"Why is it taking so long," said Amelie, pulling up an empty chair nearby and beckoning her newly arrived brother to sit down immediately.
"There are a lot of people who are using the bathroom of the restaurant, that's what makes me stay longer," replied Sebastian, whom I used to call Mr. B, as he sat down on the chair prepared by Amelie, I pretended to look away. After sitting down, he glanced at me briefly as he nudged Amelie's arm.
"Ah, so you see, you were in the bathroom for a long time, and the restaurant employee offered to share the table. Well, instead of waiting for an empty table for too long, I agreed. Coincidentally, it turned out that the one who shared the table with us was my best friend. Introduce, this is El, he is in the same class with me, " explained Amelie, pointing at me. I smiled at Sebastian.
"El, for your information, I used to call my brother Bastian, I've called him that since we were both little," Amelie continued, nudging Sebastian's arm. Treated so, Sebastian immediately looked at his sister, "what the hell, Bastian? Amelie glared back at Sebastian, "I'm sure you forgot Bastian, you've met him before," Amelie said with a small laugh. I smiled at the sight of these brothers. I heard Sebastian quietly whisper to Amelie,"are you kidding me, when did I meet this friend of yours?"
"Oh my god... What a habit you have! Amelie glared back at her brother, then said to me, "I'm sorry, El, my brother is indeed very difficult to remember the faces and names of new people. It's quite another one!"Amelie rolled her eyes, making me hold back laughter, while Sebastian cleared his throat slowly. All of a sudden Amelie complained, it seemed that Sebastian had just kicked her leg under the table. Amelie pursed her lips as she muttered softly to Sebastian, ' it hurts to know!'
I was amused to see the funny interaction between Sebastian and Amelie.
"It's good to see you again, I'm Raveline, who was lost far away during the night explore event on campus ..."I finally introduced myself again. In my heart, I was relieved that Sebastian found it hard to remember new people, which meant he wouldn't recognize me as Rosaline! What a relief.
"Ah? Raveline ... ? I have trouble remembering new people unless I've met them before."Sebastian said without smiling.
I smiled, "It's okay, it's not important at all."
"Hmm, don't try to seduce ... what do you mean by that? Do you want to see El more often, just so you can remember?"Amelie joked with a laugh, making Sebastian chuckle and pinch Amelie's cheek with excitement.
While waiting for our order, Amelie and I started chatting. Every now and then I glanced at Sebastian who was focused on his phone. He must be busy, I thought.
Suddenly, my backup phone vibrated again. Who else this time?
"Miss Rose? Are you busy? Why is my message Only Read?"
Reading the incoming message from Sebastian instantly made my eyes widen. I had no idea that the message that had just come in was from Sebastian. Jesus Christ! Turns out the message was from Mr. B, I mean, Sebastian. I almost choked with surprise.
"Why, El?"Amelie asked, looking at me in surprise," is there an important message? Why is your face so surprised? I quickly shook my head, "ah, no... just a scamming message, " I replied.
"Surely the content of the message is useless, huh?"said Amelie with a big smile. I smiled awkwardly, "yes, that kind of thing," I said, stealing a glance at Sebastian who was still seriously looking at his phone. Is it possible that he is waiting for a response from me?
Out of curiosity, I tried to reply to Sebastian's message. "I'm sorry, Mr. B,I've been a little busy. I was waiting in line for a place to have dinner," I replied originally, just wondering how he would react.
Amelie and I were still chatting, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sebastian suddenly smile as his phone rang. A sweet smile formed on her naturally red lips. Geez, he's a man, but why can his lips be so naturally pink? He's a heavy smoker, even though he smokes a lot!
"Heh, smile-smile yourself! You now have a boyfriend!"Amelie seemed to notice that her brother suddenly smiled to himself while looking at the screen of his mobile phone.
Sebastian turned his head with a wry smile, "what the hell? The kids are starting to talk here."
My phone vibrated again. Another message from Sebastian.
Oh, my god... we were at the same table, but Sebastian didn't realize that Rose was actually texting him since it was me in front of him. I can't help but laugh.
"Eh? Raveline? What's wrong with you? Now who else can you message, El? How does it seem to make you so happy?"This time Amelie looked at me suspiciously.
"Ah? It's just ... a message from an old friend. The message it's quite funny..."I'm trying to give a reason.
I quickly read Sebastian's message. "The restaurant must be good, until the queue is so long. I also had to wait in line to get a table."Then a photo was sent by Sebastian. A picture of the table in front of him. Of course it's my table too.
"What did you order for dinner, Mr. B?"I typed a reply quickly, then sent it immediately.
"El, I want to go to the bathroom first... It won't be long."Amelie then stood up from her seat.
"Want some company?"I offered myself. Amelie shook her head, "no, El. I was afraid for a long time, um, my stomach was suddenly heartburn..."he whispered half-laughing. "Hmm, habit," Sebastian muttered without taking his eyes off his phone.
"Go ahead, just focus on your phone, Bastian!"Amelie replied while hitting her brother on the shoulder. Sebastian not giving any reaction. He still focused on his phone.
