Start of Friendship (2/2)

"Okay, okay. Lunch it is and Gem--" He made puppy dog eyes at me and I had to remind myself to close my mouth. How can a guy be so cute?

"What?" I glowered at him to hide my discomfort.

"Can you. . .tour me around too? Jae Joong-hyung was too busy and--"

"Wait, wait. I am a tour guide now? I knew it! You decided to treat me nicely because you need something from me!" I hissed. I can't believe this guy!

"Well. . .it's just if you're not too busy. . .I can't really peal my friend off that screaming girl yesterday. He was pratically glued to her. Our class ends at two, right?"

"Seriously, you sound like I can't say no." Pfft. He's such an arrogant moron! "Mr. Lee, first of all, I am not your slave. Second of all, I have life beyond this school and lastly, puppy dog eyes doesn't work for me." I gave him a fake smile before focusing my sight on the board before me.

"But I am willing to pay you. Just until I can get used around here. Please? I don't know anyone." There's this hint of desperation in his voice that made me look at him again. I can say that he didn't like that he was so helpless but he had no choice. Then my eyes widened when what he said finally registered. He's willing to pay me? Mischief took over the best of me and I grinned.

"A thousand per hour." I raised my chin up, trying to keep a straight face. I just knew he won't buy it.

"Call." Now, no cameras please. I knew I look stupid, gaping at him. He's willing to give me a thousand for every freakin' hour? I nearly fell of my chair.

"W-What? Are you serious?" I croaked, wanting to feel him lest he was sick. Sick in the head maybe? Not even the professional tour guides would require that much!"I am. Were you not?" He blinked. Oh no! He really was! I panicked silently. I can't go chicken now, can I? But this was wrong! It's practically extortion.

"B-But there are a lot of peo--""Aren't you true to your words?" He sighed deeply, visibly annoyed. But who would have thought he'll take the bait? It wasn't my fault that he's too easy to fool!"Alright. But not today. I have to do something. And take a damn cab on your way home, please." I begged. I can't be going out of my way (literally and figuratively) everyday just to send him home! I am so totally not that good.

"Yeah. I did take one on my way here. It was much easier than driving around." He laughed.

"Glad you figured it out." I said dryly. But how would I like to get my hands on that Camaro again! It was Bumblebee in flesh--err, metals, I should say. Oh well, maybe he can afford to be paying me that much. And hey, he insisted, okay? So stop looking at me like I am robbing him or something. Geez Gem, it's not as if everybody's staring!

"Teach me how to take public transport too, yeah?" He looked at me expectantly. He looked like a kid asking for another slice of chocolate cake. I let out a puff of air before nodding."You're an absolute pain in the neck."***************************************************************************************A/N: It's been so long.
