Chapter 27 - The F.u.c.k was that?! - Charlotte and Chris (1/2)

I looked at the female highschooler and it tells me that she got this kind of princess complex going on. The short skirt, heavy make-up, painted nails and that fake extensions say it all. I don't even need to see her appearance, just that short sentence she blurted earlier reveals it.

However, I know that some of them only have that outer shell you need to break to see who they really are. I'm having a sense that it's just a strong front looking at the black marks on the back of her hands and the traces of eyeliner fading out in her face sideways.

”She must be crying a lot, without notice from him. It's still troublesome to deal with this type though.” I said to myself.

Looking at the guy, he looks like a very simple dude, aside from that machete on his hand.

He gave a long sigh but he continued, ”Sir, her family is away and we don't have a place to go to, we'd also contribute at your place since she doesn't want to go to the DDR camps. I'd do her part too, as long as you take us in.”

”Just lost her mom but he's still thinking about her?” I said to myself.

”No! We're staying at this place!” she exclaimed.

A few of the crowd is showing disdain towards the girl as she keeps on running her mouth. I looked at the guy but he just shows concern towards her.

”You guys dating?” I said flatly.

The girl glared at me while the boy scratches his head.

”No sir, we're just childhood friends.” he said.

I was about to take the two as well since I think could manage somehow but I pondered for a bit and I tried to test the waters.

”I'll only take one of you. Choose.” I said.

The group inside stared in shock. The two highschoolers were visibly shaken from my statement.

”Take her please! I'll go to the camps by myself!” he immediately answered.

His voice trembled and his knees are shaking but he still stood upright. The girl was also trembling but her face showed a hint of worry.

”Good answer, there was nary a pondering moment.” I said to myself.

”I changed my mind, how about you leave her here? Well, she did say that she wants to stay here and there's a lot of supplies here, right? I'll give you a gun too, how about it?” I said with a cold look. I even pulled the Glock out and placed it on the table.

”Sky, I think that this is too much.” Allan said.

I turned my head around Allan and then I signaled with a wink. He gave me a look of understanding and he immediately stopped talking. He even placed his hands in a position that says 'alright, I won't interfere.'

”I, ah- please take her instead!” he said again as he took a huge bow towards me then he started to kneel down, he's now shaking all over. The girl is now trembling and she's biting her lips and I'm seeing tears flowing in her cheeks but the guy is oblivious to that happening since he's in front of her.

”Is she a bitch deep down? Does she need one more push?” I asked myself.

”T-take him please! Just leave me here!” she blurted out. She then began to start bawling in front of everyone. The guy then looked behind and saw her crying her heart out. He stood up and started he started hugging her tight. It's like a cheesy movie that is so over the top, I almost cringed though I was relieved.

”As I expected the first time, kids these days.” I said to myself.

”I'm sorry Chris, I'm still being this bitch that everyone hates, I'm sorry... I-I'm-” she said.

”It's gonna be fine, we'll stay here if you want.” He said.

”You know that's the only truth that came out of your mouth today.” I said to the girl.

”What?” the girl stared at me as she said.
