Chapter 339 - AFTER PARTY III

After half an hour, the bodyguards called Cayenne and Stefan that everything's ready. Cayenne told Chris and Rissy about it and the two of them informed the students.

Everyone went to the beach front and found the food set up. There were three long tables covered with white table cloth and on top of it were different kinds of dishes. There were fried chickens, roasted chickens, chicken curry, pork chops, pork bellies, sweet and sour fish cutlets, fried fishes, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, scallops and many more. There were fruits and drinks. You would never think that those food were just from takeout orders. They looked like a buffet arranged by professional hotelier not by the guards.

None of the students moved. They didn't know if they should get food already since Cayenne and Stefan wasn't doing anything yet.

"Sis, can we eat now? I'm hungry." Luiz spoke to crack the silence and to help his classmates as well. He knew that everyone's hungry.

"Sure. What are you all waiting for? Just eat whatever you like." Cayenne told them while walking at the shore with Stefan.

Luiz saw Clarisse sitting at the edge of the pool, watching everyone getting their plates and their spoon and fork. "Riz, why are you still sitting there? Come here."

Everyone looked at her and smiled. "Come on. We won't leave anything for you if you won't come over." Another student called, making it a joke to let her feel at ease.

Clarisse was the student who came in second. In class, you wouldn't see her talking to other students if it's not about class-related. She's reliable when it comes to academics but she's not a very social person who goes out and have fun. She's very quiet as well and you would often see her inside the library during her free time.

Even so, her classmates still like her because she's not proud and arrogant. Whenever she's asked a question, she would answer it as long as she knows what it was all about. If she didn't know the answer, she will help you research it. Just don't talk to her about anime, manga or your favorite k-pop idols because she would have no idea at all.

One after another, the students picked the food that they like and looked for the best spot to sit. Some where sitting on the white sands, looking at the beautiful beach in front of them. Some went to sit on the chaise lounge, some were at the edge of the pool and some were at the cottages.

"What do you want to eat?" Luiz asked Clarisse and he even handed his own plate to her. "You don't have to be shy. My sister and brother-in-law are very kind people. And also, we're all classmates here so, there's no need to be so uptight."

"Thank you." Clarisse replied softly while looking at the food.

"Do you like shrimps?" Luiz asked her.

"No. Ah! Yes. I mean, I like them and I like how they taste but I'm allergic to shrimps and crabs."

"You are? I didn't know about that. I thought you just hated them because I noticed you'd look at the dishes with shrimps at school but you never get one."

Clarisse looked at him in surprise and she blinked her eyes at him. She didn't know that Luiz has paid her attention. "I ate sometimes but that's when I took my medicine. I didn't know that there will be shrimps today so, I didn't bring any antihistamine with me."

"That's not a problem. Just get whatever you like to eat. I'll be right back. You can get crabs and shrimps, too." Luiz ran away and went his sister.

Clarisse watched him talk to Stefan and Cayenne and then, he ran to the house without looking back. Clarisse didn't know what he was up to but she trusted him and took several kinds of dishes including shrimps and crabs.

"I didn't know that my brother's type is like her." Cayenne whispered while taking glances at the girl. She remembered her that this girl was the one who remained quiet during the whole meeting last time and her father even accused them of bribing the teacher. Although she didn't like Mr. Rodrigues, Cayenne likes the girl's personality.

"Don't jump into conclusions. Maybe he just cares for his classmate." Stefan told Cayenne bursting her bubbles.

The two of them walked along the shore, picking up cute shells and played with little hermit crabs. "Would you like to take a dip?" Stefan asked while pulling her to the sea.

"Sure. Let me put my shirt on the shore." Cayenne pulled her shirt over her head and folded it on the shore. She was only wearing her blue shorts and blue bra. "Aren't you hungry?" Cayenne asked him just in case he wanted to eat. Although her question came a bit late, she felt it was good to ask him still.

"I'm not hungry yet. Let's have the students eat first."

The two of them swam for a little while, picked up shells and colorful stones, played with the small fishes and talked about life. They flirted and teased each other. Cayenne's hearty laughter and Stefan's throaty chuckles made everyone looked at them.

Luiz came back with medicine in his hand. "Take this medicine for now. It's very effective said my sister. Just eat the food that you're not allergic to and eat the shrimps and crabs later." He handed the medicine to Clarisse and gave her water, too.

"Thank you, Luiz." Clarisse took the medicine and thought that Luiz would leave her alone. However, after getting his own food, Luiz came back and sat beside her. Sean saw this and went to sit beside Luiz. Chloe, the class treasure also saw this and sat beside Clarisse. They didn't want to make her feel that she's being left out.

"Luiz, your sister and her husband are very sweet. Are they like that every day?" Chloe asked while watching Stefan and Cayenne laughing together.

"You know that I moved to the dorm, right? It's because I'm always stuffed with their PDA."

"Your brother-in-law seemed to spoil your sister so much." Sean commented as well.

"Well, my sister is the rule at home. Whatever she says, it goes. No one defies her not even her husband. But my sister is not unreasonable and petty. She always considers a lot of things for everyone. Sometimes, she can be very protective and sometimes, she's just lazy."

"You adore your sister so much, don't you?" Clarisse asked while eating her fried chicken.

Luiz looked at his sister and his brother-in-law from a distance. There was faint smile on his lips. "My sister was like our mother to us. When my father was sent to jail, our mother started working and usually, it's just the three of us. Yen takes care of us and she never complains. When our mother got ill, she took the responsibility to raise us all. I'm just so amazed with her strength. And I'm so glad that Stefan came to pamper her."

"I wish I could find a man like him. Someone who will understand me and someone who pampers me and spoils me." Clarisse stated without noticing that the three people beside her was looking at her. It was the first time she expressed her opinion which wasn't related to academics and they were all surprised to hear that.
