3 Months Girlfriend
Chapter 7: Chocolate Flavored Milk

Elle was forced to have lunch in the cafeteria because Jackson forced her to. Jackson said there was something he wanted to talk to Elle about. Elle circulated her gaze while carrying a tray that was already filled to the brim with her lunch.

Actually, he has not been the center of attention, since he was no longer seen with Bren some time ago. Elle thought people had started to forget the embarrassing incident in the schoolyard back then.

When Elle's eyes managed to find Jackson waving at her, Elle immediately rushed over to the boy. Elle put her tray on the table and sat across from Jackson who seemed to have not touched her meal.

Jackson puts the milk box in front of Elle. “For you. You have to drink a lot of milk to get high fast.”

Elle took Jackson's milk-given box. Vanilla taste. He does not like vanilla milk. Even so Elle still smiled sincerely. “Thank you, Jackson.” He put Jackson's milk-given box back on the table.

“What do you want to talk about?” elle asked as she picked up the cheese burger on the tray and unfolded the package.

“We eat first,” said Jackson and then bit his burger.

Not far from where Elle and Jackson were sitting, Bren seemed to have been observing them. Bren moved from his seat.

“Where are you going?” sara asked while frowning.

“Getting with my girl,” Bren said with a grin. Joe and Tyler laughed happily at Bren's words. While Adam, as usual he did not want to interfere. While Sara, her face was already tangled when she heard Bren call Elle as “my girl”.

Bren walks past the table of a group of guys who are spending lunch without talking to each other. They are a group called Losers in school. Bren's eyes caught the chocolate milk that had not yet opened on the table. He then stopped his steps and took the milk. “Untukku. You can buy another one later.”

Bren puts money on the table, before the guy with thick glasses— the milk owner, opens his mouth to protest. The guy again covered his mouth that was almost open when he saw that the one who took the milk box was Bren Hudson. He doesn't want to find trouble with Bren. So, he just took Bren's money on the table.

Elle and Jackson were busy enjoying their lunch when a hand picked up the Elle milk box that had been given by Jackson. Elle looked up to see the person who had taken the milk out of the box.

Bren smiled widely as Elle stared at him. Then he immediately took a seat next to Elle and placed the milk chocolate flavor box next to the Elle tray.

Elle was just about to protest because the vanilla-flavored milk box, now in Bren's hands, was a gift from Jackson. He wanted to take it back because he wanted to appreciate Jackson. However, Bren had already drunk the milk without Elle's consent.

“That's mine,” muttered Elle slowly. His eyes looked straight at Bren, who with a sinless face was drinking milk that originally belonged to Elle.

“You drink this only,” said Bren while pointing to the chocolate milk he gave.

“I think you should learn manners, so as not to take other people's stuff without permission, Huston!” furious that Jackson was very upset to see Bren who acted arbitrarily to Elle.

Elle can feel the views of Bren's friends to him. Because without Elle knowing, it turns out he took a seat facing directly to the table where Bren and his friends used to gather during the break.

Sara looked at him fiercely. Until Elle felt her body could be hollow due to the gaze of Sara. And the one guy Elle just found out about named Adam, was now looking at her with a flat gaze. Elle straightened her saliva and lowered her gaze trying to avoid the gazes of Bren's friends.

Bren averted his gaze from Elle and stared fiercely at Jackson. “Elle prefers chocolate-flavored milk over vanilla. You don't know?” he asked with disdain.

Jackson turned to Elle to find the truth from Bren's words. Jackson's gaze looked intimidating and Elle did not like the feeling of being intimidated at all.

Elle glanced at Bren. How does this guy know that Elle prefers chocolate-flavored milk? “Not that I don't like vanilla— flavored milk" Elle tried to explain to Jackson but Bren already cut it first.

“But, you always receive my vanilla flavored milk. I thought you liked it. Why don't you just say it, Elle, if you don't like vanilla-flavored milk,” Jackson demands an explanation from Elle.

Elle waved both of her palms in front of her face in panic. He did not want Jackson who had been loyal to be friends with him to be misunderstood. “I don't dislike vanilla flavored milk, Jackson—”

“But, Elle prefers the taste of chocolate. That's why he keeps drinking your milk. Because he doesn't hate her. It's just not that much like it.” Bren again cuts Elle's words, and explains what Elle should have explained to Jackson without being asked.

“By the way, Hudson. Why don't you call Elle by her last name? I don't think you guys are that familiar with calling each other first names.” Jackson squinted his eyes full of probes.

Elle hurriedly opened her mouth. “Ah... the—”

“We've been officially friends since a few days ago. You don't know?” obviously Bren with a tone full of pride.

Jackson pointed alternately between Elle and Bren. “You're friends?” tanyanya.

“Yes, Jackson. I was just about to tell you today—”

“How many things have you not told me, Elle? I thought we were friends.” Jackson is disappointed that Elle is not open to him.

“Au—"

“I don't think you're that important to Elle. That's why he didn't tell you anything" Bren commented as he placed the empty milk box on the table.

BRACKET!

Elle got up from her seat as she slammed against the table. “Can you two stop cutting my conversation?” hardik Elle is so upset. Bren and Jackson were glued to Elle who suddenly looked fierce.

However, just seconds after Elle hit the table, and snapping at Bren and Jackson, she soon realized what she had just done. Because now everyone's gaze in the canteen was already fixed on him.

Elle had no idea since when she started to take center stage. Maybe after he kicked the table, or even he has been the center of attention since Bren sat at his desk. Elle is not sure and it is not important to find out about it now. Because he's so embarrassed now.

Elle closed her eyes for a moment. He should be able to keep his emotions! It's really shitty!

“Sorry,” says Elle fast. Not intended for whom. He hurriedly left the canteen.

Jackson moved away from his seat and soon caught up with Elle. While Bren, he did not care about Elle's departure. Bren got up from his seat, but not to go after him, Elle but to return to the table containing his friends.

“He's adorable, right?” bren asked and immediately sat down next to Sara.

Sara rolled her eyes. “Warming, my as*!”

Tyler chuckles. “Yes. She's adorable. Should I come near him?”

Bren waved his hand in front of his face. “No. Don'tdon't. Just let me. If I don't get it then you can go forward,” Bren said with a grin, then put a piece of potato in his mouth.
