The Girlfriend

"Den said he's busy with his teammates preparing for the upcoming basketball tournament game for this season and guess what? He was one of the chosen members of Team A. You know, their team's the busiest." Alena responded nonchalantly.

"I hope he's not messing with you. If I find that he's cheating on you, he'll get to taste my super, duper juice mixed with various animal saliva." Kate announced her desire to kill the guy if he ever did that to her best friend.

Alena smiled quietly as if realizing something that happened due to her best friend's remark.

"Girl, I still don't understand why you chose him out of all your suitors. See these guys here in the cafeteria? They are all looking at you. But… Sigh! What can I say? I can not force you who to love and not love." Kate reminded her as if she's the most treasured woman who deserve the best guy in the world.

"Thank you Kate! But I am fine, he's the least annoying guy out of all. So that's why I chose him." Alena replied.

Since Den was an active athlete, he rarely meets with Alena. There are times that Den had to cancel their dates the last minute due to some surprise practices which is understandable since that was all part of their body conditioning training. Being ready at all times.

"So you don't love him?" she suddenly asked.

Alena contemplating what to say, did not reply to her friend's question instantly and just throw her honest answer. "Well, honestly, I do like him but…"

"But what?" Kate interrupted Alena and she suddenly became enthusiastic about the next words her friend will utter. Kate's questioning gaze was interrupted by Alena's sudden grabbing on her wrist and they run quickly to a corner of the cafeteria hiding.

"Alena, what's…?" Her hands covered Kate's mouth to silence her for a while. Alena put her pointy finger in front of her lips then pointed to the guys outside walking outside the cafeteria.

Den was wearing a red jersey shirt and pants. Donning a redhead and handsome face, broad shoulders and white skin. He and his teammates were passing by the cafeteria sidewalk happily chatting after their morning training session.

Athlete Boy No. 1: "Dude, come with us to Bar Circle tonight. Let's have a celebration."

Den: "Dude I'm out. I am not interested."

Athlete Boy No. 2: "Just stay with us for an hour. Don't leave us out on this."

Den: "Dude I really can't. I have to meet Alena later."

Athlete Boy No. 2: "Alena? The Reigning Queen of Suthelan University, Alena Montage?"

Den: "Yes."

Athletic Boy No. 1: "Dude, are you serious? How can you even meet her? Dude we can't even take a slight sight of her hair."

Den: "She's my girlfriend."

Everyone was dumbfounded...….
