Chapter 34
-Alys-
"Drake!!" I said to Drake. How could he have put the choco mallows I took back into the container!!
"I'll pay for it. Just put it in your cart!" I said. It's so annoying to be with Drake at the hypermart! He's so health conscious! I can't even put any junk foods or sweets in his cart. It's filled with only healthy foods. My goodness!
>.>
He just looked at me evilly and then pushed the cart towards the bread aisle.
=
It's so boring with this!!
I walked back to the chocolates and then I got my own cart. Ha! He feels the same way! I have to pay too!! He thought he was the only one rich?? I'm Guzman, Perez, Ferrer! I'm rich, isn't it obvious?
I bought my own stocks that I don't know how I'm going to sneak into our house without mommy seeing. It's also because I'm feeling health conscious. It's fat. = =
Chocolate mallows.
Choco sticks.
Chocolate pie.
Chocolate bars.
Hehehehehe.
I was about to grab a chocolate wafer when someone suddenly pulled at my cute braided hair!!
I looked back.
Who else would be so rude as to pull my hair??
"What's your problem??"
"Sss," he said, looking at my cart, "are you trying to get a diabetes?"
"Please? Besides, I won't eat it all at once!"
He left his push cart, then came over to my cart and put the things I had taken back in the container.
"Drake, what the hell!!"
>>
He looked at me evilly and then turned everything back.
Only one is left of all the things I took.
Huhuhu.
He bent down a little so that we were level.
"Stop whining."
"So why are you making me eat my chocolates?? I don't make you eat your vegetables, huh?"
Bumuntong hininga siya, "i'm just trying to protect your well being, okay? If you want, i'll buy you chocolates once you finished devouring those.. monsters."
He said, looking disgustedly at my cart, which still had quite a few chocolates in it.
"This is art! Apparently you're not sweet, so you don't like sweets!!"
He smirked again. Jusko. Is this the TDPW again??
"Whatever. Let's go," he said to me, pulling me towards the counter.
THERE'S NOT A SINGLE LINE?? IT'S SO AWFUL!!!
We paid the cashier, but he was just being stingy. He gave me a free drink. Mehehe. You think Drake isn't stingy??
We took a cab back to his condo even though it was a bit of a walking distance. We're not masochists who walk while carrying grocery bags, right?? Plus, we're still waiting for Drake's ordered bed that took us hours to choose. This guy is so talented!! I had no idea how to treat him!
We have reached the 19th floor.
>.>
"What?? What's that look again???" I said to him. There he was again, staring at me like I wanted to jump out of this condo!!
"Open the door."
"You're welcome. Do I live there??"
"You know the code."
"I have a short term memory. I forgot.." I told him. It's true, right??
He made me suffer and then took all the grocery bags from my hands. He opened one of them and handed me a chocolate bar and bottled water.
"Stand there until you remember," he said, pressing the control panel, then going inside and.. leaving me??
HE LEFT ME IN THE HALLWAY??
-Eydee-
And that's exactly what happened. Drake went inside his newly acquired condo while Alys was left outside with a chocolate bar and bottled water. Do you think Drake even felt sorry for her and gave Alys food? Hahaha!
"Drake naman!!" Alys said while knocking on the door. She felt like Drake could hear her? Was her condo sound proof? Even if Alys screamed, Drake wouldn't care. Especially since he was in his autistic phase again.
"Hala, what's this PC??" Alys said, worrying about the passcode. Sometimes it's surprising why Alys's head is so weak, isn't it? Her parents are smart. What's wrong with Alys? Did she inherit all recessive genes?
While Alys was trying to remember the PC in Drake's condo, Drakey Baby had already put the non-perishable items they had bought in the cupboard. The items they and Alys had bought, such as the bed, fridge, etc., would arrive later. Uncle Steve was so quick to evict! Drake hadn't even prepared an evacuation plan!
Drake opened some nachos and dip while waiting for Alys. He went over to the monitor and saw Alys standing there looking stupid and in a trance.
Drake came back and sat on the side.
'Tss. My noob girlfriend,' he said in his mind.
"How annoying!!" said Alys.
Who else knows their monthsary?? That's the only clue Alys remembers.
calling..
Sheen (ex-loves)
("Hello?")
"Sheen!!"
("Hey, Alys. Why were you summoned?")
"Uhmm, Sheen?"
("Hmm?")
"When is Drake and I's monthly anniversary?"
Sheen was a little surprised by what he heard. Who in her right mind would call her best friend who used to be her crush and ask about her current boyfriend's monthly, right?? It's just you, Alys Zyril Perez! You're alone!
("November 31. Is that right? But, Alys..")
"Yes, November 31!!" Alys said while mentally counting what November is equivalent to.
("Isn't there a November 31?") Sheen asked.
"What are you doing, Sheen! Is there anything?!" Alys said, "thanks, Sheen!!" then put down the phone.
Shit, he remembered. Mygashh!!
-Alys-
Press press press.
Wow!!
1131.
I took out my phone and saved 1131 in my notes. Oh, that's hard!! What if Drake gets attacked by autistic mode again? Later I'll be stranded in front of his door forever!
And the stupid man is enjoying life! Just eat nachos while I struggle to think about the PC in his dirty condo!!
"You're welcome!!" I said, sitting down next to him.
"It's not my fault you're such a noob."
"You were just a noob a while ago, huh!!"
He just made it hard for me. It's annoying!!
"You're so grumpy. You're gay!!"
He laughed.
"And what's so funny??"
"You."
HARD.
"You have a bad attitude."
I said. Well, this creature has been bugging me for a while now!!
"I know," he said.
"Can you please reduce the harsh words?"
He shook his head.
"If it's just me, it's okay. But what if it's other people? They'll think you're bad. That's a bit of a tone down, Drake.."
He looked at me.
"They won't hear my harsh words because i won't talk to them."
"So why don't you want to talk to them?? You're too introverted."
"Because they can't catch my interest."
"Because you're so maarte," sabi ko, mimicking his maarti tone.
"You're the only person i talk to, in case you haven't noticed because you're such a noob."
SHETS WHAT IS THAT I'M EXCITED EVEN IF I DON'T LIKE WHAT HE'S SAYING!!
.">
"Does that mean... that I caught your attention?"
His lips arched into a familiar loopsided grin. Calm down, heart. Don't palpitate too much.
"Catch is an understatement. You got me whipped and smitten. Hard."
-Eydee-
And Alys and Drake were arguing after their whipped and smitten moment. No joke. They stared at each other for about 15 seconds then awkward. Bwahaha! Because of course!! They were awkward because someone rang the doorbell and the magical bed and appliances had arrived.
"Just stay here," Alys said to the moms who were coming up. Shems has a lot to take care of. Luckily, Drake's condo has a second floor.
It also took them a few hours to get ready. It was 7 pm but Alys was still there with Drake. Mygash, mommy Dana must be angry!!
"It's already 7!!" Alys said when she looked at her phone.
Drake ignored him because he was busy putting food in the fridge.
"I'm home, okay? Bye!" Alys said as she ran towards the elevator. She said she was going to take a taxi. Geez.
Drake just rolled his eyes and grabbed his mysterious cardigan and wallet and followed Alys downstairs.
Alys had already gotten a cab but Drake stopped the cab then took a picture of the plate number and approached the driver, "if something bad happens to her, I'll chase you to the end of hell," he said while handing the driver a 500 peso bill and turning around. Alys was fine but of course she was excited about it! Hahaha! Drake didn't come with him because he was cleaning the room. Besides, he already texted Daddy Andy. What the hell, those two were talking. Alys just didn't know because it was boys talk. Hahaha!

Tomorrow.
"Since you are all aware of the upcoming entrance exam of St. Claire's Academy, today will be a free day for you to review on your own. I advise that you go to the library and re-read your previous lessons thoroughly. St. Claire's Academy is one of the best schools in the country, if not the best. Do your best, students."
And they dismissed it. Free cut all day long!
The smart ones Sheen, Kent, Kei, and Drake went straight to the library to study. Kei was also going to try to take the exam even though he was sure that he would continue his studies in Russia. Sheen and Kent were pressured. It was embarrassing because they were the President and Vice of the school but still had exams. And Drake? He was going to sleep in the library. He stayed up late last night because he was fixing up his condo.
Feeling smart, Alys and Aya headed straight to the cafeteria.
"Besh, let's just study at Brent," Aya said to Alys.
"We'll probably fall over," Alys said to Aya as they ordered immortal soda and fries.
"So what if you passed the SCA? You're always studying!!" said Aya.
"Well, they said mommy they'll send me to America if I don't pass!!"
"Don't you want to go there? Dane is probably there!!"
=
Aya had a crush on Dane before. That's why Dane is awkward with Aya. Your sister's best friend, she's looking out for you. Ew.
"Stop it, my brother! Besides, I don't like it. If you don't pass the SCA, you won't pass Brent. That's good too.."
"There are so many pogi," said Aya with a twinkle in her eyes. I'll report you to your KL!!
"That's it. Mehehe," Alys also said. Even though the two have a love life, of course the cute boys still have blood. Mwahaha!
"That's enough, Besh. We're only at the same school, right?" Aya said.
"Sure. Just study! You know, we'll get lucky in the SCA!"
Aya just shook her head. She's been studying with her KL all weekend. Sometimes she even studies in her dreams. She's immersed herself in acads too much!
Hahaha!
They just ate while the other students were killing themselves studying and Drake was sleeping soundly.
After a few minutes, Drake came out of the bathroom because he was suddenly hungry. Of course, it wasn't like before when he had a helper to prepare his food.
He went to the café when he saw Alys and Aya. He walked there because.. there was nothing. He was bored.
Alys blushed when she remembered last night.
Aya kept looking back and forth between Alys and Drake because Alys was blushing while Drake was eating.
'Besh is so in love. Even just by chewing on Drake's food, he's thrilled!' Aya thought.
Drake was conscious because Alys was watching him while he chewed.
"Staring is rude."
"But not if you're the one i'm staring at," sabi ni Alys.
SHETS!! THE ALYS PEREZ WAY NA BA 'TO???
"It's too early for me to throw up. Bye," Aya said as she left.
And Alys and Drake stare at each other. What's next?
