Chapter 13

"Garu! Ugh, thank goodness you're here! Guess who I ran into?" said Pucca. Garu did not answer; instead, he just stared at her in…disgust…? "Garu…? Are you okay?"started Pucca, "Look, I just ran into—"
"I know what happened!" said Garu firmly. Pucca stepped a little closer to him, "Garu…what's up?" Garu looked at her with scrunched eyebrows. "I saw what I saw! You were kissing the competition! How could you stoop so low?" exclaimed Garu. Pucca was confused, "Wha— I never met Tobe in my life! Just today and he decided to attack me! You think I would kiss competition?" raged Pucca, "Why are you so stupid?"
"Oh, I'm stupid? Says the girl who accused me of ripping up my own uniform! Says the girl who accused me of hooking up with Ring-Ring! Says the one girl that I had EVER trusted! Now, I'm not so sure," yelled Garu. Pucca was clearly hurt and tears were forming at the corners of her eyes. "But Garu, you can't possibly think this was my fault! I love—"
"Yeah, you love Tobe, I GET IT! I heard what he said! He said he had a wonderful time with you last night! Explain to me what that was," fumed Garu. Pucca flared up in anger, "GARU COME TO YOUR SENSES! I WAS NEVER WITH HIM LAST NIGHT! I WAS IN MY ROOM SLEEPING!" she screamed. Garu's face was getting redder by the second. Finally, he said, "Whatever, until this is figured out, I'm quitting Target Zero and you can forget about the time we ever met." And Garu stormed off. Pucca, close to breaking down, ran away crying.

Out of the shadows of a little valley, Ring-Ring slinked out and chuckled at what she had created. She walked away from the scene and off to the Goh-Rong. Dada, a younge man who works at the Goh-Rong, was rounding up dishes and teacups to the dishwasher. In came Ring-Ring and brought sweat on Dada's palms. Dada had always idolized Ring-Ring. He swallowed down his fear and finally had the courage to make his move. He straightened his shirt and walked out with a freshly washed plate, cup and chopsticks. "There you are, Ring-Ring. Please, take all the time you need to decide on our delicacies," said Dada in a very polite manner. Ring-Ring thought, to be totally honest, that she had never noticed Dada before and she thought he was perfect…Perfect for being a sucker. Ring-Ring Leaned over on the table onto her elbows with her chin perched on her hands and winked at Dada, "I'll be sure to tip you nicely later." Dada blushed uncontrollably and stammered a thank you as he stumbled off into the kitchen.

Ring-Ring had eaten her noodles and tipped Dada with a five dollar bill and left the restaurant. But, being the sneaky girl she was, she had left her phone number on a piece of paper with the money she put on the table. Dada might be the next sucker she needs. But first, she needs to make a few phone calls.
