Chapter 5 The fairest of them all

I am here in the town, alone. Yes, you heard it right. I'm on my own now because Mamu and Papu are busy doing some works on the farm. They let me choose between staying in the house all day or go out and wonder by myself. So, here I am, the center of attraction. Everyone is eyeing me from head to toe. I can sense their not-so-welcoming attitude towards me. But, I am Rougehan and I don't give a f*ck about what others say and point of view. I don't care.

I found a cute little cafe here downtown. For an old village like this, this is something unexpected. I made my sweet smile and went inside bravely.

"You must be the new girl here in town."

It was a voice of an old lady, walking slowly towards me. She has a warm smile on her face with her a very light aura.

"They are right. You are indeed beautiful." She added and smiled.

I smiled back. "Thank you. " I looked around. "This is a lovely cafe."

"Well, pink is my granddaughter's favorite color." She chuckled.

She told me that her name is Emma and assist me to the nearest seats beside the window. I ordered my favorite which is an iced coffee with a sundae on top. She even gives me a slice of mocha caramel almond cake for free. Emma is a nice person. I'm glad that I meet her.

I am enjoying my food when three noisy people entered here in the cafe. A sudden chill formed on my body when I recognized one of the guys. Unfortunately, he glanced in my direction. And the moment he saw me, a cheeky smile plastered on his lips. D*mn.

"Hello, Pretty!" He cheerfully waved at me.

I forced a smile. "Hey."

Unluckily, two of his friends joined him too. They are now approaching here in my spot.

"Hi, newbie." the beautiful girl with blonde long hair said.

"Welcome to Casa Blanca, babe." the other guy with shoulder-level black hair smirked at me.

"She is the granddaughter of the Ubays, guys." Mr. Novicio informed.

"What's your name, newbie?" the girl asked.

"Rougehan Marou," I answered.

She sneered. "Nice name. I am Danaira Erhard, the famous girl here."

Is it required to address herself as the famous girl? "Nice to meet you, Danaira," I mumbled.

"You should be. I am not the kind of person that usually does this first move. People here are dying to know me but I rejected them. Lucky you." She proudly said.

She is boastful. Let's kill her self-fulfillment. "The same as me. Unlike you-here, it's a big city." THen, I smiled.

The two guys roared in laughter while Danaira gives me her death glare. Ohh, goodness. Did I hit her pride and ego? I'm not sorry.

"She's funny, right?" Mr. Novicio giggled.

"Hey, hey! You- three, here's your order." Emma shouted over the counter.

Danaira looked at me first before she walks through the counter. She took her box of cupcakes and stormed outside without glancing back at her friends.

The other guy sits in the chair in front of me."That was awesome! No one can do that to Ira."

On the other hand, Mr. Novicio went to the counter to take their orders. No one can do what? Is she some kind of a celebrity here? Well, sorry to pop her bubble but I'm not tolerating her disgusting behavior.

"Ira is so full of herself. No one can blame her though. She's the most beautiful girl here in town." the guy added.

"But not until, Rougehan arrived." Mr. Novicio inserted. He has two cups of black coffee in both of his hands.

"I agree."

Wait. What did these two doing here? As far as I know, I am here alone. Ohh, goodness! What an unlucky girl am I today?

They are now sitting in the chairs in front of me. Both of them are sipping their coffee and savoring their pancakes. Emma chooses this spot for me. This is for me! How on earth did I end up with these two guys? I don't like them.

A few moments later and the bell of the door chimed again. Two muscular men entered and I almost spilled my cake out of mouth. Why are they doing here? Am I being a joke or prank? Goodness, it's the twins! D*mn. I hate this day.

"Hello there, little red!" Lance yelled.

"You know them?" Mr. Novicio shushed.

Ohh, goodness. I think I'm going to have a headache.

I nodded. "Unfortunately."

"How?" the other guy spat. "I mean, they are weird."

I agree with that statement. Those guys are weird and arrogant brutes. Do I need to answer him? Nah, I don't know either. I just shrugged at him.

"Good morning, Hamsels!" Mr. Novicio greeted them.

Lance turned in our direction and smiled. "Same to you, Manuel."

As I was expected, Luhan doesn't give a d*mn. He is just busy ordering something to Emma. He didn't even glance in my way. F*ck that asshole.

I need to be out of here. My head is starting to ache. So, I finished my food and stood up without any words. Mr. Novicio called me but I didn't answer. I just walked straight towards the door. If I stay there in a few more minutes with them, I probably bang my head hard. Having those people around is a headache.

I don't know where to go. I don't have any particular place in mind. I just wondered around the street. Sometimes go inside different stores and stopped when it's all about food. You know, there's a dragon inside my stomach. I can't control myself when it is all about yummy and delicious delicacies. Ohh, goodness. Whatever it is, as long as it can be eaten, I will definitely indulge and put it in my mouth.
