BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I am currently lying on my bed. We finished our practice for the pageant at six in the evening. We practice how are the proper modelling and our dance presentation. My feet are aching because I have been wearing heels for a long time. I just get my phone and start scrolling on my social media account. After some time, Ken’s chat heads pop-ups suddenly.

“Hey, “he messaged me.

“What? “I replied.

“You are so harsh. “he replied with a sad face emoticon.

“Not really, “I replied with a wink emoji.

“Whatever, anyway, I just thought if your feet were not hurting since you are wearing heels since early in the morning. “Ken replied.

“It hurts, but I can still manage. “I replied.

“I see, but you should not force yourself too much. “he said.

“Yes, do not worry too much about me, Mr Valenzuela. “I replied to him with a clear, teasing tone.

“It is hard to do not to worry about you, Mrs Valenzuela. “Ken replied that makes my eye widen.

“Who are you calling Mrs Valenzuela? Stop messing with me. “I replied to him, pretending to be angry, but deep inside, my heart was jumping around.

“Who knows, maybe we will end up together in the end. “he replied.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Your confidence is too high. What if we did not end up together? We are just fake remember. ”

I closed my eyes after I sent the message. Why it hurts thinking about that thought? A few minutes had already passed, but Ken did not reply to me. I frowned. What happened to him? In order to avoid getting crazy thinking about why Ken did not respond, I put my cell phone on my bed and then went outside my bedroom. I am getting hungry already. I just ate alone since my parents are not here due to their dinner meeting with the investor while my brother is still in his training.

After I finished eating, I went back to my bedroom. I grabbed my pajamas and took a half bath shower to calm myself. After twenty minutes, I combed my hair to dry it up so I could sleep when I noticed my cell phone on the bed. Shoot, I forgot that I was talking with Ken. I immediately got my phone to check if Ken had already sent his reply.

My prediction did not go wrong. Ken already replied, which shocked my mind and made my heart beat so fast.

“We can make it real if you want. Just say the magic word, my love. ”

Those words are the composition of his message. I attempted to reply to his chat many times, but I will remove it. What should I tell this guy? What is wrong with him?

“Do not be too happy, I am just kidding around. Goodnight. ”

I almost throw my cell phone after reading his message because of irritation. Aish, what is really wrong with that guy? Oh, why it seems like I am too disappointed? I hit myself because of what was in my mind. I just sent him a like zone and set aside my phone already. That guy is really getting on my nerve, aish. I slept that night that really had a bad mood toward Ken.

*** IN THE NEXT DAY ***

The next day, I was late the usual time I woke up, so I walked fast towards the classroom because I would be late after some time. When I arrived at the school, all my classmates were already present. It is already a few minutes before the start of our first class. I also noticed that at the back of the classroom, something was a mob, but I did not bother to join them. I sat down in my seat.

“Good morning. “Ken greeted me energetically.

“Morning. “I simply replied to him. I still cannot move on from what happened last night.

“Too short greeting, are you angry? “Ken asked while trying to mess around.

“Back off, Ken “, I said to him and rolled my eyes.

Ken raised his two hands showing that he had surrendered. I sighed after what he did. What precisely is the reason why I am angry? I looked in Rhea’s direction, which was currently looking at me too. I do not know if I was imagining or if there were real worries in the eyes of Rhea. I tried to give her a what is wrong look, but he just shook her head. After some time, our teacher already arrived, so everyone settled down.

“Good morning, everyone. Does the new student arrive already? “our teacher greeted us, then asked.

New student? In the middle of the school year? Is he the same guy who was surrounded by girls at the back?

“Yes, Ma’am, he is here. “our president answered with undeniable giggles in her voice. Seriously?

“Alright, Mr. Mendez. Go here in front and introduce yourself to your classmates. “our teacher instructed him.

Mendez? I think his surname is familiar, but I could not remember where I heard it. The guy stood up and went straight in front. I was in deep shock when I realized who is our new classmate. I looked down because of my realization. Why of the sudden? Why did he come back?

“Hi, everyone! I am James Mendez. It is nice meeting you all, and I hope I will have a meaningful school year with everyone, “he said energetically and with a broad smile on his face.

“Mr. Mendez, if it is not too much to asked, I just wanna know why you suddenly transferred here in BEU? I mean, it is already the middle time of the school year. “our teacher asked him, full of curiosity.

I firmly clenched my fist because of what I heard. I raise my hand, which is somehow a wrong move since our eyes met. My ghad, I cannot take this anymore.

“Yes, Alexa? “our teacher asked me when she noticed I was raising my hand.

“May I go out? “I asked our teacher while trying to compose myself.

“Yes, you may go! “our teacher answered me with a smile on her face.

KEN’S POV

I just observed Alexa while she was standing. What is wrong with her? She was currently walking towards our classroom’s exit when she suddenly stopped. I swear, I wanna punch someone because of what I heard.

“The only reason I transfer here is because of the woman I love, Alexandra Alcantara”, the new student answered.

He really had the nerve to emphasize Alexa’s name. How dare he? Everyone gasped for air because of what we heard. Even our teacher has been silent. I closed my fist in anger because of what he said. Is that the reason why Alexa is acting that way? Who is he in the life of the woman I love? Alexa continued walking towards the exit door after being stopped because of what she had heard.

On the other hand, the new student had already taken his seat, and our class continued. I am not my usual self for the whole class because Alexa is not yet here, and I am worried about her. Where is she?
