BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

Ken and I had our in-depth discussion at home over three weeks ago. Nothing so special happened to me in the past few weeks. As a graduating student, a study is a life. As for Ken and I? Well, he still thrills me every day. I admit that we became closer these past weeks as I know him more, and I think —-

“Ouch! ” I moaned

I turned to the person who blinked at me in vain and glared at him.

” That is what you get for not listening in class,” he says

” Why again? ” I irritably asked him.

He just did not answer and looked at the front. I turned around and regretted it because I saw our teacher’s nose was already smoking. You are here now, Alexa, still daydreaming! I hate myself.

“Miss Alcantara, did you understand our lesson?” our teacher asked in seriousness.

Wait, did she teach us lessons? Aish Alexa, you are not listening. Because I had no choice and I did advance reading, I was confident to answer our teacher.

” Yes, Ma’am,” I replied

I saw my classmates laugh, and Caleb was also holding back his laughter, so Rhea hit him. While the person next to me was shaking his head to the side.

” Oh, I see, Miss Alcantara. It looks like you are in another world because you are not really listening. For your information Miss, we are not discussing it yet.” our teacher said rudely and irritably.

” Sorry. ” I said turning down my head. Oh em gee, what a shame what you did, Alexa.

“Since you are not listening to our discussion, you will be our candidate for Ms. BEU.” our teacher said seriously, making my eyes widen

” But Ma’am —- ” I said with a prostrating tone.

” No more buts Miss Alcantara. That is your consequence for not paying attention. “Ma’am said flatly.

I bowed down depressed. Waaaaah, I hate wearing dresses or gowns. Maybe I used to love it but not anymore. My attention returned when our teacher spoke again.

“And, Mr. Valenzuela, since you and Ms. Alcantara are in a relationship, it is better that you are her only partner. Unless you are busy with the basketball team, you can be replaced. ”

” No, Ma’am, it is okay. I will not let my girlfriend be paired with someone else.” Ken answered our teacher with a smile.

Because of what Ken said, my classmates screamed in excitement.

” Really? young people, fine. Do your best both of you. Class dismissed. ” After our teacher said that, she left.

My classmates have also started going out, it is lunch break. Caleb, Rhea, and Ken also stood up, while I continued to mourn.

“Let us have lunch already. ” Ken asked

I glared at him. This man is also despicable.

“What? What have I done to you? ” he asked.

” Why did you agree with, Ma’am? ” I started crying

“What? I think it is interesting, and I just saved you. If we did not agree, we might fail her class. You know that she is a terror. ” he explained.

“Interesting, your face?! “I was annoyed with him

” Why? Do you really not want to join? ” he asked.

” I do not want as in capital I DO NOT. Do you think I have an edge over those who will join there? I hate dresses and gowns that much, so it does not suit me. ” I almost whispered the end words.

I bowed down in depression. Ken held my chin and looked up. He removed my glasses, and our eyes met. Ohmygesh, we are only about 2 inches apart.

” Remember this, you are beautiful, so everything will suit you, including me,” he said smiling at me which made me blush.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? Why is there a punch line? My heartbeat quickened at what he said. Justice, I really need to get checked up. I think I have heart disease.

” Err, lovebirds, we are hungry. ” Caleb groined

Because of what he said, Ken let go of me and looked away,

” We have not had lunch yet, then those sweets. ” Rhea hissed, so I glared at her

“Let’s go” Ken begged again, but he did not look at me

I stood up and fixed my bag on my shoulder. We were going out when a woman suddenly approached me.

“Ahm excuse me, which one of you is Miss Alcantara? ” he asked

“It is me, why? ” I answered him while smiling.

“You are being summoned to the principal office right now,” he says

I was surprised by what he said, but I managed to nod, so he left. I turned to them to say goodbye.

“Eat first, I will go to the principal office first. ” I said while smiling, but deep inside I am nervous. Even if mommy is the principal, she looks at everyone equally.

They nodded, so I waved and ran to the principal office. When I got there, I knocked first.

“Come in.” Mom said

I went in and closed the door. Mommy pointed to the seat near her, so I sat down. I tasted it before I spoke.

” Why did you call me in, Madam Principal? ” I politely asked him

“Yes! Actually, Ma’am Castro also just left,” she said which made me nervous. Ma’am Castro was the teacher earlier who volunteered me at Ms. BEU. Did she report it?

” I know that look Alexa, just calm down. She just passed me the list of candidates for Ms. And Mr. BEU, and your name is there, so I called you. ” Mom explained

“Ahh, because I was chosen in our class to be a representative with Ken. ” I said

” Do you really want to join, sweetie? ” mommy asked

I was suddenly silent. It is like I was complaining earlier but now I cannot open my mouth anymore.

“Sweetie? ”

I came back to my senses when I heard mommy.

” I want to try. ” I said while smiling.

Mom smiled at me and replied, “you know I will always support you no matter what happens. ”

“Thanks, mom. Maybe it is time for me to go back to my old self. ” I am still smiling in response to her.

“I must thank Ken for that. ” Mom saidContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

” What? ” I asked her in surprise

” Did you think you could hide your relationship with Ken from me?” Mom asked seriously

I was confused by what mommy said.

“Mom, what’s the matter” I stammered.

“Sssssh, it is okay, Lex. As long as you are happy, I will support you. He just tries to hurt you, he will see. ” mommy said arrogantly

I gasped at what he said.

” Is there a problem, Lex? ” mommy asked

” Because mommy, it is like that. ” I started

I could not do anything, but tell mommy the whole truth. I do not want to hide everything from her anymore. I do not want her to hope that Ken and my relationship will not end. I know the time will come when this fake relationship will also end.

” So that is what happened. ” I smiled happily at mom

“Do you love him?” Mom asked

” I do not know, I really do not know mom. He gives me confidence, but sometimes he is also the one who destroys it. He destroys but sometimes makes my day. He is the one who makes me smile but also makes me lose weight in my life. ” I gave a lengthy explanation to mom.

” You need to know the answer, I do not want you to be hurt in the end. ” mom advised.

I just nodded in response to what mom said. I can see the concern in his eyes. After a while, I heard the sound of the school alarm, a signal that the lunch break was over. So, I said goodbye to mommy and crossed the road to our classroom again. While walking, I am thinking about the answer to the question of whether I am really falling to Ken.
