Chapter 14 - CHAPTER 14 - Dance Partner

"Well, what can you say, Kei?" Asked with a smug look on my face.

Of course!! I only get to brag once so I should make the most of it!!

Wow!

"L-like I care. For all I know, maybe you just forced Drake to come along. You and your pathetic ways," said Kei.

Gosh, your voice is full of a hint of jealousy!! Hahahaha! I don't even want to say that I'm so awesome because Drake is my partner :> Wahaha! Even if Drake's fans almost killed me, I don't care.

I am the queen of the night~

It was still all smiles when we entered the AP venue. Kei also left with her minions. Hahahaha! So I can feel the attention. The spotlight is only once, so make the most of it!!

"Next," said the photographer on the photowall.

(-_-) How can I ask Drake that we need to take a picture without me looking him in the eye?? Maybe I'll suddenly end up sitting on the floor again, it's hard!! I think I really need to get my knee checked up.

"Ah, Drake?"

He turned to me. Good Lord, why can he look like that?? My knees will go weak again, I can't hardly speak~ always plays in the background.

Best solution, I kind of looked over his shoulder. I almost looked at his chest!! Maybe it's because I'm so stupid!! Why is his well-toned chest obvious in the suit??

That's so unfair!!

"Pictures?" I said weakly.

He didn't speak anymore, well obviously because this man only speaks once in a blue moon!!

We took our positions in front of the photo wall, "closer," said the photographer.

Why is this photographer so demanding??? Didn't he feel the sexual tension- I mean my tension in approaching Drake???

I came one inch closer, "Closer, Miss," said the photographer again.

I came another one inch closer.

Lintek!!

That's three inches!!!

The photographer scratched his head, "a little closer, Miss."

I would have come one inch closer but--

What's up???

*click*

What on earth??

Is it true---

Drake put his arm around me in the picture?!?! 🩷

AYA'S POINT OF VIEW

This CB is annoying!! Do you leave me here??

"Hey," a man suddenly approached me.

Who is that (-_-)

I ignored him. Duh! Mommy said, don't talk to strangers when your mouth is full.

I can eat!!

He suddenly laughed, "here," then he wiped the side of my lips, "you're a mess eater," then he continued to wipe me.

I looked at him badly. (>.>)

"You're not even thrilled? Tss," he said.

Is this guy an addict???

"Who are you?"

He smiled then took my hand and kissed it, "Kent Justin Valdez, at your service."

(-_-) SMELLING PLAYBOY!!!

"I need to go to restroom," I said while he was still holding my hand.

He laughed, "hahaha! It's fun to talk to you," he said. What fun did I say?? crazy "I've been watching you for a while now, you're not leaving your seat."

"Are you a stalker????"

He shook his head, "admirer. You're pretty."

Aya-(>.>)

(^_^) - Kent

"Your face is thick. Get out of here," I told him.

That monkey's face is so thick!! Who is this again?? Lesh!! CB is really struggle for this!! Why did he leave me??? This monkey kept approaching me!!

ALYS' POINT OF VIEW

I was still dumbfounded when entering the venue. ~(*o*)~ I can't believe it!! I really thought he was allergic to women!! But why did he put his arm around me???

When I entered, I met Sheen.

(-_-) I hate him. He didn't pick me up. He is P A A S A!

"Alys?"

*walk walk walk*

"Alys, hey," he said. He pouted, "why are you ignoring me?"

I looked at him evilly (I had a little trouble because he's really cute *O*), "well, it's because you didn't pick me up, Hope you could!!!"

He was surprised at what I said, "huh? Aya told me, she'll tell you. She said Drake is your partner so it's just us.."

That's really Aya Pineda!!

She is still continuing her match making with Drake and me. Grrrr. Doesn't she know that Sheen my loves is number one in my heart?? Isn't that already obvious from the many pictures of him in my room??? Another thing, I still thought that Drake really picked me up, I was almost thrilled. (-_-)

"Anyway. You're a useless best friend, Sheen. Let's break up (-_-)"

Sheen smiled and then pinched my cheek "that will never happen, Alys. That's why you're my best friend, because we can't break up. You'll be with me forever so be patient."

FRIENDZONED

"Alright, I'm going to fix something backstage. Save a dance for me," he said as he left for backstage.

Huhuhu. It's hard to be a best friend. Why did I agree to be Sheen's best friend?? I should have waited a bit to get him as my boyfriend right away!! Why did he become classmates with Kei last year??

I was ahead!!

"Oy," I looked to my side.

"You're leshe," I replied with a sigh.

Here we go!! If she wasn't for my best friend, I probably would have thought that she likes loves, so it would be too bad if she pushed me to Drake!! It's not enough for her to tie me to Drake's side!!!

"Hehehe, it's okay," she said then hugged me, "have you eaten yet? The main dish was delicious. Shall we eat??"

I shook my head, "not yet."

"So where is your date?"

Oh yes!! Where is my dumb friend??

(>.>)

(<.<)

(0______0)

How are you!! Drake is confused!! oh noes!!!!

I ran to our table, leshe! It's hard to run in heels!! Because it's mommy, I'm not a model but I'm always made into a barbie (-_-)

"Dance with me?" -girl1

"Have you eaten? Let's go together," -girl2

"Dessert, Drake. You like?" -girl 3

And different pick up lines from other women. (-_-t) Oh please, they are embarrassing. Don't they notice that Drake is ignoring them??? D to the U to the H. DUH!! I am the self proclaimed girlfriend, once in a blue moon pay attention!! Could it be that Drake doesn't even know about their existence??

Oh please!

"Excuse me!!" I said, they all looked at me, "he's my date."

Marking my territory, baby!! Daddy said that's how it should be so it doesn't get caught.

Wow!

The girls just made me suffer. Can I poke their eyes???

"Drake!! Aren't you dating me????"

"Shh," he said.

The girls laughed. This is Drake Palma!! Should I be embarrassed?

I have left

walk

walk

foot pain.. heart pain..

EYDEE'S POINT OF VIEW

(aka Third person's point of view *u*)

🎻 "-I don't know what it is that you've done to me...

but it's caused me to act in such a crazy way.

Whatever it is that you do when you do what you're doing...

It's a feeling that I want to stay-" 🎻

Alys was surprised when Drake suddenly pulled her to the middle of the dance floor. And she was even more surprised when Drake put her hand on his shoulder and then put his hand on her waist. ❤️

What are you saying?!!

"Uh, Drake," Alys asked shyly. D to the U to the H, DUH!! This is his first dance!! Didn't Alys already say that she's a little aloof that's why she doesn't have many friends? And he really blamed it on his narrowed eyes.

Wow!

🎻 "-'Cause my heart starts beating triple time,

with thoughts of loving you on my mind.

I can't figure out just what to do when the cause and cure is you.-" 🎻

"Shh," Drake said.

The truth is, Drake invited Alys (or more of Drake pulled Alys to dance) because of the noise of the girls at the table. He had been talking to her for a while. He didn't even know those girls so he was annoyed! He still doesn't like the girls who feel close.. Well the exception is the girl with a speech defect (Alys) and the weird girl (Aya) because his dad and Kat already know those two. But I still don't know! Alys is really the only girl that Drake allows to pester him (even if it's not obvious). Well, that's an honor!! There is no other person close to Drake except Kat, he is such an introvert! So it's an honor that Alys can talk to Drake ^U^

🎻 "-I get so weak in the knees I can hardly speak.

I lose all control and something takes over me.

In a daze, your love's so amazing, it's not a phase.

I want you to stay with me, by my side.

I swallow my pride, your love is so sweet.

It knocks me right off of my feet.

I can't explain why your love makes me weak.-" 🎻

Alys was quiet.. because she was thrilled. D to the U to the H, DUH! You could be the one to dance with your crush, wouldn't you be thrilled??

"Ah, well, people are looking at us," said Alys. Because the women are looking at them. Death glares *_* from Drake's groupies.

"Don't mind them," Drake said.

That's three words, dudes!! Hey!! Longest phrase he said tonight!!

"But---"

🎻 "-It's Time after time after time I've tried to fight it.

But your love is strong it keeps on holding on.

Resistance is down when you're around, starts fading.

In my condition I don't want to be alone.-" 🎻

Alys would have answered but.. she's tame!!

BECAUSE DRAKE HUGGED HER!! AS IN THE MOVIES!! THE LEADING MAN AND LEADING LADY HUG WHILE DANCING!! Sorry if it's all caps, because it's intense!! Alys can already feel Drake's heartbeat!! ❤️

🎻 "-I get so weak in the knees I can hardly speak.

I lose all control and something takes over me.

In a daze, your love's so amazing, it's not a phase.

I want you to stay with me, by my side.

I swallow my pride, your love is so sweet.

It knocks me right off of my feet.

I can't explain why your loving makes me weak.-" 🎻

"Uh, can I ask?" Alys said.

He almost forgot that many eyes were looking at them. It's like the song you make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world~

Alys just felt Drake's shrug. Well, according to How to decipher Drake Palma Bersion 101, that means 'yes'

"Uh, why did you dance with me?"

Drake shrugged again, "those girls are annoying," he said.

"So, I'm not annoying???" Alys asked happily. If Drake goes to her, does that mean she's not annoying??

Yes!!

"You're annoying.. but that's fine."

Alys didn't know but.. she was shocked by what Drake said. We are dead! Drake just said 'You're annoying but that's fine', she's so excited! How about I love you, right?? But he thought.. no, no. There's Aunt Katrina. Where is she, right??

The whole song ended with them hugging each other. Alys was a little lost in the hype when she remembered Aunt Kat.. She just had a crush on Drake. Full Dtop. Aunt Katrina is in the picture. End of story.

ALYS' POINT OF VIEW

Woah! I'm off too! That's Drake!! Have fun!!

I first went to the buffet table to get drinks. I'm sweating!! Weird. I'm in a tube dress but if I'm hot you'd think I'm in scuba diving attire!!

My love saw me so he came to me, "Alys," ^_^ V

"Tss. Don't worry, Sheen. You're already on stage, you're the president, so you take me for granted.." I pretended to sulk.

Lol Hurry up love, seduce me!!

"It's not possible! It's you, you and Drake have almost changed many faces.. I think you've changed me.."

Oh noes!! Sheen is jealous, my love??

*bursts confetti*

I hit him *the flirtatious effect* on the arm, "hope! No way! That man will make me sweat!!"

Suddenly another song played, "shall we dance?"

I smile. Yeh!! Thrill evers. "sure."

🎻 "-I've known you for so long,

You are a friend of mine,

But is this all we'd ever be?

I've loved you ever since,

You are a friend of mine.

And babe is this all we ever could be?-" 🎻

No, why is the song like that??

Hope so??

"Alys, I have something to ask you.." Sheen said seriously. Why am I nervous?? "Do you think I should go after Kei?"

🎻 "-You tell me things I've never known.

I've shown you love you've never shown.

But then again, when you cry.

I'm always at your side-" 🎻

I was silenced by his question.. What should I say? Don't stop because Kei doesn't deserve him? That he always gets hurt? That I'm here? Or is it because he loves her? Because even though he is struggling, at the end of the day, he is still happy because Kei can make him happy?? So sometimes I just want to forget that I'm Sheen's best friend.. It's hard too..

I smiled, "Do you love me?"

He smiled, "Of course. Too much."

I hugged him, I didn't want him to see me cry. It's also a pain. Even though I'm always happy in front of him, nothing. I really like Sheen.. He was the first one who talked to me when I transferred to St. Claire's. I don't know anyone because I was getting homeschooling so I really treasure what we have. Sheen is important to me. Too much. So it doesn't matter what I want, as long as he is happy..

🎻 "-You tell me 'bout the love you've had

I listen very eagerly But deep inside you'll never see

This feeling of emptiness It makes me feel sad.

But then again I'm glad-" 🎻

"Don't stop, best friend. Fight for her," I said. I hope it's not obvious that I'm crying, "I'm sorry. I've been drinking for a while now."

I quickly went to the restroom. They are right, tears are traitors. It's suddenly falling even though I don't want it..

EYDEE'S POINT OF VIEW

Because Alys did leave and went to the buffet table to get a drink, Drake was left alone at the table..

Drake (>_>)

Drake felt that the girls would come to him again so he took the lead. He left the table.

"The time is 5 a.m." Drake said to himself.

How about it, it's only 11 p.m., 1 a.m. their driver will pick him up. Don't let him come home early, said Uncle Steve, if he doesn't, it's goodbye to Japan.

So that's it, Drake just walked first, there, where there weren't many people. Because he doesn't want attention, Katrina's attention, it's possible.

Chos. Hahahaha!

He was walking in the hallway when he heard something,

"Who the heck is that Alys Perez?!!" -girl 1

"Like I don't know, girl! She's so ahas!! She danced with Drake then now with Sheen!! She's so effin' nakakainis!!" -girl 2

"OMG!! With Drake?!!" -girl 3

"Like yes, girl! They even hugged in public. The nerve!!" -girl 1

Drake just sighed. Chismosa- secondly he doesn't like women. Get your facts straight before jumping to conclusions- he believes. Hahaha That's why he didn't get too close to women, because it was an issue right away.

"That girl!! I have something I mind, girl!!" -girl 3

"What??" -girl 2

"Let's make her stay in the stock room. She deserves it because she's so badass!!" - girl 3

"Sounds fun, girl! I'm in that!!" -girl 1

Drake left. He didn't know if he would pay attention to what the girls said. Girls complicate everything after all.. 58
