6 A Weird Interest 1 (1/2)

Classes in the morning ended. Many students hurriedly left their classroom for the cafeteria, and the two friends Wendy and Sofony were no exception.

”What should we buy?”

”Just a Spanish bread for me, it's sad being broke, I really have to find a part-time job.”

”Is that so, Sofony? How about you be my tutor and I have my mom pay you per hour?”

Sofony laughed, ”You kidding? The smartest girl in the world needs a tutor? Wendy, you are the grade's rank first, and the school's brainy queen!”

They walked side by side as they strode to the canteen. They passed by several rooms and Wendy saw many students in their year level pointing at Sofony.

”Fine, I don't need one.” Wendy laughingly replied to Sofony's previous speech.

”I perfectly know. If there's someone who need one though, please recommend me to them. Maybe I could do that as apart-time.” Sofony sighed.

”Girl, stop sighing. Though I don't know what is worrying you so much, only knowing that you'll never fess up to me, I'm at least still here. Cheer up. And I saw many boys talking behind us.”

Sofony's brow rose. ”Oh? They are probably checking you out since you're one of the goddesses of our campus.”

”They are. But not only me. I think some are very interested with the beauty next to me who suddenly transformed.”

Wendy watched her friend blinked and frowned. However the girl didn't say anything to follow up.

'Haha, Sofony's cute but she probably won't admit it. She's been hiding behind her eyeglasses and weird getup for so long that she could no longer believe she's also beautiful, especially without that thing blocking her bright eyes.'

Wendy giggled to herself. They had now reached the dining area, and of course they were still gathering attention. It's just sad that her friend was probably assuming it's only Wendy turning people's head their way. She's way too lacking in the confidence department.

The cafeteria was indeed stirred by the appearance of two beauties. About Wendy Gomez, it's a daily thing to her. Wendy was known to be a beautiful and smart lady. She's aware of it and was already used to the attention. Sofony was a different story, though. People were now marveling at her beauty and were in constant discussion of how they only found out about this quiet goddess.

”Sofony, go reserve that empty table for us. I'll order for the both of us,” Wendy said to her best friend.

”You know my order already,” the girl awkwardly laughed. ”Sorry for the bother.”

Wendy didn't mind though, and she didn't take the Spanish bread order seriously. Wendy planned to buy her friend a decent meal out of her own pocket. Anyways, Sofony wouldn't be able to refuse once Wendy already paid for it.

Sofony sat down on the table her friend had chosen and put her handkerchief on the chair next to her to mark it as a reserved seat for Wendy. Once done, her mind went to who knows where as she brainstorm on how she'd deal with getting a part-time.

'Maybe I should just try giving out flyers on the weekends. It doesn't pay much but it's okay. Then I'll find some restaurants that need extra help every evening. I could also be a tutor whenever possible.'

'Thankfully, I upgraded my intelligence and studying skills. I should be good enough for that.'

'System, do you have some opinions there?'

As usual, within three seconds, a reply came, <System: Your points are down to 324. Do you want some missions?>

'If it's something immoral, no thanks. Yes please, if it's about decent money-making.'

The system sneered.

<System: Host, allow me to announce this now. You raked in so many points last time because most of your experiences back then are your first. There's a bonus because of that. And because it's also your first, there's no punishment for not completing it perfectly. Remember the last mission issued? You should be thankful there's no punishment given.>

Sofony's heart was alarmed. She felt like the system was going to say something unwelcome next.

<System: I'm sure you're done adapting now, so let me clarify some rules now.>

<System: First, your next experience will no longer garner as much Pleasure Points as your first time.>
