Trouble In Paradise

TROUBLE 13

After classes, Aless approached me while I'm fixing my things. I looked up to see that he's already smiling. He sure is weird on another level.

"You going home now pasticcino?" He asked me. I nodded at him and offered his hand for me to let me stand up.

"Thank you Aless." I told him. He gave me a breathtaking smile which I returned too.

"Can I take you home pasticcino?" I was shocked that he'll offer me a ride. But then I remembered my brother. He's always the one that takes me home. How should I tell him that some boy wants to take his gummy bear home? He'll go ballistic.

"Can I not?" He asked me making me snapped from my thoughts and looked at him again. He tilted his head to the side with a confused face. Cute.

"What should I tell my brother?" I asked him but then I heard Nisha butted in our conversation. Oh I forgot that they're still here. I looked at their way to see them gathered in one place while looking at us.

Diana was giving me an evil glint. After I told her about what happened earlier, she didn't stop teasing me about it. "Just text your brother Tine. A friend of yours is going to take you home. Tsaka, sabihin mo na rin sakanya pagdating mo sainyo tungkol kay Aless." She suggested with a smile in her face.

I just sighed and get my phone in my bag and messaged my brother that someone is going to take me home and I have something to tell him at home.

From Kuya: Why can't you tell me now?

To Kuya: It's kind of complicated Kuya.

From Kuya: Okay. Get home safe okay? See you later.

I told Aless that I'm good to go and his reaction is priceless. He was so excited that he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door quickly but I stopped him before we go out. "My friends Aless." I reminded him.

He looked at my friends and back at me. "Let's go. I'm sorry I'm just excited to be with Cristy." He told them which made me blushed. "Oh, we know." Kate said while giggling.

We we're at the gate of the school and I decided to wait for my friends till their family is here to pick them up. At first they refused but Aless agreed in my suggestion and they didn't argued any more.

As usual, Danica was the last one left. I didn't mean to pry but she really looks nervous based on how she keeps on looking around like someone is watching her. I might be wrong but I'm kind of concern for her.

"Dan? Ayos ka lang? Alam mo, di naman ako nangingialam pero nung isang linggo ka pang ganyan eh. May problem ba?" I asked her and when she looked at me she had that fear in her eyes. Why was she afraid?

"Hoy. Is someone threatening you?" I asked her while holding both her shoulders. She looked stress now. I looked back at Aless and called out at him.

"Aless? Can you get our ride first? I'll stay with Danica for a while. It's important." I pleaded him and he just nodded and came close towards me and kissed my forehead before going somewhere. This guy.

I turned to looked at Danica she's already close to crying. I offered her to sit down at one of the benches and told her to calm down first. When she have calmed down, I asked her again about her problem.

"I'm really scared Cristy. At first, di ko talaga dapat sasabihin to sainyo kasi akala ko matatapos lang pero it didn't. I am being stalked Cristy." She told me. I was shocked about her confession. "Since when Danica?" I asked her curiously.
