100 Days and I Still Love You!

NOT SO WELL...

So, it was actually like, a couple of months since we both decided to date. Jenna is a sweet girl and caring too. She always makes sure that my emotion was on checked, and the wounds in my heart slowly heal as well. 

It means that I began to forget about Adam, almost completely. 

Well, not almost, as I had to sit beside him in the class until one of the kids moved away, I took the chance.

"Miss Evangeline, can I switch my place?"

I raised my hands at the first moment when my teacher entered the class.

"And why is that, Alan?"

"I need to get away from the disturbance back here. It seems like, I need a new perspective, plus I want to get closer to the teacher."

Adam still did not look at us, as the teacher and I was clearly talked about him. Miss Evangeline's eyes shifted between Adam and me swiftly and finally agreed.

"Okay, Mr Alan. You may change your seat, and it will be yours until the end of the year."

I pushed my chair, loudly, to make Adam noticed, but sadly, he did not, even until the last moment, we sat next to each other.

What the heck I was thinking?

Screw you, Adam!

I collected my items and proceeded to the front seat. Well, it actually beside Jenna, so likely, it will be more comfortable to learn, rather than stuck at the back.

"Okay class, let resume, shall we?"

"Hey"

Jenna softly greeted me. I smiled, telling her that I was okay. She was about to say something, but Miss Evangeline walked in front of her.

"Miss Jenna, the class is intriguing to hear about what you about to say if you continued to talk with Alan. Please, if it is a secret, keep it until the class end."

Jenna quickly turned front and did I. Though, I really did not mind what she was about to say, right now, my mind was filled with things about Adam. Like,

Is he really hate me?

Is it true that he was just playing?

Are we really not friends from the start?

Argh! Enough!

Adam made it clear that we were not friends, and he was just wanted to play and make me look like I am desperate.

SO, IT WILL BE NO WAY, I AM FALLING TO HIM, EVER AGAIN!

Jenna, who was stared at me for a while, while watching my face wrinkled, mouthed "See you after class" to me. After that, we both focused on class. Until someone decided to make a fuss.

Yeap, Adam.

He suddenly grabbed his bag and stormed off the class, but Miss Evangeline got to hold him back for a minute.

"Mr Adam! Where do you think you want to go during my lecture?!"

He stopped just a few inches away from the door, turning around and gave a sharp glare at me, then he shifted it to Miss Evangeline.

"I'm sick. I'm going home."

Right before Miss Evangeline could hinder him, he was already left the room. Feeling tired, Miss Evangeline let him be, almost like he had done it several times. She acted like nothing happened, and proceeded, again, with her class.

"Okay, shall we continued?"

Jenna brought me around after class. She said it was her favourite spot, so I played along, as long as it was not something that reminded me to Adam anymore. We took the bus since she said it was a bit far, but it will be worthy. I tagged along with her, as this was the first time I saw her that excited for something.

"Promise me that you wouldn't laugh at me if we arrived."

It kind made me wanted to know even more since she said it might be funny, but seeing her this excited plus a bit flustered if I laughed, made me happy, for a moment.

"Okay, okay, but why are you being so secretive about it? Is it your secret lair, but you need to keep it as a secret, because it might destroy the whole town? Omg, am I associate with a wannabe criminal?"

She pouted and pinched me softly. The bus stopped at its next stop, and Jenna grabbed my arm and pulled me around.

"Here we are, come on! I don't want the limited edition sold out today!"

I quickly stood up and ran at her pace, as she really loved this place. After we ran for a few metres, finally we reached to her favourite spot, which was...an Italian restaurant?

"Come on! It usually sold out, but today is my day! I will not let anyone grab it today!"

Wow, I never thought that she loves to eat Italian's cuisine that much. Need to add to my note.

Jenna was already rushed inside while I still walked behind her. Somehow, I felt relieved to know her, as she looked like a kind girl, who will do anything to make you happy.

But, is she really the one that I wanted to be with?

"Alan, hurry up! I already picked the table, come on! I want to order now!"

"Coming!"

Jenna ordered a prestigious pasta, that been grated with parmesan cheese, decorated with parsley, added with crab's meat. The fanciest pasta I have ever seen. While me, I ordered the most basic aglio oglio spaghetti, which came along with free lemon tea drink. 

Which I learned from my dad, always take the set, with the drink.

"I never knew that you're a fan of Italian's food."

Jenna coughed as she slurped the last noddle, and suddenly her face turned red.

"D-do you think that I'm weird for loving Italian, rather than other West's food?"

I looked at her, drawing a circle on the table, as her face was red as the tomato. Looking her embarrassed over this, I laughed it out. 

"It is nothing wrong with it, why? Have someone judge you for it?"

I asked though I was still laughing about it. Jenna pouted, but then her face changed to melancholy, as she was surpassing her story.

"Yeah, I just...nevermind. Come on, eat!"

Should I asked more, or let her tell it by herself?

No!

Let her tell the story by herself.

"Should I order more? The trip here was tiring! I should buy more, and it is in your bill!"

"Hey!!"

We both laughed and ate a lot at that time. We even shared our meal to each other, as it was also my first time to visit the restaurant in this town. So, I should splurge more for today. After both of us cannot take anymore, we called the waitress, and I took the chance to pay.

"My treat, as you show me around to this fancy restaurant."

Yuna: OMG! How can Alan be that romantic?

Alan: Shh! Let me finish!

Jenna looked mad, but I quickly pat his head.

"Aren't we in a relationship? So that's mean, I should treat you."

Listening to that, Jenna smiled, and she, again, took my arm, and pulled me out the store, after I paid.

"Well, since you pay for the meal, I think I should pay for something else."

Yuna: Is this that 'aquarium incident'?

Alan: Nope.

We walked along, side by side, as she was the one who planned the after-meal event. I just followed through her plan.

"So, what's next?"

I asked since this has suddenly become the unofficial first date. Jenna then looked around as she tried to remember the route.

"I remembered somewhere...Ah, that's it!"

Jenna pointed at the old shop, that looked like a karaoke's lounge.

"Come, come!"

She dragged me, though if I wanted I did not want to, but since she insisted, I followed along. The shop looked like something that usually appeared during the horror film, but I have to brave since I am the lady here. Jenna pushed the door opened, and an old man, who was waiting behind the counter greeted us.

"Ah, little Jenna, there's no movie right now. Oh, and whos this? A new friend who in love with classical romance film too?"

"Aunt May, this is Alan. Alan, Aunt May, she is the one who operated this little cinema, for young couples to watch the film. Romantic, especially."

I bowed down as a greeting to her. She smiled and praised me as she never saw any gentlemen lately.

"What a polite young man! Come, I treat you for one show, for free today! Please, enjoy this little shack of the old lady."

"Oh, thank you! I'll surely be the regular here now!"

I thanked her again, and she smiled even broader than before.

"Ah, there's not much any polite teenagers around lately. There's one, tall, handsome, but have mean rebel look, but, he is kind and courteous. Too bad, he stopped visiting, as he said he got his heartbroken and didn't want to watch any romantic film. Poor child!"

We did not know who she was talking about, but we pretended to understand by nodding. Jenna runs through the movie's selection at the nearest rack until she finally got one.

"Uuu, this is classical. Aunty, we want to watch this!"

The old lady nodded and took the film and proceeded to prepare. Jenna took me to the only room there and pushed it open. To my surprise, I never saw a movie room before, that looked comfortable, though it looked old at the outside.

"Come, let sit here!"

Jenna already sat at the beanie bag, which looked comfy, and I sat next to her. When the movie was about to start, Jenna moved closer to me.

"This...kinda looked fun, the date."

Jenna said softly as the movie had started. Couples of minutes later, she gently put her head on my shoulder. 

I felt like, she is doing her best, to make this relationship worked out, though we only knew like, a few weeks ago.

And, I think, I should work for it too. 

Maybe, I will fall in love with her.

I rested my head on top of her head, but I landed it softly, not too harsh and placed my left arm onto her shoulder.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Yuna: Ugh! Right now, I'm so jealous, like movie date, in a private room? Jenna, next time, it will be only us.

Jenna: Okay, but you need to meet my parent first.

Alan: No point continuing it now, as these two lovebirds are talking to each other. Well, will resume it tomorrow.
