"Stella", hearing a familiar voice Stella turned around merrily but her expression changed that to annoyed seeing the person beside her best friend Ji-ho.
Ji-ho along with Sun Jung came over to our table and asked," Am I interrupting your date ?"
"He is not my date he is umm-", Stella replied.
"A neighbour.", I said to complete her sentence.
"Yeah, so feel free to join", said Stella.
The square table had one chair on each side so the pair sat opposite to each other. I was facing Stella and Sun Jung was opposite Ji-ho.
Ji-ho looked at me with sparkling eyes and said, "You are quite the looker, to be honest, what's your name "
"Kael", I said.
"Kael huh, does it have a specific meaning to it ?", she asked.
"Hmm, not really just a mythological figure who was a member of Fionn mac Cumhaill's warrior band, the Fianna; at least that's what was written in the book.", I replied.
"That's what's written in the book you say? do you have a different opinion ?", she inquired.
"Not really, it's not like am the same Kael from mythology, what's the point in inquiring in detail !", I replied with a warm smile.
"Yeah, right !", she said.
"So Ji-ho", called out Stella in frustration.
"Yes, your honour", Exclaimed Ji-ho sensing the tension in her bestie's voice.
"Who is this guy ?", Stella asked while pointing at Sun Jung like he was some sought of shit.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce my new friend here, his name is Ryuk-Sun Jung and he helped me a great deal some time ago, also I owed him a dinner so I brought him here and fortunately met you.", replied Ji-ho.
"(Hi)", I greeted him in Korean and waved my hand at him. I might know all the languages but am not familiar with the ethics that come along with them.
"(Hello)", he replied and was about to add something when Stella interrupted.
"What good is he, don't be deceived by his appearance, he is a frigging stalker", Said Stella facing Ji-ho while her index finger was pointing towards Sun Jung.
"That, I wasn't stalking you or anything, it was just that we crossed paths numerous times and as my benefactor, I considered greeting you, that's why as to avoid any misunderstanding I stayed in my dorms the whole day today", He said justifying his previous actions though that didn't work.
"Really, well guess what you Squirrel-shit I also stayed in my dorms the whole day too", replied Stella aggressively.
"Ok, ok! Stella calm down, I know him and he is not that type of guy, there must be some sought of misunderstanding.
"Please Stella", pleaded Ji-ho.
"If it's you who says that I'll calm down but I have still not forgiven him.", said Stella.
"Let me order something for you guys, would a burger and fries work ?", I asked in order to cool down the situation.
"Y-yeah that would be perfect", said Ji-ho and Sun Jung added, "Sure".
I stood up left the heated environment and went over to the counter.
"Excuse me !", I said and in response, a dulcet voice of a girl resounded from behind the curtains of the kitchen, "Just a moment, please!".
After a few seconds, what came into my view was an extremely beautiful girl, chose charm was hidden due to her being excessively skinny, she had red hairs that seemed like they were made up of the purest form of blood itself and the verdant green eyes of hers that had their charm.
She was about one hundred and fifty centimetres and wore a first-year cadet uniform which was dark blue and had purple stripes in it.
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) "What would you like to order sir ?", she asked.
"You !", I muttered under my breath.
"Sorry ?", she exclaimed as she couldn't hear what I just said.
"Wasn't there a boy here just now ?", I inquired.
"Umm, yeah, you're talking about Boris? actually, he is the chef here and also the owner of this place, I just got a job from him and was supposed to start today but got a little late", She replied.
I chuckled and muttered, "A little late ?", the cafeteria was about to close in an hour, it was bedtime for cadets according to the academy.
"Ah- my order is for two burgers and regular fries", I said.
"Two burgers and fries coming right up !", she said and was about to leave when Stella shouted from behind, "One regular fries for me too !"
The girl halted her steps and looked at me with a questioning gaze.
"You heard her !", I said.
"Two burgers and three regular fries coming right up", saying that she left.
After a few moments, the same girl carrying a big tray with two burgers and regular fries stepped out of the kitchen.
"Here is your order, enjoy your meal sir !", she said.
"No need for the pleasantries 'My lady', we are both first years", I said.
"To me, you're a customer and you aren't wearing your uniform sir, you are in casuals", she replied.
'Too much ethics for a person who got late on the first day of her job', I thought.
"That's harsh", I said with a grin.
She laughed and said," It is what it is"
"Work ethics huh !", I said.
"Yup", she nodded her head.
"Ah- and one last thing !", I said while holding a tray with my left hand and snapping the finger of my right hand.
"Yes ?", She turned around.
"If it isn't too much, may I know your name ?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure. My name's Ruby Leplay", She said and added, "What's yours ?"
"A name befitting your appearance aye, my name's Kael Hashirae", I replied.
"I take that as a compliment, and that's a cool surname too", Ruby said.
"And I take that as a compliment, by the way; are you single ?", I asked.
"Hmm, what's this? You wanna go out on a date with me ?", she asked leaning forward to the desk and resting her chin on her left hand.
"That was supposed to be my question, but, yeah I would love to", I said.
"Are you available next Sunday ?", She asked. That would be in seven days because today is Sunday.
"Anytime you feel comfortable", I replied.
"Then the next Sunday it is", she winked at me and left.
I approached my table after Ruby left I approached my table and kept the tray in the centre.
"Took you long enough, how was she ?", asked Stella.
"Beautiful, alluring, charming, attractive, delightful, appealing, lovely, dulcet, and much more", I replied.
Hearing my reply Stella was shocked, Ji-ho was smiling teasingly and Sun Jung was horrified. Wait, horrified? Oh, yeah; I forgot about his system's inspection skill, must have used it on me, Poor Guy.
