Chapter 18
Alys' Point of View:
"M-mommy?"
*crosses herself*
"What time is it, Alys Zyril Perez?"
*deep breath*
Oh no! I can't read the time!! Why did mommy have to ask now? I'm so pressured! Oh God!!
"Drake, what time is it?"
"Tss. 6:15," he said.
I looked at mommy, "It's 6:15, m-mom."
Lord, guide my mother. Give her wisdom and understanding. Let her see the light.
"Is that an appropriate time for a decent girl to come home?"
"Isn't it better than coming home late? Hehe," I said. Please work, my cuteness!!
"Go inside," mommy said.
Goodbye, gaming consoles. I will see you again very soon. Maybe if I pass the second grading, I can get them back from mommy. She'll probably confiscate everything.
As I walked inside, I looked at Daddy. Haaay. Daddy is also scared of mommy. Well, who isn't? Hehehe.
"Where do you think you are going?" Oh no. Mommy switched to English, "What's your name?"
I looked behind me. Oh no! Mommy is talking to Drake!!
"Drake Palma," said Drake.
Why is he still so cool in front of my mom?? It's unfair!! I'm about to pee myself from nervousness, and he's just acting normal??
"Very well, come inside as well, Mr. Palma. My husband and I would like to clarify some things with you," mommy said.
Lord, please take care of me.
Eydee's Point of View:
Drake and Alys were entering the house. If only you knew how nervous Alys was! She could barely walk because of her anxiety! Hahaha!
As for Drake? Pfft! He's not nervous at all! Why? Because he's used to talking to parents. You know Drake's charisma; it's overflowing. And he's being quiet right now. He's used to it. Back at his old school, girls would just pull him along. Then he'd be surprised to find himself sitting at their dining table talking to their parents. At first, he was shocked. But he got used to it over time. They kept pulling him. He preferred to stay quiet to avoid getting to Katrina. That would be a mess if it happened.
They arrived at the receiving area of Alys's house.
"Sit down," Alys's mom said.
Alys and Drake sat quietly.
"Why did you come home late?" Alys's mom asked.
Alys hesitantly spoke, "Uh, I got locked in the stockroom. But I wasn't with Drake, I promise!! I was surprised he carried me earlier, mommy!! Don't be mad. Waaaah."
Mommy turned to Drake, "Is that true? You weren't together last night?"
Drake shook his head.
A gasp escaped Alys's mom! Oh no! Here comes Drake's playful side again. What is he planning? Hmmm.
"Alys Zyril Perez, when did you learn to lie?!"
Alys' Point of View:
What's happening??
"Mommy.. I-I didn't.. Uh.. Waaaaaaaaah! Drake, really! We weren't together last night!!"
What is Drake saying? We really weren't together last night! Mommy is getting mad at me! Daddy is just quiet! I have no one to back me up!!
Daddy took a deep breath and then spoke, "Let them explain," and then hugged mommy. Good thing she calmed down. She's scary when she's mad!
"Explain yourselves," he said.
Deep breath, Alys, "I got locked in the stockroom. I promise I wasn't with him!" then I raised my hand. This is really the fault of Like Girls!! If they hadn't locked me in there, this wouldn't have happened!! Grr! They're so dead when I see them at St. Claire's! "I was with Neil."
Mommy's eyes widened, "Who's Neil, Alys?"
"Uh, just a batchmate?"
She turned to Drake, "Do you know this Neil?"
Drake shook his head, "There's no Neil in our batch."
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE DRAKE PALMA IS BETRAYING ME RIGHT NOW???
Mommy turned back to me, "Alys? What did I say about lying?"
Deep breath, Alys, "Lying means goodbye to technology for two weeks."
She smiled, "Good. Now, are you ready to admit what you did last night?"
Waaah! My head hurts! I told the truth, but I'm still getting grounded! What should I say? Should I just lie?!!
I shot Drake a glare, "I was with Drake last night. He touched me."
*smirk*
Two can play this game, Mr. Palma.
Eydee's Point of View:
Alys's mom almost fainted at what Drake said.
He touched her? Wahaha! For the win, Alys Perez! For the win.
Drake smirked again, "She asked for it."
Alys dropped her jaw at what Drake said. She asked for it? God! Is Drake really looking for trouble?
Alys spoke, recovering from what Drake said, "Because you said you'd r*pe me in the stockroom if I didn't agree."
"Define r*pe, Ms. Perez," Drake said. He was amused by Alys's reaction. Her literal jaw drop was priceless. Epic! Hahaha!
"R*pe. Just r*pe!"
Drake just smiled, "You asked for it, Ms. Perez. I highly doubt that it would be r*pe if it ever happened."
(~_^)
While Drake and Alys were exchanging teasing remarks, Alys's daddy couldn't help but laugh, "Wait a minute, are you my daughter's boyfriend, Palma?"
Drake looked at Alys, "According to your daughter, yes, sir. I'm her boyfriend."
Alys didn't know what to do; would she faint or sink into the ground from embarrassment! Drake recounted what he did when he first visited their house! How he introduced himself as Alys's boyfriend. Of course, knowing Drake, he only said the bare minimum. He's lazy when it comes to speaking. Hahaha!
If she was embarrassed by what she heard, Alys's dad was laughing at it, "Princess.. I never thought you were like this. I thought you liked Sheen. Turns out you already have Drake."
T^T
Sheen.. Haaay. Are they back together again? I hope so, and I hope they're happy. I'll just have to forget what I feel. It's probably better that we're best friends than strangers, right?
(>.>) glaring at Drake.
"Because, daddy, I don't really treat Drake as my boyfriend, so I sometimes forget. Right, boyfriend?" sweet smile at Drake.
He smiled back at me. Creepy!! "Because you always hurt my feelings, girlfriend."
Daddy stepped in between the imaginary electricity wave between Drake and me! Despicable Guy!!
"Oh, you might fight. Okay, Drake, you should go home; your family might be looking for you," Dad said.
Drake stood up, and I handed him his coat. Tsk. Attention-seeking abnormal person! Before Drake could leave, Dad asked him, "What's your base?"
Drake smiled, "Second."
