BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I am currently lying my face on my palm located on my desk because of the boredom I am feeling due to my History class. Aside from the fact that this was a history class, my teacher’s voice sounded like a lullaby, adding to my boredom. I let out a heavy sigh because of my boredom. I glimpse at my wristwatch and realize it is almost time to go home, so I just focus my attention on my teacher’s discussion while waiting for the bell to ring.

” Class dismissed! ” our teacher announced and immediately left our classroom.

I stood up from my chair and stretched my upper body before arranging my stuff in my bag. After putting my things in my bag, I asked Rhea if we could go home already since this day was too tiring for me. Also, I am starting to feel something painful on my right foot, but good thing that it did not swell more.

” Let us go, ” I told Caleb and Rhea.

” Okay, let us get going, ” Rhea agreed.

” I would separate from you girls; I will pay a visit with Ken to the gymnasium. See you tomorrow Alexa. You too, ugly Rhea. ” Caleb said and ran as fast as he could afterward.

It is a good thing that Caleb ran because, for sure, Rhea will punch him because of what he said. If you are looking at Ken, he is not here. He was at the pageant rehearsal. On the other hand, I excused myself from the rehearsal due to my injury.

” Argh! That guy really getting on my nerves, ” Rhea exclaimed in frustration, which made me laugh.

” And why are you laughing, ” she said hysterically.

” As far as I remember, my grandparents started their love story that way. ” I jokingly said to Rhea and laughed.

” Duh, never as in N-E-V-E-R. Besides, Sebastian is more handsome than him, ” Rhea defended herself.

” Whatever beshy. How many years had passed, you should move on from that feelings, ” I frankly said to her. The aura of Rhea changed, and she became silent. Ops, it seemed like my words hurt her.

” Sorry, ” I regretted apologizing to her.

” It is alright. I already accepted it. Just like our lesson in Math about asymptote, we can be near to each other but will never destined to be in each other’s arm, ” Rhea sadly responded.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

` I could not help but hug her because of what she said. My brother is her childhood crush, but her feelings toward my brother deepen as time goes by. However, my brother does not care or maybe did not notice the feelings of Rhea towards him.

” May I join your duo hug? ” we heard Caleb speak, so Rhea and I let go of our hug and looked at him. I also saw Ken widely smiling at me. Aish, I might melt because of the way he looked at me. My cheeks automatically turned red because of what I thought.

” Ouch! ”

I came back to reality when I heard Caleb exclaim in pain. It seemed like he was hit by Rhea.

” So what now? Who are you calling ugly earlier? ” Rhea asked Caleb while grinning. It seemed like she had shrugged off what we talked about earlier already.

” Even with how many times you punch me, you will still be ugly, ” Caleb argued, then started running inside the classroom.

Rhea also started running to catch Caleb, who was laughing while he was running inside the classroom. I could not help but shake my head when I saw Rhea running while holding a broom, but she had difficulty catching Caleb. I think Rhea forgot that Caleb is an athlete. I am sure she will get tired of running after Caleb.

” How was your day? ” I heard Ken ask, so I looked at him, who currently leaning against the wall.

‘ Wait, why he looks so handsome in that pose, ‘ my mind commented, so I mentally slapped myself because of that thought.

” It is all right. Happy, ” I replied while smiling.

” Really? Even without me? ” Ken childishly asked.

” Idiot! Why are you here, by the way? The rehearsal is until 7PM, right? ” I asked to change our conversation flow because I was sure that would end in sweetness overload.

” Yes, I just excused for a while in order for me to see you off, so I am here, ” He explained as he went closer to me and grabbed my bag. My eyebrow automatically raised after what he said.

” I can handle myself. Beside, my driver will fetch me, so you should not burden yourself about me, ” I told him.

” You are not a burden to me, ” He replied, smiling.

I looked away from him because I felt like I was blushing because of what he said. What did this man do to me that I am acting this way towards him?

” Let us go already, so you can comeback in the gymnasium earlier, ” I said without looking at him.

” All right, let us go. ” He agreed. I almost jumped off due to shock when he held my waist. I immediately remove his hand from my waist.

” I am alright. I can handle myself, ” I said after being shocked at what he did.

” I would just provide you support, I would not do anything, ” He said.

” I am really okay. Beside, I am not used to that, ” I uncomfortably responded.

” Is that so? Are you sure that you really can? ” He asked once again to confirm that I could.

” Yes. Beside, I know that when I fall, you will surely catch me, ” I replied to assure him.

” You should tell me anytime because I am always ready to catch you, ” He replied, smiling, then winked at me. Why it seemed like what he said had two meanings?

” Aish, you really know lot of nonsense, ” I angrily said and started walking.

” How about you two? Are you staying here, or we will send you to the nearest church for your wedding ceremony? ” Ken maliciously asked Caleb and Rhea while grinning.

Rhea went closer to me while frowning. She also seemed tired after she tried to catch Caleb. On the other hand, Caleb is still laughing his heart out. I noticed how he looked at Rhea, and I was confident I could smell something fishy about that look.

” Let us go. I really hate that man, ” Rhea said angrily. I did my best not to laugh at how she looked and spoke.

” Let’s go, ” I said, then put my arms over her arms. Then, we started walking toward the school’s parking lot, where Caleb’s car was parked. I also asked my driver to fetch me here.

” Are you not going home with me? ” Caleb asked while facing Rhea.

” I do not want to, ” Rhea replied and rolled her eyes afterward. My right eyebrow raised because of what I heard. What is this going home thing about?!

” Okay, I am easily persuaded, ” Caleb responded.

” Anyway, I will get going. Bye, bye, Alexa. I will see you in the apartment, bro. ” Caleb said before hopping into his car and started driving away. I saw how Rhea’s face changed and how she was left dumbfounded.

” You are really hard to get, ” I commented.

” Tsk, what did he expect? I will bow to his knee for him to send me home, ” Rhea irritably said.

” Caleb acted that way, but, you know, he is a goodman, ” Ken said.

” He is a goodman, ” I seconded what Ken said.

” Tsk, you really tried to went against me, ” Rhea said while frowning.

” Come with me. I will send you home first, before I go home, ” I said to Rhea.

” Yay, you are really the best bestfriend, ” Rhea exclaimed and immediately hugged me.

Rhea and I heard Ken chuckle because of what we did, so we rolled our eyes at him. After some time, my driver had already arrived. Rhea entered the car right away while I faced Ken to get my stuff that he had been carrying for a long time.

” We will get going. Thank you for sending me here in the parking lot. You can go back to the gymnasium, ” I said while smiling after I got my stuff.

” Sure, take care. See you, ” he said while smiling at me.

” See you? ” I asked in wonder after hearing what he said.

” Ah, nothing. Go home already, ” Ken said and ran towards the gymnasium afterward. I just shrugged off how he reacted and just went inside the car.
