"You are late! What kept you so long?"

A loud, rash voice shouted at me as I sighed as I wiped my forehead from sweat. I ran all the way from my class to the cafateria just so I can fufil a promise that I was about to do.

Which was a promise that I kinda regret, seeing on how I am treated so far. In front of me is Ruby, a well-known hot headed third year in this school that had exceededly strong temper. She has numerous friends around the batch such as Layla and the student council leader, Lesley. With her uniform quite messy to look at, her blazer not buttoned and slightly wrinkled presumably from her constant activeness, and a red eyepatch to boot, no wonder that some people were avoiding her like a plague, thinking that she is way too childish or hot headed.

Which for me, wasn't the deal at all. I have known Ruby ever since first year in this high school as we were seatmates at the time and she was still brash and harsh to me. Yet, she has that other side that she sometimes shows whenever she genuinely wants to help you out or wants to understand you.

Like a rose covered in thorns, you can only grasp it if you prickle the thorns out. In this case, you just need to be used to Ruby's... tsundere tendencies.

"Look, I'm sorry for being late alright?" I exclaimed as I held my breath for a bit, feeling exhausted from the run I did. "Mathematics was a pain to finish out, y'know?"

She huffed as she rolled her visible eye. "Well, it is for you because you are such a dummy." Ruby remarked dryly as she sighed and grabbed the handle of the door. "C'mon, just buy me some ice cream and I'll say that the promise has been settled."

I nodded as I grabbed my wallet from my pockets and went in as Ruby opened the door. The tables are quite vacant as most of the students have already went home since the last period was already over. When that happens, I usually hang out with Ruby as she usually comes at the cafeteria to eat something before she goes home... which was one of my promises to her that I'll treat her ice cream since she helped me study for the exams.

Me and her looking at the cooler of the cafateria, she went on grabbing a strawberry flavored popsicle, which she usually buys everytime she enters the premises. I grabbed a chocolate cone one as I went to the cashier and bought those two off.

Giving her ice cream back, she smiled as she unwrapped the popsicle and immediately put it on her mouth. "Ahhhh~ that hits the spot!" She exclaimed happily as she was walking towards one of the vacant benches. I chuckled a bit as I unwrapped mine and started eating the cold treat as I followed her to one of the benches.

Sitting on the bench, Ruby kept on licking her popsicle without the care of the world as I just minded my own. It was quite awkward to think about it actually as I am sitting with a girl.. alone on a bench. It would really get the other students different ideas, but for now in a rather vacant place, I didn't care much.

I stared at Ruby as she was enjoying her popsicle, the glint in her blue eyes shows that she was really happy that I managed to give her what I promised. That gave me a warm feeling of happiness, a wave of joy wavered through me as I saw my friend enjoying what I bought for her. Sure, she was insistent upon it but I couldn't be helped to be happy that she is enjoying it.
