BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

After Ken and I turned in the Question and Answer segment, the organizer gave us a fifteen minute break to rest. That span of time, too, is enough to let the judges decide on the winners.

” Water?” I heard Ken offer while handing me bottled water.

” Thank you,” I sweetly replied and took the bottled water from his hand.

I still felt that he was still looking at me even though I was lowering my head which made me a little bit uncomfortable. I also could not look at him because of what I had done earlier. It is just like admitting to the whole campus that I am in love with him.

” C-can you stop staring ” I stammered, gosh Alexa

” About your answer earlier,” He said.

” I am going to the rest room ” I stated as I stood up.

I did not wait for him to answer and left him right away. I went directly to the restroom. I still do not know how I will tell him what I am feeling towards him, so it will be better if I avoid him now. I decided to go back to where I had left Ken when Tiffany stopped me before I successfully exited the restroom.

” What is your problem?” I asked while raising my left eyebrow.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

” You are being too courageous, know your place, nerd!” Tiffany harshly told me.

” I know my place. It is actually you who was assuming things between the two of us,” I replied and smirked at her.

” Oh really? What do you think? You are in some sort of drama. That something fake can be real especially in love?” She mockingly told me and laughed.

” You know it is none of your business, so back off.” I coldly told her.

” You are not only a day dreamer, but you are also a thief,” Tiffany called me names.

” What? What are you talking about?” I confusedly asked her.

” You are feeling innocent. You are trying too hard to replace Cassie. First in your family, second in this school and third —”

” Alexa ! ”

Tiffany did not finish what she wanted to tell me because Rhea arrived.

” What are your business again to Alexa?” Rhea angrily asked Tiffany.

” What? We were just talking like the old times,” Tiffany innocently replied.

” I am not believing what are you saying. I am sure you are bullying her again,” Rhea accused her when she went closer to us.

” Stop it, beshy. We should get going,” I tried to stop Rhea by grabbing her towards the restroom’s exit. But before we went outside, I faced Tiffany once again.

” I know why you are too angry to me. I do not owe you an apology, but I owe you a thanksgiving ” I stated, which raised her eyebrow.

” I know you are behind the mistaken blind date between me and Ken in attempting to embarrassed me to the whole campus, but you did not succeed. Instead, you make us closer to each other. So, thank you for giving me a chance to be loved by someone. ” I sweetly smiled at her. I saw how her face changed in surprise after hearing what I said. I also felt that Rhea was also shocked about my revelation.

” What are you talking about? I am not your sort of cupid,” Tiffany deniably told me.

” You can deny it all you want, but in case you forgot, I will let you remember. I am Alexandra L. Alcantara,” I remarked and emphasized my name to her.

I turned my back to her, and we started walking already. We were almost where I left Ken when Rhea suddenly stopped and faced me.

” Hey, girl, before we go back there. What do you mean about Tiffany’s involvement with your blind date with Ken?” Rhea asked. It seemed like she was too curious about it.

” I already told earlier, beshy. I am Alexandra L. Alcantara,” I replied while laughing.

” What is the connection?” Rhea confusedly told.

” I have access in every information here in school, so it is easy for me to know about things especially the culprit,” I explained.

” You are right, but wait, when did you know?” Rhea asked.

” When my mother called me last time. She showed me the footages on the foundation day,” I replied.

” What? Are you investigating ?” Rhea surprisingly asked.

” Yes, it is because I do not believe that everything was coincidence. I thought that someone plotted plan for that day, and it turns out that I was right,” I stated.

” Well, she got a dose of her own medicine. From a disaster to a favorite love story ” She teasingly told me.

” Stop that, let us go back. The announcement of winners might start already,” I said to change the flow of our conversation.

” Psh, is that really the reason or you were just scared that your soon to be real boyfriend might be surrounded by other girls?” Rhea teasingly told me and laughed.

” Shut up. If he hears you, he will surely be confident on himself,” I said.

” Psh. You already admitted to the whole campus that you like him. You also intertwined your hand with him,” Rhea kept teasing me.

” I just answered the question, I am not yet admitting it,” I defended myself.

” Not yet, so you have a plan?” Rhea laughed after emphasizing the word not yet.

” You are so happy, girl. Let’s go,” I shyly told her,

” Psh, my best friend is in love,” Rhea chuckled and pinched me on my waist.

” Stop it, beshy,” I said between my laughter.

” You seemed so happy there,”

We looked at where the voice came from. There we saw Caleb and Ken near the door backstage. They went closer to us.

” What is the source of that happiness?” Caleb asked.

” What for you? Hmp!” Rhea harshly replied.

I frowned because of the way Rhea acted. This girl’s mood swing is easily changed. Earlier, she was laughing, then now she is frowning.

” Tsk, I am not asking you,” Caleb coldly responded.

I looked in Ken’s direction because of how Caleb replied, but Ken shrugged his shoulder. What happened between this two? We simply had the Question and Answer portion, and now they are fighting.

” Wait, what is happening here?” I asked Caleb and Rhea.

” Why do you not ask the friend of your boyfriend?” Rhea replied while rolling her eyes.

” Your bestfriend who is hard to understand know better,” Caleb irritably remarked.

My jaw dropped after hearing their answer. Ken and I exchanged looks. We both do not know what to say or do about those two.

” Excuse Miss Alexa and Sir Ken, the organizer asked you to prepare already. The coronation will be in three minutes,” The staff politely said. I did not even notice that he had come.

” Okay, we will go there,” Ken replied. The staff simply nodded before leaving us. I faced Rhea and Caleb.

” We will go ahead. Beshy, I will talk to you later,” I stated while giving Rhea a meaningful look.

” We will get going. Behave you two. Caleb we will talk later too. ” Ken said with his own version of a meaningful look towards Caleb.

Both of them simply nodded, so that was the cue for Ken and me to go back backstage. We also had our final retouch of makeup before the awarding ceremony. Speaking of coronation, I wonder how these things will turn out.
