PURSUIT OF DESTINY (OnGoing)

Pursuit of Destiny - Please Naddie

Alexis' POV

He's persistent to talk to me even if I already tried many times to shove him away. When I saw him at the library that day, I was so surprised. I knew that he was looking for me. He approached me and talked to me. "I want to make friends with you, N-Naddie", he said shyly yet I could see the sincerity in his eyes even though its covered with thick glasses.

When I heard of that, I kinda laugh and said to him, "What made you think I want the same for you, if I must remind you mister, I already told you to stay away far from me. Are you kidding me, again?"

"I insist, I really want to be your friend. I will do whatever you want as long as you'll agree to be friends with me. Please Naddie", he said. I agreed at the end just to stop his whining.

So his name is Jairo Lustre. He's not my type, though. As I've said before, i don' t like his style. I also promised myself not to fall in love with anyone. If I would, it'll only be for fun. But a friend wouldn't hurt. I guess.

Since then, we are always together. We often meet at the library where we would do our projects and assignments together. It isn't that bad actually to be friends of him. He cracks jokes and I would laugh so loud in turn. For a long time, I felt the happiness that I deserve. I felt the belongingness I once searched for. I felt complete.

"I can't believe you know how to laugh", he said to me one time. I gave him a light poke on his head.

"You're so full of yourself Mushroom-Head! Hahaha.", I said while laughing.

I admit that I can be sadist or atrocious most of the time. Live with it.
It has been a habit poking him like that. He wouldn't complain, that's maybe the reason why I'm sticking around with him. He makes me laugh and I got to have a human punching bag. That's a bonus. I never thought that we will be friends since we have an opposite character. Well, in chemistry, Opposite always attracts. Do you believe that? Because I do.

It's Friday, today! I'm a bit excited. I signed to one of the University Club, the Dance Club, because I'm into dancing and todays going to be the audition. They'll going to choose some who will going to take part of the theatrical play for the School's Foundation Day that will push through next week.

I did my usual routine in the morning and I ate my breakfast that my maid has cooked. A milk, a scrambled egg and a bread would do just great for my body every morning. It gives me the energy that I need.

After that, I readied for school.

When I reached the gate, I saw Jasmine and Jaye talking to one another. I walked to them and they stopped conversing when they saw me. "What are they talking about?", I asked myself.

"Hello Naddie, you're early", Jasmine told me.

"Why? Do you have any problem with that?", I asked bluntly.

"N-Naddie!", said Jaye trying to stop me.

"What?", I said to Jaye, eyeing him.

"I was just asking, Nadz. I don't mean anything about it.", said jasmine. The nerve of this girl.

"Are you coming with me or not?, I turned to him.

"Naddie, the thing is I need to go somewhere, uhm, I'll just see you at the library. Ok?", he said. I know he's lying. Is he going somewhere with that pretender? I don't care. I gave him a sharp look and then I walked away. I know he's going somewhere with that Jasmine girl.

Now I'm alone. I dont know why the thought of them together makes me uncomfortable. I don't like the girl. And to think that she's just faking to be nice to Jairo makes me angry even more. She's fake. Everything about her is fake. The thought of them won't leave my head.
