6 Six

I look at the names and I saw their names. Thea Adriano, and James. I look at her as if I'm asking if its legit or not.

"I have proposal, nerdy man. Meet me at the back of gymnasium in 3 of the afternoon." She said then leave.

~~~

I was taken back when I saw someone stepping out from the car so I get on my car immediately.

I would like to show this to Carmela to make her realize that she is being too stupid. I worked out my courage, but still. I can't get myself to ruin the relationship she's fighting for.

~~~

When I got home, I just straight walk at my room and throw myself at my bed. I didn't bother to eat since I am too occupied to be hungry. I can't help but think what happened earlier. I don't know if I should concern myself to the engagement of Thea to James, or to tell Carmela what is the situation. Either way, I'm not into the position to decide.

Carmela is involved and I can't risk to tell her just to hurt her. But considering the situation, no matter what explanation they come up, it will hurt her. I hope that they will explain this to Carmela immediately, or at least I wish I could help her.

I am madly in love with Carmela, and I can say it to the whole world. So no matter what happen, I will protect her. I have one solution that I can think of.

~~~

It's against on my will and promise, but I will do it for Carmela. I want to do my best if I want Carmela to be happy. But first, I must heard Thea's proposal.

I walk at the back of the gym and I saw her waiting for me. She still wearing her P.E uniform, maybe they just finish their P.E.

I waved at her to let her know that I'm here.

--

"I'll get straight to the point. I want you to be my boyfriend." She said.

Ha?

I was taken back.

"Boyfriend? As in pretending?"

She shook her head. Then what kind of boyfriend I will play? W-wait, don't tell me that this Campus Queen fall in love with me!

"Pretending? what sort cliché novel are you reading. I need you to make me fall in love with you."

Then my jaw drop

She want a big cooperation with me, and it is exceeded on my expectation. She want me to make fall for me!? What kind of joke is that, didn't she know that I'm in love with Carmela.

"W-wait, you're aware on our social standing in this school right? What are you thinking, proposing that plan on me." I said.

Her eyes was cold.

"Don't pretend. I know your true self." She said casually.

She look at me and she look mad.

I couldn't say anything, I am finding my words but it seems that I can't. I just look at her. She know my past, I think that I transferred to school that no one can recognize who I am, well expect for my friends and Aishela.

Then she pinned me on the wall.

I was cornered.

"How did you know?" I ask her.

She lower her heaf and heave a sigh. She look like she's already expecting this, before I ask her. Her expression soften.

She let go of me.

"I am cousin of Sheena Lee, remember her? As far as I know, she is the owner of that eyeglass."

Sheena Lee....

~~~~

"Jeez, you're making fun of me again Dale."

I can't really resist her alluring granny's outfit. She always wearing a long skirt ang long sleeve shirt plus she always wear a glass.

"You're so cute when you are annoyed." I said teasing her.

She is my treasure. She is. I always spending my time being deliquent before I met her. But when she appears on the street defenseless and got attack, I was furious at her.

I am mad, as if I want to kill all those guys. I was deliquent, yes I was. Past tense.

---

"Sheena, how about marrying me?"

I remember her surprise looks that time. Before prom start, I accompany her to the salon. After the make over, her already natural beauty, became more beautiful. She just wear glass everytime and didn't wear make ups, even a light one. But she is beautiful despite of that.

She stun me with her beauty, so I let that out.

She let me hold her eyeglass because she didn't have her case for eyeglass. I made her wear contact lense after all.

But during prom I lost her. I remember that me and friends have a drink that they hide. We got drunk and I fall asleep. But who have thought that when I woke up, she's already gone, not just on the venue, but on my life also.

The one who's infront of me is Aishela, who's hitting my chest."How could you be so careless."

~~~

"She's your cousin huh, the one who throw me." I said in a cold manner.

She sit at the lawn and lean on the gym's wall. She let out a sigh.

"She just disappear that day. Nobody realize that she's gone." She said.

I had enough. I plan to leave and continue my own plan. But before I take a step, she grab my hand.

Her eyes is watery.

"I miss my cousin." She said.

I take her hand off but she hold my hand again and grab it tighter. Her hand is shaking,

"I don't want to do it again."

She mumbled and I didn't hear what she said. Her looks is sad and sincere. She wants my cooperation in her plan or else it might fail.

I suddenly felt guilty, even though I didn't do anything wrong. It's not my hobby to play a game like this, but I need to do it.

"O-okay. I will go along with your plan." Sabi ko.

After I said that, she let go of my hand and wipe her tears with her handkerchief. I leave after that, and while I'm walking I remember that I didn't ask why I need to make her fall for me. Is it nit enough to just pretend that we are couple? Why make it real?

Again, I miss another important question.

~~~

After that day, I start giving her a flowers with a letters. I always follow her, as if I am a stalker. I always get her food in cafeteria. I'm wasting my time trying to impress her, and there are time that I get beat up by Maximo because of that.

One day, we talk while I'm attempting to invite her to go out on date on our free day.

"The way you approach to things are creepy."

Then I got shot.

"YOU SPOILED BRAT." And there goes my patience.

Imagine a nerd looking shouting.

"Now, that's your true nature." She said then smile.
