My One And Only

Chapter IV: ALEX

Alex POV
I am walking down the hallway with my friends to go to cafeteria to buy some refreshment when I saw Rex walking in a distance. I remember the upcoming party. I wonder if he had already a suit for the party. If not, then we could go shopping together, so we'll be suit together in the party. I asked the girls to go ahead as I need to do something important. So I run towards Rex's direction.

Hey, Rex! I said then I hugged him.

I looked up to him and asked if he had already a suit, so we could shop together, but he's not listening to me. He's looking to the departing vehicle.

Hey, Rex! Are you listening to me? I asked him.

Who are you looking at? I asked again.

Ah... it's nothing important, Alex. What is it again you're saying? He said.

I asked you if you have already a suit for our party. I said.

Then he started walking back and I decided to walk along with him.

I don't have yet. Why did you ask? He said.

I run in front of him saying: Well, maybe if you would like to go on shopping with me this weekend. I said to him.

I'm really looking forward for him to agree. If he says yes, I can already imagine how happy we could be while going shopping together. We could be like a real couple. But if not, then I will be persistent until he'll agree. I'm sure he can't resist with my charm.

However, he just walks through me and said: Thanks for the invitation but I'm not interested. You can invite the president instead of me. I'm sure he'll be more honored to come with you. He said while smirking. Then he walks away.

I'm really confused by him. Am I being rejected? Is my charm is not working to him? Is he threatened to that jerk? Am I right?

I still did walk with him and said: You know that I don't want to go with him.

He's not answering me. Why? Did he not really like me? His confusing me.

Why don't you like to go with me? I asked him.

But he didn't answer me, instead he had just continue walking.

This is too much. Too much for me to handle. No one had ever rejected me before! I said to myself.

I... I don't understand. Some times you are cold and rude. Also, there are times that you are warm and sweet to me. I'm really confused about you Rex. I asked him.

What's wrong with me that you can't like me? She asked again.

He still did not answer me. Then I started to cry and run like a crying fool. That jerk! How dare him to reject me! I should be the one whose rejecting people. Not me! He's too much! I shouted to myself. I went to the rooftop of our building and cry like a baby.

Take this. A familiar voice said.

So I looked up and see Stanley offering his handkerchief to me.

Come on, your mascara is already all over your face. You're like a crying baby. He said.

This jerk. Why is he here? I said to myself while I'm looking to him.

I came here because I saw you earlier running while crying like a baby. He said.

This jerk might be the reason why Rex don't like me. I said to myself.
