"Isn't it true? Are you serious? Sheen and Kei broke up?" The whole area lit up. Wait, why did she know first? I'm Sheen's best friend!
"Yes, I'm serious! I'm still in shock. Who would have thought they'd break up? They were almost perfect." True. Almost perfect, ideal couple, everything you could call them. Sheen's the football team captain, running for class salutatorian, handsome. Kei's a cheerleader and the title holder of Ms. St. Claire's High. Aren't they compatible?
"Why did they break up?" "I don't know. You're so nosy. Be thankful they're broken up. You have so many questions." If she weren't my friend, I'd have slapped her by now.
"Sorry, I'm just curious." "You're so dramatic, Alys. I heard it's because of the new transfer student, Drake Palma! Kei's so shameless, she dumped Sheen for a hotter guy." Drake Palma? Please. Sheen's way more handsome. That guy's always sleeping in class.
"Whatever, let her be. I'm going to check on Sheen, maybe he's emotional." "You're so cruel. He's broken-hearted." "Broken-hearted, my foot. I'll be the one to heal his heart."
"Stop it, you're disgusting." "Whatever, I'm out of here." I left and looked for Sheen. I knew he'd be on the rooftop, the usual hangout spot for sentimental people.
"Sheen..." I said, sitting beside him. He suddenly leaned on my shoulder. Don't be like that, it's making me flutter. I wanted to say it, but Sheen's being emotional, so I'll just let it be.
"We broke up..." "I know." "How did you know? We just broke up." "I'm good at knowing things." "You're so corny." "Don't be emotional, it doesn't suit you." "I want to be emotional, why not?"
I took out a cutter. I always carry one in my bag. Don't be surprised. "What are you going to do with that?" He asked because I handed it to him. "Slash yourself. Aren't you emotional?" "You're so cruel." "I'm just helping you."
"Alys, seriously. I want her back." That hurts... "Help me.." Why do best friends always have to help? Always sacrifice? Always love in secret?
"Make Drake Palma your boyfriend.." "What did you say?!" "Make Drake Palma your boyfriend." "Am I deaf or something? Is the world ending?"
"You're so dramatic. It's just a boyfriend, easy as that." Wow, easy as one, two, three. "Do you think it's that easy? Like buying candy at a store?" I'm yelling now. What does she think I am? A pimp?
"You've had three boyfriends already, it's easy for you.. Come on, Alys. Please?" Look at that, my best friend's trying to be cute.
"Fine, whatever.. That's just how it is.." "Really? You're not kidding?" Processing.. Processing.. Did I really agree? Oh sheet.
"Thanks, Alys." and he suddenly hugged me, "You're the best." Paksheet. I'm fluttering. Hanubah! =___= "Thanks, thanks. You'll pay for this." I'm not really going to make him pay, I just don't know what to say, don't want him to notice I'm fluttering.
"Alright, alright. I'll treat you to lunch for the whole week." "That's not enough. All, including snacks." "Hey, you're taking advantage. I'll tell your mom." "You think you can? You know I love you." And then he tickled me. That's when our chasing game started.
"Hey, admit it.." Panting, panting. I'm out of breath, "Are you really broken? You're chasing me so enthusiastically." "I'm broken, it's just not showing."
"And you promised to help me get Kei back, so why should I bother?" "What if I don't succeed?" "I know you'll do it." "Why are you so sure?" "Because you're Alys Perez. When you want something, you get it by hook or by crook."
Why you? I want you, but why can't I have
