CHAPTER 16

Eljin's POV

"Umm... Eljin, can I ask you a favor?" Bryant Skittles was crying when he approached me the following day.

"Umm.. what Bryant?" I asked.

"Can you be my girlfriend?" He asked.

"What the heck!?!" I screamed and slapped his cheek. Everyone looked at me.

"Shhh!" He shushed as another tear fell from his eye. "Jane Wright has an obsession with me!"

What's up with this Jane Wright?

"She... is a witch!" He sobbed.

I really felt sorry for Bryant. He is a loner... an outcast. He has no friends to talk to and he's always just by himself.But me as his girlfriend? That's another story.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I nervously asked.

He nodded, "Yeah... just pretend so that Jane Wright will not bother me."

"Fine. But in one condition." I threatened him.

"What?" His eyes grew bigger.

"You must treat me whatever I want." I smiled evilly. "Don't worry, I won't abuse and if you fail to treat me, I won't be your pretend girlfriend anymore."

"Fine. I'll do it." He took deep breath, held his I.D. strap and pulled it downwards and slowly walked away.

This is his trademark of walking.

What did I just say? Did I just volunteer to be his girlfriend. Am I insane?!? Oh no...

What have got myself into?!? Fudge! At least, there will be free food day by day.

That afternoon, at the high school park

Thr news got around quickly that Bryant and I are dating.

"Really, Eljin? Bryant Skittles? The Bryant Skittles?!?" Alexia scolded.

Alexia and Bianca still couldn't believe what I did.

"Eljin, we are your friends...but dating Bryant Skittles... is an insane decision!" Bianca bolted.

"Well, I really felt sorry for him." I replied.

"No one feels sorry for him." Alexia explained. "He is a weirdo!"

"Yeah... he has crazy obsession with nutella." Bianca said.

"Uhuh. Kuh-ray-zy." Alexia clarified.

"Oh.. look your boyfriend's coming." Bianca sarcastically announced.

"Hey, Eljin." Bryant Skittles waved at me and I waved back. Alexia and Bianca just ignored him. "Thank you so much for your help!"

"Welcome." I smiled as he cheerfully walked away.

"So, tell me more about this Jane Wright." I asked Alexia and Bianca as Bryant walked away.

"She's a bully. She always pull people down... and when I say down.

. way way down." Alexia explained.

"She may wear pink sparkly clothes with little hearts on 'em but the truth is, she doesn't even have a heart." Bianca clarified.

"And oh! One time rumour has it that she had a gun hidden in her Gucci bag." Alexia added.

"How'd you guys know all this stuff?" I asked.

"Well... we have connections." Alexia winked.

"Anyway, what happened with you and Yu?" Bianca asked me.

"Me and me?"

"No, you and Alab!" She smirked.

"Oh nothing." I whispered.

"Come on, spill!" Alexia pleaded.

"Well, I just found out that he and Denrose are dating. That sucks." I told them.

"Huh? But they broke up the night of Eric Halls concert." Bianca said.

"Yeah... because Denrose was so frustrated when she found out that Alab secretly asked for Jeric's autograph to be given to another girl." Alexia said.

"Oh no! That autograph's for me! They broke up because of me?!?" I panicked as they both stared at me in shock.

"Oh no... the Mean Girllys are coming towards us." Alexia whispered.

"Well, hello, Danford." Denrose greeted in a mean way while her fellow Mean Girllys are behind her with their arms crossed.

"Hey."

"So, did you get the autograph?" She asked.

"No. I don't want it anymore."

"Nice of you to destroy our relationship."

"If you really are a loyal girlfriend, you should trust him." I said.

"I don't need your love advice."

"Look, Yu is just... my... f-friend." I told her. Oh how I hate that F word. "He is just doing me a favor."

So there I was, explaining to Denrose everything and that it was all a huge misunderstanding. It's a good thing that she still have a soft heart.

"It's fine." Denrose said. "I forgive you. But Alab and I already broke up. What's done is done. I guess I'm still not ready for a relationship. I mean, in the end, I would still marry Eric Halls in the end." She dreamily said.
