Inna just took my frappuccino and gave me her healthy macha tea latte.
"Why would do that, couldn't you just order a frap for yourself too?."
"That's not why i took it, this frap contains a great amount of sugar, as your tutor i can't let you have it, remember? Discipline."
"Did our deal include... What i order too?."
"Well, I'm sure i mentioned it before, changing your bad habits is necessity too, if we're going to achieve our goal. So you should give it a taste."
"Yeah but, i didn't think my frap would be included too!, It's my favorite drink, it's like a part of me."
"... disgusting, you really got yourself addicted to this stuff without thinking of what it does to you, if you keep drinking this, you will have some serious heath issues later on your life."
Inna decided to give me back my cup, after expressing how much she despises people who drink it, i don't think she's wrong though, i do have a bad habit of drinking frappuccino, but it's going to be very difficult to stop having it.
I have to say though, Inna stepping in and grabbing away my drink was quite an act, i felt the seriousness of the situation, something i don't feel a lot as i pretty much do whatever i desire to do.
I tried to not feel guilty while i was drinking, while i was taste testing and looking around the place.
"Inna, do you really despise people for simply having sweet drinks that are unhealthy."
"People who are having these drinks and the people who are making these drinks shouldn't be celebrated. For me that's a big deal, your food routine plays a big part on who you are, i shouldn't be pointing out a simple thing like this."
"Is it really?! I see a lot of athletic and high valued women be eating their sweets with no problem, maybe not like me who's addicted to it, but having sweet drinks occasionally should be fine."
"I don't know who are they that you arr considering a high valued women, but I'm going to tell you this... I'm going to tell you something you're probably going to take offense to it."
"People who enjoy these drinks look like farm cows to me, that's how i truly depicte those people."
I can't believe she said that to me, i truly feel like she's a bad person.
"Did i offend you?."
"Whatever... I'm going to stop anyways, just tell me if you're going to change my food routine or anything else."
"... Okay then what do you usually eat?."
"Well my diet consist usually with, a lunch, like orange chicken, and i tend to have dinner a lot, so I'm going for a hamburger or some BBQ, i literally just eat anything."
"Hmmm, it seems fine then, i was concerned that you might take only snacks."
"N-no, i could eat healthier though, like you Inna."
Inna just smiled, tilting her head like she just got a great idea.
"Would you like if i bring an extra lunch for you everyday?."
"Like the lunches that you bring?."
"Kind of, it's something very important for you Ruby, if you want to get a grasp of discipline."
The more i spend time with Inna, the more demanding she gets, but from her suggestions so far, there's no major changes in my life.
"That's fine, it would be good for me to include your healthy diet, Inna."
"Hmm good, you started to accept my tasks easily, i wonder how long will it take me to change you completely."
Inna just pointed her spoon on me, before i could respond she added some serious question.
"Would you allow someone to have that power over you, or would you run away?."
I never seen Inna take this tone before, she never sounded this honest before, first she described people who drink sweet stuff as farm cows and now she's trying to make me give in to her, like I'm a weak person.
"I would love to do anything you order me to do, for the sake of me, you can have that power over me, just-"
[Phone notification: Haime sent a new message]
"Hahh!"
"Just what?.
"..."
"Ruby!"
"I totally forgot i promised Haime to go out right now, oh my god I'm so sorry Inna, I'm really terrible when it comes to managing time."
"Is that so... So are you leaving right now?."
"I want to, but i would feel bad if i just leave you."
No!, i hope it didn't come off too pity, I could've word it better.
"You think i care for you if you stay or leave, I'm not some kid you feel pity for. Do what you want, my curfew is due so I'm leaving anyway."
"What!?, how did get that from what i said, i was just trying to be considered, i didn't say that out of pity."
"Ruby, i know how to read the situation and how to act next, i already told you it's fine okay, we'll meet next time."
Inna just left the money on the table.
Where did i go wrong, it's like i was agreeing with Inna and even invited her out, but something is still wrong, i wanted her to be satisfied with me, but all i do is make her sad and angry, i need to think about this relationship from outside.
"Me and Haime are going bar hopping and sneaking, if you leave me right now, that would mean i have only one thing to do next."
I thought to myself that should stop Inna from leaving and turn on her inner moral police and decide spend more time with me.
"... Go ahead then."
It feels like nothing is going to change her mind, she's very intelligent she can't just be convinced by my words.
"Inna, wait..."
I never thought i would be in a situation like this, i always been the one who's left behind, but unlike Inna, i always try to adjust myself and change for someone else, i think about the other's satisfaction over my own.
So i decided, i need to get out of my comfort zone and push myself to fix things.
"૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა Since this is the first time hanging out with each other, why don't we go downtown together, it would be fun with us together ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა."
I suddenly grabbed Inna which made her jump.
"Downtown?! This late?! What's wrong with you!."
It was too late for me to change my mind—i'm going to show Inna the other side of me.
(Next chapter, Inna will see the outside of school Ruby in action!)
