Strawberry Sweetheart

Shae Elise Ernesto dislike strawberries, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly why.

Maybe how the seeds stuck between her teeth? how the red juice stained her tongue and lips? Or perhaps she just found their sweet flavor overwhelming and cloying in the way only she could.

So naturally, when she met Berryshee Alfonso, the irony of his name was not lost on her. He just seems different than those guys she met and that pique her curiosity. Behind his innocent facade there was a sweetness that left a strange aftertaste in her heart.

A boy who seems to embody the essence of strawberry.

Maybe he isn't bad at all?
