Prologue
(Alys' POV)
"These are your books, and this is your schedule," the blonde woman in the office told me and then handed me a piece of paper. Oh my! I just arrived in NY, and then my schedule immediately appeared! Huhuhu. "And these are your keys," she told me and then started walking out of the office.
I'm here in the dorm now. I don't know why Mommy brought me here. Because Dane is in Cali, I'm here in New York. So far away from my baby bro!!
"Your parents specifically requested for you to be roommates with the smartest kid in this building," he said and continued walking. Mommy is really mean!! But it's okay, at least someone will teach me when my assignment is difficult. My degree program here is in advertising. Huhuhu. I'm going to die.:
He stopped at a room. The building was okay, clean and the atmosphere was comfortable.
"Oh, Kei's not around. Oh, well. Your things are already inside. I'll leave you now," he said and then he left me.
I went in and lay down on the bed. It turned out there were only two of us here. Is Kei nice? Again! I don't want a bad roommate, Papa God. I hope Kei is a good girl. Maybe she's like Kei in SCA. No way!!
I first organized my things but of course I took out my laptop first!!
"Hi, Drake!!" I said to the screen and then waved. Hehehe. I haven't been in the Philippines for a week, I miss Drake so much already!
He 'tssed' again and then drank his banana milk. Drake is addicted to it! Hmp! He didn't even want to give it to me when I was leaving. :(
("Why are you calling at this time of the day? Shouldn't you be supposed to be sleeping or something?")
"You're so bad, huh! I miss you, you're so angry!"
("I'm not mad. I'm just concerned about your welfare, Noob. It's ten in the evening there.")
Why does he even know the timezone in America?! Why is he a genius?! Why is his IQ only 40 points lower than mine?! Why am I not smart enough for the Philippines?! Huhuhu!!
I moved a little to the side and then I got some strawberry milk from the fridge. Huh! She thought so! I think Mommy already told me everything | needed in the room. My things are complete, I'm the only one missing. The fridge is also stuffed with strawberry food. I really love Mommy!
I also drank my Milk while he enjoyed his Banana Milk. It's annoying! I still miss Drake even though I'm in front of him!
"Eeeeel I can't rest here, Drake. I have no one to talk to. :((("
("Then talk to them. That's where you are good at, talking to people.")
"Huh??"
("You annoy most people so they are being forced to talk to you. That's what you did to me the first time I met you. You annoyed me.")
GRRRRII Drake is still so bad! I thought he would be nice to me because he said he loved me, but he's still so mean!
I adjusted the monitor and then lay down on the bed. It was so good! So soft!!
("Noob.")
"Hmmm?"
("I can see your premature boobs from here. You might wanna change position.")
I stood up immediately! Drake is so pervy!! Since that night, he's been super pervy!! Huhuhu! I still get a little nervous when he's like that. I'm not used to it, especially when I remember him saying he's waiting for my 20th birthday!
I feel like he's going to rip me off. Hehehe.
I pouted. "I don't like it here. There are a lot of blondes, the people are tall, and most of all, they all speak English!!"
Drake laughed at me. Omo! He's so cute when he smiles! I want to kiss him!!
"Okay, keep laughing. You've been mean since I left. You don't love me anymore, do you?"
She smiled at me. ("Stupid. I love you, of course. I wear this," she said then showed me the ring I gave her. Good!! I had a hard time with that timezone beforel ("Even though it looks weird.")
"No way! She's so cutie!"
("Whatever. Anyway, did you already meet your roommate?")
I shook my head. Not yet, who is my roommate? Is it Kei? Omg, if it's anyone Keil Please don't be a b-itchy like Kei Chui!
("Be nice, Noob. She'll be with you for quite some time. Even if you're stupid in English, try to speak. Anyways, they won't notice your grammar since they're using wrong grammar, as well.")
"Really??"
He nodded. ("Good night. I have to help my Dad tomorrow.")
"Why are you going to sleep?? It's morning, right??"
("Yes. Can't I sleep during daylight? Tss.")
"Don't do it!!"
("Miss me that much, Noob? I'll call you later. Bye.")
"I love you!!"
("Fine. I love you more.")
Then... I made a heart sign before Drake hung up the call! Hihihi. I still get excited when Drake says I love mel Before, all he said was Tss, now there's variety! There's I love you and I miss you! Oh, right? Boyfriend is improving!
I first organized my books and a few things and then I went to sleep. Maybe Kei won't come. It'll be tomorrow.
(Tripp's POV)
"Dad, why did you bring Tofer here with me? it's crazy, oh!" I said to Papa on the phone. Anyway, I agreed to come to NYU, the only problem is, I'm with my great cousin.
Tofer lay down on the bed. Papa has a flat here in New York, luckily it's only walking distance to NYU so we're here. It's just crazy! Why is Tofer still with me, he's such a nuisance in my life! If Drake is already a nuisance, this little piece of land will be twice as troublesome to me. He's such a bad influence. Psh.
"Hey, Tripp. He'll make you feel better soon. Just chill, cousin," he said, then he grabbed his bag and took out his belongings. Aish!
I threw his mess at him. We just got here, and the apartment was already covered in mess. It was all chickpea skin. I think this little guy is going to make me his slave.
"Oh my, Tripp! You were only like that with Drake before, why are you now being mean to me too?"
I thought my life would be peaceful here because there were no more annoying cousins, but I still have someone with me. What's worse, there's Tofer! I can tolerate Drake better.
I took the key from the container, "I'm going to eat. Are you coming with me?"
He quickly stood up. "Where are you going to eat?"
"So many questions? At the diner outside. Just ice cream for dinner. Let's go."
"Yes, yes. You're really PMS-ing, you look like Drake."
"Another name for Drake is, I'll make you sleep outside so you can die of cold."
After Tofer got ready, we went out. Why did I suddenly move here? Psh. Then it's school time, it's still vacation in the Philippines. Okay. I should have started next semester. Hey.
(Aya's POV)
"Aish, what's up, Kent?!"
Kent is annoying!! He's so clingy. Psh. I don't know what's wrong with him. Ever since CB and I became classmates in a class, Kent has been super duper clingy. Ugh! It's a bit sickening!
"Bee, okay. Hehehe. Okay, are you going to dinner at home??"
I shook my head. "I don't want to. Later, introduce me to your parents!"
"Yes, that's why I'm inviting you, right?"
I shook my head even more. I'm not prepared for meeting the parents! It would be nice if Kent's mom was just as crazy as Mama, but hey, I don't know, maybe his mom is grumpy! I miss Besh! How did he feel when Drake introduced him? Tsk. Uncle Steve is also cool, so I feel like it was easy for Besh.
"Bee... We're almost six months old..."
"Oh, done?"
"Beell Go ahead, agree."
Aish.
"Kent, I don't want to. Next time, okay?"
He turned his back, Come on.
"I don't know about you, Aya. Other girls really want to be introduced to their boyfriend's parents. You don't want to. It's up to you. Go to your Sheen."
What's up?!!!
(Drake's POV)
"Drake, say cheese!"
Psh. If not for the favor I'm asking, I wouldn't have agreed to this stupid set up.
Dad approached me. "Son, I said it was a family picture, not a funeral picturel Smile, okay?"
I tried my best to smile. I look weird when I smile so I don't smile often. Alys said she likes seeing me smile but I still think I look weird so I still won't smile... unless she does something stupid. Stupidity is Alys' middle name..
She's a noob.
Aunt Katrina stood beside me and my Dad on the other side. Her tummy is already bulging. I wonder if my brother would like me. I think I'll make a really cool brother. I'm waiting for Ethos already. I want the baby. I want to have my own baby but I should wait.
We all tried to smile and it's awkward. My Dad is the only person who likes this idea. I think even Tita Katrina finds this set up weird. I find this really weird.
After the photoshoot, I went out and tried to call Alys. I want to go there, too, but my Dad won't allow me to. He said I should finish my studies here first. He's being unfair. I heard that Tripp is there as well. It's not fair.
"Drake?"
My Dad said. He followed me outside.
"What?" I said and then I tried calling Alys again. She's not picking up. Maybe she got into trouble again. She's a trouble maker, for all I care.
He took a deep sigh. "I know you really want to follow New York."
"Yes. Can I go now?"
He shook his head. This is unfair. I've been following him around. I agreed to the photoshoot, I even agreed to going back to the house, I even signed those damned papers saying that I won't get my inheritance if I take my studies for granted. I've been practically licking his a-ss.
"I have a deal," he said.
"What?"
"Take an APE for your minor classes, if you pass that, I'll let you go on vacation. Just a vacation."
I nodded. "Easy. Prepare my tickets now."
"You are so arrogant."
"I'm a genius, Dad. I thought you knew that already? Anyway, bye. I'll be studying to be sure."
