, hey! What had just happened? Am I seeing things?” Another girl also silently but excitedly answered back while trembling, “Kya! No! Idiotic sister friend, you are not seeing things! It’s finally happening! Did the world go topsy-turvy?!”

Another girl in the far side of the corner asked her best friend in an unknowingly loud voice, “Oh. My. Goosebumps! What in the world did I just miss? Didn’t we record their every move and action?”

The friend she was asking immediately became frantic and slightly sweated while eyeing her to quickly shut up.

However, as if she had not seen her best friend’s gesture at all, she continued with a louder voice while pointing towards the door, “How did they end up like that?!”

This time, from energetic and excited, the atmosphere became deadly silent, like there was no racket since the very beginning. Everyone stopped their excited gossips and murmurs, quieted down, and looked towards that loud girl’s direction, including the two oblivious love birds that were in the midst of different thoughts.

Her best friend quietly but angrily replied while slapping her mouth shut, “Shush, you goosebump of a fool! You’re too loud again.” She extremely blushed while saying that. Her only idiotic best friend, the vice president of their idol’s fan base, had just spilled the beans about their base’s operation in front of their own idols!

Therefore, she could not do anything but be extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

However, her stupid friend was persistent. She would not let go of such a sweet and delicious once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! So, she continued excitedly and whispered while covering one side of her mouth to not be seen by her idols, “Hey, Jojo! Do you know how they ended up like that? Tell me, pleaaasee!”

This time, the girl that was past embarrassed, like a vulnerable rabbit, had immediately shouted back towards her like a viscous tiger, “Nene, how many times do I have to tell you ‘I don’t know!’ Get it? I do NOT know!”

After she vented her anger while standing up and glaring at her friend like she was about to explode from anger, all the students shifted their gazes from that past girl, Nene, to her own self.

As best friends for a long time, they were definitely birds of the same feather.

When she had realized what she had done, Jojo immediately blushed while instinctively looking towards her idols who were also currently looking at her with one amused and one confused gazes.

For the first time in her life, she wanted to die!

However, the most logical thing to do would be to run away. And that was just what she did. As fast as the speed of lightning, Jojo speedily ran in a bee line from her seat towards the hallway, while entirely covering her extremely red face.

Meanwhile, the main culprit, Nene, was now literally guilty at her abrupt, excited, and thoughtless actions. However, she could not continue to feel guilty anymore, because the whole class was now looking towards her direction!

“You never once told me, ‘I don’t know!’ How could I even ‘get it?’ Get it?!” Even though she wanted to shout at her best friend, Nene angrily exclaimed in her mind, because Jojo had ran away before she could even retaliate.

Therefore, instead of feeling guilty, Nene held a deep grudge for her best friend, Jojo, the president of their idols’ loyal fan base, and mentally exclaimed with anger like she was shouting out to the whole world, “She’s the president! She was supposed to look after her own members. But, look at her now! Actually abandoning me while I fend for myself!”

However, no matter how much she mentally screamed, the students would only see her face reddening and reddening with her body trembling, nothing more.

While she was currently lost in thinking of all sorts of ways to murder her own best friend, Nene literally forgot that she was the center of attention. But fortunately for her, not everyone was staring and focusing at her embarrassing state.

In fact, the beings called, ‘girls’ were like supernatural beings, having eyes on both the front and back.

Therefore, some girls immediately noticed the next actions their beloved idols had made; making them shocked all the more and thus, unknowingly helping the girl, Nene, from making further embarrassment.
