"Why are you so happy now?" Aya asked as I entered the room.
"Nothing. Is it bad to be happy?"
She suddenly threw a piece of paper at me. "You fart! What is it?"
"Tss. So annoying."
"Oh, come on. Stop trying to lie—it's not working."
I teased her, "Bwisit. Fine, fine. I'll tell you. It's like this..."
[Flashback]
"I'm his girlfriend! Hello!"
Sheesh, Alys! You really did that! Go ahead—maybe Kei will be crying tomorrow!
"G-girlfriend?" the gorgeous woman asked, looking shocked. Why is she so surprised??
"Yes!!" I said with a huge smile, then stood next to Drake and clung to his arm.
Wow!! He didn't push me away!!
Level up!!
"Really? What's your name, hija?" I think Drake's father asked.
"It's Alys. Alys Perez, soon to be Palma," I said, flashing a peace sign.
Drake's father laughed. "This kid is funny, isn't she, Katrina?"
Sister Katrina just smiled. Gosh, she's so pretty.
"Let's go inside, Alys. Have you had your snack yet?"
"Ah-eh, yes. Actually, I just dropped by to tell you that I'm your son's girlfriend!"
Drake's father laughed again. "How long have you and my son been together?"
"Uhm... About five minutes," I said, raising my hand. "But promise, Uncle—Drake's dad—we're in it for the long run! Right, Drakey Baby?"
He just stared at me and gave me that look again!!
Maybe he's gay!!
Drake's father just smiled. "I'll wait for that, Alys. By the way, don't call me Drake's father—it's too long. Hahaha!"
"Then what should I call you?"
"Uncle Steve. And this is your Aunt Katrina, my fiancée," he said, putting his arm around her.
"Hello, Uncle Steve and Aunt Katrina! Nice to meet you. Alright, I'm leaving now. Bye, Drakey Baby!"
Then I ran off. Sheesh, that was nerve-wracking!!
[End of flashback]
"The truth, Alys? Drakey Baby? You're seriously gross!!" Aya shouted.
"Do you like it? It rhymes. It's cute."
"Whatever. Why are you so happy again?"
Psh. Slow much?
"Because Drake is my boyfriend now!!"
Suddenly, my classmates turned to look at me because I screamed. The girls looked annoyed.
Psh. Bitter much.
"Good luck. He will break up with you later."
"Nope! We're official!! Uncle Steve will be mad if he divorces me!!"
Aya laughed again. "Hahaha! Sheesh, Besh. You've got guts!"
"Whatever. Haha! At least I accomplished my mission."
"You'll break up soon anyway. Trust me."
"What if we don't?"
"I'll teach you how to read time. What?! deal?"
"Deal!"
So my best friend and I made a bet. Hoho.
Drake came into the classroom and went straight to his seat—asleep. Does he not sleep at home??
The entire first period passed with him slouched at his desk. Why don't the teachers scold him?!
Unfair!!
Recess came, and of course, Aya and I were in the cafeteria—sundae and fries, same as always.
"Alys, hoy!!"
I dropped my fries. "It's okay!! Just spilled them!!"
"Shattap, Alys!! Look, Kei followed Drake. Let's go follow them!!"
I peeked outside the cafe. Yes, Kei was following Drake. Maybe she's about to do her dark plan!
Oh noes! I can't let that happen! I don't want to see Sheen cry again, my loves!
"Come on, Aya. Let's follow them!"
I dragged Aya to Drake's usual spot—under the tree. We were about 10 meters away, hiding behind a tree. We couldn't hear them, just peeking.
"Today!"
"Ayyy!!" I turned around. It was Sheen—my loves!
"What are you and Aya doing?" Then he peeked with us.
He sat down!! He saw Kei and Drake. Oh noes!!
"Ah-eh, shall we go back to the room?" I said nervously.
Damn! His tears started falling again!!
"I'll take him, Sheen!" Aya said, handing him her handkerchief. "Man, you cry a lot. Psh."
I nudged Aya, "Aya, seriously..."
"No, it's okay, Alys. I'm sorry, Aya. I just really love Kei..."
Ugh! His tears hit me in the heart too hard.
I pulled Sheen aside. "Just wait here, Aya."
We went over to Drake's hangout. Kei looked surprised.
"What now, Sheen?! Are you stalking me or what?!" Kei shouted.
I cut in, "Pardon me, Kei. Sheen's here because I'm introducing him to my boyfriend. DrakeyBaby, this is Sheen—my best friend."
Victory smile.
What now, Kei? Huh? Wow!
"Pardon? You? Drake's girlfriend? Hah! Dream on, Ms. Whoever-you-are."
I looked at Drake. "Hey! I'm your girlfriend, right?!"
"Oh." He gave me that look again.
"Did you hear that, Kei?! 'Oh' means yes! So, goodbye and good riddance! Oh, and Sheen? Aren't you leaving too? Walk together with Kei. Maybe you're both still bitter about Drakey Baby."
Then I pushed them both together. When I looked to the side, Drake was just staring at me.
Oh noes. What did I just do?!
