My Chinese Girlfriend

High School Friend

Chrissy was on her way home when she texted Alessandro and she expected him not to reply. She was used to Carlos' rude behavior when she texted him so she wasn't getting her hopes up for nothing. She was close to her home and she's just a street away from her home. She needed to get home early since she had a strict upbringing. She was her dad's favorite while her mom doted on EJ.

Upon arriving home, she saw her dad in the dining room eating snacks. She hugged her dad.

"Dad, I have PE practice tomorrow. My friends are coming over."

"Do we need to prepare lunch?"

"The practice is around 2pm. Maybe we can prepare light snacks."

"I'll tell your mom later when she gets home."

She heard a loud ringing sound from her cellphone since she just turned the silent mode off. It was a reply from Alessandro.

"Who texted you?"

"It's just a classmate."

It was nice meeting you. What are you doing?

She couldn't contain her excitement. She was getting attention from someone she had a crush on.

I just arrived home. What are your hobbies?

They were texting until 9pm and she texted him goodnight since she had practice tomorrow. She was excited to text him tomorrow. It was the first time she was  this excited to text someone. Unknowingly, trouble lies head for both of them.

There were two guys she texted when she was in high school but it didn't really had a big impact to her. Tomorrow she was meeting Jake for PE practice. They needed to rehearse their folk dance and she has a group. Jake is also part of her group. He is her highschool friend's ex boyfriend and both of them were friends. She considered him as a close friend.

Chrissy woke up early around 6am and she knew that it was because she couldn't wait to text Alessandro. It brought a smile to her face and she couldn't shake this bad feeling that something would happen in the future that would cost her pain.

She turned on her phone and texted Alessandro.

Good morning, Sandro.

Good morning, Christina.

What are your plans later?

I'm meeting my friends later. They will be practicing at my house for PE.

She didn't receive a reply so she texted again.

I'm sorry.

They texted back and forth while she was having lunch with her family. Her dad noticed that she was texting during lunch.

"Who are you texting?"

"It's my classmates."

"Don't text during meals or I'll confiscate your phone."

"Ok, dad."

"As I was telling you earlier, honey. We need to buy more PUJ units that has new year models." dad talked to my mom.

My dad kept talking about business. EJ and I didn't interrupt their conversation. Both of them always talked about business all day long. She and Alessandro could relate to each other since both of their parents has a business and rarely had time for them. Both of them had maids at home since their parents rarely had a time off and because they could afford maids.
