Chapter 18 Who's The Strange Man?

• "Excuse me, do I know you?" Amy asked the strange man. "What are you doing here Dion and how do you know Amy?" Luke hissed, looking serious and quite intimidating all of a sudden. "In fact, do not answer that. Leave," Luke added. "Chill dude, she's someone I know from school. I just came to say hi," the strange man, Dion answered. From where he sat across from her she noticed how his eyes were unfocused. She could tell he was tipsy. "We went to school together?" Amy asked, her interest peaked. "Yes we did. High school to be precise.
• But then again I won't expect 'daddy's little princess' to know me because she only spoke to that guy always. What's his name? Aha! David. It's quite a surprise you're not engaged to him but rather that uptight man up there," he looked at Reynolds who had mounted the stage. "What happened, was David not good enough for you?" "That's enough, Dion. We can do this the easy way or the difficult way. Go to your table now or I call the securities" Luke threatened. Cool down man, as I said, I just came to say hi. No need to make a scene. See you later, daddy's princess." She knew that was what most of the people in school had called her behind her back but she hadn't minded and was not going to now.
• She watched him move with uneven steps. Turning her head to Luke she asked, " Who is he?" "Dion? He is just someone who looks for trouble here and there because his father is the Mayor. You don't have to bother yourself with him." Luke gave her an assuring smile. "Amy, I see you've been looking at that empty seat for a while," Sarah changed the topic. "Was my curiosity that obvious? Yes, I have been wondering who it belonged to," she confirmed. "It's actually nobody's. I just wanted to give people the illusion that we were expecting another person. It must've worked if it had you thinking.
