BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I am currently in our school’s stadium because our rehearsal for the intermission number of the candidates on the coronation night will start in a bit. It has been a while since I began to frown because Ken is not yet here. After we had eaten earlier, he immediately left, saying he would just get something from his car. He also said I should go to the stadium first, and he would just follow me, but he was still not here. That guy is really getting on my nerve. Prepare himself because I am gonna punch him for making me wait. My thoughts about murdering Ken stopped when someone approached me, that made me sick. Tsk, I almost forgot about them.

” Well, well, look who is here? The nerd turns to campus queen wanna be. ” Tiffany said, trying to mock me.

” Well, well look who is here? The campus queen wanna-be who is insecure to a nerd.” I said while imitating her voice. She rolled her eyes because of what I did. If she thought that I would back down from her bullying, not anymore.

” You! ” she said while pointing her fingers at my face. I slapped her finger, which made her glare at me.

” Are you done making yourself a clown? ” I asked while grinning to annoy her.

I noticed that the audience started to gather around us. But, unlike before, I would not back down anymore from this girl. I have experienced enough.

” Me? A clown? In this beauty? Maybe you are pertaining to yourself, NERD! ” she said while emphasizing the word nerd, and eventually, she flipped her hair. I rolled my eyes.

” Beauty? Where? With excessive amount of makeup you are wearing; I could not see it. ” I said to tease her.

” Gosh, this is what I meant when I say wear your glasses properly nerd so that you will see. ” she commented.

” I do not want to because if I wear it, I will be able to see your scary face. ” I replied,

” Gosh, you are not expert on appreciating beauty. Well, it is acceptable because your level of beauty is exotic. ” she said while grinning.

” Do not compare me to you because you are out of my league, and I will never stand down to your level. ” I bravely told her.

Many of the audience gasped for air because of what I said. I would not let this girl bully someone again. I am just putting her in the right place.

” You! You are just brave because of Ken. If he is not here, you will still be a nobody. ” she angrily told me. Tsk, she really had the nerve to make Ken involved here.

I smiled sweetly at her to annoy her more and said, ” Well, I must say that I am lucky because I am his girlfriend. ”

” Savor it until you can feel it. Because I am sure he will be the next campus king, and I will still be the campus queen. Then after that, he would wake up and realize the truth that we are the perfect match. ” she said, which made me irritable.

” You know what, I pity you. You are so pathetic. I may not have a crown on my head nor look like a princess to your eyes, but Ken chose me over you. ” I irritably said to her, which I hope made her wake up in her daydream.

” Oh, really? Who knows, maybe you used love potion to have him, ” she mockingly remarked.

” I am not like you. I will not copy any cheap tricks from you. ” I said to her.

” You! I will make sure that you will lose this competition. ” she angrily said.

” She may lose this competition, but she will never lose me. ” the guy said while walking in our direction with a smile.

Some of those who heard what he said giggle in romantic excitement they are feeling. But I frowned because of what he said. Did he expect that I would lose? He came closer to me and grabbed my waist towards him. I felt like all the blood in my body flowed on my face because of how red my cheeks were right now.

” But you know, I know she will win this competition because a king like me only needs the woman of my life to be my queen. ” Ken said, then he looked at me with a smile.

I pinched him on his side. He threw lots of punch lines already, enough for sweets. Tiffany angrily walked out; she was really pissed off. The students also slowly walked away from the scene. When they all left, I looked at this guy and frowned, which made him confused.

” What? What did I do this time? ” he innocently asked me.

” What took you so long? Where did you go? ” I asked while raising my right eyebrow. Ken smiled at me, which made lines on my forehead because of confusion.

” Did you miss me? ” he asked, with a mischievous smirk on his lips.

” No, ” I answered shortly. Ken acted like he was in pain, which made me laugh.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

” See this girl, I am hurt; then she laughed at me. ” she said while pretending that he was wiping the tears from his eyes.

” Che! What took you so long? ” I asked once again. Of course, I am curious about where this guy went that he took so long to be back.

” Here. ” Ken said while giving me a paper bag.

” What is inside? ” I asked in curiosity after I accepted the paper bag.

” See to yourself, ” he said while being grumpy.

I raised my right eyebrow because of what he said before I opened the paper bag that he gave me. Inside the paper bag is a box. I opened it, and I was amazed at what was inside. It is a flat sandal with a glittering design, making me fall in love with it. So beautiful! I stopped being mesmerised when Ken spoke.

” Do you like it? ” he asked.

” No, I do not like it. I actually love it. ” I said like a kid that had a candy. I heard him chuckle.

” I am happy that you love it. I had a hard time finding your size. Thankfully, Rhea told me. ” Ken explained.

” It is really beautiful. ” I said. I am really out of words right now.

” Try to wear it, so we can see if it fits you. ” He instructed.

I immediately remove the heels I am wearing and wear the sandals Ken gave me. It really fits perfectly to my feet.

” You look more beautiful with that sandals. ” he commented.

I smiled, ” thank you! But it is not yet my birthday. ” I confusedly remarked. I was wondering why he gave me this out of nowhere.

” I know. I just want you to be more comfortable while having dance practice. Additionally, it is better so that you would not hurt your feet because of wearing heels. ” He explained.

” Super thank you, Ken. I appreciate it. ” I said with sincerity. I am out of words. I am just so happy that he gave me this one. It is really my first time receiving that type of gift

” Anything for you. ” he said, then winked at me.

” Students, kindly fall in line now so we can start practicing how you walk. ” our instructor ordered.

Our attention shifted to the announcement made by our instructor, who was currently on the stage. I immediately remove the sandals I am wearing and wear my heels again. It is a must that we wear heels every time we practice walking on the stage. After I wore my heels, I returned the sandals to their box and secured them with my other belongings. Ken and I went to our line to start the modelling. After almost one hour, we finished practicing the modelling. Ouch, my feet hurt.

” Okay ladies and gentlemen, we will have 10 minutes break. Then we will practice your intermission number for the coronation night. Okay? ” our instructor energetically said.

” Alright. ” we answered in unison.

Everyone immediately went to the benches to sit and rest. I also went where my things were and sat down. After sitting down, I removed my heels and immediately noticed the blisters on my feet. I closed my eyes because of the pain I was feeling right now. I am not really used to wearing heels.

” Water. ” Ken said while giving me the bottled water he was holding.

” Thanks, ” I said, accepted the bottled water, and immediately drank.

Ken sat down beside me and drank his water too. I reached for my foot and massaged it. Every time I reached a point on my foot, I really felt the pain, so I just closed my eyes to hide the pain I was feeling. I immediately opened my eyes when I felt someone was teaching my foot.

” What are you doing? ” I asked Ken on my, shocked.

” Sssh, let me do it. ” He said while carefully massaging my feet.

” Ouch! ” I exclaimed in pain when his hand touched the blister I had on my foot.

” Why? Did you have sprain? Wounds? ” Ken asked while checking my foot.

After a while, Ken saw the blister on my foot. He reached for his bag and got a band-aid from his emergency pouch. Did he join boy scout when he was young? After getting the band-aid, he gently put it on my blister. I smiled because of what he did. He is really a gentleman.

” You should wear the sandals for the remaining time of our rehearsal, and then tomorrow bring heels that have an allowance, so that you will not have new blister. ” he instructed me.

” Thank you. ” I said.

” If your thank you will make me rich, I am sure that I will be rich, now. ” Ken said while trying to contain his laughter.

” Hmp! Atleast I know how to give thanks, ” I said.

” Hmm, when could I hear you say I love you. ” Ken asked in seriousness which made my cheeks turn red. This guy is really making me crazy.

I was ready to answer him when our facilitator called us to start the rehearsal again. I immediately wore the sandals Ken gave me while he fixed himself. After a while, our rehearsal begins again. Sometimes, Tiffany bumped me on purpose, which made me trip. Thankfully Ken is faster in catching me. This girl really loves to make a scene.

I glared at Tiffany because of what she was doing, but she just smirked at me. We started to dance again, and when we were on the step where I needed to turn over, Tiffany bumped me, making me trip. I closed my eyes and prepared myself to hit the floor, but a few minutes had passed, yet I did not feel anything. I opened my eyes which somehow made me regret it right away.

I am currently on top of Ken while our lips are sealed together. Oh my, did we just kiss again?!
