BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I am currently lying on my bed, staring blankly at my room’s ceiling. Today is Saturday, so I think it is all right if I do nothing and stare blankly at the ceiling to allow myself to process what happened the past week in my life. I admit that the ending of my fake relationship with Ken created a wide gap between the two of us. Even the friendship we have with Caleb and Rhea got affected after what happened. Hays.

” I do not know what will be faster, your eyes or your ceiling will melt down because of your intense look in it.”

I stopped staring at my ceiling and stood up after hearing those words. I immediately glared at her because she frightened me, but she simply smiled at me. Tsk!

” What? Are you planning to stay here in your room the whole weekend?” Rhea asked while grinning.”

” Maybe possible,” I sarcastically replied.

” Boring,” She jokingly commented and approached me in my bed.

” What brought you here?” I asked in grumpiness.

” Ouch! You are telling me that like I am not your bestfriend. For your information, I am here to visit and see if you are all right. It hurts that you are treating me this way,” Rhea replied while pouting.

” I am all right, Rhea. Thank you for your concern,” I stated with a smile.

” You know, I realized that the old saying is true. Our lips could lie, but our eyes could not.” Rhea commented, which made me look away from her.

” I will be fine,” I lowly told her.

” Are you trying to convince yourself or me?” She asked, which made me look at her and let out a heavy sigh.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

” Both, so do not ask anymore,” I irritably replied.

” Hays, Alexa. Why don’t you admit to him what you really feel?” She asked.

” For what? Ken already ended our fake relationship after saying that he loves me. Tsk, rather than hearing him to say that he wanted to court me, he really had the nerve to broke up with me,” I childishly protested, but Rhea laughed at me.

” It is somehow your fault for being in denial. Do not think too much about Ken, just accompany me instead,” Rhea cheerfully stated.

” Where are we going?” I asked while frowning.

” Let’s go camping,” Rhea childishly said and held my hand tight.

” Hmm, I think that will be fine since the resume of our class next week is Wednesday.” I agreed.

” Yay, I am going to send a message to Caleb,” She happily said and stood up. However, I hurriedly pulled her arm, which made her look at me with confusion.

” Wait, do you mean Caleb will join us?” I asked her to make sure that I heard what she said earlier was right.

” Of course, we will have a group outing,” Rhea replied.

” Do you mean Ken will be coming with us?” I asked.

” Of course, we are squad, right?” She replied, which made my jaw drop.

” I w-will not join,” I rejected her invitation.

” What? No, I am afraid I have to disagree with that. You said yes earlier.” Rhea stated and sat down on my bed.

” Come on, Rhea. Ken and Caleb will be there. I am sure you will enjoy yourselves together,” I tried to convince her, so she would let me not join.

” No,” She firmly remarked.

” Beside, are you letting me a girl with two boys accompanying me?” She added while pouting and making cute faces.

” They are gentleman, so I am sure they will do nothing to harm you,” I replied to remove her second thoughts. She frowned.

” Please, agree with me. Join us, so our group of four will be complete. You avoided Ken in the school too much that even our friendship started to fall apart,” Rhea commented. I think she wanted to make me feel guilty about what happened.

” That was my point. Everything is still awkward since what happened was too fresh for us. It is not a good idea to force us together,” I explained my side. However, it seemed like she would not stop until I agreed.

” You and Ken already broke up. Do you want that even our friendship also bid goodbye?” She sadly said, which made me guilty even more. She has a point because the only thing that ended was my relationship with Ken, not our friendship.

” Fine,” I could not do anything but agree with her.

” Just what other people say. If you cannot save the relationship, at least save the friendship. Besides, I think it is a good idea to breathe some fresh air in the campsite rather than stay here in my room for a long weekend.” After hearing what I said, Rhea’s face immediately changed to a lively one.

” You are sure already, you could not disagree anymore,” She happily said and shook my shoulders.

” Beshy, stop! Yes, I will not disagree anymore,” I replied.

” Let us do a pinky promise, so I will be sure that you will ghost us in the last minute before the camping,” She said and raised her pinky finger.

” You are so childish,:” I commented because of what she did.

” Ssh, just do it, so it will be done,” Rhea replied. I shook my head and made a pinky promise. Hays, how childish is this girl really?

” Just relax there, Beshy. I would make a call to Caleb first to confirm if he made an effort to make Ken agree,” She added and winked at me.

” I do not know about you. Go there,” I jokingly instructed her, but she just made a face at me.

I let out a heavy sigh after Rhea left. Some part of my heart wishes that Caleb did not succeed in convincing Ken to join us. However, there is another part of me hoping for Ken to agree, so I can see him again. Hays, what should I expect in this camping? Is there will be an awkwardness between the two of us. But I think he seemed okay. If I think of it, he will be since we are just in a fake relationship. Aish! I shook my head because of the thoughts running through my mind. Hays, let fate do his thing at the campsite.

UNKNOWN’S POV

” Oh, it is a miracle! Why did you call?” I surprisingly said after answering the call.

” They broke up,” He casually stated and ended the call.

Rather than being angry about hanging up on me that fast, I laughed after hearing what he said. Who would have thought that things would turn out this way? I guess fate is helping me with my revenge.

” Be ready, dear, I am coming back in the day you least expected! ”
