Patrice’s P.O.V.I entered early to H.I.S. so I can meet Andrew again. Because the time he enters is different, sometimes very immediately, often just right at the class time so that he doesn’t get late.Now, I am here at the gate to wait for Andrew’s arrival so that I can walk with him onto the campus.“Look that ugly, she’s waiting for her boyfriend in front of the gate.”“How pathetic.”“She’s the one who is waiting, how desperate.”I rolled my eyeballs.And just ignored the students like three women who looked at me from head to toe and if they murmured, there was just a lack of speakers to let the whole campus hear what they were talking about.As if I’m waiting for a boyfriend. How I wish that I’m waiting for a boyfriend, but it’s not. Andrew is not my boyfriend.“Hey, Patrice!” Three of my male
Alex Shin’s P.O.V.After I stared at Patrice’s face, I honestly didn’t know if it was a face or a pimple formed by a little face, because his face is full of pimples and acne.I still can’t help but laugh after staring at this four-eyed strawberry’s face, especially now that her forehead is furrowed as she looks at me, wondering why I’m laughing so hard. She even looked at the reflection of her face on his cellphone.Don’t tell me. Before she entered, she didn’t look in the mirror? No wonder so this is her face and her messy hair.“Shin, what’s so funny?” The four-eyed strawberry asked.She has no idea how ugly she is? So funny.It’s funnier to think that someone like me, who gets all the women I like, all the beautiful women likes me, then I crawled in because I thought my fake ugly girlfriend was waiting for me?Damn.This is not
Patrice’s P.O.V.Shin and I took off going to Starbucks to study so that the air would be silent and refreshing.“What drinks or snacks do you like?” Shin asked as the two of us lay down.The place here in Starbucks we chose was on one side here, as if we weren’t that distracted as two. When the two of us entered, the other customers, especially the women, looked at us and later looked at me from head to toe, as if they wanted to ask if I was the girlfriend of a handsome creature named Shin.“Hmm…” I thought. I want a Starbucks frappe but what I want to eat is a dunkin’ donuts bundle and a bucket of choco munchkin.“Four-eyed strawberry, what do you want to drink and eat?”“It’s just a frappe. Mocha flavour.”“That’s all you want?”I pouted my lips. Suddenly I was craving dunkin’ donuts.
PATRICE’s P.O.V.I’m arranging my things and looking at the time on my cell phone sitting at the table. The time is close to nine p.m., meaning the MOA is also about to close. Maybe other stalls are already closed as well.When I finished arranging my stuff, Shin pulled me out of the Starbucks.“Where are we going, Shin?”“At the cinema.”“Ha!?”I shout out at his answer. What time is it? I’m sure the theatres are closed by this time.When we arrived at the cinema I was not mistaken, they were already closed.“Shin!”He pulled me again.Doesn’t he notice the other stalls we pass are closed?“Why is everything closed?” Shin asked himself while we were in one of the closed stalls.Why, most likely. The mall is about to close, so all the stalls ar
PATRICE 's P.O.V.When we finished eating, Shin and I went for a walk here by the seaside. We wanted to sit on the big rock that is too long where, in front, is the sea of manila bay, just so there are too many people. Shin said he isn’t used to a lot of people.So here we are now. Shin and I lined up to try out the MOA eye or the Ferris wheel. It’s very big and very tall.When it was our turn, Shin paid. One-fifty pesos per head is the price. After he paid, we rode inside the Ferris wheel, of course.And as it slowly worked, I smiled because little by little I could see the entirety of the light of the seaside and the city. The good thing is, when you see the whole, it’s better to see.“Eh?” I was surprised when the Ferris wheel stopped, but it was a good thing that we were almost at the top.I looked at Shin, who was just silent while also looking down at the chin.“A
- (THE NEXT DAY) -….….….….Patrice’s P.O.V.I rolled my eyes when Shin finished running and he shouted again that horrible endearment to me.“Go, My SB!”I am now running alone in the open field. Shin and I were the only ones caught entering, insert sarcasm.After I finished running, the Teacher who watched over us left us.“Here is your bag,” Shin said, then handed me my bag and together we walked to the classroom.I’m irritated with Shin’s face now, if it
Patrice's P.O.V. I ran to the classroom and, when I got here, I immediately shouted Alex Shin's full name. My classmates told me to go to the cafeteria. I thanked them before running to the cafeteria and going to Shin.Going to the cafeteria, I saw Shin with his other friends. I approached them and told his friends that I would only borrow Shin. They agreed but before I could even hear Shin's answer I pulled him out of the cafeteria to a long staircase leading to an open field............."Hahaha! That's funny, isn't it? Ha-haha..." I slowly lost my laughter when I noticed I was the only one laughing and while Shin, he was just a poker face."Do you want me to be in a bad mood, ha, four-eyed strawberry?""I still have a lot of joke searches," I looked again at the notebook in which I had written jokes. "Has anyone ever told
#7. Mimic what your crush is doing.................Andrew was just silent as I secretly watched him while he was reading a book.“Hey, Patrice. Let’s go to the cafeteria,”I looked at Brena and Belle when they came to my seat.Rather than answering them, I just smiled at them and looked at the notebook and book on my desk.I noticed that Belle and Brena looked at each other and then looked at me at the same time.“Uhm… so, are you busy… reading?” Belle asked hesitantly.I took a deep breath before nodding. I also want to go to the cafeteria because I’m so hungry too, but I have to imitate Andrew. Andrew did nothing but look at his notebooks and books and review.“Are you sure? Isn’t this afternoon your favourite strawberry cake will be sold ou
