Chapter 5

Eric and Nasani alongside Ann had gone to the close by restaurants immediately after they were told about the postponed lecture. These three seemed not to be an academic freaks.

Jessica was seated in the back seat close to Bethel while Ray rode them to the restaurant.

Just as they stepped down from the car, Eric, Ann, and Nasani were busy laughing as they saw them coming inside the restaurant through the transparent door.

Jessica's disguised steps were so funny that even Bethel and Ray had to laugh at her. Jessica was not used to cat-walking, she disguised her walking steps when she discovered that the restaurant she was going to was full of rich people and not a poor girl like her. She taught of taking the best and most romantic steps like Ann and Bethel but she failed. The more she was trying to adjust to a suitable one the more she was missing her steps. She finally arrived at the transparent door of the restaurant.

Only one person could enter through the door at a time which means two people could not enter at once. Jessica was about to sneak through the transparent door as Bethel was entering but the A. I device rejected her and told her to come in after. Unfortunately, bethel had gone inside. She was only left outside with her number one nemesis, Ray, and going through the door was like magic to her.

Jessica stood in disgrace in front of the door, feeling shy to ask Ray for help. This moment didn't go unnoticed by Eric, Ann, and Nasani.

Ray moved closer to her and whispered, "You move closer to the door, then it will open"

Jessica moved to the door after Ray helped her with the tips and didn't even thank him. She doesn't care about his fake care.

She was rejected over and over before Ray took her hand and motioned her to the transparent door and that was when she could enter through the transparent door. It was then she taught Ray deserved a 'thank you' for staying with her and guiding her through the door.

Ray also went inside the restaurant with shame. Ray was a big boy, the number one fine boy on the whole campus. He was so shy to be so close to Jessica but he had no choice.

Nasani and Ann were seated on a table while Bethel and Eric were seated on another table.

Jessica was seated on a table too which could only fit two persons like others but Ray was so embarrassed to go near to her. Moreover, they were a lot of girls in the restaurant who were crushing on Ray. Ray didn't know if Jessica would welcome him or not. This restaurant was big and open, unlike the party that was so enveloped with a lot of activities. A little embarrassment would surely be noticed so Ray was very mindful of that. Bethel winked at Jessica from a distant and gestured with her palms. It was then Ray could move closer to Jessica and sat down opposite her.

Ray now knew that he could not get all he wanted with his money and ' fine boy'. He knew he needed some manners to approach Jessica. Ray knew if it was not for Jessica's poor background, she's better than the girls he had met so far in life. Ray had always wanted a girl who could stand on her own without looking at her boyfriend's pocket. He respected such ladies because they are rare. Despite how poor Jessica was she still stood by her word and could reject what she hated, this alone earned her respect for Jessica.

" I am sorry for the other time, Jessica" Ray spoke in a warm tone.

" It's nothing, Ray, thanks for taking me through the transparent door" Jessica responded.

Ray smiled as the memory flashed through his mind once again. " It's nothing too, Jessica"

Ray ordered for a chicken sandwich and some pepper meats. Ice cream was also settled on the table for refreshments.

" Do you have a boyfriend?" Ray asked Jessica and curled his lips.

" No, I don't" Jessica responded and interviewed the ice cream in front of her. She seemed not to know what that means.

Ray marveled at her response. He was carried away by the fact that Jessica didn't have a single boyfriend despite how poor she is and yet, she was still rejecting his offer. This girl seems weird - he taught.

" Have you had one before?" Ray asked again before being taken from his ice cream.

" No, I am always single" Jessica added. She wished to sip the ice cream but she wasn't used to it. Ray might laugh at her again.

Ray wondered how a beautiful girl like her could be single all this while. He guessed that guys might have been coming to her but she kept on rejecting them just as she did to him. Jessica seemed special with her beauty. Ray vowed to know what was so special about her.

" Can you be my girlfriend for just two months?" Ray asked again.

" No, Ray!" Jessica interjected.

" But why? I am the finest and richest boy in our school so what do you want in a guy that I don't have?" Ray asked treacherously, little did he know that this pissed Jessica off.

Jessica hated it when Ray feel so important than others and that was the main reason why Jessica would not date him for two months. Jessica was a newbie who knew nothing about love but she knew the kind of guy she wanted. She wanted this cool guy who would be humble and nice, unlike Ray. All she wanted in a guy wasn't what Ray had.

" I am sorry, Ray, I can only be your friend for two months" Jessica added.

Ray felt so bad after Jessica rejected him for the second time. He was pissed off for begging a girl of a low caliber like her because of the game. He chose to act fast else his father's company would be taken.
