BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I am not in my usual for the whole day. I excused myself too in my last subject because of the surprises I encountered this day. What did I do? I said I do not want to be the center of attention.

” Ma’am Alexa, we have already arrived in the mansion. ” the driver snapped my deep thought respectfully.

See? Due to my clouding thought about what happened, I did not notice that we had arrived at our mansion. I thanked our driver before I entered the house. I go straight to my bedroom so that I can rest early. However, as I opened the door, the face of Rhea welcomed me. Although I am expecting her, I am still shocked.

” Not now, Rhea; I am tired. ” I told her huskily.

” If not now, then when beshy? ” she dramatically asked me

I sat on my bed and faced her after releasing a long sigh.

” What now, Rhea? ”

” Well, as your beshy, I deserve to know everything, ”

I just rolled my eyes because of her being so dramatic. Seriously?!

” Direct to the point, Rhea, ” I irritably told her

” Is the gossip true? Are you and Ken Valenzuela in a relationship? ” she asks in a row

I sighed and then replied, “Yep!”

” Whaaaaaaaaaat ! How? Why? ” she asks loudly!

” Tsk ! Kindly lower your voice. My older brother could hear us. He may punish me once he knows.” I warn her

” How do these things happen? Why did I not know? We are best friends, no secrets, right? ” she dramatically asked me.

” It is a long story, Rhea. Besides, I do not have enough energy to tell it to you. ” I told her, then I lay down in my bed. I feel exhausted, even though I did not join some of the classes I had because of what happened.

I am ready to close my eyes when Rhea grabs my arm and makes me sit again. I irritably look at her.

” Look, I want to rest so beshy.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

” No, no, no, you need to tell me the story. I will not be able to be quiet without knowing the whole story. ” Rhea insisted.

” Fine, ” I irritably answered as a sign of defeat that made her smile.

*** FLASHBACK ***

Ken dragged me along till we were on the rooftop. Even though I tried to grab my hand back, he kept tightening his grip. This guy is getting on my nerves. He even made some malicious remarks. His girlfriend? Huh! We are not even friends.

” What is your problem? ” I shouted at his face.

” Be my girlfriend. ” Ken answered me in the most determined tone.

“What? Are you kidding? ” I hysterically replied.

” No, do I look like joking to you? ” he answered me back in seriousness.

” And what do you think of me? I do not even know you, so I do not have any reason to be your girlfriend. ” I angrily told him.

” Look, I am doing you a favor. The whole campus knew about us. ” Ken answered me with the same face he had.

” And so? It is easy to tell that you are just kidding a while back. Gosh, you are really getting on my nerves. My first class will start a bit, so take care of your issue. ”

After I told him those words, I turned my back to him and started approaching the rooftop exit when he said something that made me stop.

” Then, what do you think will happen? A disgrace in you and your family? You do not want your school to think poorly of you, Am I right? ”

I immediately looked at him because of what he said. How did he know about that? Only some people were supposed to know that.

” How did you know?” I firmly asked him

He gave me a mischievous smile and answered, ” I have my sources, darling.”

” Do not dare to tell anyone about it. ” I said with a threat.

” Then be my girlfriend, and I will not.” He said while smirking.

“Fine,” I said in surrender.

He gave me an “I win” smile that made me roll my eyes. If it is not because I do not want everyone to know my connection in this school, I will never bother to agree with this jerk.

*** END OF FLASHBACK ***

” Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! ” I almost got deaf after Rhea shouted

” Tsk, I told you to speak more quietly. ” I said it with the most irritated tone of my voice

She just smiled at me and said, ” It is thrilling think about it. I only read this with novels, but it is now happening to you. O-M-G. ”

” There is nothing sweet, Rhea. He blackmailed me. ” I said irritably, but she continued to smile.

” Duh, maybe he likes you. Moreover, it is your fault because you want an ugly nerd disguise. You also do not want our schoolmates to know that your family-owned our school. ” she lectured me.

” Well, my disguise will be nothing if they will know. ” I answered back

” Yeah! Whatever with capital W. But the most important thing is you have a love life. You are a grown-up already. ” she said to me teasingly.

” Who has a love life? ”

When we heard the voice coming from the door of my room, we nearly leaped out of bed from shock.

This is what I am talking about a while ago. Rhea is too noisy. No one tries and dares to answer my brother’s question.

” I repeat, who has a love life? ” my brother asked us again, but this is scarier than a while back

I answered my brother’s question, “It is Rhea, yes, she is,” despite my anxiety.

My brother turned his gaze from me to the nervous Rhea.

“Is that true, Rhea? ” my brother asks calmly but with authority

Rhea looks at me and my brother alternately. I cannot blame her. He likes my brother, but she needs to save me from the problem she causes me. When her eyes met mine again, I glared at her and gave her a ” just say yes ” look.

” Ahm, yes ” Rhea answered hesitantly then bent her head down.

” Is that so? Congratulations then. By the way, you two should rest because your class tomorrow is early. ”

After Kuya told me that he went outside my room. As the door closes, Rhea strikes me with his hand.

” What? ”

” Are you insane? You know what I feel about your brother then you pointed me. ” she said with teary eyes.

” I’m sorry Rhea. But it is your fault, to begin with. ” I scolded her while raising my right eyebrow.

” You are so mean. I am broken-hearted if you did not notice. ” she said while pouting her lips

” Aish, I will do something to fix this. But for now, I wanna rest so good night and sweet dreams. ”

” Fine, good night din Alexa. ” she greeted me back

After she said that, she went up to my bed. I am sure she will sleep here. Since I do not have any energy to debate with her, I just lay down beside her.

What a day! I wonder what will happen next with this fake relationship.
