Caroline rolled her eyeballs, frustrated. She turned around. "Yes, Mister? What do you want now?” she said patiently. James had been following ever since she left the class. She was sure getting annoyed.
"Miss fast legs, I almost could not catch up!", James exclaimed, still panting. He was tired from chasing her.
"Walk slower will ya?"
James finally caught up. He panted profusely. Sweat rolled down his forehead. He grabbed her arm to stop her from going anywhere. Caroline could feel the pressure of his sweaty palm on hers.
She knew that he would be up to some of his wacky ideas again. And that wasn’t good. On the contrary, its bad business for her. "Get your hand off me!", Caroline said with slight anger as she pushed his hand off.
"Okok, I wont touch you." He took his hand off voluntarily. "I just wanted to treat you lunch", he blurted out.
Caroline eyed at him suspiciously. Strange... Was this the James she knew?, she questioned herself. Caroline had known James ever since she was seven years old. Her mother had moved house to a small 3-room flat and they were neighbours, at that time and would often play with each other.
Caroline shook her head to perish the thoughts of the past. She placed her hand onto James's forehead as though expecting him to have a fever. "Are you okay? You don’t sound quite the usual."
James shrugged his shoulders jokingly. "Of course I'm alright! You don’t expect me to have a fever and babble nonsense do you?", he remarked in his usual casual way.
Without giving Caroline a chance to speak, he reached out to her arm and pulled her to the canteen. She was taken back of his sudden actions. Caroline tried to get out of his grasp.
"What the-", she exclaimed. "Stop dragging me!! Hands OFF!"

Caroline reluctantly sat down on the canteen chair. "What the heck do you want now?", she asking him angrily for the second time.
James ignored her question. "Hey, I'll go buy lunch for you now okay?", he said smoothly. "Sit there and don’t move madam. Lunch will be served any minute." This time, he spoke in a tone of a well-mannered waiter.
The anger in her suddenly disappeared. Caroline chuckled. James always had a sense of humor in him, even in difficult situations. There was one word to describe his character. Irrepressible. Yes, that’s the word.
Yet, Caroline knew that something was wrong with him today. Weird attitude of his. She heaved a heavy sigh and shoved this matter to the back of her head. She didn’t want to deal with friendship problems. She already had many troublesome homework to do by today.
"Here you go, Miss fast legs", James commented as he gently placing the bowl of hot mee siam in front of her.
Caroline looked up. "Hmmm? Oh, thanks", she replied absent-mindedly, her mind still brooded by her homework. "Heyy.. How did you know I like to eat this?", she suddenly questioned.
"Well, don’t think I'm dumb. I've known you for like seven years already and I don’t know your likes and dislikes?", he shot back grimly. Then, added:" You've gotta be kidding me right?"
Caroline giggled. "Ya, ya. I was just joking", she replied back with a smile.
She scooped up a spoonful of her mee siam and put it into her mouth. Whilst James popped another question out. "I need some money. Could you lend me some? Take it as the favor you owe me today?" He sounded really desperate for cash.
Caroline choked on her food. "What?” she blurted out in shock. Clearly, she was caught off guard. "What the heck do you want it for?"
"Well, err.." James tried to find the right words to use. "I..I...", he stammered.
Just then, a pair of strong hands caught hold of James's collar and yanked him straight up from his seat.
