CHAP 20

I could almost hear the crashing of the waves on the far shore because of the intense silence that enveloped our table. Everybody were speechless and didn't know what to say to Agustine's answer. I could see the others carefully looking at me, guessing what the man in front of me was talking about.

"Do you want to join us?" Drea broke the silence.

I couldn't avoid but look at her. I know that she is completely aware of what Agustine just said but she just ignored it. I don't know if I should thank her for breaking the silence or be pissed because I can sense her rudeness and negative criticism against me.

Just like what Agustine did earlier he briefly looked at Drea and turned back his full attention to me.

"Can I join?" he asked politely.

I swallowed the lump in my throat but I was still unable to speak. The little annoyance that I felt for my old classmate was immediately shifted to nervousness because of Agustine's existing presence. I know for sure that they'll talk ill about me.
