My Ideal Guy (Cambridge Academy Series 2)

Chapter 1: Fate

Kyla's.

After that unbelievable encounter in the café, I went to the airport to fetch Aleign, my bestfriend. She came from America during summer vacation and she asked me to fetch her today.

Wala tuloy ako sa sariling napaupo sa bench habang nakahalukipkip at naghihintay na naman. Bakit ba kanina pa ko pinaghihintay ng mga tao?

First, Raymond, my ex.

Now, Aleign, my bestfriend.

I rolled my eyes while getting impatient once again. Pero hindi ko maalis sa isip ko ang naging encounter ko kay Jake kanina. Nakakairita. Kanina sa biyahe magmula ngayon, siya lang talaga laman ng isip ko. Seriously, Kyla? When will you get over him?

Me and Jake had a history and it's such a long story to tell. Ayoko na rin isipin ang naging pagsasama namin pero biglang sumasagi sa isip ko, pinaglalaruan ata ako ng utak ko. I quivered in my seat when I remembered those moments with him during our high school.

I mean, we had a great time together but when I learned about his secret, I started getting distant with him. I don't want to be involved in a guy like him.

I just looked at the people around me who are also waiting for the arrival of their loved ones. I sighed at my seat while getting bored here.

Minutes later when I heard a gasp somewhere. Tumayo na ko at tama nga ang hinala ko na si Aleign na 'yon. She is that OA that she will really gasp in shock as if she is not expecting me here.

"Omg, you came!" tumakbo siya palapit sa'kin at pinanggigilan ako ng yakap.

"I miss you too, Aleign! Now, let go of me because you are suffocating me," sabi ko at hindi siya niyakap pabalik. Well, how can I? Ipit niya ang dalawang kamay ko.

She giggled at binalikan ang luggage niya sa kinatatayuan niya kanina. She went near me again and anchored her arm in mine.

"Thank you for fetching me, Kylalaine! I never expected this. Knowing you? Ayaw na ayaw mo ng inuutusan ka," she giggled. "But you really came all the way here to fetch me! You deserve a kiss and a treat from me!"

Nilapit niya ang mukha niya sa'kin at matunog na hinalikan ang pisngi ko. I just rolled my eyes, ever since I was born, this has been my mannerism. And Aleign is already used to it.

She giggled like a kid at hinila na ko palabas ng airport. Nakapark lang ang kotse namin sa labas kaya doon ko na pinasakay si Aleign. Ang driver ko naman ang kumuha sa luggage niya at ipinasok iyon sa loob ng kotse.

"So, where will you treat me?" I asked at tinaas-baba pa ang kilay ko sa kaniya.

"Duh? To our favorite! Café!" she exclaimed so we both giggled.

Sinabihan ko na lang ang driver namin na ibaba kami sa nearest café. Kaya nang makarating kami doon, agad akong nag-order samantalang si Aleign naman ay busy mag-retouch sa mukha niya.

After placing our orders, I also retouched my face. We both waited for our orders while taking pictures at the surroundings. I also took a photo of her because she requested it, aniya ipopost niya daw sa social media sites niya. When I gave her the phone, our orders arrived.

We both sipped from our frappes and as the usual Aleign, she is, she can't stand the atmosphere without initiating a conversation.

"How are you, my Kylalaine?" she smiled sweetly at me.

She has fair skin and medium-length hair. Her lips are heart-shaped, making her more attractive when she smiles.

I rolled my eyes as my answer. "Fine as fuck."
