Mrs. Lopez and Alex went to her room to check for some clothes she could wear for tonight's event. Alex couldn't understand how her parents believed Carlos easily. She has been with her parents all her life and she realized that they don't know her that well. How can she change her identity that easily just because of a guy whom she just met? She's not even sure if Carlos has a girlfriend at the moment. All she knows is he is a playboy. "How come your cabinet doesn't have any dress or blouses? I remember your granny always brings some for you whenever she visits." Alex's reverie was stopped by what her mom said. "Where did you put all those clothes?""I sent them away, Mom. You know I'm allergic to girly stuff. You are now like granny. I’m doubting now whether you really know me. Do you really believe that guy downstairs?" She asked."He seems nice to me, and he is very romantic. I really like him." Mrs. Lopez said with a sm

Alex woke up the next day alone in her room. She was trying to remember what happened last night. She was sure Carlos slept beside her. She remembered cuddling each other to sleep but where is he now? She checked the clock on her bed side table. It says 9:43 a.m. It's a Sunday. Normally, she spends Sundays resting but today, she feels like she has all the energy to do any activity.She got in her bathroom after getting out from bed to take a shower. She wants to look fresh when she comes out from her room. Just the thought of spending this day with Carlos makes her feel excited. Now that she is sure about her feelings for the man, she would start acting like a real woman. Maybe it would take some time for her to get used to it.After taking a shower, she opened her wardrobe to look for clothes she can wear for today. All her clothes are men's clothing. Most of them are loose t-shirts, long shorts and jeans. She decided to choose s

Alex and Carlos are finally a couple. Alex still can't believe that she would be involved in a relationship with the opposite sex. It is something new to her and something she never expected. She doesn't know how to act in as a girlfriend. When she had her partners, she was not thoughtful, and she was not the type who would show her feelings to them. She was caring to them, yes, but she never sent them messages first. She just meets them whenever she feels like it or when they asked her to meet. She could remember how demanding and clingy they were, and she doesn't know whether she should also act the same way to Carlos as them. The next day, Alex woke up happy. Being in love and being in a relationship with Carlos makes her look forward for the end of the week since they will be together for the first time as a couple. Thursday is still four days away, but she can't already contain her excitement.After taking a shower, she put on her u

The next day, Alex woke up with a smile on her face. Thinking about meeting Carlos again after her class gives her so much energy. She got her phone to greet her boyfriend “Good morning.” After that, she prepared to go to school. She almost forgot about what happened yesterday. She was sure most students in MPIS will still talk about her today. Having that thought makes her feel nervous. How can she explain that she now has a boyfriend and that she is about to marry him after her high school graduation?As usual, Alex was brought to school by their family driver. She was hesitant to go to school, but she doesn’t have a choice. Skipping classes today wouldn’t mean that students will stop talking about her so she might as well face her problem now.As expected, students stare at Alex

The next three months passed by so fast. Alex became very busy with her preparations for the university entrance exam. Being in a relationship and focusing on her studies are two things that make her so stressed. She wants to spend more time with Carlos, her boyfriend, but she has to prioritize her studies first. There are times that she wants to take a break and just spend a day or two with him, but she was always being pushed away by Carlos. It hurts her feelings at times, but she knows that he is doing it for her. He wants her not to have any regrets later. As he always says, "You always have me and we can do all the things we are supposed to do later, but this exam determines your future. I know I can provide for you later, but it's still different to accomplish something for yourself." It makes her feel that she has now two fathers who are telling her what she has to do. Carlos, on the other hand, is not as busy as her. She doesn't even know what he is up to these days. There were
