BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I woke up early the next day with a noticeable smile on my face. I admit that I became happy these past few days, which I have missed about myself for the past year. I stopped daydreaming when my cell phone suddenly rang. I immediately get it and read the message.

“Good morning. See you at school. Do not be late. “– Ken

A smile was drawn to my face after I read his message. I went off my bed and then fixed it before I went straight to the comfort room. After twenty minutes, I am now standing in my closing and searching around because I cannot choose something to wear. Tsk, this was what I meant when I said that it is hard to change your fashion style. I am also not comfortable. If you are confused, I have decided to finally remove my disguise. It is because I already feel safe and secure.

“Ma’am Alexa, your mom and dad is calling you already downstairs. “I heard our nanny while she was still knocking on the door.

“Yes, I will downstair already. “I answered back politely.

I heard footsteps going away from the door, so I brought my attention back to my closet. I just got the first set of clothes I saw in my closet. Whatever! This can be good. After fixing myself, I eventually go downstairs. I caught up with my mom and dad eating breakfast but did not see my brother.

“Good morning, Mom! Good morning, Dad. “I greeted them cheerfully.

Mom looked in my direction, and then shocked was written all over her face because her eyes widened when she saw me. She also hit Dad, which made him look at me, and he acted the same as my mother. They are really husband and wife, kidding. I feel flattered because of how my mother and father look at me. I actually did not know if the clothes I was wearing were suitable for me. I am wearing an off-shoulder baby pink dress that until below my knee. I also curl the end strips of my hair.

“Ahm, mom? Dad? “I called them in a not confident manner.

It seems they are back in reality because my mom ran toward me and hugged me.

“You look so gorgeous, sweetie. “My mom commented with teary eyes.

“Thanks, mom. “I thank her while smiling because of her compliment.

I looked at Dad, and our eyes met “do I look okay, Dad? “I asked

“You look like a princess, my daughter. “Dad answered while smiling.

“Of course, she is the only princess in the family. “Kuya Sebastian commented.

Mom, Dad, and I looked in his direction. He is still carrying his training bag. He seems so tired.

“You are still a joker, brother. “I told him in a teasing way.

“This, I am a joker but not on your case. I am telling the truth, “Kuya answered while laughing.

“You seem having fun on your training, Sebastian. You forget your rule in the company. “Dad hardly told Kuya.

I gave Kuya a “you are so dead “sign. But the idiot still smiled at Dad.

“Let Sebastian enjoy himself. After he graduates, you can start lecturing him about the company. “Mom talked, Dad.

“Fine, fine! You two, go here, and be seated so we can start eating. “Dad instructed.

I secretly smiled. Even though Dad is super strict, Mom can still make him obedient. I sat on my chair, and Kuya Seb did the same. I turned my eyes to the table. It has been a while since the atmosphere of this dining table is so light. It is just a waste that we are not complete anymore.

“Is there a problem, Alexa? “Kuya Sebastian asked me.

Kuya Sebastian’s question made me back to reality. I slowly shook my head and smiled at him. Then, we continue eating our breakfast. After we were done eating, I bid goodbye to them because I was running late for school.

When I arrived at the school, some students looked at me like they saw a new face.

“Look bro, she is beautiful ”

“Is she a new student? ”

“If she became my girlfriend, it will feel like I am in heaven already. ”

“Is she still single? ”

Those are some words I heard while I was walking in the hallway toward our classroom. I do not know what to feel because of what they are saying about me. I do not know if I should be happy or angry. When I entered the classroom, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me, stunned. Just like what I thought, they will not know me. Well, I guess I am back.

“Beshy! “Rhea exclaimed in her most shrill voice.

I put my two hands on my ears because of Rhea’s shout. Like, seriously, she is like she has eaten a megaphone. I glared at her because of what she did, but she just raised her two fingers and signed peace. I come closer to her place.

“Good morning. “I greeted Rhea and Caleb energetically.

“Good morn—” Caleb did not finish his statement.

I slightly chuckle because of Caleb’s face. He is eating while turning away a moment ago. Then, when he turned his gaze to me, his mouth suddenly opened, and the food he was eating fell from his mouth. Thankfully, he is handsome because it is so gross.

“What? “I asked him while laughing.

“Am I in heaven already? “Caleb asked out of nowhere

“Of course not. You are silly. “I answered him, still laughing

Caleb wiped something in his eyes and then closed open his eyes. What is wrong with this guy?

“Do you want me to punch your face so that you will know that you are not dreaming? “Rhea asked irritably.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Oww looks like someone is jealous. Caleb shook his head; he seemed scared of Rhea.

“Anyways beshy, I love your outfit today. “Rhea complimented me in amusement.

“Thanks, I really thought that it will not suit me. I am not yet used to it. “I answered her shyly

“Everyone here is also amazed and not yet used to it. “Rhea replied while laughing.

A chuckle comes out of my mouth. This day just feels so correct but incomplete. I looked around the classroom but did not see who I was looking for. Where is he?

“If you are looking around for your Romeo, he went outside because you are nit here. “Rhea asked teasingly.

“Ow, did he said where he was going? “I asked

“In the school gate to wait for you, but you are already here. “the guy behind me answered.

“Ayieeeeeeeeeeeeee” our classmate shouted in unison

I think all the blood in my body went up on my face. It is not because of what he said but because he was hugging me from behind. My heartbeat also went wild. I saw Rhea smirking because of my reaction. Tsk, tsk. I am sure of what Rhea is thinking. Ken suddenly removed his embrace for me when our teacher coughed.

“Hey, lovebirds! This is not the place for you two to be so sweet. Why are you still? Go to the gym, immediately. “our teacher said teasingly.

“Yes, Ma’am. We will leave already. Excuse us. “Ken answered our teacher politely.

Ken and Caleb exchanged fist bumps, while Rhea waved at me while mouthing “good luck “. I smiled back at her. Ken put his arms on my shoulder and started walking towards the exit. When we were already outside the classroom, I pinched his ears firmly.

“Ouch, it hurts. “he said in a complaint.

“You are taking advantage already, mister. “I irritably told him.

“You like it, anyway. “he said while smirking.

My face turned red because of what he said. I still managed to reply, “of course not. ”

After I told him those words, I walked faster until I reached the gymnasium.

KEN’S POV

I smiled because of the reaction of Alexa, a while ago. It seems like my charm is starting to be effective on her. I will have you, Alexa. I will not stop, especially now that I like you. Yeah, right. I like her. She is the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I will protect her daily. It may sound cheesy, but that is what I felt towards her. I immediately follow her to the gym. When I arrived, the orientation was already starting. I look around to find the woman who made my heart beats again. I saw her with a dark aura. I went near her. As I sit…

“Oh, why do you have a dark aura? You are just giggling, a while ago. “I asked her in a teasing manner.

She just glared at me and answered, “what took you so long?! ”

“Why? Miss me already? “I answered back.

“Miss your face, stop dreaming “, she answered irritably.

I smiled because of what she said. She is adorable when she is pissed off. Hay, I really love this girl.

“What are you smiling for? Just listen on the orientation. “she said, still irritated.

I turned my gaze in front because she might punch me. I remember she said that she is a master in taekwondo. I started listening to the orientation as she said, She must be thankful that I like her. After the orientation, we started rehearsing how to walk on the stage and the dance choreography we would perform.
