Mico’s Pov continues:
She rose her hand to my face and touched my mask.
“Doesn’t it make you feel uncomfortable?” She asked and I shook my head.
“It’s just like wearing sunglasses” I replied and she nodded with a smile.
She kept touching the mask and I tried bringing her hand down but mistakenly, I hit her chest – boobs- and she released a light gasp.
“Oh, I’m… I’m sorry. I… didn’t mean to” I apologised immediately and she bent her head and blushed in a smile.
She seemed okay with it.
“Uhm… Mico, could I have a shot with you, please?” She asked.
“Yes. Sure” I replied and she brought out her phone immediately and wrapped her hand around my shoulders.
We placed our heads together and then I held her waist and she took the selfie.
“Thank you!” She said happily and started operating her phone.
Well, I guess she was uploading the picture online.
Hm. Funny girl.
We were still standing together when you a call finally came into one of my phones from a strange number.
I picked it after a little reluctancy and a loud voice came from other line that I had almost gone deaf.
“Nigel!!!” The called screamed and I removed the phone from my ear for a short time before putting it back again.
Oh, it was Alyssa.
Alexa stared at me inquisitively and I excused myself and walked away into the house to receive the call.
“Hey wats up?”I asked as I sat on the bed.
I already had a hint on why she was calling.
“Oh my God Nigel you won’t believe it. I just got a free admission into Mico High school” she replied cheerfully and screamed again.
Oh, God! My ear.
She didn’t even Introduce herself, as if she was expecting me to just recognise her.
“Really? Wow! Congrats” I replied, trying as much as possible to sound surprised.
“oh my God Nigel, I don’t even know what to do. I can’t believe ill be going to Mico High. I’ll be close to Mico!”
She paused and laughed again.
“Oh Nigel, I can’t explain how happy I am. I also got free uniforms, books, shoes, everything! And they’re so beautiful. How did I get so lucky Nigel?
“ill finally be able to see Mico again. I’ll be going to the best school in manilla. Isn’t that incredible?
“But I’m still a little worried you know. I’ll be the only student on free admission over there, meaning I’m probably the only commoner they’re going to be having. What if they bully me? Or don’t want to associate with me? And how will I be able to walk among them? How did I even get a free admission in there?
“God! What am I even saying? Going to Mico High is the best thing that’s happened to me and I shouldn’t ruin it with negative thoughts. If anyone tries to bully me, I’ll definitely smack the person in the face. I’m going to let them know in there to stay for real”.
She pauses and laughed again and I just kept smiling.
Gosh, she talks too much.
“Seriously Nigel, I’m so happy” she continued. “This is a dream come true for me…”
What is talkative.
She doesn’t care if you’re saying anything or not, just as long as you’re listening.
“I’m happy for you” I said when she finally gave me the chance to speak up.
“Of course you should be” she said and giggled.
“I need to catch some sleep now. You know I’ll be going to Mico High tomorrow and it’s going to be fabulous. I wonder how it’s going to be.
“Why don’t you come around tomorrow so I can tell you all about it?” She asked and I hesitated on a reply.
Going out without my mask again?
“Nigel?” She called.
“Uhm… I’ll see if I’d be chanced” I told her and she chuckled.
“Okay the. Bye”.
“W… wait” I told her just before she’d hung up.
“Yes?” She asked.
“Uhm… by the way, Mico’s sorry for what he did” I said levelly and I guess she must have been surprised.
“Mico?” She repeated. “What makes you think so?”
“Well, I… I guess he had no idea you were this lovely” I replied, smiling crazily.
“Oh… well, maybe he is. But if he really is, then he should apologise to me himself” she stated and laughed, knowing it was crazy and impossible.
“Really? You want him to apologise to you?” I asked, also chuckling.
“Well, yes. He has to. But I’m sure that dumb, arrogant, pesky head of his wouldn’t let him do so”.
Whaaaat!
Did she just say all that about me?
“Anyway, bye. See you tomorrow” she added and ended the call.
I looked at the phone and laughed.
Dumb? Arrogant? Pesky? Me? Mico Salvatore?
Mum needs to hear of this.
I leaned on the wall and laughed again.
Alexa’s Pov:
I stood by the door, listening to Mico’s conversation on the phone. I was startled.
Who the hell was he talking to like that? And why was he laughing?
He seemed so happy.
He had left me all alone in the garden just to receive the call.
Who could the caller be?
Alyssa’s Pov:
I ended the call and threw myself on the bed. I was so happy.
I looked beside me on the bed and stared at my neatly arranged uniform. My shoes and stockings were neatly kept on the floor and my books were already in my classic school bag.
Everything was so beautiful and looked quite expensive. Who could this secret helper be?
I sprawled my arms and legs on the bed smiling and dozed off. But I had a dream; somewhat like a trance.
I saw myself walking towards Mico High school. The gates were open, but as I drew near, it suddenly closed up.
I tried opening it but the gate seemed to be retreating and I couldn’t touch it.
I started running towards it and the faster I ran, the faster the gate kept drawing back and I couldn’t get it.
I opened my eyes immediately and discovered it was a dream. It seemed so real.
Well, thank goodness it was a dream. It should probably be the work of my jealous enemies.
Nothing can stop me from going to Mico High. I have a feeling I’ll run into a lot of luck over there.
So, from tomorrow, I’ll be a student of Mico High School – the best school in the city – filled with children of great and wealthy people.
