Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7 - Fever

"Why are you here, my dear Besh??" Aya asked me when I entered their house.

"Sleep over. I said goodbye to Mama," I told her then I walked up to her room. I feel at home here. Her mother is almost my second mother.

Hahahaha!

"I used to almost drag you to sleep here and now? What??" That girl's skin is really beautiful.

"Can you wait for me to come up before you tease me??"

"Roger that, ma'am," then she opened the door to her room.

Do you know why I don't want to sleep here, at Aya's place?? Anyway, her room looks like a cult's room!! I know Aya is a bit boyish and doesn't like girly stuff like me but come on! She has a voodoo doll in the room!! what is she, a Witch?!! If I wasn't really shocked by what I saw earlier, I would never sleep here!! It's like I'm having a nightmare!!

I sat on the side of her bed but first I removed the voodoo doll.

"Don't throw stuffs!!" Aya shouted.

"I'm sorry. It's so creepy!!"

"Creepy your face. It's better than your room full of Sheen's pictures!!"

"At least the one on my wall is human!! What about yours? It's all voodoo dolls! Are you a witch??"

She hit me, "I didn't say that. I'm just cute okay? I don't know how to bewitch anyone — though I wish I could, just so I could charm those overly artistic cheerleaders at school. Ugh it's so annoying," she said.

By the way, Aya is allergic to people who are too artistic, especially those who talk stupidly. Even those who cry. Poor Sheen my loves eh.. Aya always yells at him. But crying for love is totally valid.

"I wonder why you're here??"

I'm still hesitating if I should tell Aya because she's a bit of a gossip like me, but what choice do I have? I don't have any other friends besides her and Sheen. I'm the loner!! Is it my fault that I look so bad that not many people want to be friends with me??

"I saw Dr. Ake and Aunt Katrina kissing," I said quickly.

"What?!! Really??" She said.

I told you! No matter how fast I speak, as long as it's a gossip, it won't get escaped Aya's radar.

Hahaha!!

"Yes.. I saw it earlier.."

"Great! I knew it!! That Katrina is a pedo!!"

"Pedo! It's a bit much, Aunt Katrina is still young, she looks like she's only 20.."

She is so beautiful. No wonder Drake liked her. Besides, Tita Katrina looks young and kind. She really looks like an angel!!

I swear!!

"I don't care if she's 20 or 15 or 10, as long as I know, she's a two timer! And I hate her!!" She said.

Because you know, Aya already had a boyfriend who cheated on her before. Look at the effect on her? It is weird. And she's is mad at the two timer.

"What are you going to do now? As if you can do anything," I said.

"I can do something. Hah! Just wait and see, Alys Zyril Perez."

Leshe. What did I get into? I'm nervous about what Aya says!!

[The next day..]

AYA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Hey," I called to Sheen.

He looked to his left and right then he pointed to himself. I don't understand why Alys like this man.

Cry now, it's still slow. Tss.

"Yes, you! Is there anyone else around? Tss," I said.

"Sorry.." he said.

"Why are you apologizing? Apologize when you do something wrong"

"Sor-- it's nothing. Hehe," he said with a hand on his neck. Really weird. Why did you become Student Council President?? "Why did you call me?" He asked.

"I need something from you," I told him.

"Oh?" He asked in shock.

"What's surprising about what I said? Tss," I said.

"Nothing. We don't talk without Alys," he said.

Yes, we don't talk without Alys. Why am I going to talk to the one who is crying, right??

"I know. I need your help, Mr. President," I told him.

Wow! You're so bright, Aya!!

SHEEN'S POINT OF VIEW

"Miss Gonzales, I need an excuse letter for Mr. Drake Palma and Ms. Alys Perez," I said to our High School secretary.

"For what?"

"Uh-eh, for the program, Miss Gonzales. Right! For the program. Hehe. I have to do mechanics in one of the contests," I explained.

"Okay. Just a moment," she said then took out an excuse letter and signed it.

I took the letter and handed it to Aya, "oh."

"Okay. Thank you, CB. I'll do it again," She said as she left.

Hahaha! Why is it that when I see Aya, I fold? Because she's scary. Still called me a CB, short for cry baby. Tss, I won't cry from now on! Aish! What did I get myself into?! Aya and I became partners in crime in no time.

Kei might be jealous of this. Thank you!

AYA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Ma'am, this was given by the year level coordinator," I handed the letter to our teacher.

"Mr. Palma and Ms. Perez, go to the SC room," she said after reading.

Alys and Drake stood up. Miraculously, Drake wasn't asleep. What are you doing?!

Hahahaha!

They went out and I asked, "Ma'am, can I go to the comfort room?"

"You just finished your break. Go and sit down,"

Tss It's annoying!! How will I lock those two??

To: CB 😭

Message: Change of plan! You lock the two of them in. I will kick you if you don't!!

Message sent.

It's fine. Our boring life will be thrilling!

Hahahaha!

ALYS' POINT OF VIEW

We are now in the Student Council room. What are we going to do here? There seems to be no one here.

Thank you!

The one with me, sitting on the side. I don't want to talk to him. Their kissing scene from yesterday is still fresh in my memory.

I entered another room there. The SC room is pretty big. They are spoiled!! They have their own fridge here as well as flat screen and couch. SC room looks like a condo!!

When I saw no one, I was about to go out but the door was locked!!

"Are you serious?!"

I tried to open the door but it was really closed!! I looked at my companion but he was just crouching there. I approached him and then I touched him,

"Psst, Drake.. Psst," I said.

He ignored me. Haa. I looked in my pocket for my cellphone but it was in my bag.

I approached Drake again because I needed to borrow his phone. I won't come near if I don't have to!! He looked scary, I promise!

"Drake, uhm, where's your phone?"

He didn't answer so I sat down and stared at him. I thought he was sleeping. Tss But why is he so sweating? Does the SC room have AC?

"Uhm, are you okay? Oh," then I reached for my handkerchief.

He didn't take it, "hey, are you still alive??"

He still didn't pay attention to me so I touched his forehead, "Come on!! You're running a fever!!"

What to do? What to do?? I'm not used to taking care of someone with a fever!!

Calm down, Alys. What does mommy do when daddy has a fever? First, he wipes.

Okay, I went to the kitchen to heat water. Don't be surprised, this SC room is really a condo!

Hahahaha!

After I heated the water, I went to Drake and then wiped him. But because.. his polo shirt and coat are already wet..

He should be the one to undress himself but... Oh noes!! He might think, I'm crazy!!

But his illness might get worse.. even pneumonia..

Go, Alys!! You can do it, girl!!

And since Drake was asleep, I took a peek and undressed him. Just the Coat!! Don't be green!! Then I opened his polo shirt.

1st button.. checked.

2nd, 3rd, 4th button.. checked.

Gulp!

5th and 6th button.. checked.

HOLY SHIZZLES!! WHY DOES HE HAS ABS?!!!

He's Only 17!!!

I slowly wiped his a-ab-tyan!! Yes, his stomach!! I don't want to look. Mommy said, prevention is better than cure!! I will avoid it as long as I can!!

After I wiped him, I went to the kitchen and cooked soup. It's only instant so it's just keri. Then I also looked for their medicine kit.

I returned to the couch where he was lying. I'll just wake him up later, the soup is still hot, maybe he'll get burned and then he'll look at me evilly.

Hmm. That man is handsome. But why is he confused?? Yes, his eyelashes are long, his eyes are narrow, his nose is piercing, his lips are red.. but he is grumpy!! Ugly core!! Why do women like grumpy men?? What is it with grumpy men and messing them up?? Don't they like friendly people like Sheen my loves?? Sheen is more handsome!! Does Sheen have abs too?? Ooooo Eeek! I feel giddy!!

I think Sungit was a bit confused.

He sat on the couch. His polo shirt is still open. Don't look in his face, Alys!! Don't look, look everywhere!!

"Ehem, uhm, I cooked soup," I said while looking away, "there's also medicine and water."

He was quiet then he ate the soup and medicine. When he was about to finish, I heard the door click so I came closer.

"Yes!!" The door is open! Yahoo! I'm a free human again!!

I guess Drake noticed that the door was open so he stood up. He is walking towards me!! His polo shirt was still open and his coat was slung over his shoulder.

W-why does he look so hot???

"Thank you," he said as he walked away. It's faint but enough for me to hear.

What's going on?!!!
