UnXpected

What is Love?

Let's just say that "Love" always starts between two people.... two people who seek this kind of feeling that makes us live more in a meaningful way.

The question is, how do we know if that love could really make our lives more meaningful? If you are happy with him, do you think that it is the right person? If he makes your heart flutter and give you butterflies, do you think you should fall for him already? If he says the three magic words 'I love you', does that mean you are a couple already?

So how can we be so sure that this is Love?

First, Honesty

What is this so called "Honesty"? It's simple, if he is true to you in all aspects especially to your feelings and pays attention to it. It makes you ponder about it if he is doing it out of pity or wants you to know that he is only honest to you. Is he the one?

How do you know or going to make sure that he is "The One"? Or should I say... the one that got away? Because you aren't his' "The One"? Maybe you're his "The Two? The Three? Ten?"... Yeah, it hurts I know that for a fact, but it happens. Especially to those people that believe on the saying "Love is Blind" it is tricky.

You get blinded by love of course, that you think that he is the one, but deep inside he is just making you, his rebound. Oh, see? didn't see that coming' huh? Because he built up all your hopes and dreams. There is a chance that he will just play you in his hands, and in the end, you are just going to get hurt.

Second, Trust

What really does "Trust" mean and must do in a relationship? If there is no trust, then what? Yeah, you form trust if you are honest with each other, but it doesn't run in the line of honesty. It goes with a different line; you choose to trust someone and 'RISK' what you have and believe on the person. With, what if you saw something that brought the downfall of your trust to him? Betrayal, right? You need to trust to be betrayed. Would you still stay and listen for the reasons or just give up because it hurts?

Lastly, Care

"Care" is the most important thing in any kind of love. Family, friends, and lovers.

In a relationship, care is the center of anything. Even if he asks you 'Have you eaten yet?', 'What are you up to?', 'Who are you coming with?', 'Are you okay?', 'What do you want to eat?', 'Are you happy?', 'Was it tiring? 'You need to rest and take a break?'.. Even by actions it works the same way, you can see most of the time care is surrounded throughout the relationship.

But what if... by the time that you guys separated from each other, then that was the only time he started caring? Are there any unexpected reasons behind that? Would you choose to find the answers by yourself or just ignore it knowing that he might just trying to get you to play his games again? A real mystery indeed, boys nowadays sheesh. Am I right girls?

Do you want to know the truth?

The truth that lies behind the curtains of these two people, seeking answers only to find out that it leads to odd decisions, just to realize some "unXpected" reasons that they weren't prepared for~

Dianna's POV

"Hey Maxine, spin that bottle already girl c'mon"

"Okay fine! Here I go!"

We watched the bottle spin until it stops and points a person. Yep, you guessed it, the good old spin the bottle game that a person must do a dare or face a truth when someone asks you a question. This brings childhood memories.

The bottle is slowing down and it looks like.... Oh no... please don't tell me....

The bottle is pointed to me.... great.

"Dianna! Truth or dare?"

"Um.... dare. Kidding! Truth of course"

"Ehh! Which one for real?"

"Truth! Truth hehehe peace"

"Hmmmm Dianna..."

"Yeah?"

"Who is your first kiss?"

"Ehh? F~First kiss? Hmmm"

Flashback

'"cock a doodle doo~~ cock a doodle doo"

What is that sound?! Shuush!

"cock a doodle doo~~ cock a doodle doo~"

This rooster, I'm going to fry you if you don't stop!

"cock a doodle doo~ cock a doodle doo~"

One! If you don't stop, I'm going to fry you alive! Then I'm going to give you to the owner and let him eat you!

"COCK A DOODLE DOO~~ COCK A DOODLE DOO~"

Ahh, I see how it is, you don't want to stop?!!! Get over here you... wait, why is there a rooster? Why is there a sound like that? We don't have a rooster.

I got up from bed and just sat down, quickly rubbing my eyes to see clearly... Wait, I slept here? What in the crazy world happened? And why am I dizzy and my head hurts? Uhhh....

"cock a doodle doo~ cock a doodle doo~"

Arghhh this rooster is getting on my nerves and where is it?!

I looked around me why is it different? This is clearly not my bedroom. Now I remember, this is the guestroom of my best friend's house.

"cock a doodle doo~ cock a doodle doo~"

I looked at the side and saw the cause of the rooster noise. It was just an alarm clock, for real I don't know why my best friend's guestroom alarm clock is a rooster. Hold on a second, why am I here in the first place? What happened exactly? Also, my head is hurting nonstop, did I drink? Wait, I think I'm going to throw up ughh.

I was about to stand up and I looked at myself and I have no clothes on. Literally nothing, not even my shorts, completely naked! Well, I do have fine lines, not stretch marks I don't have those. I looked on the other side to find my clothes and it was there.... right on top of someone. That someone is right beside me and it's a GUY! His back was facing me and why does he have no shirt on? Does he have no shorts on? Wait let me.... No no no Dianna stay away, don't look. Just take the clothes hurry and go.

Self why are you like this... don't tell me what I'm thinking now is what happened? No no no don't think of that Dianna stop!

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. You're still a virgin, okay? I'm just keeping myself calm for now, but I still can't avoid the fact that something happened with me and him. Augh I don't want to live anymore.

I need to get out of here quick.

I slowly stood up and then my bag was just under the bed thank God. Right beside the sofa and there is a door, I think that is the restroom of this guestroom. I got my bag and just sprinted all the way, and as soon as I close the door I'm almost out of breath. Did I just run a marathon?

I checked myself if there is any part of my body hurting. Ouch! Yeah, my head still hurts, the after taste of alcohol is still there ugh, I just want to throw up right now. Wait why is my stomach hurting as well, I mean right below that is...AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

I looked at myself in the mirror with big eyes.

"What if something did happen? What about my.......W-what the..." I stopped talking and my eyes widened even more when I saw there is a kiss mark on my neck! Like what in the world is happening to me right now?

"What did you do to get yourself into this mess Dianna??!! You shouldn't have drunk alcohol!!" Screamed at myself at the mirror like a total lunatic that just gave up in myself.

I really need to get out of here now, good thing I have spare clothes I can use now.

I quickly pulled the fresh clothes out of my bag.

And put them on, combed my hair and just put on powder on my face so it won't look like something happened. Wait, what am I going to use for the kiss mark on my neck? There are a lot of them, why in the world? It's so embarrassing going home like this. I should just borrow a scarf from Melanie to cover this up. These marks are really killing me!

One last check, okay it doesn't look I slept with someone. Gahd Dianne you're pretty 'kiss kiss', okay let's get out of here and find.... As soon as I open the door

"OUCH! Did I bump myself on a wall?" I was surprised when I tried to touch the wall. "This isn't a wall" Quickly I opened my eyes, and it was the guy who was beside me in bed. And I'm, I'm touching his chest? Ehh! I quickly let go of my hand and ran out and just said "I'll be going first, bye!" And the guy just stood there scratching his head and I ran down quickly out of the guest room to find my best friend Melanie

As I went out of the guestroom,

I went to the bedroom of Melanie to check if she was there, so she could lend me the scarf I needed desperately.

"Bestie? Bestie are you awake? Bes?" I was knocking on the door but there was no one answering my shouting

"Bestie?! Bes Melanie are you there by any chance?! Bes?!" I tried holding the doorknob and twisted it to see if it was locked, but it wasn't though. I slowly opened it and peeked inside, hmm looks like no one is here. Great!

Maybe she's in the living room and just lying on the floor sleeping.

I went down the stairs. Yes, stairs, the guestroom is on the second floor. You get it by now she's rich, moving on, I was going down to find her and to end this misery.

As I got there the whole place is just trashed. Some party huh? The whole living room is just a mess, and it reeks of alcohol woooh! Bottles are just everywhere, and some glasses are just shattered, with some sleeping bodies. And one of the bodies is my best friend Melanie, she is sleeping, but she is on the sofa. I guessed I got that one right.

Why is her position in sleeping is so weird? She looks like she just performed a ballet show.

I went closer to her and gave a tap on the shoulder to wake her up "Bestie? Melanie wakes up. Wake up come on" She pushed me, and I thought she meant it, but she was still asleep. "Chocolate milk yummy" And apparently, she was also dreaming, nice. You left me no choice, I went back to her and just pinched her arm.

"Ouch! What the heck?? Dianna?" As she said it, she stretched out and yawns. Lol I want to mess her up more with her looks like now, but no I need that scarf. Save the pranks for next time Dianna. She got up and asked, "What happened here? I think I drank a lot of last night, I know I drank only 1 bottle" Gahd she is cute as well "You drank 1 bottle and 2 other bottles of alcohol Melanie hahaha"

"Yeah, I do look like wasted hehe sorry. How was in the guest room by the way? I bet it was all comfy" As she looks at me and then stopped and stares right on my.... Yeah, you guessed it. My lovely neck. "What happened Dianna? Why are there a bajillion marks on your neck?"

"B-Bess. Look I don't know as well. We were both wasted, I woke up with these marks, and there was a guy beside me."

"Oh my gosh, who was it?"

"I don't know to be honest, classmate I think?"

"Your classmate Dianne?"

"Nope, yours Melanie."

"Hmmm, what exactly happ...?"

"Oh yeah Bess" I cut her off to stop going to that topic that I don't want to remember, "Can you lend me your scarf? I need to go home, and I don't want to be caught with these marks."

"Okay okay just stay right there and I'll go get it in my room be right back" Halfway the stairs and she spoke. "Ohh Blake! Where did you come from? Where did you sleep as well?"

Ahh Blake? Blake is that guy's name... Wait, isn't he the guy from earlier? The one beside me on bed? He's wearing clothes now at least.

In fairness he does have the looks, his build and muscles are like from James Reid. Not to mention that he is also white, and his eyes are slanted, is he Korean? Wait why am I even looking at him? Dianna keeps yourself together girl.

"I was in the guestroom, I'm going to go home after drinking some water, thanks for the party, Melanie". Blake says it with a smile. Both are just at the stairs and I'm just watching on the sofa like a stalker.

"Oh, okay okay, just go to the kitchen there are glasses and just get the water from the fridge."

"Sure" He was going down and looked at my direction and I hid suddenly.

Am I the one is he looking at? Why does it seem like it?

I just took my phone in my bag and pretend I'm doing something. So that he doesn't get the idea I'm looking at him. Even though I looked away from him, on the corner of my eye I see him walking towards here. Noooo stop you criminal scum, don't go here. My mind is about to blow. Why am I getting nervous suddenly? What is he going to do?

Until then...

"Mi-miss?" My eyes widen from his voice. He was already in front of me, but I didn't look at him and kept on looking at my phone. Yes Dianna, just ignore him, then he will ignore you too.

"Miss what's your name?" I still don't budge from his words. Yes, just like that Dianna. Don't utter a word, not a single response.

"Miss? Those marks on your neck." Is he not going to stop asking me? Everything is just awkward from this morning till now, and I'm all pressured by this guy.

"And last night, sorr-"

"Oh, Hello Mom? Yeah, I'm about to leave already and on my way home." He didn't get to finish what he said, and I just faked call my mom, good thinking girl. He was surprised and stepped back and went on his way to the kitchen to drink his precious water, I guess. My phone was still on my ear, and I saw Melanie running down the stairs with the scarf that I needed so badly.

"Bess here you go, are you sure you're going home? You sure you don't want to stay for coffee? It's your favorite" As she says it in a cute way while giving the scarf.

"Uhm thanks, but no thanks Bess. Maybe next time, I still have classes to attend"

"Class? On a Saturday? Are you on drugs?"

Jacob Valdez sent you a friend request.

Accept / Delete

Hmmm Jacob Valdez? Who is this guy? Meh I should just check it later at home, who knows what my professor will do when I get caught using a phone at class.

Our professor just gave us a whole translation. Even it took hours I still couldn't get it; I need brain cells. Why did I even stayed up late watching dramas? What to do? I just shut my eyes and just put my head on my desk.

"...so how does the. s ha...ppen? so... t. he" I really can't understand anything that my professor is saying. My eyes just gave up on it. Aack!! Oh well! I am sleepy now. I'm just going to nap a bit. I don't think my professor would catch me since my seat is at the back side of the class.

"Psst hey... psst Dianna what are you doing?" I hear Maxine whispering beside me.

"Max gahd I'm really sleepy. My eyes just can't keep up with the lesson." I whisper back at her.

"You stayed up all night? Dianna, you keep on doing these things. Look at your face, you're basically a panda or a racoon."

"The drama was so good to watch, I had to stay up for it."

"Then what time did you even sleep?"

"5 am"

"What the-"

"Ehem" and that was our professor. Maxine reacted loudly that she was heard, nice going Max

"Please avoid speaking while I'm having a class"

"Anyway, this kind of~" blah blah blah gahd, why is his voice like that? Sounds so lethargic, it is the kind that makes you want to listen to a lullaby.

"Psst Dianna" whispered by Max

"What? I swear if we get caught again by sir."

"Eh well. Seriously? 5 am? How many hours of sleep did you get? Did you even sleep?"

"Kinda like that, I guess"

"Wow the determination, I applaud you girl. But you looked like a zombie. A while ago you were energetic in telling your lovey dovey first kiss with Blake. For real are you sleepy because of the professor or the drama you watched?"

"Tsss"

"Just kidding pfft"

"Max let's just talk later, okay? I bet sir is-"

"Ms. Zandoval and Ms. Magno! Last Warning!" Called it, relax Dianna, just a few more minutes

Lunch

"Phew finally sir's time is done, no more lecture" It's a bit frustrating why does he teach like that? Lullaby voices, it really makes you sleep.

"You watched drama all night, that just added up to your drowsiness." Maxine giving me a nudge on the shoulder.

"Bess come on let's all hurry, I don't want to wait in line, there might not be any food left with all of your talking." Ella runs while pulling all of us, completely dragging us haha. We just let go of her hand she went zooming towards the cafeteria. Yes, school cafeteria, our school has those, one of the few things I am thankful for. Our food is served in trays and quite good delicacies if I'm being honest wow. Well, it is included in our tuition, so it is a no choice for us, unless we bring our own food at school. The food just tastes so great here... top quality as the others says, well I'll admit, the food is second to my cooking. A little bit of bragging from time to time, just give me my moment readers.

"Hmmm... Beef stew, rice, Mashed Potato, Lasagna, and our drinks is either milk or orange juice in a carton" Maine can't hide the excitement of all the wonders of the food being offered today.

See! Our lives here are just going well, if you are asking how in the world, I got into this school is because of my good academic grades. In my last school I was one of the top honored students that's why I got myself a scholarship in this prestigious school it was hard for my parents since we just live in a normal life. HR is the course that me and my friends took for university, and I want to become a health service manager one day. And of cour-... Why are the students besides us are so noisy? What are they even saying? I'm giving a background check of myself here!

"Do you hear what they are saying? They're making too many noises." I whispered with a glint of frustration from their noise.

"Them? The table beside us, right?" Maxine replies in a provocative way that she even points at the other table. Of course, I quickly put her hand down because it is embarrassing. "Ah because there is someone- Wait don't tell me you guys haven't heard the news yet?" Maxine replies with confusion.

"What news?" says Ella

"Is it today, Max?" Maine quickly hops on the conversation

"What do you mean today? Just spill the beans already!?" Ella is getting all worked up with the tension around us.

"You guys really don't know? Even you Dianna? No clue at all?"

"I got nothing Max" I said with a soft reply with a sip of my milk.

"That's why we're asking you Max, now spill it." Ella is not in a good mood; I could tell you that.

"Guys we have a new transferee coming to this school. HR is also his course, but I'm not quite sure what class is he going to be in." Maxine says it in a calmly manner, like for real? She hyped us for that. What's the big deal with this transferee though? A star? Son of a governor?

"Eh? So what? Rich kid? Son of a mayor? President? Friend of a star?" Ella replies with more confusion than me. Well, she read my mind like an open book. Great minds do think alike haha.

"Handsome?" We all looked at Maine surprisingly when she said that. Come to think of it, is he handsome?

"They have like a huge company in the US, almost all other companies are in it and their shares are incomparable. I think his brother is also coming here as a transferee soon.

Ahh so that's why there are a lot of talks about the guy, sounds interesting.

"He has an older brother?" Maine just keeps asking so suddenly that it gets us so bad.

"Hey, don't tell me Maine, you already like the guy even without seeing him yet? Just focus on your studies haha you are still our baby." Max just loves to tease Maine. We were all surprised with Maine's answers, but we all have our own preferences so yeah, no big deal.

"Hahah sure study I'll do that. But guys, there's only like 5 mins for our lunch, we might be late if we don't get back now." Oh, my gahd, we were focused on the story telling and chit chats that we might be late. We didn't even finish our lunch yet. ARGHH!

We quickly gobbled up our lunch. Ourr next subject is History, I don't like it, but I have no choice. The professor is also a terror ugh. School is school.

End of Lunch Break

We went out of the cafeteria and on our merrily skipped to class. Who wouldn't with a full stomach right?

"The food was so good; I think I'm going to explode" While Ella's holding her tum tums.

"I agree on that" Followed by Maine. And here comes Maxine hurrying and pushing us so we could go faster to our classrooms.

"Yeah, you guys are full, too heavy for me to push haha"

"Eh why are you pushing us then? You're the one struggling not us haha" Jokingly I smile to Max while sipping my milk.

"I'm already used to struggling with people" Maxine replies

"Wow strong woman? hahahah" As Ella flexes her imagination muscles hahaha.

I want to go to the restroom first so I could fix my make up, I feel like my face is haggard. Girls treat yourself with self-care. Love yourself. No, I'm not a BTS army sorry hahaha. We should be beautiful, like me. Jk just give me this chance to motivate myself.

"Hey Bess, I need to go and fix my make up first. You guys go on ahead, okay?" And I ran towards the stairs because below it is the restroom for females. As soon I turned the corner, something hard hit my head. Not too hard, looks like a chest of someone. We both fell because of the impact of me running.

"Mi-Miss are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" Wait, what did he say? Why is this happening? Even though he is talking, my head just automatically cancels it. All I know is that in these seconds I have been staring at him. Wait what am I doing? His eyes just get me, but where have I seen those before? Familiar? ARGH, erase that from your mind Dianna.

As I looked away from him, my face was feeling warm. Am I blushing?

He stood up first from the fall that happened.

"Miss are you okay? Your face is red, are you sick by any chance?" As he reaches his hand to help me get up. Wow he's a gentleman. Plus, points maybe?

"No no no, I'm fine" Yet I shoved his hand to get up on my own. I got up and just went on my way to the restroom and closed the door behind me as I enter from the embarrassing moment that happened. I looked at the mirror to see that my face is red. Why am I red?

"Okay Dianna, you are fine. I'm okay. You just bumped into someone" While I put my make up back and trying to remove the stain and smell of the milk on my polo shirt.

"Argh! Why is the stain not removing? I have to get going before I get late."

I ran out of the restroom and as I went to the classroom, I passed by from the place that the incident happened with the guy from earlier. I didn't even ask his name.

Dianna what are you thinking right now?! I need to hurry now.

As I went through the corridor the professor looked at me as I pass him by. I didn't greet him, and I just went in the room through the backdoor to avoid being seen by the other students. Phew I went by fast, good grief. Hehe little flex over here.

My friends greeted me with uneasy eyes, staring right at my polo.

"Ey what happened? Why is your polo wet, on your chest and it's milk?" Maxine was just helping me with removing the stain

"OMG Don't tell me you're a mom already? who's the father? hahaha just kidding'" I want to slap Ella right now, grrrrrrr.

"Well, I bumped into someone as I turned on the corner of the stairs, then we both fell to the ground and the milk spilled on my polo." They just all nodded from my explanation because they all know that I have some clumsy moments like running and then bumping to people.

"I'm just going to close my coat, so it won't show" Yes you heard me guys, we have school coats

"Good afternoon class" says our professor as he enters the room, we greeted him back. But our adviser also came in? I wonder why? Maybe another announcement, I guess.

"Good afternoon my children, you can all sit down now. Sir can you please allow me to announce something to the class." Awwwww our adviser is so sweet. We love him so much.

"I just have an announcement to make, you guys probably heard about the transferee coming from the US. The family of the transferee is also a big partner of our school, for they handle all the scholarships and other funded projects of students. That's why a lot of you guys are lucky."

"Wow their influence is big huh, even here Bess, even your scholarship is held by that family" Maxine whispers while the announcement is made.

"Yeah, looks like we have to be careful of that transferee" I replied to her. huhu Why do I feel like I'm afraid of something when I shouldn't even be?

"We all know that it is from our same department. And I'm glad to announce HE IS IN OUR CLASS!"

Suddenly the class went outburst with mixed feelings, some are happy, scared, anticipating, some are anxious like me hehe.

Seriously? Our class? We are so lucky; we have another handsome guy. The shouting of people in the room just turned it into a zoo.

"Okay okay calm down kids, even I was shocked that we have a new family member. Should I call him now?

"Yes sir!" Everyone shouts in unison like in a choir, it's like an idol is about to come in.

"You may come in please."
