"Loser? You mean I am a loser, do you think? I am indeed such a person. Living on the mercy of the respected young lord of Lyon. But, can you not beat the drums of war this time?" argued Petra did not accept the insult that Lyon had just said. Just when Petra was about to eat his favorite burger.
"Of course. In your Social class lessons, there are many expressions such as ..." Lyon said very calmly. As if preparing to do defense when the enemy strikes back.
"I understand. Then, of course, I can just call you with a speech like you said just now. Loser ..." Petra whispered meaningfully. Eat the burger with large pieces. Then chew at high speed. Like someone upset.
"What do you mean by saying such inappropriate things?" scolded Lyon not receiving. Even Lyon had to scratch his two ears to make sure his hearing was still functioning.
"Loser ... because you cheated me with your money. Tricked me by dragging myself into the troubles that occurred in your own family. A loser to me is someone who likes to deceive others, using other people as a shield because he is too cowardly." Petra explained fierily.
--
Hearing what Petra just said to him, Lyon's facial expression changed drastically. Gored. Looks cooler than usual. Lyon is also speechless. Lyon just stared cynically at Petra, who was still chewing the burger in his right hand so voraciously. As if they were chatting casually like two people on a date, in general.
It wasn't like this was the first fake date that Lyon wanted to go on. At least not a war of words like they just had. Only ... Lyon a little hope that Petra will be sensitive and provide comfort for his tough day. Even though the two of them had absolutely no interest in them, at least the two of them could chat like normal people in general?
Normal people?
What is a normal person like?
Lyon himself just realized that he was not part of the circle of normal people in general like Petra or his school friends. It is easy for people to talk about the weather, homework, gossip, or trivia they encounter on their way to the burger shop. However, Lyon does not have such a vocabulary when he is with his friends. More correct is a fake friend. Petra.
Lyon is well aware that everything Petra said is true. Lyon uses Petra as a shield to cover himself who is sick of facing his own family, sick of facing a world that for Lyon has never been on his side. Sick of his life that has been arranged since he was born. Disgusted because his life is like a straight line, smooth without obstacles while his ego as a man feels hurt by it.
Even so, Lyon's ears still felt hot when he heard Petra's words about him. Lyon's blood was also boiling. And his heart beat faster than usual due to shock.
Today, history in Lyon's life records, for the first time in Lyon's life anyone dared to openly comment on himself shamelessly in his presence. Even saying painful things on purpose by doing other activities namely chewing food in the mouth. There is no manners or ethics, the girl with shoulder-length hair is too much.
"Are you done saying inappropriate things about me?" Lyon said at last.
After a long pause, it took several minutes for Lyon's ears to deliver the catch of the listener's senses to the brain in the head until the process of analysis and understanding of speech was completed.
Even if Lyon wanted to get angry, he couldn't do it in public like they currently are. Levi's big surname that he hated so desperately at stake. Even to vent his anger Lyon is not powerful enough. Lyon feels really like a loser. As Petra said earlier.
"Yes, I have. I am relieved to finally be able to tell you directly. And, I hope you are not angry. What I said earlier was a response to your outrageous words." Petra replied, finished chewing, and then drank the milkshake from the glass until it ran out in one gulp.
Another thing that amazes Lyon is seeing Petra, today Lyon just realized that the girl in front of him was very careless and did what she wanted. Where is the gentle attitude of the best scholarship recipient students at SMA Metropol?
Indeed Lyon does not see that in Petra at this time. What Lyon is witnessing now is a girl who eats so heartily as if she is starving that she has not eaten for three days.
"It's so easy for you to say that after hurting my pride?" argued Lyon did not accept.
"Your pride says?" shrieked Petra in shock at Lyon's words just now. Petra almost choked on her saliva.
"Yes." sure Lyon steadily.
"Can I buy your pride with my money? Wasn't that yesterday you could buy my worthless pride?" quipped Petra enthusiastically. Suddenly Petra became annoyed again. After making Petra full of two potato burgers, Lyon is now trying to make him hungry again with the words that came out of his sadistic mouth.
"That's enough. There's no point in keeping up with your babbling. I'm leaving." Lyon said then stood up from his chair and stepped out of the cafe leaving Petra alone.
Lyon left Petra at the burger shop. After getting into the car, the young man ordered the driver to leave immediately. Return.
"Tch, you kid. If you are offended, you run away." Petra said irritably.
Petra grumbled inwardly because she had to spend her small allowance on getting back to Lisa's house. There are no bus lines to Lisa's house at night like this, so Petra has to call a taxi to get home.
…
It has been three days since Lyon didn't want to talk to Petra. He didn't even look at Petra willing. Lyon has been angry with Petra since the incident at the burger shop the other day.
