Chapter 11 - Michelle Fey (2/2)

”I am here to complete my business assignment.” Rachel responded in a hostile tone.

At this point I am not sure whether they are just like this or that they hate each other beforehand. I never really wrote anything about there being a history between the two.

”Heya, Simon? What do I do for the profit diagram part...? I am not sure whether a pie chart or a column graph is more effective in showing what I want to display.” Rachel nervously asked.

”Use both.. actually, use both of them and a table. Make everything available for the teacher to mark. Never hurts to add more RELEVANT information.” I calmly advised.

”Okay!” She smiled as she got back to work.

”So what are we ordering?” I asked.

”We can probably get the 'Pier's Catch'. That's what this place is known for, and it can fill 4 people easily.” Michelle confidently spoke.

”Hmmm... I agree, this seems like a good choice.” James said plainly.

Michelle turned to James Who was sitting beside her and started to strike up a conversation. ”So you must be the '10' that Simz got for me... you seem good... what are your interests?”

”I study swordsmanship and art.” James calmly responded.

”Pffft!”

”So plain, so simple, so... BORING.”

”HEY! Stop being so mean to James!” Rachel shouted.

This is to be expected, Michelle is very aggressive and domineering compared to Rachel who is more kind and virtuous.

”Yes, please not at the table.” I calmly spoke.

”James, are you all good?” I asked kindly.

”Yes, I am fine.” James smiles at me, showing that he didn't actually mind.

Michelle is starting to piss me off now... she just called my beautifully written protagonist 'boring'. This is a direct slap in the face for an author! F.U.C.K!

”Well seeing that you helped saved my sister, thank you James. But this will be the last time we have lunch together.”

CRACK

Soon after, we ordered a few drinks and the main dish. Nothing else really happened afterwards, I just helped Rachel with her business assignment while the other two didn't mind each other.

I just hope the stakes aren't bad...
