Luck and You

"I heard L and his tutor have been working things out." Lea, one of Jillian's friends told her as they are in the café, waiting for Infinite to come over and join them. Jillian looked at her friend with a raised eye brow. "What does that supposed to mean?" She asked in her irritated tone.

Sara, another friend leaned. "They said they are always seen in the library studying." She said.

Jillian rolled her eyes. "Of course they should study! That is what she is paid for right?" She asked in a duh tone.

Lea looked at her with wide eyes. "Don't you even think of what they are actually doing?" She asked.

Sara nodded. "They might look like they are studying but what if they are doing something MORE THAN studying?" She asked as well.

Jillian narrowed her eyes on her friends. "Don't even go there, you girls. I will kill that bitch if she does something funny with my boyfriend." She said.

Her friends shrugged. "Maybe you should start moving now?" They asked.

Jillian rolled her eyes as Infinite came in, attracting the ladies' attention.

"Oh, your boyfriend." Sara mocked.

Jillian glared at her. "Shut up." She said as she smiled at L. "Hi, babe." She said as she stood and kissed him on the lips.

L smiled. "Missed me that much?" He asked making Infinite look disgusted at them.

Jillian giggled. "I did! Did you?" She asked back flirtatiously.

L smiled and nodded. "Of course!" He replied sweetly as they sat side by side.

Infinite sat as well as Mina came for their orders.

"Good morning! I am Mina. Are you ready to order, Sirs/Ma'ams?" She asked enthusiastically and lively.

Elliot looked at her. "Where is Patrice noona?" He asked curiously.

Upon hearing the word 'Patrice', L immediately turned to listen.

Mina smiled. "She is on a special day off today." She replied.

"Special day off?" Night asked.

"Like a date?" Jeric asked.

Mina smiled. "If someone is with you, you can call that a date, right?" She replied politely.

The 6 boys of Infinite nodded and laughed.

"So, Patrice is with someone right now? Wow. He must be so lucky having a smart girl with him!" Alonzo beamed.

"Must be heaven for the guy!" Jason said adding compliments to Patrice.

Jillian and her friends rolled their eyes on the compliments that Infinite has been giving to Patrice.

Dean grinned as he looked at L. "So, what does the student think about his tutor who is out on a date today?" He asked.

L rolled his eyes. "What do I need to think about anyway?" He asked with his poker face.

Dean rolled his eyes as well. "Tch. PMS boy." He muttered as he smiled at Mina.

Mina smiled back. "Are you ready to order?" She asked.

Everyone nodded.

Mina wrote down their orders and bowed. "Thank you. I'll be back with your orders." She smiled as she walked to the counter. Then the door of the café opened revealing Helga and Kevin. The two looked like they are looking for somebody else. "She is not here." Helga told Kevin.

Kevin looked all over the place. "Where did she go? She is not in her house as well." He whined.

"She is not even answering her phone." Helga added.

Kevin lit up when he saw Mina. "Let's ask Mina." He suggested.

Helga nodded and walked to the counter.

But before reaching the counter, the two noticed Infinite and Jillian's troupe.

"Hi, Helga!" Night happily greeted.

Helga blushed and smiled shyly. "Hello, Night." She replied.

Kevin looked at Helga who was blushing while talking to Night. Then his eyes landed on L. "You are here." He said.

L smirked. "Well, hello to you too." He replied.

Kevin rolled his eyes and took Helga to the counter.

"Mina!" Kevin greeted happily.

Mina looked at him and Helga. "Oh, you're here!" She beamed. "Patrice's not around." She informed.

Kevin looked at her. "Where did she go?" He asked.

Mina smiled. "She went to buy things for the children's party." She replied.

Kevin and Helga's eyes widened. "Alone?!" They chorused.

Mina shook her head. "She is with someone else." She replied.

Helga and Kevin narrowed their eyes on her. "With who?" They asked in unison.

"The new boy she met. I think his name is Edward." Mina replied.

Helga narrowed her eyes. "She actually went with a new guy?" She asked in disbelief. "That is so not Patrice Kwon." She said still not believing.

Mina smiled. "Maybe she likes him." She suggested a thought.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Kevin and Helga chorused loudly making people look at them. They bowed in apology.

Kevin leaned closer. "There is no way Patrice would like someone she just met. It would be hard on her to like someone she knew for years even." He said in a low voice. Helga nodded.

Mina looked at them. "Maybe this is the time for her to like someone else, right?" She asked.

"NO!" Kevin and Helga shouted again.

"Down low, you two."

Kevin's, Mina's and Helga's eyes widened as they heard a voice.

Mina smiled. "Hi, Pat!" She beamed.

Kevin and Helga looked behind and saw Patrice with a cool - looking guy who was smiling on them. "Hi, Patrice." They chorused.

Patrice gave them a look. "What are you doing here shouting like mad persons?" She asked.

Kevin and Helga grinned. "Nothing, Pat." They answered.

Patrice nodded. "Okay." She said as she placed the things she bought in the space below the counter. "Put it here, Edward." She told Edward. Kevin eyed this new man as he looked at Patrice.

Patrice blinked at him. "What?" She asked.

Kevin narrowed his eyes. "Who is he?" he asked raising his brow.

Patrice looked at Edward. "Ah. This is Edward." She introduced. "He is new here and he is a new employee in this café." She added.

"Edward, this is Helga and Kevin, my friends." Patrice introduced.

Edward smiled and shook hands with Helga and Kevin. "Nice to meet you two!" He beamed enthusiastically.

Helga smiled at him. "You too." She bowed.

Kevin nodded.

"Pat, can you deliver this to Table 5?" Mina asked.

Patrice nodded and took the orders and went to Table 5. "Hello, these are your orders." She bowed before looking at the persons in the said table. "Hello, noona!" Elliot beamed.

Patrice smiled. "Hello." She smiled as she placed the orders on their table.

"This is not my order." Jillian talked all of a sudden pushing the mocha coffee back to Patrice.

Patrice looked at her. "But that's what's in the receipt, Jillian." She insisted.

Jillian looked at her with her bitchy look. "So are you trying to tell me that I am wrong?" She asked in her bitchy tone.

Patrice looked at her. "I am not trying to imply something but all I am saying is that you ordered that. It is in this receipt." She replied as calmly as she could. Jillian looked at her in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?" She asked.

"No." Patrice replied in a serious tone. "You are kidding me." She added.

Jillian glared at her. "You bitch." She said as she spilled the hot coffee on Patrice making her flinch in pain.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"PATRICE!"

L and Edward called.

Edward ran over to Patrice and pulled her behind him. He looked at Jillian. "How could you do that?" He asked in anger.

Patrice was flinching in pain as her skin got burned by the coffee.

L stared at her in shock. He glared at Jillian. "Why the hell did you do that?" He asked in anger.

Jillian looked at him in disbelief. "Why are you fighting me?!" She asked back.

L rolled his eyes and went out the café pulling Patrice behind him, leaving everyone in awe.
