(Ayls Prov)
I've been banging my head for a while. Why am I not smart?!
"Aaah!! That's annoying!!"
I was trying to pull my head back when suddenly someone grabbed my hand. I didn't need to look because I already knew who it was. I only know one person who has held my hand like this, Tripp Marco Palma. When he holds my hand, it feels really different. Do I always feel safe? That's the feeling when I'm with Tripp but when I'm with Drake, there's an adventure. Which is better? When you're safe, or you always risk being attacked?
"That's enough," he said and removed my hand from my head. He sat down next to me, looked at me carefully, and then sighed. "You're abusing yourself, Alys. You and Drake just broke up, he didn't die."
My lips were still trembling a little as I looked at Tripp. I knew he was right. Drake didn't die, but if I cried, you'd think it was forever bye bye. But is it more painful? When you know he's just there somewhere but he doesn't come to you even though he knows you're hurting?
"I still love him, huh..." I whispered.
He squatted in front of me then held both of my hands that were in my lap. "I know. But the world doesn't stop spinning, Alys. Maybe Drake had a reason to leave you, but for now, don't ruin your life because of him. You're still young, you'll meet many more people."
"But I don't want anyone else. I only want Drake."
He smiled at me. "I know too. What did Drake say to you before he left?"
I tried to remember what Drake said. Make me proud? I hope I can! I hope it's true what is said in the movies that once a woman is hurt, she automatically becomes smart, beautiful, and combative. But it's not like that in real life. If I leave you, it's either you'll be ugly like me, or you'll improve. But either way, that's your choice. You are the one who will make the effort to make that happen...
"Make him proud daw..."
He stood up and patted my head. "Make him proud, eh. How are you?"
I bowed to the table. "It's not easy. It's hard to study!!" I complain. It's true! I won't magically grow brain cells because he broke up with me! Drake's reason is really a bit weird. :(
Tripp laughed again. There are his dimples again, annoying!!
"Come on, let's go for a walk first, do you want?"
Tripp and I went to central park. Nothing, we just walked around and ate bagels and corndogs from street vendors. It's delicious huhuhu. Because I don't eat much anymore, I'm losing my appetite. Even with strawberries I lost time. :(
"I want more. TA T"
"The vendor is gone," Tripp said.
I sat on the floor. "I want more bagels."
"Aish. No more."
"I want a bagel."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Cook me a bagel."
Even against Tripp's guts, he cooked me a bagel. Ahehehe. Good thing Tofer wasn't in the apartment. He always just bullies me. :( One day because I told him he was gay, did he kiss me on the cheeks!! That ugly guy is really annoying!! Grrr!
"It's my first time to cook. Don't complain if it's not good."
I'm hungry I will eat anything.
I first took Tripp's cellphone and put it inside. Aha! A stalker!! Why do I have a picture here!! While she was busy cooking (her cutie pie is because she is wearing an apron. Hehehe), I took her phone.
There is nothing strange except for my stolen pictures and my texts that are not deleted. Marco has a really strong crush on me!
I saw Drake's number. I tried to stop myself from texting him. don't Alys. You've had to text him before, haven't you? He didn't reply. That's right, please.
I scrolled down.
Just scroll down scroll down.
Aish! Who am I kidding?!
To: Drake
Aren't you going to ask Alys?
There. Sent.
"I'm almost done," Tripp said. I was a little nervous and deleted the message because he might read it.
"Ah. Eh. Hehe. Alright, I'm hungry," I just said.
5 minutes passed, 10 minutes... Drake didn't reply. Maybe he doesn't really love me anymore, right?
I cried again when Tripp served the bagel.
"Oh, why are you crying again?"
I wiped my tears. "No. I'm really hungry," I said and reached for the food even though I knew it was still hot. "Awwww." The pain! I'm still burnt!
Tripp quickly took toothpaste.
"Are you going to brush my teeth?!" I said even though my lips were still a bit ouch. Ouch!!
He tapped my forehead. "Crazy. Does it hurt?" he said while staring at my lips.
NOOOOOO!!
"Is it here?" he said while pointing to the side part of my lips.
"N-no," I said. I'm a little lost. I pointed to the one in the middle. "D-here."
Tripp slowly took toothpaste and smeared it on my lips. Terrible! It feels like a horse race in my chest right now!!
"That's it. It will go away later," he said with a smile.
I don't want to ask but I'm really curious!
"Ah, what... There's no malice, huh?" He nodded. "What's wrong... uhm, have you had your first kiss yet?"
Tripp was stunned by me.
"Don't even answer!" I said then I stood up and started walking away from him. Brrr. It's already cold, I still feel chills from his staring effect earlier!
I started walking when he suddenly grabbed my arm and then hugged me from behind.
His head rested on my shoulder. Shet.
No.
"First kiss? Nothing yet, eh. I'm waiting for the girl who will make my heart beat. It's corny but that's the way it is. The girl I'm waiting for, loves someone else. So I hope that when she forgets about my old cousin, she'll notice me. That there is a Tripp Marco Palma who loves her."
I wanted to go over to thank him but...
"Why you?
hug?
PORN!!!
I WILL SUE YOU UNCLE!!"
Tofer.
