you know who Resident Evil belongs to
Ada was filling her tray with food when she felt someone poked her shoulder blade. She turned and found Leon behind her with a smug smile on his lips.
"hi" he greeted, several students behind him gave him a look of complete irritation.
"I think they want you to get in line, you know the whole queue in cafeteria thing" Ada muttered, her eyes fixed on her food. She could hear Leon saying sorry to the other students behind him. She chuckled.
"so I've been thinking. Since you treated me that dinner last night, as a gentleman I am asking you to have a dinner with me in my place" he said. Ada observed him. He is giving her a pleading smile. Like a kid begging for candy.
"when? I have a pretty tight schedule, Kennedy" She answered, locking her gaze with him.
Leon lost in his thought for a seconds, "Friday?"
"this Friday?" he nods "I can't, i am going to visit my father"
"how about Saturday?" he insist.
"sounds good, guess I'll see you Saturday then?" she replied, giving him a half smile.
"I'll see you on Saturday then" he repeated, a bright smile appeared on his features. Both of them payed for their lunch, then without saying anything else they went to different side of the cafeteria.
When Leon reached the table where his closest friends seated, the four teens that was conversing suddenly stop talking. Leon raised his eyebrows at the silence and take a seat. The four teens inspect him intently as if he just did something incredible instead of sitting down.
"what's wrong?" he asked, looking to each of them. Piers shook his head, followed by a loud sigh from Chris. Leon look at Jill, "care to elaborate, Valentine?"
"We were just talking about how friendly you were with Ada" she admitted. Leon found himself a bit agitated with them talking about him behind his back. A slight frown came across his face. "we saw you bought your lunch with her and you two just seems so friendly around each other"
"since when me being friendly became such a great topic to discuss?" Jill does not answer, instead she took a bite from her sandwich.
"well Leon, since the last time you were getting so friendly to other people than us is with Ashley Graham, and you ended up following her life changing experience of night life" Claire explained "not that we think Ada is a bad influence"
The way Claire said it, it sounded like he is the bad one. "followed, i followed her life changing experience." He corrected and look at them one by one as . He sighed then explain, "Indeed I was asking Ada out, but not to a nightclub. I asked her to come to my house for dinner"
Chris grinned as if the fact amused him "see Jill, he's fine. In fact I think it wouldn't be long until someone sit on that empty chair"
Leon couldn't help not to look at that one empty chair beside him. Chris is right it's been a while since the last time someone sat on the chair. He averted his gaze and took a deep breath. He understand how letting someone to sit on that chair might be one of the step that his friends think important for him. Maybe someday he could let someone to sit there again.

"What's her problem?" Carla muttered under her breath.
"whose her?" Alexia Ashford asked. Carla eyeing the short blonde girl, in front of the lockers, she's surrounded with people. Typical famous teenage girl. That absolutely she wants nothing to do with. Then she turned to look at Alexia.
"the Graham girl" Carla said, Ashley Graham again stole another sharp look at her. "I don't even know her, nor did i ever talked to her"
"that's Ashley for you. That little brat, the last thing you want is to have anything to do with her" said Alexia, a disapproving grin appeared on her face.
"or her minions" Another voice added, Carla look behind and see Manuela a friendly smile forming on her lips. Carla admitted the dark blonde haired girl has a really nice smile. That smile usually success to help her fetch almost every guy. Something that Carla think she does not capable of.
"Tsk- trust me I know" Carla answered.
"but seriously though, you shouldn't try to provoke anything out of her" Manuela repeated.
"yeah, because she's totally a short version of Regina George" Alexia chimed in,
"she's more likely to be a Regina George with Gretchen Wieners brain" Manuela muttered.
Carla laughed hearing the name. She never watch the mean girls movie, but she could tell that it is funny from the characters name. The thought of someone whose last name is a synonym of sausages just sound completely dumb.
"whatever. Since when did you get so perverted Carla?" Manuela raised her eyebrows. Carla wasn't even think that 'wieners' is an innuendo.
"speaking of Carla and her perverted thoughts" Alexia said, followed with a really fake cough. She gave a look towards Piers who is strolling towards them.
"hey Piers" Manuela greeted him first before Carla could speak anything. Piers waved them a hello. Before she could ask why is he here, Manuela took a step forward. "oh right, that biology test prep, you can do it today right ?"
"sure" Piers nodded. Carla looked at the two in confusion. Her mind couldn't figure out what are they talking about. Manuela let out that amazing smile of her. Now that smile looks so ridiculous up to the point where it got Carla annoyed. How she want to punch that her so called friend so bad.
"Piers here need some help in several subjects and I'm totally up for helping, you know" Manuela explained, patting him on the shoulder.
"you are failing?" Carla asked in higher tone. Piers scratch his head as if tons of flees suddenly attack him.
"no I'm not, hell no. I'm just really behind" he answered. Carla raised her eyebrows. "well there's Biology, then calculus, also French, not to mention chemistry, and few others" he added.
"how come you're not telling me?" Carla snapped, then realized that getting mad because of this is a total nonsense, it's not like he's bounded tell her everything. Also it's not like he could not just find another person beside her to teach him. Piers has his own free will to ask whoever he want to tutor him. Carla sighed. "you know what? your plan with Manuela just got canceled" she announced
"w-what?" Piers does not understand whatever she's talking about.
"yes, because I'm the one that'll teach you" she grumbled. Manuela grinned, that is when Carla realized it was her purpose all along.
Manuela Hidalgo is playing a twisted matchmaking game.
