New Life : A Second Chance 550 The Second Crack

Ever since this girl transferred, it was as if she had a problem with her. Dina never disturbed her in any way yet, she seemed to find every opportunity to take a jab at her.

It made her 'work' of getting to Sari slightly more difficult.

"What's it to you?" Dina hissed, "Maybe you wouldn't know the concept of helping out a friend? Keeping a promise?"

Grace raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, "That's the promise YOU made, not her."

"Sari's my friend," Dina insisted, turning towards Sari, "Right, Sari? You wouldn't let me down at a time like this, would you?"

Sari hesitated.

Grace looked at her lazily, then rolled her eyes, leaving. However, she said as she pa.s.sed by Sari, "Know the difference between helping a friend, and helping yourself."

Sari looked at Grace retreating back in puzzlement. 

What did she mean about that?

Dina now focused back her attention towards Sari, her face looking all worried and pleading, "Please please? You just need to make the numbers. You don't have to do anything. We can leave quickly, too."

Sari sighed.

"When is it?"

"This evening, after school," Dina said eagerly.

"Just WHAT does Sir see in that stupid girl?!" Grace hissed again, sitting at a booth and watching the scene in front of her.

Kristi grabbed Grace by the back of the neck, brought her head down and banged her quickly once on the table before bringing her head back up.

Grace rubbed her sore forehead and ignored the people who were looking about trying to find out where the source of the loud bang sound came from.

"d.a.m.n, woman," Grace muttered, "That hurt."

"Your voice hurts," Kristi said without batting an eyelid, as she took a long sip from her drink, "So shut up."

Grace glared at Kristi, but kept quiet. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

She was watching Sari sitting in a booth with some guys. Dina was seating across from Sari while Sari was being sandwiched by two guys. 

Two good-looking guys, though they paled in comparison to Sir, of course.

Yet, there she was, having a red face as she timidly answered the questions one particular guy was asking. He seemed to be interested, for he gave of a smile, and was gentle.

"Why is she blus.h.i.+ng?" Grace hissed, "And laughing? And giving a time of day to that douche-bag? And …" 

Grace suddenly moved to the side, narrowly avoiding Kristi's hand.

Grace then made a zipping motion across her mouth, twisting it at the end as if locking it and 'threw' away a 'key'.

Kristi didn't say a word and continued to observe Sari.

Indeed, she also had the same thoughts as Grace but the difference was that she didn't voice them. 

She could understand Sari's need to help out a so-called friend, but did she need to react so? Is she so innocent and pure that any sort of attention from a good-looking guy would make her fl.u.s.tered?

Was the separation with Sir make her feel lonely, and thus more vulnerable to any sort of care and attention from the opposite s.e.x?

Just thinking about it made her blood boil.

Sir was working almost non-stop just so that he could settle things and return to Sari. Yet, what was his supposed beloved doing?

Having fun. With other guys.

Kristi clenched her jaw and gripped the gla.s.s she was drinking from, harder.

Maybe she should have let Grace push her down the stairs after all.

Kyle woke up rather late, his body finally succ.u.mbing to the exhaustion that had been building up. When he opened his eyes groggily, he noted that the time was already late afternoon.

"s.h.i.+t," he cursed, rubbing the grit from his eyes. Another day he didn't manage to call Sari. 

Then he stared at the sleeping cat on his chest. He poked her, but she didn't stir at all. He got up, and she slowly slid down and as she tumbled onto her back, she stared at him with her wide eyes.

She made a lazy stretch, then climbed up his chest to lick his chin.

Kyle grabbed her from under her armpits and lifted her to face him. Looking at her sternly, he said, "Baby, I told you. No licking."

She licked his nose.

"Argh!" Kyle grimaced and put her down onto his lap, scratching behind her ear.

"To think that the elite ninja boy would be defeated by a cat," came an amused voice from his bedroom door.

Kyle looked at Kay lazily, and did one long stretch which Kay thought was eerily similar to the way Kitty had done just moments earlier.

Kyle got up from the bed, clad only in his bermudas, as he trudged to the bathroom. Just as he was about to go in, he grinned as he said to Kay, "My elite ninja cat has the lethal cuteness skill."

Kay laughed and Kitty ran to her. Kay picked her up and walked to the kitchen, "Come on, let's whip up something simple for lunch now, shall we?"

Kitty meowed.

When Kyle came out from the bathroom after a refres.h.i.+ng shower, he could smell the food that Kay was cooking. Rubbing his hair vigorously with his towel, he walked into the kitchen.

"Great timing," Kay said as she poured the dish onto the bowl. Kyle kissed her on the cheek as he took the two dishes that were on the kitchen counter.

Tomato with egg, and stir-fried chilli chicken. Kay took the rice cooker and scooped out some rice onto a plate before handing it to Kyle.

Kyle closed his eyes as he moaned in appreciation after taking one mouthful of rice with the pieces of chicken, "This is so good."

Kay grinned happily, "I've been practising."

"Oh, it shows," Kyle said as he quickly shoved food into his mouth, "I am in Heaven."
