A Box of Supplies for You
Chapter 6's
Ayla looked at Max who was leaning leisurely on the sofa of her home. The jar containing his homemade chocolate cookies was on the man's lap. Max almost finished the meal alone. Now only three-quarters are left and Max does not look at all to stop his eating action now. It'sit's okay. Ayla's goal is to make food to be spent.
"When do you keep staring at me?" Max asked with a mouth full of chocolate cookies. A bit of his spit came out of Max's mouth. Surprisingly, the man did not look ugly at all. He looks like a handsome model with an adorable way of eating. There are no bad. "I'm too handsome for you to pass through, right?"
Ayla sneers. The boy has a god-level piety disease. He knew he was pretty handsome. Ayla's gaze was shifted to Ferro who was sitting with one leg resting on the other. Both hands are on the knee. His body was sturdy and his gaze remained intimidating as usual, even in the relaxed atmosphere like this moment. From the sitting pose alone it has been seen once that Ferro is quite arrogant and powerful. Ayla believes that when they grow up, Ferro will become the leader of a large, wealthy company. Handsome and proportionate. Like in the CEO stories in novels.
"Do you not want to eat, Ferro?" Ask Ayla. Ferro did not touch anything other than the orange juice he provided. While Max tried all the dishes he provided and almost spent the setoples of chocolate cookies. Though Ayla always remembered the words of the pearl from Ferro every time Ayla offered him food. The wind cannot be refused.
"Just seeing Max eating greedily, I felt full" Ferro said. Commenting on how to eat Max which he thinks is very excessive. Especially when they are in a woman's house. Very disrespectful.
"Well how else? Ayla's work has always been the most delicious," praise Max before re-entering the last chocolate cookie in the jar. "You're really my dream wife, Ayla."
Ayla and Ferro compactly let out expressions like people were about to vomit.
By the way about the arrival of Ferro and Max is very unexpected. Ayla thinks that her dealings with Ferro are over and she will return to her ordinary life. The life in which they interact only when Ayla opens her lunchbox. It turned out that Ferro had followed him home, without him noticing.
The man left his bike at school and got into the same bus as Ayla. Ferro sat right behind the girl. Ayla is completely unaware of when Ferro got on the bus. He woke up after arriving at a stop near his home. Ayla was very surprised when she saw Ferro who was suddenly nearby.
"You.. What are you doing here?" Ayla asked with a slightly stuttering tone. He was really surprised when he realized that he was not alone when he got out of the bus. "I'm taking you home."
"Yes. But.. Why?"
"You had an accident this morning. You're hurt." Yep. So do you, Ferro. Do you forget that you're the worst victim?
"And? You want to be a gentleman by taking me home?" Comparing back to what the man did when he wanted to return Ayla's lost book.
"Yes, just think of it that way." Ayla nodded in understanding. Trying to assume what Ferro did was common. He should not baper and fly high just because accompanied by Ferro. It would be very painful if Ayla fell and crashed from a height.
Ayla chose to ignore Ferro who was behind her and walked towards her house. The man's job is done. But why did he keep following Ayla? Ah, maybe she wants to make sure Ayla stays safe right up to the doorstep. So what Ayla did was to keep quiet all the way to her house. And Ferro did the same. The boy did not try to create an atmosphere so as not to be awkward.
Arriving in front of Ayla's house, he was surprised to see Max's presence in front of the gate while carrying a fruit basket. Ayla thinks Max and Ferro conspired to get to her house. But the man was also confused by Max's presence.
"Why is that kid here?" ask Ferro slowly. Ayla looked at Ferro with a question mark, "Didn't you make a deal?" Ferro shakes.
Ayla had no choice but to allow them to visit. Moreover, Max has bothered to buy a variety of beautifully decorated fruit in a basket. Ayla wanted to take a warm bath to calm down. He was still a bit shocked by the fall this morning with these two men. But yeah, that's it. At least Ferro was not angry with him anymore.
Ayla decides to head to the kitchen, leaving Max and Ferro watching television in the living room. His hand deftly took the jars containing cookies inside the cabinet and wrapped them. He knows that Max is hooked on whatever he makes. And Max never refused food. So he decided to give both cookies to take home.
Max and Ferro say goodbye almost at night. Max doesn't stop thanking her, praising Ayla, even asking her to marry Max five more years. While Ferro just say thank you. Thin smile and knot as sweetener. Really ordinary. And Ayla is increasingly self-aware that Ferro has no special feelings for her.
***
This morning, as usual, Ayla had been awake since 3. He took the materials he had bought last night. His hands deftly process the dough. Mix wheat flour, salt, and baking powder before stirring it. In another container, he put eggs and sugar. Then stir it using a mixer at high speed.
After 15 minutes of taking care of the dough, he put it in a baking sheet that he had finished with muffin paper evenly. With a decent level of speed, Ayla managed to put the dough into the baking pan as much as 3/4. He brought the muffin dough into the oven and roasted it for 30 minutes.
After she was done, Ayla picked up her simple muffin and smelled it. Delights. He sure Ferro would have liked it. After the clock showed at 5:30, he rushed to take a shower and got ready to go to school.
Ayla smiled along the school corridor. Sometimes he greeted people he knew. Ayla is so happy today. Ferro had forgiven him, and Ayla brought food that would have been liked by his idol. Unaware that there was something he had forgotten.
Arriving in class, Ayla must be in the fog to do the math pr that is somehow given by the teacher concerned. At the head of Ayla contains only Ferro, Ferro, and food for Ferro. Violet had not even arrived so Ayla would inevitably borrow the cheat on someone else.
Ayla's eyes were fixed on Ferro who was sitting relaxed while playing his gedget. Men as smart and as smart as Ferro certainly not the same as him who is in the fog looking for cheat. He must have done it at home. And Ferro is an easy target to cheat on. The problem of how much value he will get later, he believes completely in the man's brain. Ferro's not kidding smart. The obstacle here is Ferro's willingness to be a cheat for Ayla. Rarely is there a smart and kind man in giving answers to his friends sincerely. Including Ferro. The boy was very stingy for an answer. Even when Max, his friend was in need of answers he did not give. What else Ayla who notebane like a stranger. It would be a sign of doomsday if that happened.
"No," he said without taking his eyes off his gadget. Sometimes he exclaimed because he was cool to play a game that did not know what his name was. Ayla snapped her face.
'Stingy basics! Peel! Why would I fall in love with a man like him? Oh my God, how stingy he's maki Ayla in my heart. Ayla had no choice but to clench her hands together and plead with Max.
Although he has always been Tom & Jerry with Max Hamilton, Ayla admits that the conglomerate's son is far more human. Without thinking long and stale bases he immediately gave his book to Ayla.
"May do pr at home!" Omel Max is the umpteenth time they've known. Ayla simply grinned the horse before returning to her seat and working on the task at lightning speed.
Only 7 minutes left, the input signal bell will sound. Ayla should be able to copy Max's answers at maximum speed. Although in the end Ayla's writing can not be read, at least Ayla's writing is not empty. At least something he did. Although it must be a scrawl of chicken claws.
Ayla managed to finish her task just as the bell rang. And at that moment Violet came with an unusual circumstance. His face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were puffy. Very messy. Ayla had just wanted to ask her concerns that had to be delayed because it coincided with Mrs' arrival. Brownian.
"Gather your duties to me. Who does not work, please go forward."
The disciples immediately came forward to usher in the task that the majority were the result of cheating. Similarly to Ayla, he grabbed her book and moved out of her chair. He just took one step toward Mrs' desk. Brown before halting due to Violet's murmur.
"Damn! I forgot if today there's a pr."
"There are still 2 people, who hasn't?" Violet raised her right hand while slightly lowered. Trying to hide her face that looked so obvious was all over crying.
"That does not bring pr please get out of my class! Who else is it?" Ayla looked at her task book in doubt. Every now and then he turned his gaze towards Violet who walked outside the classroom in lethargic steps and looked back at her task.
"One more person!" Said Mrs. Brown is firm while racking his waist. Ayla has made her decision. He put his taskbook in his bag and raised his right hand. "I.. I forgot to make pr!"
Not entirely a lie. Ayla completely forgot so she cheated on Max's property. Mrs. Brown looked at Ayla sharply, "You again, Aira."
"Ayla, ma'am."
"I don't care! Now get out of my class." Ayla nodded and followed Violet who had already left first. Before Ayla actually left the classroom, she had heard Mrs' orders. Brown who somehow he had to respond to.
"Aira, after my hours are up please come to my room to take on your additional duties." Ayla turned her body and pointed to herself, "Only am I?"
Mrs. Brown nodded steadily, "Your friend is smart. He just forgot. Different from you stupid. You intentionally didn't do it." Ayla swore in her heart.
About Violet, it is true what her beloved math teacher said. Violet is smart enough in class and always diligent about schoolwork. Ayla was sure Violet had forgotten the task given was the result of the reason behind her puffy eyes.
The statement of Mrs. Brown about himself, not entirely wrong. Ayla was stupid in her lessons. Especially mathematics. But it is very inappropriate to call Ayla with the word 'stupid' just like that. At least use slightly more polite words like 'unable'.
Although Ayla can't do math, it doesn't mean she intentionally doesn't do it. Ayla completely forgot. If Ayla remembered, she would have done it last night. Although the answer he got was not purely the work of his brain, but the cheat he got in group chat class.
"I'll ask Ferro to teach you an extra lesson." Ayla glared her eyes at Mrs. Brownian. His mouth stuttered when he asked for certainty. "A.a..what?"
"Ferro will be your tutor until the exam. I can't teach you." Ayla looked at Ferro with a 'really?' look?'. While the man just nodded lazily.
"Now go outside, Aira!" Mrs Pinta. Brownian. Ayla nodded while trying hard to hide her smile. He immediately ran towards the canteen while exclaiming.
Ayla did not know whether or not to be grateful for the additional duties and classes Mrs gave. Brownian. He was a little upset because the senile woman's name was favoritism. It looks stupid. The little work he was unable to do. Especially many. But on the other hand Ayla is grateful for the intensity of meeting Ferro increased. He had already imagined how handsome Ferro was when teaching him. And even more special, only Ayla became Ferro's student. There's no one else. Only Ayla is. Ayla really should thank Mrs. Brown who unknowingly gave it a golden opportunity.
Ayla arrived at the cafeteria with a smile of her own. Before finally fading his smile and putting on a confused look. He forgot what he wanted to do until he got to this place. After almost 3 minutes of thinking, he finally remembered that he wanted to buy some snacks and drinks before heading to the school roof. Ayla guessed Violet was on the roof of the school because the place was indeed very suitable for solitude. Moreover, Violet was like she was being hit by a big problem. Ayla will approach Violet after she is done with her groceries.
What's with Violet?
