Chapter 163: Friend Zone
Yera’s words kept on bugging Rizzie’s mind while she sat in front of Dion, that made her sneakily stare at Dion every once in a while during dinner. ’Nah, what’s with Yera? Gosh it won’t happen!’ she kept musing and brushing such thoughts out of her head.
Then she would sigh unconsciously. ’Why am I even getting affected with her teasing. Geez...’ Rizie complained inwardly.
"You don’t like the food?" Dion asked in knitted brows because he noticed Rizie was spacing out the whole time like she had some kind of problem. "Are you alright?" he asked next when Rizie did not respond.
"Hello!!!" He reiterated with his hand waving before Rizie’s face, waking her up from daydreaming perhaps? He wondered what was running in her mind because she seemed to be in a deep thought with a confused expression on her face.
"Rizzzz..." he called her once more and this time he snapped his fingers.
"Huh?" Rizie who finally noticed him mumbled.
"Are you alright? You seem so out of yourself." He snapped. "Look at your food, isn’t it good? You have only had three or four bites." He added with concern. He was getting worried because this was not like Rizie at all. She was always lively and loud, in fact so loud often, that he felt like covering his ears when she started.
Rizie stared at him directly without blinking an eye then she frowned as she opened her mouth and talked straightforwardly, "We are friends right?"
Confused with the sudden question Dion subconsciously nodded.
Rizie narrowed her eyes then continued, "We should remain friends and no one should fall for each other okay? I don’t want our friendship to get destroyed like others because of romantic involvement with each other. I want our relationship to remain as it is."
’Fu*ck! Is this what they refer to as friend zoning?’ Dion mused cursing. He did not expect something would suddenly occur like this. He did not even know how he should react to those statements of Rizie.
