ALEXA'S POV
Since today is our school foundation day, several booths are set up throughout our campus. I am checking out other booths with few friends when a woman and two men come over to talk to us.
" Excuse me, who among you is Ms. Alexa? " the girl humbly asks, Wait? Is that me that they are searching for? What for? Why are they finding me?
" Why do you need her? " my best friend Rhea ask them. Woah, I am amazed that she speaks in English, is this end of the world sign?
My eye widened when the girl replied, "We find her since someone pays our booth solely to have a blind date with her."
What?! Who in the world would want to cause trouble with me? Seriously? Are they joking or messing up with me? I tried to have eye contact with my friends, but no one took the courage to look in my eye. Tsk, I am sure that they are part of this.
" She is Alexa, " Rhea answered while pointing at me
I mentally facepalm because of what she said. Seriously, is she really my best friend? Gosh, this girl. Before I can say anything, the two men are already holding me in their arms.
" What? Let go of me " I said with an irritated tone
" Sorry Miss, but if you want to be free, you first need to pay us one hundred pesos." one guy answered
" What?! Argh! " I said in astonishment.
My wallet is in the hands of my buddies, and I know they will not give it to me, so I have no alternative but to go with them. When we go to their booth, they ask me to take a seat, which I do, and when I do, they handcuff me.
" Wait? Why do you put handcuffs on me? " I asked them irritably
" The handcuffs are included in our protocol Ms. In this way, you cannot escape on your blind date, " the guy who put handcuffs on me answered.
I just rolled my eyes at them. Seriously, who did that protocol? Whoever he is make sure that he is great at hiding because I will find him , and he will receive one from me if I find him. The two men have already left us. I have no choice but to face the guy who is my " blind date ". In all fairness, he is handsome.
" Tsk, what a joke, they picked someone as ugly as this girl." he whispers
Stop me! This man is getting into my nerve
" Excuse me, are you pertaining to m--- "
* TSUP *
" Too noisy, " he said with a smirk on his face
Did he just kiss me? The nerve of this guy! I am ready to start World War 3, but I stopped when this person suddenly appeared and started removing the handcuff they put on me a while ago.
" I am sorry Ma'am, and Sir. The two of you are not supposedly the partners. " he apologetically told us that made my eye widen,
" What did you say? " I irritably said while frowning. They are not aware of what did this idiot do to me. He stole my first kiss, then we are not the partners on this blind date ?!
"Sorry Ma'am Alexa, due to many requests of girls wanting Sir Ken to be their date, the papers got mixed up. Sorry Ma'am, " he apologizes nervously.
I took a deep breath to calm myself up. This is the problem every foundation day. Students have many demands, so it became disastrous in some things.
" If he is not my date on this blind date, then who? " I calmly asked
The guy seems nervous, but he managed to answer me, " Ma'am, we mistook you for another Alexa that is written in the paper. Honestly Ma'am, you are not supposed to be here."
My jaw dropped when I heard his answer, but what irritates me the most are the laugh of this arrogant Ken.
" What is funny? " I asked with full of annoyance all over my face
" Nothing, I just thought that who on Earth would like to have a date with someone like you, " he smirked
" You! You are really getting on my nerves. " I am ready to slap him, but he is too lucky that he avoided it
" But anyway, I still enjoyed, but if you excuse me, I will just go on my real date, " he smirked, then turned his back to me. It made me more irritated.
I started turning back myself to leave this place when he suddenly gaze at my position and said, " it is sweet." His attention then shifts to my lips, which causes my cheeks to turn a bright tomato red.
" Besh! " I am ready to chase that Ken to punch his face when Rhea suddenly appears then called me. I irritably look at her.
"What! " I irritably asked while raising my eyebrow.
" You have such a hot head, look at yourself. Be calm, I am already here to save you," she added while chuckling.
" No need. It is just a misunderstanding. " I answered, then turned back and slowly started walking because
I am so annoyed by what happened. Ken snatched my first kiss after that; is this just a misunderstanding?
Unbelievable?!
To avoid having the concept mar the remainder of my day, I simply dismissed it. I will never forget this, though, so get ready for my revenge.
After a few more hours, I decided to go home. I immediately head to my computer as soon as I enter my room. I suddenly started looking at my Facebook, and the reason is that I was looking for the name Ken. But, I was unsuccessful because I did not find him on Facebook. I grudgingly shut down my computer and lay down on my bed. After a little while, I started to feel drowsy, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

ALEXA'S POV
The next day, I unusually woke up early. After eating my breakfast, I go straight to school. If you are confused about why I go to school today, it is because after our foundation day is the first day of our second semester. It is the reason why I do not have any reason to be late since it is the start of the semester, and also, I need to search for someone.
As soon as I walked through the entrance to the school, the security personnel began to welcome me. I greeted them back with a sweet smile on my face. Some of the students passing by in my direction are whispering. I am sure that it is because of what happened yesterday. I did not bother to waste my time with them, so I went straight to the principal's office. I did not bother knocking either; instead, I went right to the principal.
" Good morning Madam! " I lively greeted my mother with a big smile
Yes, you read it right. The principal slash the owner of this school is my mother. But no one among the students knows this secret. Only some of the teachers know that I am the daughter of the owner of this school.
"Good morning sweetie! Do you need anything? " my mom answered back with a smile.
"Mom, I need a small favor," I asked with puffy eyes
"What is it this time? Aside from hiding your true identity and that ugly disguise, what is it now? sweetie? " my mom worriedly asked me
I momentarily chuckled because of her face then I answered her. " Do not worry Mom. This disguise is enough. I just want to get the list of names of Grade 12 enrollees this semester?"
" What for sweetie? " Mom answered me with confusion based on the lines on her forehead.
" I am just curious about my schoolmates. Who knows? Maybe someone knows the real me. "
" Okay, just use my laptop then. " Mom answered with a smile
"Yay! Thank you, mom." I childishly thank her
I started searching the list of enrollees to see the name of that pervert. Yeah, I am searching for him because I wanna know him more for my revenge. I am Alexandra, and I will not make it slide what he had done. It is the first kiss we are talking about. Besides, no one messes up with me. After a few minutes, I lean back on the sofa as I successfully find him.
"Ken Andrew Valenzuela, " I whisper.
I turned off the laptop and put it in its back, then said goodbye to mommy. It is better so that no one will see us together. Of course, I am not shy about being her daughter, but I have my reasons. While walking, I still think about what I know so far. In all fairness, he has a handsome name. What?! I mentally slapped my face because of that thoughts. That guy is a pervert, period.
There were still 20 minutes till my first class of the semester, so I decided to go to the cafeteria. Tiffany brushed against me as I was walking. She is the campus queen and the ultimate antagonist of the school. I was unconcerned with what Tiffany did. I started walking when she grabbed my arms. I look back at her with a bored face.
" What do you need? " I calmly asked.
" You nerd! Leave my prince alone. " she pointed her fingers at me and threatened me. His prince? Who on Earth is the unlucky guy she is obsessed with?
" Ah, you do not have to worry. I do not like your taste, particularly in guys. " I teasingly answered her
"Oh really, of course, we have different tastes. Do you know why? It is because I am a beauty and you, an ugly duck. " she confidently said to my face
I smirked and answered her, " I may look ugly in your eyes, but maybe you just forget to look in the mirror to see your face. "
Some students gasped after what I said, and some chuckled silently. Gosh, our audience started to increase, and I hate these because I hate being the center of attention.
" How dare you! " she said while having a reddish check. I am sure she is really annoyed with me. However, that is her problem because she messed up with me.
" What? Who is this unlucky prince you are obsessed with and keep talking about? " I said while laughing, Duh, I may look like a nerd, but I will not retreat in any fight.
" He is Ken Andrew Valenzuela! " she shouted, her blood vessel almost visible.
My eyebrows lifted literally, after I heard the name of the guy she was talking about, That jerk? Well, in fairness, they will look like a good tandem. Due to my boredom, I thought of teasing this girl.
" What if I do not want to? " I asked her with a mischievous smirk.
" Then, I will make sure that this semester is a complete and total nightmare for you. I get what I want, ugly pig," she said while threatening me.
A chuckle comes out of my mouth then I look at her with a smirk. This girl is really getting on my nerves.
" Oh really? First of all, you are the ugliest pig between the two of us. If not for your makeup, I bet your face would be more distasteful than mine. Second, I do not care about the prince you are talking about, and you can be together if you want. And last, we both know you messed up with the wrong person, so leave immediately." I said, then added a smirk to annoy her.
" Argh, you !" she is in the act of slapping me when someone behind me talked.
"Do not dare to slap her! " he said in full authority
"Ken, " Tiffany almost lost her voice in that whisper
I immediately look in my back because of the name Tiffany called. What the! What is he doing here? He goes near our place.
" Do not dare to call my name; we are not close." His voice is colder than ice
" Sorry, my prince. " Tiffany apologizes with a scared dog-like voice.
" I do not know what is running in your mind. However, this is the first and last time you will go near with Alexa." He remarked with anger that it appeared to be a threat.
" What is so special to that nerd for her to gain your sympathy " Tiffany irritably shouted at him.
" She is the only special girl in my life besides my mother. So do not dare to touch or mess up with my girlfriend. " he said with full of threat in his tone.
Everyone gasped at what they heard, and my eyes widened literally because of what he said. Did he just call me his girlfriend? Before I could say anything, he grabbed my hands and walked fast towards the cafeteria exit. He keeps dragging me till we get to the rooftop. Wait, what is the trip of this guy? I forcefully grabbed my hand back, but he tightened his grip on me. I look at him sharply.
" What is your problem? "I asked him in an irritated manner.
" Be my girlfriend! " he answered with full of seriousness in his voice.

ALEXA'S POV
I am not in my usual for the whole day. I excused myself too in my last subject because of the surprises I encountered this day. What did I do? I said I do not want to be the center of attention.
" Ma'am Alexa, we have already arrived in the mansion. " the driver snapped my deep thought respectfully.
See? Due to my clouding thought about what happened, I did not notice that we had arrived at our mansion. I thanked our driver before I entered the house. I go straight to my bedroom so that I can rest early. However, as I opened the door, the face of Rhea welcomed me. Although I am expecting her, I am still shocked.
" Not now, Rhea; I am tired. " I told her huskily.
" If not now, then when beshy? " she dramatically asked me
I sat on my bed and faced her after releasing a long sigh.
" What now, Rhea? "
" Well, as your beshy, I deserve to know everything, "
I just rolled my eyes because of her being so dramatic. Seriously?!
" Direct to the point, Rhea, " I irritably told her
" Is the gossip true? Are you and Ken Valenzuela in a relationship? " she asks in a row
I sighed and then replied, "Yep!"
" Whaaaaaaaaaat ! How? Why? " she asks loudly!
" Tsk ! Kindly lower your voice. My older brother could hear us. He may punish me once he knows." I warn her
" How do these things happen? Why did I not know? We are best friends, no secrets, right? " she dramatically asked me.
" It is a long story, Rhea. Besides, I do not have enough energy to tell it to you. " I told her, then I lay down in my bed. I feel exhausted, even though I did not join some of the classes I had because of what happened.
I am ready to close my eyes when Rhea grabs my arm and makes me sit again. I irritably look at her.
" Look, I want to rest so beshy."
" No, no, no, you need to tell me the story. I will not be able to be quiet without knowing the whole story. " Rhea insisted.
" Fine, " I irritably answered as a sign of defeat that made her smile.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Ken dragged me along till we were on the rooftop. Even though I tried to grab my hand back, he kept tightening his grip. This guy is getting on my nerves. He even made some malicious remarks. His girlfriend? Huh! We are not even friends.
" What is your problem? " I shouted at his face.
" Be my girlfriend. " Ken answered me in the most determined tone.
"What? Are you kidding? " I hysterically replied.
" No, do I look like joking to you? " he answered me back in seriousness.
" And what do you think of me? I do not even know you, so I do not have any reason to be your girlfriend. " I angrily told him.
" Look, I am doing you a favor. The whole campus knew about us. " Ken answered me with the same face he had.
" And so? It is easy to tell that you are just kidding a while back. Gosh, you are really getting on my nerves. My first class will start a bit, so take care of your issue. "
After I told him those words, I turned my back to him and started approaching the rooftop exit when he said something that made me stop.
" Then, what do you think will happen? A disgrace in you and your family? You do not want your school to think poorly of you, Am I right? "
I immediately looked at him because of what he said. How did he know about that? Only some people were supposed to know that.
" How did you know?" I firmly asked him
He gave me a mischievous smile and answered, " I have my sources, darling."
" Do not dare to tell anyone about it. " I said with a threat.
" Then be my girlfriend, and I will not." He said while smirking.
"Fine," I said in surrender.
He gave me an "I win" smile that made me roll my eyes. If it is not because I do not want everyone to know my connection in this school, I will never bother to agree with this jerk.
*** END OF FLASHBACK ***
" Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! " I almost got deaf after Rhea shouted
" Tsk,I told you to speak more quietly. " I said it with the most irritated tone of my voice
She just smiled at me and said, " It is thrilling think about it. I only read this with novels, but it is now happening to you. O-M-G. "
" There is nothing sweet, Rhea. He blackmailed me. " I said irritably, but she continued to smile.
" Duh, maybe he likes you. Moreover, it is your fault because you want an ugly nerd disguise. You also do not want our schoolmates to know that your family-owned our school. " she lectured me.
" Well, my disguise will be nothing if they will know. " I answered back
" Yeah! Whatever with capital W. But the most important thing is you have a love life. You are a grown-up already. " she said to me teasingly.
" Who has a love life? "
When we heard the voice coming from the door of my room, we nearly leaped out of bed from shock.
This is what I am talking about a while ago. Rhea is too noisy. No one tries and dares to answer my brother's question.
" I repeat, who has a love life? " my brother asked us again, but this is scarier than a while back
I answered my brother's question, "It is Rhea, yes, she is," despite my anxiety.
My brother turned his gaze from me to the nervous Rhea.
"Is that true, Rhea? " my brother asks calmly but with authority
Rhea looks at me and my brother alternately. I cannot blame her. He likes my brother, but she needs to save me from the problem she causes me. When her eyes met mine again, I glared at her and gave her a " just say yes " look.
" Ahm, yes " Rhea answered hesitantly then bent her head down.
" Is that so? Congratulations then. By the way, you two should rest because your class tomorrow is early. "
After Kuya told me that he went outside my room. As the door closes, Rhea strikes me with his hand.
" What? "
" Are you insane? You know what I feel about your brother then you pointed me. " she said with teary eyes.
" I'm sorry Rhea. But it is your fault, to begin with. " I scolded her while raising my right eyebrow.
" You are so mean. I am broken-hearted if you did not notice. " she said while pouting her lips
" Aish, I will do something to fix this. But for now, I wanna rest so good night and sweet dreams. "
" Fine, good night din Alexa. " she greeted me back
After she said that, she went up to my bed. I am sure she will sleep here. Since I do not have any energy to debate with her, I just lay down beside her.
What a day! I wonder what will happen next with this fake relationship.
