Please Love Me

Chapter 16

Zion and I met with Zyrine at the mall. We ate in a seafood restaurant, and it was nothing, but fun. We

are now walking in the parking lot because it’s kinda late now.

"Thanks for the time Tricia..let’s meet again." Zyrine smiled at me. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Sure! anytime. Thank you.." She walked near me to hug me.

"By the way Zi take care of Tricia ah?" She gave us a mischievous smile causing Zion’s cheeks to

redden. Seriously?the mysterious guy Zion Drake Mercado blushing?

"You two look good together.."She added. I think it is now my turn to blush because of what she said.

I gasped when Zion held my hand. He’s just quiet in his seat while smiling as every time he looks at

me.

"Thanks for joining us Tricia.."

I frowned because I can’t understand why Zi is acting like this. He’s so serious and mysterious, so it’s

hard to understand him sometimes. Plus, it’s so rare to see him acting like this.

"No problem, Zi. It was fun."

"Thank you Tricia.." Zion looked away, then he went ahead as we reached home. I stopped when I

remembered Enzo. He rarely comes with me now. I’m hoping that it’s not just Monica whom he is busy

with.

I entered our classroom seeing my classmates minding their own business. I saw Sunny talking with

her other friends. She immediately kisses my cheek when she sees me.

“Hey, Trish! Have you made a menu for the festival?” Crap! I totally forgot about that!

“Ahh..ehh..” What can I say to her? That I’m too busy thinking of my heartbreak that’s why I forgot

about it? Gosh Tricia!

“OMG sis! Valedictorian of high school, but the mind is not in school?” Nice! And she just made fun of

me!

“Fine! Sorry mom!” I sarcastically said to her.

While fixing my things, I can see Monica approaching me. I don’t know why, but my smile automatically

fades at the sight of her. Nonetheless, I don’t want to be rude, so I just gve her a small smile.

I remember what Enzo asked of me. What am I doing? I feel like I want to do it, but there’s a part of me

who says “don’t.” Still, I think I should do this for my sanity.

“Hi Tricia. How are you?” I hear Sunny’s hiss beside me. She can’t just let this slide, can she?

“I’m fine…” I’m thinking of how I can tell her that Enzo wants to date her. Hell?

She was about to move pass me when my mouth suddenly opened. Traitor!

“Monica wait!”

You can do it Pat. I know it sucks! Just do this for your best friend!

“Can you date Enzo?” Even though I’m hurting, I’m happy that I have the courage to say it. She’s

frowning, and seems to think about it.

“Hmm...Would you join us?”

My jaw dropped at what she said. This is ridiculous! What am I? Do I count the number of times they

flirt?

“I’m sorry, but I can’t.” I seriously said.

"It's ok Tricia! I'm not coming then."

Wtf? What does she want to happen?

"Okay fine I'm coming.."

She slightly smirked when she heard me. What the?

"Okay. Then it's settled." She walked away, and I was left dumbfounded.

"Poor Tricia..you’re crazy." Sunny said.
