BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

KEN’S POV

” If that is what you want, let us end this, fake boyfriend,” Alexa stated.

It was really painful to see the woman you love to try her best to hold her tears to show you that she was strong. I could not take it anymore, so I turned my back to her. I started walking away from her while trying my best to not look back at her because I knew that if I did, my plan would be totally ruined. After I left the rooftop, I went straight to our classroom.

” She was on the rooftop. It would be best if you came there because she needs you,” I seriously said to Rhea when I approached her.

” What did you do?” Rhea asked in wonder after she stood up.

” I ended our relationship,” I answered, making her frown.

” What did you say?” Rhea asked for pardon, but her voice raised, which made my classmates look at us.

” I said Alexa and I broke up,” I firmly repeated myself. But this time, I made it louder and clearer because I saw James entering the classroom.

Rhea did not respond anymore and hurriedly walked towards the classroom’s exit. On the other hand, James seemed surprised because of what I said. My classmates also started whispering to each other. I did not bother listening to their commentaries and sat down in my seat. I needed to break up with Alexa to make it fair and square competition between James and me. That was also what Alexa’s mother requested of me when I asked her permission if I could court Alexa.

After a while, our teacher already arrived, and the morning class started. Rhea and Alexa did not attend the whole morning class. Rhea sent me a text stating that she was with Alexa in her mini-office. If you are wondering why Rhea did not show any anger toward me because of what I did to her best friend, well, she knew my plan.

Because of my deep thoughts on how I will admit all my feelings to Alexa, I did not notice that it was already lunch break. Thankfully, Caleb tapped my shoulders, so I came back to reality. I was staring blankly and concentrating on how I should admit my feelings to the woman I love. I mean, I knew I confessed my feelings to Alexa multiple times in the past, but I felt like she took it as some joke. So, I wanted to think of a big gesture to show her and the world what I truly feel towards her.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

” Let’s go, bro. Stop staring blankly there because I am starving now,” I heard Caleb comment.

” Sometimes, you love to ruin things, bro,” I remarked after seeing him frowning.

” Let’s go,” He said and took his bag.

I also stood up and took my bag. I need to eat fast since I need to meet brother Xander to ask his permission to let me court Alexa. Caleb and I were about to get out of the classroom when James suddenly appeared.

” What is your problem?” I asked in a cool manner.

” I wanted to thank you because you broke up with Alexa. She did not deserve that kind of relationship,” He said in an unfriendly way which made me smirk.

” And what did she deserve? Is that the way you treat her before? Do not make me laugh, James,” I grinned.

” You could say whatever you want to say. Now that you two ended your relationship, I could court her,” James smirked at me. Tsk, is he copying my reaction?

” I just let her go for a while in order to hold her tighter the next time. You do not have any chance to her,” I meaningfully told him.

” Huh, may the best man win if that will be the case,” He confidently replied and turned his back to me.

” That guy is to proud about himself. What do you think, bro? Should I teach him a lesson?” Caleb commented after James left.

” Let him be. You will just waste your time to him. Let’s eat because I need to go somewhere else,” I stated and started walking.

Caleb immediately followed me, and together we walked towards the cafeteria.

ALEXA’S POV

” Maybe Ken has a good reason why he broke up with you,” Rhea comforted me.

” I hope that reason is more important than how I feel right now,” I replied before diving into my pillow.

Rhea and I were here at my mini office. After my conversation with Ken, Rhea suddenly appeared on the rooftop after a few minutes. She helped me to stand and went with me here in the mini-office. As a result, we both miss our morning class.

” Always remember that everything works for our own good, Beshy,” Rhea tried her best to encourage me.

” I hope so, Beshy,” I responded shortly because until now, the thought about me and Ken’s fake relationship ending did not yet sink into my mind.

” Do you want me to call your driver to fetch you and send you home to rest?” Rhea asks in a concerned manner.

” No, thanks. You should eat lunch now, so you can attend our afternoon classes. I will be the one who will call my driver,” I replied.

” Huh? I will not leave you here until I am sure that you are really all right,” Rhea protested.

” I will be fine, Rhea. ” I assuredly told her even if the truth was I wanted to be alone.

” Are you sure?” Rhea worriedly asked.

” Yes, do not worry about me too much,” I replied and faked a smile.

” Fine, even if I knew you simply wanted to be alone,” Rhea remarked, which surprised me.

” You really seemed surprised that I know. We are friends since I do not remember when so I know you entirely, but of course, I respect your personal space that you wanted,” Rhea stated while smiling.

” Sorry,” is the only word I could say to her. I lowered my head.

” Do not be. Just call me when you need me. I will be there right away,” Rhea cheerfully told me, tapping my shoulders.

After a few moments, I heard the sound of the door closing. It seemed like Rhea had left the office already. It became a sign that my tears started falling from my eyes.
