Chapter 23: STAY AWAY, HUH?
And so, while Dove was in her own world looking at a nest of a bird, that was built on a branch of a tree next to the window. She was staring at the mother bird who had brought food for her chicks and was feeding them, while they eagerly ate.
THAAP!
Dove blinked when she saw someone put their hands on her desk, and turning her head, she found a girl glaring down at her. Dove blinked her eyes and said, "Rica, do you need something?" The girl named Rica looked at Dove and scoffed and said, "You, are acting all sweet and innocent, huh? But I understand girls like you very well. Trying to act like this for male's attention, huh!?"
Dove raised an eyebrow and she asked, "What do you mean?" And the girl named Rica sneered and she said, "Hah! Don't act all innocent, alright! Didn't you try to seduce Ben?! Or why would he try to give a bouquet of flowers!" She said with seething teeth.
Ben? Dove frowned as she tried to remember the name, and when she did, her eyebrows raised even higher. Oh! He was the guy from their senior section, who had confessed to her a couple days ago, and she had rejected him. And for once or twice, she had also heard that this girl named Rica liked him.
Dove causally shrugged and said, "It must be a misunderstanding, Rica. I and that guy are not related. Nor do I want to have to do with guys right now. And whatever he tried, I rejected it. So if you want him, you can keep him to you whole." Dove said what was in her mind.
But the way she said it made her sound as if she thought that both Rica and Ben were way below her league and she did not care what ever she did. And that really hurt Rica's ego. Well, anyway the second part was indeed what she thought. The next second, to everyone's shock, the Rica raised a water bottle and splashed the water in Dove's face.
