Seducing Drake Palma Chapter 8

 Chapter 8

I still look like that when I get back to the room. Why can't I get Drake's face out of my mind? It's like.. Argh!! Disturbing thoughts!!! I'm still too young to be a maniac!!!

"Heyyou, you look like a red beet," Aya told me, "what's wrong with your face?"

Should I tell Aya about the pornographic image I saw??? Of course not!!! Because if I tell her, for sure, tomorrow, it will spread throughout St. Claire's High!! And when that happens, I'll be dead!! There are so many members of Drake's fan club! =____=

"Ah, allergy. I ate an apple," I just said as an excuse.

"Aah. Why did you eat it?? You know you're allergic. Shh," she said while pulling me, "let's go to the room. There are groupings in English."

Well, Aya pulled me into the room. It's a good thing we excused ourselves earlier, there's a quiz in Physics. I survived!! Yahooo!! Drake and I being locked in the SC room also had some good things in common.

"..so that's basically it. Anyways, class, you may group yourselves into three. You may choose your own groupmates. You're all grown up so I presume that I don't need to group you one by one. Be wise in choosing your groupmates because they will be your groupmates until the end of

the first grading,"

Said Ms. Clarise. Haaay. Who can be my groupmate?

I looked around, almost everyone had a group. Why am I a loner? =_ __= Is it my fault that my eyes are so narrow that I can't look at them? I'm a good person!!!

"Psst," I looked to the side, "we're partners," said Aya.

"What's the matter?" I said to her. Oh my goodness!! What will happen to Aya and I, we are both F lovers (because we usually get F marks in exams). =_

"Don't worry, Besh. We'll pass," he said.

"Huh?"

"He'll save us," then he pointed at Drake who was sleeping soundly.

"There he is!!!" I said.

"There he is. Don't be so artful, Besh. Drake will lead us to a good path. Don't you need good grades??"

Here we go again. Aya is blackmailing me again. She reads and knows that I'm chasing grades because I want to go to St. Claire's Academy!! Because Sheen my loves is going to study there.. Of course I have to follow him. Hihihi!!

"Okay?? Okay? Don't worry, for sure we'll get

in English!! Isn't it true that Drake has a straight A record?"

There he is. He's the genius!!! Hmmm. Why did he transfer here?!!! He's all high in his grades!!

"Yes.." I said.

"Yes!!!" Aya said then did a victory dance. Crazy.

Then she sat down and listed our names on a 1/4 sheet of paper, "hey, shouldn't we ask Drake if he's okay??"

"Okay, wait a minute," then she continued writing on the paper then looked at Drake, "Psst, are we partners in English, huh?" Then she finished writing, "silence means yes. Yes, Alys. We're partners," then smiled like a fool.

Please remind me why I became friends with this girl????

The next day..

"You're so awesome, Alys!! Are you really my best friend??" Aya asked me.

How could I not have reacted like that if this happened..

flashback..

"Saturday Saturday, Aya, you're making a fuss again =_______=," I said to Aya. How could it be, I was sleeping soundly in my room

with matching full blast aircon then suddenly he jumps on my bed??

"Good morning, sunshine!!" Then he jumps even harder.

"What do you need??"

"Let's go for a walk, quick!!"

Did Aya and I go for a walk? Why can't I remember anything??

"Don't think about whether we have a plan because we don't!! I just planned it. Hihi," he said.

"I-I-I'm going," I said while covering myself with the blanket again.

"Okay, Besh," he said then shook me, "I told Uncle Steve that we were going.."

I immediately stood up from the bed.

"What did you say?"

"I said, Uncle Steve is waiting for us," he said with a

sly smile.

I put my hand on my forehead, "what did you do again?"

"I said we were going to have lunch with them because we have a group project." "What?? Share is next week, huh?"

We have a project in English, book review. Ms. Clarise hasn't given out any books yet!!

"It's better to be quick than diligent, Alys. That's why we need to brainstorm while it's still early!!"

Sheet. What should I brainstorm about in a book review? =__

Because Aya's tantrums are so extreme, I'm forced to get dressed. What choice do I have left?? She's already said goodbye to mommy and daddy!! I've already arranged what I'm going to wear!!!

At Drake's house..

"Wow. Their garden is beautiful!" Aya said as we entered Drake's gate.

After Drake's gate, you'll see the garden right away. Their garden is spacious, full of roses

* Is Aunt Katrina the one

taking care of it??

We're walking along their pathway. It's tiring. =_

I saw Aya waving, "Uncle Steve!!"

Then Tito Steve waved at us too. Are they close to Aya???

Aya's Point of View

I saw Tito Steve so I waved, "Tito Steve!!"

Then Tito Steve waved at us too. Aya must be wondering if

he's taking care of this??

We were already walking along their pathway. It's tiring. =_

I saw Aya waving, "Tito Steve!!"

Then Tito Steve waved at us too. Aya must be wondering why Tito Steve and I are close. Mwahaha.

flashback..

"Tito Steve!!"

I'm here now outside Drake's house. Hehehe. I'm so

persevering in my matchmaking with Drake and Alys. I don't want my besh to end up with that crying Sheen. =_____=

"Oh, Aya, right?" Uncle Steve asked, a little surprised.

"Hehe. Yes, Aya," I said, a little embarrassed. Of course, for a demure effect. Mwahaha!!

"Oh, come on, come in. What are you doing outside our house anyway? Are you Drake?"

"What is that?"

"If only we could, let's help Drake and Alys. Match making? Hehehe."

Suddenly, Uncle Steve smiled, "yes! When I saw that kid was happy. He's always frowning. It's scary to look at, even me, his father, am afraid of him. Tsk," he said.

"Okay!! So, deal, Uncle Steve? Are we going to be cupids?"

We shook hands, "deal."

present..

So, that's what happened. Mwahaha!! Brace yourself, Alys Perez.

Alys' Point of View

"Oh, come inside and I'll just wake up that kid," said Uncle Steve.

We entered their house. While we were waiting, Aunt Katrina suddenly came out of the kitchen with juice. She looked at us so I just nodded. Aya was even more surprised. That's really weird!!

"Are you looking for Aki?" He said as he handed us the juice.

"What?"

"Sorry, I mean Drake. Are you looking for him?"

I just nodded. Hmmm. He called Drake my son. Another point for you, Aunt Katrina!! You're the pedo!!

"Alys, Aya, he's going to take a shower in a moment. You know, his girlfriend is there, making out," said Uncle Steve as if teasing.

I choked. I almost spilled the juice!!!

"Don't be shy, Alys. Uncle Steve accepts you, right, Tito?"

"Of course. She's my daughter-in-law, isn't she Katrina?"

"Ah- eh, yes," said Aunt Katrina as if confused. Hmmm. Is this beautiful girl jealous of me??? I'm beautiful!!! Woooo!! 53

After that, we just chatted. Hmmm. So, Uncle Steve and Aunt Katrina met at school. Tita Katrina is a teacher at Drake's old school!! Is it a student-teacher love affair?? Tita Katrina was a fresh graduate when she taught, and she teaches Economics. Never mind that she's 21 now. They met when the second grading was ending last year and then they became friends before the third grading started. It's great because they're getting married this coming October!! 16

"Oh, there's your boyfriend, Alys," said Tito Steve. He's like a teenager when he teases. =_______=

I blushed not because I was excited!!! Because when I see Drake, I remember his abs O///////

"Your boyfriend is everything, you're still excited. My son is really handsome," then he came closer and put his arm around Drake. Drake tried to remove Tito Steve's hand. Sheet!! They were just like brothers!!!

After that, Drake just looked at us. That's his look again. (._.)

"Ah eh, Katrina, please find the files I need to sign," Uncle Steve said to Aunt Katrina then Tita went up to get what she was asked to get, "ah eh, I'll just take Aya with me for now, Alys. I'll just show her something, okay? You and your boyfriend should talk first," she said then they left.

Is it really just me or is it like they're intentionally leaving us???? And Drake's looking at me badly again!!!! Mommy, Daddy!!!
