Alys's point of view
"Weh? Serious? No joke?"
We're at the café right now—me and Aya, my best friend.
Hehe. I haven't introduced her yet, sorry.
"It's true! And do I look like I'd joke about something like that? Oh my God!"
Then I slumped my head back onto the table.
Because seriously, how am I supposed to do what Sheen asked me to do?
Honestly, hanging myself sounds easier!
"Tss. It's your fault too. When it's Sheen asking, you just say go go go right away. You don't even think.
Then again, when have you ever used your brain?"
I smacked her.
"Are you really my friend?! Walanjo!"
"Hehehe. Just kidding! Geez.
Anyway, on another note, how do you plan to carry out your Mission Impossible: Seducing Drake Palma?
You know he's kind of autistic, right?"
Right! Autistic. Always sleeping in class.
But when there's a quiz—always gets a perfect score.
So unfair!
I stay awake and fail.
He sleeps and aces it.
What's up with that?! Is he dreaming about the lectures?!
What the eff!
"I honestly don't know. I have no idea.
Besh, help me out."
Then I did the twinkling eyes move.
I badly need help! =___=
"Shut up! I don't even have a boyfriend—how am I supposed to help you?!"
"Haay! Life, why so hard on me? I just want to be Sheen's girlfriend… Ouch!!"
Aya suddenly smacked me on the head!
"You're being too emo. Eww."
"You seriously don't have any suggestions? Tips? Advice?"
"You know what?"
Then I shook my head.
"There! There's your target—let's follow him, hurry!"
So yeah, we threw away the food we were eating and followed Drake.
Walanjo, I felt like I was James Bond!
We ended up at the back of the St. Claire's High school building (St. Claire's Academy is for college), then Drake stopped and laid down under a tree.
Looks like he's about to sleep. Definitely autistic.
"Let's go! He's just going to sleep!"
Then I turned around and started walking away.
Sigh… What a waste of fries and sundae!
I threw those away just to watch this autistic guy sleep…
"Wait!! There's a girl coming!"
I stopped walking and came back.
Oh yeah, there was a girl approaching.
I didn't know her personally, but I knew she was in our batch.
In fairness though, she was pretty.
But of course, I'm prettier. Wahaha!
They were talking—we couldn't hear.
But since Aya and I both have gossiping in our blood, we moved closer.
And voilà~
We could finally hear their conversation!!
"Drake, I want you to be my boyfriend!"
said the pretty girl.
Shet!
I salute your fighting spirit!
Go, girl!
"K."
Drake replied.
What the—
That's it?!
The girl smiled, but Drake turned around and walked back to his tree.
"We're breaking up." he said.
Another what the—
That's it again?!
The pretty girl was stunned.
"B-breaking up? But we just became a couple a while ago, and now we're already breaking up?" she asked.
We were wondering the same thing. =___=
"That's all you girls want anyway, right? Just to show off that I was your boyfriend?
Well, there—you got what you wanted.
I was your boyfriend.
Now I'm leaving."
Then he lay down again.
The pretty girl ran away crying.
You're such a jerk, Drake Palma! Karma's coming for you!!
We made it back to the classroom with Aya. Good thing the teacher was late, so we didn't get in trouble.
"Well there you have it, Besh. It's actually super easy to make Drake your boyfriend. So easy to talk to! Extremely easy!" Aya said sarcastically.
She's right though—he's like the boyfriend of the public.
Public property or whatever.
Because honestly…
"Well—"
"Well, you just need to talk to him like that pretty girl did,
then just tell your Sheen-your-loves that you broke up right away.
See? Problem solved."
Actually, that's a pretty good suggestion.
"But it's embarrassing. He's our classmate!
That pretty girl was from a different section, so it was okay…"
"That's fine! Who knows?
Maybe he doesn't even know you're classmates.
Or maybe he doesn't even know you exist!
You know him—always sleeping.
So don't worry, Besh."
Okay… she has a point.
"Fine. I'll talk to him later.
Then I'll tell Sheen we already broke up."
"Good luck on your Mission Impossible, Besh!"
And so, we had our class.
I planned to tell him after dismissal that I wanted him to be my boyfriend.
Sigh!
I'm just going to forget that I'm also a human being capable of feeling embarrassment—all for Sheen.
Damn love, turning me into a fool.
Here it is—dismissal time!
People were leaving the room, but Drake was still slumped over his armchair.
Definitely autistic.
After 15 minutes—finally!
The sleeping prince woke up.
He grabbed his bag, stretched, and then walked out of the room.
I quietly followed him.
I planned to say it outside the campus, okay?
I have no intention of becoming a gossip topic.
Once I was sure we were far enough from campus, I tapped him on the shoulder.
Yes, Alys! You can do this! Aja!
He turned and looked at me.
"Drake Palma, you're my boyfriend now."
Then he rolled his eyes at me and turned away.
Definitely autistic. =___=
I started counting loudly,
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"We're breaking up. Okay, bye."
Then I ran away.
Yess! Mission accomplished! Wahaha!
Sheen never said I had to be Drake's girlfriend for a long time, right?
You're so smart, Alys!
At least when it comes to something—not academics!
The next day, I was excited to go to school to tell Sheen the good news.
Mwehehe. You're so smart, Alys. I'll treat you to ice cream later.
"La, la, la~"
I was humming on my way to the rooftop—because that's Sheen's usual hangout, right?
It was still early, so I figured I'd head up there first.
But when I opened the door, I saw Kei and Sheen talking…
"Why did you ask me to come here?" Kei asked.
"I love you, and I want you back..."
Ouch! That hurts T^T
"Don't you get it, Sheen? We're over!"
"Why are you acting like this? Is it because of that Drake Palma?!"
Whoa! Sheen's yelling now. Scary!
"Yeah, so? What are you gonna do about it?"
"Come on, Kei! You know he's a playboy! Why are you so obsessed with him?! He always has a girlfriend!"
"I know. But he always breaks up with them too."
"Exactly! He always breaks up with them! So why are you still chasing after him?!"
"Because I'll prove that I'll be the first girl he'll take seriously."
Then she turned her back on Sheen and walked away.
And me? I hid immediately.
Hayst! I thought things were okay already.
I already broke up with him—now I have to get back together again?
Ugh, what a ridiculous life!
