Andrew, Tristan, Zhen-Zhen, and Isabelle took their lunch together. They looked happy, enjoying their meal. The awkwardness between the two brothers was slowly disappearing.
Zhen-Zhen and Isabelle were glad that Tristan and Andrew we're now talking comfortably with each other. This was a positive improvement in their relationship as brothers.
After seeing Andrew in the hospital, Tristan dropped off Zhen-Zhen at her school. Then he went back to the company.
There was still two hours before Zhen-Zhen's afternoon class would start. She decided to go to their meeting place. Her friend Sophia might be there already.
On her way, she saw Sophia talking to her three classmates. They were the mean girls Sophia was talking about when she first met Zhen-Zhen.
She warned Zhen-Zhen about avoiding those ladies during her first day of class. They were Jade, Nyka and Emma. They were standing near the entrance of the mini-forest going to their favorite spot.
The three girls had cornered Sophia once again. Zhen-Zhen decided to listen to their conversation. She didn't interrupt them.
"Hey Sophia, our University Acquaintance Party will be one week from now. Do you have a date or partner already?" Jade asked Sophia.
"I think I might not attend the party," Sophia plainly stated.
She was not fond of parties. She seldom socialized with others so if there were University Parties like this Sophia was not attending them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh come on, Sophia. You are about to graduate from this University but you never experience attending this kind of party even once. Why don't you try it this year?" Nyka said, trying to convince Sophia to join the party.
"Jade already talked to her Brother Marcus. She will introduce you to him, keeping the end of the deal. Besides, you helped us a lot in our Mathematics Subject." Emma also joined the conversation.
Sophia blushed immediately after hearing Marcus's name. She really admired him since her freshmen year.
"This is the last chance you will be able to get closer to my brother. He is already graduating this year. Don't you want to know him more?" Jade asked her curiously. She was observing Sophia's reaction.
Sophia could only bite her lower lip and looked down. She had to admit that Jade was right. She wanted to know him more. She was sad because Marcus would be graduating this year. She won't be able to see him again in this school.
After contemplating for a moment, Sophia finally gave in.
"Alright, I will attend the party this year."
The three ladies rejoiced after hearing that.
"That's great!" Jade mumbled enthusiastically.
"Are you available this weekend? I set you a date with my brother. He agreed to meet you and spend time with you this Saturday." Jade informed Sophia.
Sophia's eyes widened in shock after hearing that. For an unknown reason, her heart started beating rapidly inside her chest.
"Date?!! Why did you do that? I didn't ask you to do that?!" Sophia said exasperatedly.
She felt like running away. She had no confidence to face Marcus or even talk to him how much more to have a date with him?
Jade just let out a soft giggle, putting her hand on Sophia's shoulder.
"Come on, Sophia. This will help you know more about my brother. It's just a friendly date, getting to know each other. He is also willing to be your partner during the Acquaintance Party."
Sophia looked at her with disbelief. She was doubtful about this. "Why would he do that?"
"Because he is also interested in knowing you, the top 1 of our class!" Jade said matter-of-factly.
But Sophia knew that was not the case. Marcus was one of the famous handsome guys at the Campus. There's no way he would be interested in her.
"So, what's your answer? Will you meet my brother this Saturday?" Jade asked Sophia to confirm her decision.
Sophia fell silent. Complicated emotions could be seen on her face right now. She was still undecided.
Just thinking about meeting Marcus and having a date with him was making her anxious and very nervous.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I will think about it first. Give me time." Sophia responded to Jade.
"Alright, dear Sophie. Give me your answer after the end of our class this afternoon. Let me know so that I can inform my brother. He is looking forward to meeting you." Jade said, patting Sophia's shoulder.
After saying that, Jade signaled her friends, Emma and Nyka. They had to leave now. Soon the three of them said goodbye to Sophia.
The three ladies continued their conversation when Sophia was not around.
"Hey, Jade. Is that true? Your brother Marcus agreed to have a date with our boring nerdy classmate, Sophia?" Nyka asked Jade curiously.
"Yeah, me too. I couldn't believe that Marcus would do that. What did you do?" Emma also asked her.
Jade let out a soft giggle. "Hmm, I left him with no choice. My brother Marcus needs my help to woo the woman he likes. In exchange for that, I ask him to date Sophia and be her partner during the Acquaintance Party."
"Remember ladies, we need Sophia so that we will not have a hard time in our Mathematics Subject. So I'm doing this to gain her favor. She will help us to have high grades."
Nyka and Emma nodded at Jade in agreement. They liked their idea.
"As expected of you, sis! You are very clever. Doing this for our benefits!" Nyka praised Jade.
"But, is this alright? You are giving Sophia false hope," Emma couldn't help but mention this.
Jade just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Well, it's not our fault. If that will happen then it's her fault for believing that my brother will ever like her."
"Yeah, you have a point," Emma said, bobbing her head.
Then the three ladies ended up laughing at that thought.
