BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I am currently walking down the path of our classroom while yawning. Gosh! I cannot remember the time I fell asleep last night because of the last message Ken sent me. He has something on his sleeves to tease me. He has nothing to do with his life but to make me irritated. After I arrived in the classroom, I went straight to my seat and buried my face on the table. It is still 30 minutes more before our first class, so I will just take a nap. Besides, Rhea, Caleb, and Ken are not here yet, so I do not have someone I can talk with.

” Good morning, beshy. ”

My head automatically raised when I heard the voice of Rhea. She seemed a little bit shocked when she saw me, so I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

” What happened to you? Why do you look like a zombie, girl? ” She said while attempting to contain her giggles.

I simply rolled my eyes and responded, ” It is Ken’s fault.”

” Oh? What happened to your boyfriend?” she asked.

” Nothing, never mind. ” I answered and buried my face again in the table.

Aside from I am sleepy, I do not want to tell Rhea what happened because she will just tease me. After a while, I accidentally look at the door that has not left Rhea unnoticed.

” Who are you waiting there? ” she said while teasing me.

” Nothing, I just took a glimpse. I am not waiting for someone. ” I said to deny her allegation.

Rhea just erupted in laughing, which is equivalent to her telling me she does not believe me. It is almost time for our first class. Where is Ken, err. I mean where our teacher is. Aish, speaking of Ken because on what he sent yesterday, I almost forgot to sleep. It is because after I finished reading his last chat, my heartbeat went crazy.

” Good morning, class. I am sorry I am late. By the way, I will not be here today because teachers will have a meeting. I will just leave activity for you to answer. Goodbye! ”

After our teacher explained the activity, she left us. I sighed. Is it not possible for them to not give us activities? I feel lazy. I am in the middle of answering the activities our teacher left us to finish; I hear some bees, I mean, whispers behind my seat.

” The practice game of our basketball team is so sudden. What a shame! We cannot watch them play. ” I hear the girl at my back whispering.

” You are right. I will not be able to watch the game of my crush, hays! ” another seatmate answered back.

” This year, our varsity team is strong enough to be a contender. Besides, I hear that the start of the high school league is a bit earlier this year. That is why our basketball team goes harder in training. ” another girl explained.

I look in their direction of them which makes them shut their mouth. Tsk! There is nothing they can do aside from talking.

My whole day went normal. However, my seatmate is nowhere to be found, so I am alone. Rhea was rushed to the clinic because of her cramps due to her period. Moreover, I did not know where Caleb and Ken went. I mean, it is better because my life has been quiet. I am in the cafeteria right now, listening to some music. I felt that Rhea was seated, so I removed my earphones.

” Hey, why do you look sad? ” she asked

” Me? Sad? What are you talking about, beshy? ”

” Psh, trying to deny it. I know you more than anyone. Are you searching for Ken? ” Rhea said with a smirk on her face.

” No way! Why would I search for him? ” I said to deny her allegation.

” Really? Well, for your information, your boyfriend is in a practice game right now. Are you not missing him? ” she said with a sarcastic tone.

” And why would I miss that idiot \, Ken? ” I irritably asked her.

I froze when I realized that my voice was loud enough to be heard by somebody. Oh, shocks! Wrong move, Lex.

” Is that the girlfriend of Ken? ” the girl at the next table parallel to us whispered, but loud enough for me to hear it.

” Apparently, yes. ” the other girl answered.

” Why does it seems like they are not in a relationship? The way that girl behave seemed like they are not in a relationship, or maybe they already broke up? ” another girl with a rough tongue concluded.

” I wish that is true. Ken is at disadvantage with that nerd. ” another girl spoke irritably.

Suddenly, something pinched my heart after hearing the conversation of the girls at the other table. I fake a smile.

” Why would I miss him? We did talk last night. ” I said loudly and with emphasis.

Rhea simply gave me a mischievous smile. I am dead. I am sure she will tease me all afternoon. We just continue eating our lunch. Afterward, we came back to our classroom to continue our classes.

My day ends without an idiot Ken pestering my life today. I should be happy, but why I am feeling this? I miss his presence. It is still different when he is around.

I decided to go to the park since it was still early to go home. I quietly seat on a bench and watch children playing happily. I cannot help but smile. After some time, someone sits next to me. I do not pay attention to him not until he speaks which makes me look in his direction.

” Hi, Alexa! Long time no see. ”
