Chapter 12 – Sylvia Noventa, New Friend?
"Geez, who does she think she is? She thinks she's so great and all just because she's a scholar."
"She has the nerve to be choosy, she's nothing but a province girl? What does Heero see in her?"
"Maybe, she's into voodoo magic, you know? Maybe, she made Heero drink something! Oh, poor Heero…."
"Yeah, there's no way Heero would actually, really like her! Come one, she so plain, and rude and ungrateful."
Relena had another bad day. She was yet again the talk of the campus. Apparently, many people have seen how she walked out on Heero during their outdoor sketching class. Again, no one understood her. They were all sympathizing with the haughty leader of Cinq Fatale. And again, butchering her image and saying mean things about her.
'They are the ones who have been under his demonic spell!' Relena thought to herself while on her way to The Cake Surprise Pastry Shop, where she currently does her part time job.
'How could they even not see how rude he was? And no matter who he is, no person should have the privilege of pestering a girl just so he could force her to go out with him?! He is so full of himself! Aaaaaah! I hate him-'
But, Relena's thoughts were interrupted when she saw a suspicious looking man, standing suspiciously close to a lady by the sidewalk. The lady had her back on her, she appears to be reading the menu of coffee shop. The suspicious looking guy was a bit shorter than her so she was completely oblivious of the fact that the guy was too close to her. Relena's sense heightened up. Her grandparents had warned her enough about of these petty crimes in the city. The reason they were terribly worried when they found out, she really wanted to study in the city. Their small town had little to almost zero crime rate, due to the fact that almost all the people there, knows each other. They were not a town, they were like a really huge family back there.
Relena observed the guy closely. She could see that his hands were strategically covered by his torso, but she could easily imagine what they were doing. And, in few moments, those hands showed themselves and true to Relena's suspicions, they were holding a small purse!
"Hey!" Relena screamed loud enough to catch the attention of the young lady. Relena locked eyes with the suspicious guy and in a second, the guy ran for his life.
Relena was quick to react and ran after the suspicious guy as fast as she can. She also managed to shout loudly after him, to make sure that the people notice her and in hopes that they would help her stop the purse thief.
"He's a thief! That guy running over there stole a purse! Stop him!"
To her relief, people were forced to slow down to look at her, which made it hard for the thief to run. Then, a few tall guys, formed a barricade on him, until Relena was able to catch after him.
In between huffing and puffing, Relena managed to say, "Hey! Bring back that purse!"
The thief looked puzzled but also terribly anxious as the guy mob moved closer to him as if to intimidate him.
"Hey! Make way, make way!" a voice cried. A police officer made his way inside the guy mob barricade and behind him was the young lady who owns the purse. "What is happening here?"
Relena's face lightened up. "Officer, this guy stole a young lady's purse!" And upon seeing the young lady behind the officer, she quickly grabbed the purse from the thief and showed it to her.
"This purse is yours right?" she asked her.
The young lady nodded and looked at the officer. "Sir, I was busy so I did not notice anything."
The officer grabbed the purse from Relena and handed it to the young lady and walked towards the dumbfounded thief. "Stand up there, and come with me."
After, putting the petty thief into handcuffs, the officer turned to the two young ladies. "Ok, so I will take care of this guy. You guys take care of yourselves and mind your belongings. There are many of these guys in here. Better be alert at all times."
The girls nodded their heads in unison as they watched the officer and the thief walk away.
The young lady suddenly held Relena's hands and squeezed them tightly. "You're my hero! Thank you for running after my purse! I wouldn't know what to do if I had lost it. Oooh, I'm such a clumsy girl haha!"
Relena was a bit surprised with her gesture but even more surprised when she looked at her. She was so beautiful! Her eyes were purple and she had long and curly eyelashes. Her hair was a beautiful wavy blonde, pretty much like her hair, but way better. And, she was tall and slim, like a model, a super model.
Relena was busy staring at her when she said, "Please come with me. I need to at least treat you for all that trouble I caused."
Just then, Relena remembered why she was here and that she was now late for her work shift.
"No need for that, miss. You're welcome. But, I am already late for my shift. I have to go now." Relena said apologetically.
The super model frowned but in a cute and endearing way. "Awww, now I owe you more than just a simple treat."
She continued holding Relena's hands and started walking pulling Relena along with her. "Now, let's go where you work so, I can inform your superior why you're late."
The young lady was named Sylvia Noventa. A name which, Relena is sure she had heard somewhere, but can't quite pick out. Thankfully, Mrs. Butterfield was such an understanding lady and Sylvia had also no problem explaining everything to her. Mrs. Butterfield was actually very grateful because apparently, Sylvia was not only very pretty but very rich as well. In gratitude to Relena, she bought one of each of the pastries and cakes that they were selling. And because of that, the shop has met its daily quota in record time!
"I will leave you girls to chat there, I just have something to do inside the office." Mrs. Butterfield said, as she happily went inside her small office at the back of the shop.
"Geez, Miss Sylvia, thank you for today. This was actually too much." Relena said.
"Drop the formalities, Relena. I think we are around the same age and you are now officially my friend!" Sylvia replied, as she popped a small slice of chocolate cake into her mouth. "Also, I have long been looking for a nice cake shop. And your products are really good!"
Relena was in awe at how the slim woman has been able to consume three slices of cake and is now close to finishing her fourth one. 'Geez, she is truly blessed, to be able to stuff all those sweets and still have that figure.'
"Hey, I think my driver is already outside." Sylvia said, as her phone beeped and she quickly popped the last piece of her cake slice. "Can I have your number? Please let's keep in touch. I don't really have many girl friends here."
Relena frowned, feeling bummed about not having a cellphone. She made a mental note to save up for that, from some of her salary. "I do not have a cellphone yet."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Ok then, maybe I'll just visit here another day. When is your regular shift?" she asked.
"Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 5pm 'til closing time."
"Great! See you again! And again, thank you so much for getting my purse from that thief!"
So, that's where Relena have heard that name, Sylvia Noventa; she is the famous Sylvia Noventa. A former student of Romefeller, but got an offer from an international modelling company in Paris, so she was forced to drop out of school and pursue her dream of becoming an international supermodel. She was one of the most famous and most looked up to, students of Romefeller and is often paired with the infamous Heero Yuy. But, rumors of her involvement with another member of the Cinq Fatale were also the talk of the campus.
"She is the love of Trowa Barton's life."
