Chapter 17
Drake and Alys were still sitting next to each other in the stock room. Hmmm. It was a rare opportunity to lean on the shoulder of someone like Drake Palma, who was considered an outcast!
"Sheen..."
Alys was currently sleep talking. Haaay. Poor Alys, still bothered by what Sheen told her earlier. It was about first love! They say that it's dangerous for someone used to being alone because when someone shows concern, it's likely they'll develop feelings. It's the law of nature, guys. That's just how it is. That's why those who are heartbroken often find someone new in those they cry on.
"Tsk," said Drake.
Aside from his shoulder getting sore from the weight of Alys's head (and at the same time wondering why Alys's head seemed so empty), he was also annoyed that he wasn't in Japan. He was still at St. Claire's! He checked his wristwatch; it was already 4 a.m. Just a few more hours, and the sun would rise.
He felt that Alys was cold; she was shivering a bit. It was already August, and the -ber months were coming, so it made sense that it was chilly. He carefully took off his coat and draped it over Alys. Drake was being cautious! He didn't want to accidentally touch something and have Alys blame him for it!
"Weird girl," Drake said to Alys.
But still! Drake was pleased with what Alys said last night.
*6 a.m.*
Alys' Point of View:
(-_-)
Why do I feel like I'm moving?
(-_-)
Why am I so fidgety?
(~_^)

"Drake?!!"
Oh no! Why am I on a piggyback ride with Drake Palma??! Oh no! And it's morning! My mom and dad are going to scold me! I told them I'd be home by past 12 from the acquaintance party!! How annoying!
"Sssh," Drake said.
"Why are you carrying me?" I asked him. Why is he carrying me anyway?? I know it's sweet, hihihi, but it's so weird! Who was I with last night?? That Neil guy!! That megalomaniac Neil! Grrrr. After he touched my pearl, he left me in the stockroom, and now I wake up being carried by Drake on the way home??
"Ouch!" I shouted. Is he going to drop me?? "Why did you let me go??"
"You're noisy," he said.
"You should've at least told me before you did that!! Grr," I said while holding my backside. It hurts. -////-
He sat back down in front of me, "hop on."
"Tch," I said and got back on him. He should be thankful that my fall hurt so much that I couldn't walk!! This guy is not a gentleman at all!! What if I broke something because of him?? That would be fine. At least I wouldn't have to go to school for a few days. No physics, no calculus, no trigonometry. Wehehe.
"Ah-ah," Drake said, "what the hell?! Are you trying to kill me?!"
0.0
"Huh??" I asked. What did I do now? \(0.0)/
"You wanna suffocate me to death??"
I looked at him; he was holding his neck.
Did I just choke him unconsciously?? I think I really need to see a shrink. This is getting dangerous!!
"S-sorry," I said. Oh no! Drake almost turned purple earlier! What am I doing?!
"Tch," he said, then... t-then...
*gulp*
He unbuttoned the collar of his long sleeves.
One...
Two...
Three—oh wait, only two buttons! Don't assume, Alys!!
"Sorry, Drake. I didn't mean to..."
(-_-) ---> normal Drake Palma face.
"Forgiven and forgotten. Hehe," I said.
"Tsk. Weird," he muttered quietly.
"I'm not weird!! You're the weirder one!!"
He ignored me again. As usual. What's new about that, right?
We were walking to my house. Hmm. Usually, it's just a 10-minute walk! Why does it feel like it's becoming 20 minutes when I'm with Drake Palma??
"Okay, I'll just stay here."

"Daddy? Mommy?"
Why are my mom and dad waiting outside the gate??
"Why did you come home so late, Alys Zyril Perez?"
*gulp*
Look at Drake: messy hair, no coat, two buttons of his long sleeves undone.
Look at myself: messy hair, wearing Drake's coat, pale from nervousness.
Oh noes!!
Aya's Point of View:
(~_~)
"Child, who brought you home last night?"
What's up with my mom?? Just because she saw a guy with me, you'd think something miraculous happened in our house!
"Roach," I said.
Haaay. It's only 9 a.m., and my mom already woke me up to ask about that annoying Kent Justin Valdez! Grrr!
"Hihihi. Maybe he's your suitor, huh, Gabriella," she said while putting cereals on my plate. What's this? My mom is acting like a teenager. Good thing my dad hasn't left her!
"Yuck, mom. Don't call me Gabriella. Gross."
Haaay. My lungs hurt! I could barely breathe in what I wore last night!! And I even threw up from what that Kent guy was saying! Grrr! I don't want to go to school on Monday!
I'm sure he'll annoy me!! How annoying!! Instead of just focusing on Alys's Seducing Drake Palma plan, now I have to deal with Get rid of Kent Justin Valdez. -_-
After eating, I went up to my room. Mehehe. I missed my voodoo dolls.
I opened my laptop and continued my research. Hmm. Here's what I've gathered so far.

This Drake is so frustrating!! How can I help Alys if all I know about him is this superficial information?? Duh! There isn't even a question like "What is love?" or "What do you find most attractive?" That Palma guy is so trivial!!
And his Facebook page is just full of stolen pictures. -_- Seriously, his stalkers are so creepy!! Hahaha!

What is this? Drake is sleeping, walking, taking exams, shopping. -_- What's so interesting about what he's doing? I wish they'd take pictures of me if that's all they're doing. Tsk. Should I ask Tito Steve for a picture of Drake without his shirt on? Would his stalkers buy that? Hehehe.
