Chapter 24 - Revenge 23: Again and Again, Same Result (1/2)
~Sunday afternoon at the Pheonix Mall~
”I thought it's just gonna be the three of us?” Aaron looked at the two new faces that are in front of him. Two males, one has black hair and the other has reddish-brown hair, both look handsome and fit.
”It's supposed to be TWO, but you tagged along. I'm being considerate here you know? I don't want you to be the only guy coming along with us, people might think you're gay if you're with us doing girly stuff... or perhaps you're really a...” Nathalia gasped with both hands in her hands before continuing, ”...gay?”
”I am not!” Aaron growled, clearly, he's very pissed off by Nathalia's claim of his s.e.x.u.a.l preference.
Before the situation goes overboard Anna spoke up to change the subject, ”So who are they?” Nathalia's eyes lit up in excitement and introduced the two young men.
”Josh Visser, the silent one.” Nathalia pointed out the guy with black hair. In Anna's own opinion, Josh looked like a wild untamed playboy. Nathalia saw how Anna stared at Josh and already know what she's thinking, ”He's not one of those playboys, he may look like one but he's just a nerdy type of a guy.” Anna found it hard to believe her but she just nods in the end. ”This one is the very childish one, Zen Fischer. This guy causes so many troubles for everyone around but he's fun to be with. I already told them about you, no need for you to introduce yourself.”
”It's really a pleasure to meet you, Anna.” Zen flashed a smile on Anna. Zen has a baby face and that smile just made Anna wanna pinch his face out of cuteness. 'Control yourself, Anna. You're not close enough to do that to him yet. If fate agrees that the both of you can become close friends you can do that him!'
”Okay! Enough chit-chatting! Let's go!” Nathalia said in a hyper tone and pulled Anna's hand.
The first thing that the five of them went into is the arcade. Combining both of Anna's two lives this is the first time she went here. In her first life when she was still with Rebecca her 'friend' they only went to boutiques and beauty stores. She never got the experience of having fun inside the arcade, there was a time that she asked for them to go but Rebecca just said to her that its inappropriate for a girl like them to go such place and that it could only ruin their image.
Now that she thinks about its such a lame excuse coming from Rebecca. Anna just shook her head, disappointed in herself for believing Rebecca.
While the others were discussing on what they should do first, Nathalia noticed that Anna is staring at the basketball game. 'Hmmm... Maybe she wants to try that first?' after thinking for a while Nathalia spoke, ”How about trying that first? Since Anna has been eyeing on that for a while.” Pointing out the game with her finger and the rest of them nodded in agreement.
Anna got startled when Nathalia mentioned her name she wasn't purposely staring at the basketball game she was just deep in her thoughts, that's all. ”H-huh? I am not. We can just try for another one.”
”Come on! Don't deny it! Let's go! Let's try it!”
Once again Nathalia pulled Anna in front of the game.
”I don't really know how to shoot the ball though.” Anna said in a low tone loud enough for the four of them to hear.
”It's just for fun. It doesn't matter if you're good at it or not.” He said that but in his eyes, it showed competitiveness. In fact, Zen also had the same shine in his eyes too. Looks like this two likes to be competitive.
