How they arGue...(part 2)

Reis sighed unwillingly. She might be friend of Caest and (former friend of) Frigid, but that does not makes her special. She might be beautiful, pure genius, and kind to everyone, but she can't hide her biggest weak point: She can get emotional sometimes.

It is one fine day after the exam, and Caest sighed right in front of her face (resulting one slap to the sigher). Of course IT'S rude to sigh at people's faces; it's more rude to do it in front of a lady.
Reis had heard about their last exam results, and she have to admit it: Frigid got a perfect score again, while she's still stucked being with number two. (99,98% right and 0,02% wrong of the full course 400 numbers)

Caest, in the other hand, must satisfied with only 43%.
And THAT is exactly what makes him sigh every minute. Well of course he has the right to sigh, but still...

"Caest, stop it." said Reis again, for about the 30th times.
"No can do, I'm SCREWED." replied Caest, a cloud of bad mood surrounded him, and that made Reis feel guilty.
(SIghed) "Okay, if that pleases you." replied Reis sarcastically. "I can't see of anyone besides YOU who still concerned with Scores."
"I'm NOT. Okay?" Caest snarled. "By the way, since it's lunchbreak, where's my lunch box?"

Reis had been cooking for Caest ever since they met. Caest moaned about how his mom just couldn/t make an edible food and about how useless his kitchen may seem. Well, Reis agreed to help him ever since, and out of pity, she cooked him a lunch box everyday, until now.

"It's a tamagoyaki rice with additional cabbages..." Reis handed over a pretty lunch box, wrapped with a pink-coloured napkin. The napkin itself didn't seem too tawdry, and the lunch itself was still warm.

"WHAT??? Vegetables?? AGAIN??"
"You can't eat meat forever, can you?" said Reis while opening her own lunch box.
"But cabbage?? Puh-lease. This is CRAP!!"

BRAKK!!! Reis slammed her fist to the table.

It was her fault alright, but that is not good of a reason to call her hardwork making their lunch early this morning a 'crap'. She was having a bad day today and Caest EVEN made it worse. That. Is. Enough.
Reis walked away from the crowd that looked at them with an intrigued eyes. She walked away, feeling her pace that was speeding up as she walks, and went to her favourite place: the rooftop.

Sometimes, it might be simpler if you just tell us what do you want. thought Reis. She don't know why, but she's gotten a LOT more emotional today. Apologize you idiot!! It's not Caest's fault!! He always talks like that!! What's the matter with the 'calm' me????

As Reis tried to calm herself, she didn't realize that Caest approached her from behind. SO when he tapped his hand on Reis' shoulder, she jumped out of the blue and stared at Caest with angered face.
"What do you want??"
"Umm...apologize....I think?"
"Why do you want to apologize??"
"Because it's...my fault..?"
"Why do you think it was your fault?"
"C'mon Reis...it's not like you to mope around like this! Just get it over with!"

What I'm trying to explain is not how Reis could be so emotional sometimes, nor the way Caest could be so dense to consider the damage he inflicted was so lght so Reis could just 'get it over with'.
What I'm trying to tell you is what did they do next.

"Maybe you're right..." despite of Caest's dense mind, he is the Caest whom Reis cooked lunch for. He might be selfish and insensitive sometimes, but that is alright, as long as Caest stays as her friend.

At least,....that's what she think(s), always.
