Amber was eating her burger with great relish when she felt something tingling down her spine. She frowned as she felt confused as to why she was feeling like that.
She looked up from her burger and saw two handsome guys standing at the entrance of the diner.
Her eyes widened in shock as she recognized the two guys. They were the popular people in her school. She slide down her seat as she tried to hide herself, looking at the other way. She cursed under her breath. 'Shoot. What the heck are they doing here?' she thought.
She thought she had found a perfect place to pig out. She knew that hardly people from her school come to this diner. So, here she can be herself and eat as many as she wants.
She then realized as to why should she hide herself. She never had any contact with these people so she doubts that they would remember her. In fact, they might not even know who she is, at all! She quickly straighten herself and forced herself to keep calm, as if nothing had happened.
However, she began to panic once more when she saw them walking over to her booth.
She immediately started to stumble over her things on the table. She nearly toppled her drinks over her panic. She quickly continue eating, pretending that she did not notice them walking over.
She nearly choked herself when the two of them smoothly sat across her, making themselves comfortable.
"Do I know you?" Amber croaked, wiping her mouth with a napkin.
The guy who had two dimples on his cheek shushed her as he tried to hide himself. He hunched over his seat. "Shhh. Go continue eating and pretend we're not here," he whispered, his index finger on his lips.
Suddenly, his hand shot off to grab some fries off her plate. Amber watched in surprise as he eat them, hand reaching non-stop for the fries again.
When her fries were nearly gone, she slapped his hand with hers and asked angrily, "What the heck are you doing?"
The guy jumped, startled. He then looked down at her plates and said sheepishly, "Sorry, I didn't realize that I was eating your fries. Guess I was just hungry."
The other quiet guy with glasses, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes. "Let's go and order before you steal more of her foods."
He raised his arm, calling for a waitress to take their order.
The guy with the dimples smacked his friend's arm down and hissed, "Woi, we're going to get caught if you expose yourself like that."
The bespectacled guy rolled his eyes again and ignored him.
When the waitress came to their table with a small notepad and a pen in her hand, the two guys immediately shot off their orders. Amber was amazed at how fast the dimpled guy talked. It was as if he was chanting a long but quick spell.
While waiting for their food to arrive, the bespectacled guy turned to Amber and holds out his hand. "My name is Hamish. And this doofus beside me is Erick."
The dimpled guy aka Erick glared at Hamish. "Who you calling doofus?"
Both Amber and Hamish ignored him as Amber shook Hamish's hand. "I'm Amber. So, what are you two doing here? Its not the place you two usually go, is it?" she asked, curious. She knew because this was not her first time here. But it was definitely their first time here.
Both Hamish and Erick looked hesitant to answer, at first. But then, Hamish looked at her and said, "We're actually…"
"We're on the adventure!" Erick cut in.
Amber turned to Erick and frowned. "Adventure? How old are you? Three?" She scoffed.
Just then, she suddenly heard a growl, making her trembled in fright. Her eyes widened as she swiftly turned to Erick. She blinked her eyes furiously. She could have sworn she saw his eyes turned to amber for awhile.
Erick blinked in surprise too. Then he laughed awkwardly. "I must have been hungry," he said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
Hamish just turned his face away and let out an awkward cough.
----
Earlier, when the two of them walked in, they had caught sight of Amber who was eating alone in a booth. She looked like she was studying as well with her tablet and books in front of her.
And also, before they went in, they also caught sight of Roel with the other pack mates. They were in deep discussion at the end of the diner, their heads close together. Erick and Hamish immediately went over to Amber, just so that they could hide from them. The two of them pretended that they had not seen Roel and the other pack mates.
Every now and then, both Hamish and Erick would look over their shoulders to see whether Roel and the others had left or not, without making Amber suspicious.
Hence why Erick was distracted that he did not notice that he was eating Amber's fries until she smacked his hand. He felt embarrassed. And when she suddenly mocked him for acting like a kid, Dane suddenly let out an angry growl. He doesn't really like being mocked at. He was a proud werewolf and does not like being looked down. Erick immediately apologised, feeling sheepish.
There was an awkward silence after Erick apologized.
Fortunately, the waitress had returned with their ordees, easing out the awkwardness between them. Amber's eyes widened in surprise again, this time as she watched the waitress placed Erick and Hamish's food in front of them.
They had ordered four burgers for Erick and three burgers for Hamish. Six french fries for Erick and seven french fries for Hamish and there were another big bowl filled with chicken nuggets as well as three milkshakes each for Erick and Hamish. The waitress even had to drag another small metal table to accommodate the plates.
Amber was surprised to see all the food in front of her. She thought that she was the one who ate a lot. It seems she pales in comparison when it comes to these two guys.
The plates of food were taking too much space that Amber had to place her tablet beside her on the booth chair. Erick was eating his burger when he noticed Amber was still shell-shocked. He pushed a plate of french fries closer to her and invited, "You can have some of my fries."
Amber shook her head. "Thanks but it's ok… Are you able to finish all this?" she asked, gesturing to all the food in front of her.
Erick tossed a fry into his mouth. "Of course. I'm gonna get some ice-cream later."
Amber blinked her eyes in surprise. "Oh, wow…" she said slowly, feeling speechless.
Hamish then elbowed Erick on the arm. "Don't forget what we're here for," he hissed.
Amber leaned forward in her seat when she heard Hamish. "Oh yeah, what are you guys doing here, anyway?" she asked, curious. "No, don't tell me it's for an adventure. This is not Dora the Explorer," she scoffed.
Hamish and Erick looked at each other and then back at her. Erick then shook his head. "Nothing that you need to know."
"Oh come on, aren't we friends already?" Amber pleaded. She was really curious to know, she doesn't even know why. She suspected that there was something going on and she wants to know about it, as well.
"Friends?" Erick repeated, surprised.
Amber nodded. "Aren't we french fries buddies?" she smiled.
Erick was stunned at first and then laughed out loud. Then he suddenly became quiet, his eyes widened. "Shit, was I loud?" he hissed, asking Hamish, as he discreetly looked behind him.
Hamish also looked behind him and then shook his head. "But it seems like they're gone now."
Erick cursed under his breath and quickly finished his food.
Minutes later, there was literally nothing left on the plates. It was as if everything was sucked clean by a vacuum cleaner. Amber blinked her eyes in surprise. It happened so fast that she did not realize what was happening.
She jumped when she saw the two of them were getting ready to leave the booth. "Where are you going?" she asked.
The two of them ignored her and left the diner after paying for their meal.
Amber quickly packed her stuff and ran over to the cashier. She was surprised to find out that they had paid for her meal too. She thanked the cashier and quickly ran after them.
She watched as the two of them were walking silently, heading towards the abandoned barnyard a few meters away.
Amber frowned in confusion. 'What are they up to?' she wondered as she followed them from behind.
