Dark Secrets

C1. The One Who Lies

-----------x

“There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.” 

Clexane's POV

I walked inside the school building with books in my arm. Welcome to Remidez University. It’s been 3 years now since I’m in this high school. Yes, tama kayo. I’m 16 years old this year.

“Ya, Clexane!!” someone shouted. Napalingon ako kung sino ang tumawag sa'kin.

“Oh~ hey Nathan oppa! Hey Alexander oppa!” I waved with a cute smile on my face. Alexander grabbed my bag off my shoulder and carried it on his.

“Eeehhh!!! Why you took my bag?!” I asked Alexander who was smiling happily. Just call him Alex for short.

“Didn’t he always carry your bag?” Nathan snorted.

I poked Nathan with my elbow, teasingly. “You’re jealous right?” Nathan laughed: An obvious fake laugh. “Hyung, you’re not a great actor,so please… just keep it.” Alex said as he linked his arm with Nathan and continued to walk to our class.

Nathan Axel Sy is my best friend. He’s 1 month older than me. We’ve been friend since we were 14. He’s so cool, sexy and smart. Well, easy to say, he’s my ideal guy. And same goes to Alexander Jake Seville or better known as Alex. His 8 months older than me.  He’s the total opposite of Nathan. He’s so cute, caring, loving friendly and so irresistible.

Oh, another thing. The reason why Alex called Nathan ‘hyung’ was because, since Alex is cuter and looked younger people will think that he’s younger than Nathan. So, he took the opportunity and called Nathan as hyung. Nathan was fine with it since he like to be the oldest. He also said that he looked even matured. They’ve been ‘exchanging calling’ since we were officially BFF's.

 “Oh you guys. I’m not a jealous type. I’m Clexane's guardian. Forever and always~” he winked at me. I stuck out my tongue at him. “Okay then!! Alex is my boyfriend! XD” I hugged Alex’s arm like a 10 years old kid. “Alex, you know that it just fake, right?” Nathan reminded Alex.

 “Yeeaah.” he smiled as he put down my bag on the table and sat at the other seat which was beside me, on my right. “Gomawo Alexieee~” I said with an aegyo voice and sat down on the chair. “That just sounds sooo wrong…” Nathan rolled his eyes.

I heard rumors that they both liked me. The meaning of like here is like as love. Not that like as a friend. But to my point of view, they just were being extra nice to a dongsaeng. Which was referring to me. Nathan and Alex always there for me in no matter what the condition was. When I’m happy, I’m sad, I’m excited even if I was mad. Lol!

Since it’s a boarding school, most of my social life I spent with them. We made a lot of memories in this high school. That’s why I always considered them as my besties, not boyfies.

 No one's POV

Everyone was busy with their books, studying all their might. The reason was because the teacher said so. Clexane, Nathan and Alexander were walking down the stairs with textbooks and notebooks in their arm. “Nathan oppa, should we just learn at my dorm? Kheil is out with her boyfriend.” She told them.

“But what if your dorm leader knows and kicks us out. And worst, she’ll tell the teach---“

“Don’t worry Alex. She’s Nathan's secret admirer. She’ll be absolutely delightful to see him.” she cut Alex off before he could finish. Alex and Clexane both turned to Nathan for some reason. He was smiling, ear to ear, like a joker. “Oh puh—leeze.” Alex said, annoyed.
