BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

KEN’S POV

” If that is what you want, let us end this, fake boyfriend,” Alexa stated.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

It was really painful to see the woman you love to try her best to hold her tears to show you that she was strong. I could not take it anymore, so I turned my back to her. I started walking away from her while trying my best to not look back at her because I knew that if I did, my plan would be totally ruined. After I left the rooftop, I went straight to our classroom.

” She was on the rooftop. It would be best if you came there because she needs you,” I seriously said to Rhea when I approached her.

” What did you do?” Rhea asked in wonder after she stood up.

” I ended our relationship,” I answered, making her frown.

” What did you say?” Rhea asked for pardon, but her voice raised, which made my classmates look at us.

” I said Alexa and I broke up,” I firmly repeated myself. But this time, I made it louder and clearer because I saw James entering the classroom.

Rhea did not respond anymore and hurriedly walked towards the classroom’s exit. On the other hand, James seemed surprised because of what I said. My classmates also started whispering to each other. I did not bother listening to their commentaries and sat down in my seat. I needed to break up with Alexa to make it fair and square competition between James and me. That was also what Alexa’s mother requested of me when I asked her permission if I could court Alexa.

After a while, our teacher already arrived, and the morning class started. Rhea and Alexa did not attend the whole morning class. Rhea sent me a text stating that she was with Alexa in her mini-office. If you are wondering why Rhea did not show any anger toward me because of what I did to her best friend, well, she knew my plan.

Because of my deep thoughts on how I will admit all my feelings to Alexa, I did not notice that it was already lunch break. Thankfully, Caleb tapped my shoulders, so I came back to reality. I was staring blankly and concentrating on how I should admit my feelings to the woman I love. I mean, I knew I confessed my feelings to Alexa multiple times in the past, but I felt like she took it as some joke. So, I wanted to think of a big gesture to show her and the world what I truly feel towards her.

” Let’s go, bro. Stop staring blankly there because I am starving now,” I heard Caleb comment.

” Sometimes, you love to ruin things, bro,” I remarked after seeing him frowning.

” Let’s go,” He said and took his bag.

I also stood up and took my bag. I need to eat fast since I need to meet brother Xander to ask his permission to let me court Alexa. Caleb and I were about to get out of the classroom when James suddenly appeared.

” What is your problem?” I asked in a cool manner.

” I wanted to thank you because you broke up with Alexa. She did not deserve that kind of relationship,” He said in an unfriendly way which made me smirk.

” And what did she deserve? Is that the way you treat her before? Do not make me laugh, James,” I grinned.

” You could say whatever you want to say. Now that you two ended your relationship, I could court her,” James smirked at me. Tsk, is he copying my reaction?

” I just let her go for a while in order to hold her tighter the next time. You do not have any chance to her,” I meaningfully told him.

” Huh, may the best man win if that will be the case,” He confidently replied and turned his back to me.

” That guy is to proud about himself. What do you think, bro? Should I teach him a lesson?” Caleb commented after James left.

” Let him be. You will just waste your time to him. Let’s eat because I need to go somewhere else,” I stated and started walking.

Caleb immediately followed me, and together we walked towards the cafeteria.

ALEXA’S POV

” Maybe Ken has a good reason why he broke up with you,” Rhea comforted me.

” I hope that reason is more important than how I feel right now,” I replied before diving into my pillow.

Rhea and I were here at my mini office. After my conversation with Ken, Rhea suddenly appeared on the rooftop after a few minutes. She helped me to stand and went with me here in the mini-office. As a result, we both miss our morning class.

” Always remember that everything works for our own good, Beshy,” Rhea tried her best to encourage me.

” I hope so, Beshy,” I responded shortly because until now, the thought about me and Ken’s fake relationship ending did not yet sink into my mind.

” Do you want me to call your driver to fetch you and send you home to rest?” Rhea asks in a concerned manner.

” No, thanks. You should eat lunch now, so you can attend our afternoon classes. I will be the one who will call my driver,” I replied.

” Huh? I will not leave you here until I am sure that you are really all right,” Rhea protested.

” I will be fine, Rhea. ” I assuredly told her even if the truth was I wanted to be alone.

” Are you sure?” Rhea worriedly asked.

” Yes, do not worry about me too much,” I replied and faked a smile.

” Fine, even if I knew you simply wanted to be alone,” Rhea remarked, which surprised me.

” You really seemed surprised that I know. We are friends since I do not remember when so I know you entirely, but of course, I respect your personal space that you wanted,” Rhea stated while smiling.

” Sorry,” is the only word I could say to her. I lowered my head.

” Do not be. Just call me when you need me. I will be there right away,” Rhea cheerfully told me, tapping my shoulders.

After a few moments, I heard the sound of the door closing. It seemed like Rhea had left the office already. It became a sign that my tears started falling from my eyes.
