You know, it's really annoying when someone just comes and messes up your whole life. Yeah, well. I was just minding my own business, doing my own work. I am just an ordinary girl with a boring life. No disturbance. Just the same routine over and over again every single day. But I'm contented with life. In fact, I like it the way it was. Before he came in and ruin everything. It's always a guy isn't it? Always and always a guy! Cliche lines.
Let me start again. I was HAPPY with life. HE came in and RUIN it. I was NEVER a BORING girl. I was happy. I had a life. I had WONDERFUL friends. I had GOOD grades (and am proud of it). I had a SECRET CRUSH and I'm happy that things are just staying the way they are. You see, everything I wrote was in past tense.
Note that this is not a vampire kind of story and it's not the kind where you actually get a happy ending in the end. Because this is my story. And it's real.
Did I introduce myself yet? Well, I don't remember. But my name is Alyse Rallison. NOT ALICE! A-L-Y-S-E! And it's not even pronounced like 'Alice'! I just don't know why no one seems gets my name right! It's tiring having to correct people all the time. ALL THE TIME. And why in the first place didn't my parents give me a normal name like... Jennifer or Hannah or something normal. ALYSE!
But whatever, I don't know why I still make a big deal about my name because well, this story doesn't revolve around MY name. It revolves around he and I. Him... Aaron Rodriguez. And no, he's not related to Michelle Rodriguez. You know, that lady in "Fast and Furious" and "Avatar"?
Okay, so I was doing my work in the class and he walked in and my teacher introduced him as a new student and ya-de-ya-de-ya. And he was assigned to a seat beside me, where I'd be sitting with him for the rest of the year.
You know, I was fine with it until he opened his mouth and talked. Well, let's be clear, he didn' talk, he babbled. He introduced himself (again) and he talked about where he was from and I don't remember what else. Because I zoned out.
I really can't imagine having to sit beside him for another one minute but oh yea, reality hits hard, I sat with him for one whole year. Then, I ended up sitting beside him for the rest of my secondary school years. Ironic, really.
I didn't choose to sit beside him. We both just happen to be the kind of people who you know, can't stand being ON time. So the only place left is always beside him because nobody can stand sitting beside him. Yeap, it's that bad. I tried to make it a point to wake up early. But I just can't help it that I always give into the temptation to hit the snooze button.
I did mention I had a SECRET CRUSH right? Well... he's the most charming person ever. Smart. Tall. Handsome. Nice. Kind. Great. Strong. Handsome. Friendly. Did I mention handsome? *dreamy eyed*... he's from the next class. The Elite Class. Well... I, on the other hand, have good grades. But not good enough to enter The Elite Class. I'm in The Express Class. Second best to The Elite. But we all have assembly together and I always find myself staring dreamily at him... haaaaa... *sighs dreamily* he even have a really romantic name... Gabriel Sanchez... I know right?
I'm so love sick...
You know, I was just standing in my assembly line, and my eyes caught him. And then I knew it...... I knew it... I was stuck.
I always tried to get into The Elite Class. It's not easy you know? The competition is tight there. They are practically killing each other and themselves studying there. It's like war all the time. And it's super quiet in there. When you step into the class, it's like stepping into vacuum, except you won't feel breathless or something. Really scary.
Well, I guess I learn how to accept that my standard is The Express Class. I really hope I won't enter The Accounts Class, or The Arts Class... or even worse! The Tech Class. Where they do all the mechanics and stuff.
Gabriel and Aaron are like total opposites. Gabriel is like the Prince Charming on His White Horse and Aaron is like... you see that farmer there? Yeah, that's Aaron. Yeap, they are that different.
But sometimes, farmers are more realistic than that fairytale a.k.a My Prince Charming on His White horse which is a.k.a Gabriel Sanchez... and realistic things are things you can actually get your hands on. When I learn to settle on that. Well, that's when I really open my eyes and saw that the simplest things are the most beautiful.
That's where my story begins.

Christabella doubled in pain. She's going into labour. She woke Zephyr up and he stirred. "Hmm?"
"I... I think..."
"Huh?" Zephyr asked sleepily.
"The baby... NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Christabella screamed in pain.
Zephyr was wide awake now.
His parents came into the room and was shocked to see that Christabella was going into labour...
They quickly carried her to the car and rushed her to the hospital.
After hours of anxious waiting... Christabella gave birth to a baby boy...
------------------------------------------------
A few years later...
"Mommy! Mommy!"
"Yes, dear?" Christabella answered.
"I am 3 years old right?" John asked.
Christabella laughed, "No, you're 4!" she stretched 4 fingers.
"How long is four years?" John asked.
"Very long..." Christabella nodded.
The front door opened. "Look who's here, John!" Zephyr said.
"Daddy! Granny! Grandpa!" John squealed in delight and ran to the front door and greeted them.
"Oh, look at you dear. Still as cute as ever!" Mrs Jonathan, the senior one, said. Happily hugging him.
Zephyr gave Christabella a quick kiss.
"Eww! Daddy and mommy kissing!" John said, covering his eyes.
Everyone laughed.
-----------------------------------------------
They talked for the whole day. It's Christmas. It's not everyday they get to sit down and talk since after Christabella and Zephyr moved out.
Mr and Mrs Mitchell joined them for dinner.
"Grandma, grandpa, why are you always going for holidays?" John asked.
They both laughed, "We'll bring you wth us next time!" Mrs Mitchell said.
"Okay!" John clapped enthusiastically.
The doorbell rang.
Christabella answered the door. It was Chrysantha.
"You're late!" Christabella whispered.
"You're late Chrysantha ma!!" John said! "Where's Kelvin pa??"
"Oh! He's taking a gift from the car. It's specially for you! Oh you're so cute!" Chrysantha pinched John's cheek lightly.
Then they settled at the dining table, waiting for Kelvin.
"I have news!" Chrysantha announced.
Kelvin came in, empty handed and sat beside Chrysantha.
"So what's the news?" Christabella asked, excited.
"Where's my prezzie???" John asked.
"That can wait, dear..." Christabella said, touching John's head lightly.
Chrysantha looked up into Kelvin's eyes and smiled, "We're getting married..."
"FINALLY! After two 5 years!" Christabella said happily.
"Yay!" John clapped his hands.
"Do you know what's happening, little boy?" Mrs Jonathan, the senior one, asked.
John shook his head. Everyone laughed. Then he laughed along.
They had dinner and John got his gift. He opened his Christmas gift.
"Wow! It's a puppy!" John exclaimed and clapped his hands and laughed.
The puppy yelp and chased his tail.
"He's funny!" John said. Laughing his cute laugh.
"He sure is!" Christabella patted John's head, smiling at Zephyr who smiled back at his beloved wife...
WEINI - I Love Him Not - Chapter 19 - Graduation Surprise
First time reading this story? CLICK HERE FOR PART 1
"It's graduation day!" Christabella told Chrysantha for the 4th time today.
"Yeah, I know..." Chrysantha said, nodding. Still not taking the hint.
Christabella stared at Chrysantha and cocked her brow. Chrysantha nodded back in confusion.
"What?" Chrysantha finally asked.
"You said you wanted to tell me something," Christabella said.
"Oh! Wait... You'll know! Be patient!" Chrysantha grinned.
"Come on! I'm not the patient kind, you know that!"
Kelvin walked towards them, but he wasn't looking at Christabella, he was...
He put his arms around Chrysantha's waist and gave a quick kiss. He turned to Christabella.
"Hey, Christie..."
Christabella's jaw dropped, "Since when???"
"Since last three weeks..." Chrysantha said with a smile.
"And you didn't even tell me!?!" Christabella said disbelievingly. "How nice of a friend you are!" she said, pretending to throw a tantrum.
Chrysantha giggled. "Okay! I don't want to disturb the lovebirds! Bye!" Christabella said.
"Aloha!" Christabella greeted when she saw Zephyr.
"Yo!" Zephyr's friend, Zebra, said. Zephyr just nodded and went back to talking about sports.
"Boring!" Christabella thought. But she stayed anyway.
Chrysantha skipped over to them and said, "Let's take a picture together!"
"Okay! Awh man! Come Zephyr!" Christabella said.
"Alright... sigh!" Zephyr said boredly.
Then, Christabella suddenly felt sick.
"Are you okay?" Zephyr asked with concern.
"I think so..." Christabella said. But she felt really sick this time, "Maybe not..." she ran to the nearest drain and threw up her breakfast. Zephyr, Chrysantha and Kelvin ran to her.
"Oh my God! You're throwing up your whole breakfast! Was it that bad?" Zephyr said, patting her back.
"I don't know..." Christabella said.
"Wait..." Zephyr stepped back. "You..."
"What?"
"You're not..."
"What???!!!"
"What what?" Zephyr asked.
"What are you both what-ing about?" Chrysantha asked.
Zephyr shot Christabella a look.
Chrysantha's hand went to her mouth, "Oh my GOD! You both did IT already??? And you didn't tell me!" Chrysantha punched Christabella lightly.
"Well..." Christabella tried to explained, but her sick came up again.
Kelvin and Chrysantha looked at Zephyr. Zephyr shrugged.
-------------------------------------------------
"Congratulations! It's official! You're going to become a mother, Mrs Jonathan!" the doctor confirmed.
"Oh my God! I can't believe I'm becoming a... a father!" Zephyr exclaimed.
"I can't too..." Christabella said, and instinctively, her hands went to her belly. "I'm feeling weird..."
"First time?" the doctor asked.
"Yeah..." Zephyr replied.
"Yeah, you both look young. But you'd get used to this weird feeling..." the doctor assured.
"There's something alive in me..." Christabella talked to herself.
Zephyr touched her belly and smiled. It's time to tell their parents.

Zephyr sat at the dining table next morning. Christabella came later and sat opposite him at her usual place.
Zephyr smiled at her. Christabella just look down. Things are going to be different now...
---------------------------------------------------------
It's another day at school...
"Christabella..." Kelvin said.
"Kelvin!" Christabella said.
"I... well, it's you. I mean. I understand what you said the other day..." Kelvin said.
"Oh, that's great. That's great! I'm glad for you!" Christabella said, relieved.
"It is!" Kelvin said.
---------------------------------------------
Two years later...
Christabella came out of the bathroom. She smiled and walked over to the bed and sat down. She smiled.
Andrew looked up at smiled at her. Evelyn crawled to beside Zephyr. She looked at him and he looked back.
"I... just wanna ask about... *clears throat* erm... two years ago..." Christabella started.
"What?"
"You... me..."
"I kissed you. SO?"
"Did you mean it?" Christabella asked.
"No..."
"Oh..." she said disappointedly.
"I don't like you... I love you... Christabella..." Zephyr said...
Christabella looked up and into his eyes.
"I like your eyes since day one. It's so... beautiful..." Zephyr said.
"Really?" Christabella asked.
"Really..." Zephyr said. Leaning in closer to her... and kissed her, again.
-----------------------------------------
Dear Stupid Life,
I can't help it but tell you. I've had a wonderful night. Guess what? We did IT. You know, IT? We did the THING. I don't wanna go into details... Cause I know Chrysantha will be stucking her nosy nose in here!
P.S. Yeah! I mean YOU Chrysantha! Close the diary now!
Feeling : Really high.
Taste : Salty. His mouth tasted like peppermint.
Reaction : UNPREDICTABLE!
HE LOVES ME!!!!!! HE LOVES ME!!!!!!!!! HE LOVES ME!!!!!!!!
After that, he told me, he'll love me forever. Romantic... but I don't believe him.
Graduation in 3 weeks and counting! Can't wait!
Gotta go! He's back!
I LOVE HIM!!! I LOVE HIM!!! I LOVE HIM!! I KNOW I'M CRAZY! I'm LOVESICK!
--------------------------------------------------------
After that, they went to the lake.
Laid down on the grass side by side and watched the birds overhead and sunset. They walked back hand in hand. The moon was smiling on them.
They went back for dinner. Then hung out in the room and slept in each other's embrace with a smile on their lips.
--------------------------------------------------------
Next morning...
"Christabella! ZEPHYR!!!!" Chrysantha called out.
"Hey!" they both greeted.
"I've got a surprise for you! I'll tell you on graduation day!" Chrysantha whispered.
"Why not now?" Christabella asked curiously.
"Zip!" Chrysantha said with her hand shaped like she's zipping a zip. "It's secret till then!" she whispered.
"Okay!" Christabella shrugged. Zephyr cleared his throat. Understanding that the two of them wants to be alone, Chrysantha said, "Catch you later! Bye!"
"Bye!"
"She's still acting like a kid..." Zephyr said boredly.
"Yeah. Cute!" Christabella said.
"Uh huh..." Zephyr said. "You're better..."
Christabella smiled.

Zephyr was listening to music and reading on the bed when Christabella walked into the bedroom.
"Hey..." Christabella greeted, putting all her stuff on the floor nearby.
Silence.
"Hey!" Christabella said a bit louder this time.
Silence again.
Christbella said louder, "I SAID HEY!!!"
Zephyr said without looking up, "I heard you idiot!"
Christabella said angrily, "I'm not an idiot! You're just too dumb to hear me."
"Really?"
"You're starting it again!" Christabella snapped.
"Hmm, I did? I don't remember..." Zephyr replied, still not looking up.
"Well, I do!"
"Oh really?" Zephyr said coolly. Flipping over the pages.
"Urgh! I'd die talking to you! I can't believe I had to marry you!" Christabella said frustrated.
"I don't see you dead yet," Zephyr said.
"It was just a saying..." Christabella said. Zephyr cleared his throat. Christabella turned around and headed to the bathroom. "Idiot!" she muttered under her breath.
----------------------------------------------
After bathing, Christabella went back to the bedroom. Zephyr was still reading. Feeling better after a long bath, Christabella didn't want to spoil her mood by picking up another fight. She went to the bedand sat down. She looked at Zephyr.
Zephyr looked up, then back to his book. Christabella shifted nearer to him. Zephyr felt uncomfortable and looked up again, then back again to his book. Christabella cleared her throat.
"What in the hell do you want?" Zephyr snapped.
"I just... wanna ask... about... about... us..."
Zephy sighed and took off his earphones. "What?"
"We're married."
"I know. SO?"
"Right, that's all..."
"That's it? You disturbed me just to tell me a thing I already know?" Zephyr asked curiously.
"Yes... yeah..." Christabella said slowly.
Zephyr rolled his eyes and went back to his book.
"Get off the book, nerd!" Christabella grabbed it away from him.
"GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!! I SAID GIVE IT BACK!" Zephyr tried to reach for his book.
"NO!!! I'm not giving it back!" Christabella said trying to hold the bookout of his reach.
Zephyr pushed her and got his book back. Zephyr was on top of her. Christabella was struggling to get away. More like struggling to breathe. He was heavy.
Then Zephyr looked at Christabella and she looked back. Before they knew it, they were kissng each other. But as sudden as it started, Christabella turned away.
"No... this is not right. You don't like me," Christabella shook her head and touched her lips. She walked out of the room. Leaving Zephyr sitting there alone, still shocked with what they did.
Zephyr thought for a moment, "Who said I don't like you?"
-------------------------------------------
Oh my God! What happened? Forget it! Nothing happened! No! SOMETHING HAPPENED. No wait! Why am I having a war with myself!?!?
Christabella thought.
She stayed in the bathroom until she saw the lights in their bedroom turned off. Then she went back and laid on the bed. After awhile, she changed her mind. She walked to the sofa bed opposite the bed and laid down.
After awhile, "Christabella?"
Zephyr sat up in the bed. Then stood up and walked over to the sofa bed. He opened the cabinet beside the sofa bed, took out a blanket and covered Christabella with it.
He looked at her, then kissed her quickly on the cheeks and went back to sleep, smiling.

After school...
"Christabella?" Zephyr asked.
"Yes?" Christabella answered, turning to Zephyr.
"You know that new guy in school?" Zephyr asked carefully.
Christabella suddenly tensed up and nodded and asked, "Why?"
"Is he... good looking? You like him?" Zephyr asked.
"Why are you asking?"
"Oh... nothing just wondering..." Zephyr said.
"Oh... no. I don't like him... not that way..." Christabella said.
"Oh..." Zephyr said, feeling really relieved.
"You jealous?" Christabella asked curiously.
"No! Not at all! Just asking. Heard a lot of girls are attracted to him... you know?" Zephyr said quickly.
Christabella shrugged, "Oh well, he's quite charming actually."
"Huh? So you like him?" Zephyr asked, jealousy and confusion bleeding into his brains and heart.
"Nah, he's not my type," Christabella said, "Why?"
"Oh!" Zephyr said. "Nothing..."
But deep inside, Christabella knows that Zephyr was worried now that his competitor has come and he has to be extra careful and watch his back.
----------------------------------------------
"This is so not cool!" Chrysantha whined.
"Okay, this is twenty third time you're saying that today. Knock it off!" Christabella sighed.
"But really, it's not cool!"
"Twenty- fourth"
"Stop it!"
"You stop it!"
"Fine then! Be that way!" Chrysantha snapped.
"Oh yes, I will..." Christabella snapped back. "Come on, what's so not cool about that?"
Chrysantha turned and said, "The fact that you and Zephyr are married and here comes walking in Kelvin, who flirts with you and it's so obvious he's in it for you."
"Uh huh..."
"You get two guys. Me? Nada!"
"Actually, you have that... whatshisname?"
"Jacky. The nerdy, weirdo Jack from "The Book Club" which is so boring..." Chrysantha said.
"Breathe." Christabella said.
"Okay, and he's following me around! And it's freakin' creepy! Look!" Chrysantha said, pointing at a guy whose hair was out of place and has a lopsided grin and freckles sprinkled all overhis face. He waved at Chrysantha. Chrysantha turned back, "See what I mean???"
"Yeah, he's creepy alright!" Christabella agreed.
"Is that all you can say?" Chrysantha asked with a frown.
"Err... avoid him?" Christabella suggested.
"Argh! I AM AVOIDING HIM!" Chrysantha said angrily.
"Then you're not avoiding him enough," Christabella said distractedly.
"Urgh! Forget it! It's just so not cool!" Chrysantha concluded.
"Twenty-five."
"You're not cool too!" Chrysantha said and stalked off.
"I am?" Christaella said, "OH! That counts too! That makes twenty six!" Christabella called. But Chrysantha was already lost in the crowds.

"What? So you told Kelvin EVERYTHING?" Chrysantha said. Oh look! Her eyes are bulging out of their sockets.
"Yeah..." Christabella said coolly.
"OMIGOSH! That's really bad. I can feel it..." Chrysantha said with her eyes closed and her hands circling an imaginary crystal ball.
Christabella rolled her eyes, "Feel what?"
Chrysantha opened her eyes and put on her serious look. Then she rested her hand on Christabella's shoulder, "It's gonna get complicated." Chrysantha let out a sigh and said, "He likes you... but you're MARRIED!"
"I know! You don't have to keep reminding me on that!"
Just then, Kelvin passed by and said "Hi" to Christabella.
"You see? That just proved it! You gotta explain to Kelvin!!!" Chrysantha said.
"Maybe he was just trying to be friendly?" Christabella suggested.
"Oh yeah! By slipping you his number? It's not that simple! Like, hello??? If you both are seen together, the whole school will tear down. Okay, maybe not literally, but... oh you know what I mean! The girls will hate you, not that they don't. But they will hate you MORE! And Zephy will treat you worse than ever, ever! You've already got the hottest guy in school! You can just... just get another hottest guy in school... second... hottest guy..." Chrysantha said manically.
"I already told him I was married," Christabella pointed out.
"Tell him again!" Chrysantha said.
"Okay fine!"
---------------------------------------------
During recess, Christabella went up to Kelvin and said, "Hi... we've... got to talk..."
"Okay, sure!" Kelvin said with a shrug and a grin.
"Let's go to a quieter place..." Christabella suggested/
"Okay, where?"
"How about the library?"
"Okay!" Kelvin agreed happily.
-----------------------------------------------
"Okay, where are we supposed to sit?" Kelvin asked quietly.
"Err... there!" Christabella said. It doesn't matter anyway. The library is always empty.
"So... I'm married," she said.
"You told me that yesterday," Kelvin said.
"I just want to be friends," she explained.
"Okay, we'll start off as friends," Kelvin said
"What do you mean 'start off'? We'll just be friends and we'll stay friends forever. Nothing is going to change. Nothing is supposed to change! Nothing more!" Christabella explained.
For awhile, there was just silence. Then slowly Kelvin nodded. Then said, "Why not?" sounding a bit hurt.
"Because I'm married," she said. Her shoulders slumped.
Kelvin laughed, "So because of that you, I mea, WE cannot be more than just friends?"
The librarian cleared her throat.
"Yeah, I'm supposed to be somebody's wife! Not supposed to be seeing anyone else! That will be an affair. We're not supposed to be here together in the first place!"
She started to gather her things and was ready to leave when she felt someone tug at her hands.
"Christabella, please reconsider it, wasting and sacrificing your happiness and yourself to a guy who don't love you is stupid. It's just ridiculous!" Kelvin said.
Christabella pulled her hand away, "I'm sorry, but I only like him... I love him. And I know, I believe, I'm not doing anything stupid... he loves me too!"
She didn't know that Zephyr was at the other side of the shelves and he's heard every single word of their conversation. He smiled to himself. He won.
Christabella left the library. Kelvin sat there, not believing that he'd been rejected or what had just happened. He was determined to get her, no matter what.
Zephyr picked up a few books and casually walked to the counter to check them out. He glanced side way at Kelvin. He felt a satisfaction. He took the books and walked out of the library.
