They Made Me Who I Am Part 1
Episode 3
When recess starts, Dita heads to other classes first to sell her food.
About 80% of her food sold out
When she gets back to her class, someone shouts and points at her.
Canteen lady
Ah, so you’re the one trying to steal our customers! How dare you! You have no right to sell food here!
Out of nowhere, the canteen lady shouted at Dita and stormed over to her. She even shoved her shoulder and glared at her angrily.
Everyone is shocked, but the three of them are sneering and smiling triumphantly.
Canteen lady
You know what? The only place to buy food here is the canteen—and only I have the right to sell! I was born and raised here. The school promised that the local native, which is me, would have the exclusive right to run the canteen!
She knocked over the box, sending all of Dita’s remaining snacks flying and scattering across the ground.
Dita
I didn’t open a canteen—I’m just selling some street food snacks. Besides, we have to be fair. If my food isn’t good, they won’t buy it again.
Canteen lady
I don’t care. If I see you selling here again tomorrow, I’ll make sure you regret it.
One of the top students is texting somebody and glaring at the canteen lady a bit before looking out the window
Right before the canteen lady corners Dita, the principal storms over
Principal
What is going on here! Why are there snacks scattered all over the floor?
The canteen lady is shocked and stuttering.
Canteen lady
Nnn... Nothing ma'am. I have just tripped and spilled the snacks. Nothing serious~
Dita
Liar! She knocked over all the snacks I was selling out of jealousy and fear of rival ma'am!
Principal
How dare you do that to our student? Do you want me to revoke your permission to run the canteen here?
Canteen lady
No ma'am! I am sorry I am really sorry and I assure you I won't do that again
While the canteen lady is genuinely afraid, Queen whispers to Dito.
Queen
How did the principal suddenly storm in? Does she have backup?
Dito
Impossible! She can barely afford anything. The principal must be on a daily patrol.
Dita squints her eyes, suspicious. This must be their doing.
While looking out the window, he tries so hard to hide his proud smile. He didn’t expect Dita to stand up for herself so bravely.
The canteen lady apologize to Dita
The principal then reassures her, saying not to worry and to inform her immediately if anything is bothering her, as she’s one of the top students here. She leaves the room while glancing a bit at him; one of the top students.
