Chapter Four

Ruzzel's POV

This is it! I will now start my mission. Make Aliyah say yes, and it would be great if she will fall for me in the end.

If she was not moved by the letters and chocolates, then proceed to the next move.

I went to our campus early. Together with me is a fresh bouquet of white flowers for Aliyah. I just remembered what my mom said, flowers are one of the weaknesses of women, I just don't know if it's true but of course, I believed in her, she's a woman ... and she's my mom.

As I was walking down the hallway, a beautiful and sexy female student approached me. She looked at the flower I was carrying. I just scratched my head and tried to smile.

While still walking, I just had a question about myself so I paused for a while. Got my phone then called Vince.

“Yes dude what’s up?” he picked up my call after three long attempts! Psh.

“Aliyah’s schedule right now? What and where?”

Then he gave me all the necessary details I wanted to know. By the way, Vince had a crush on Aliyah reason why he knows a lot of things about that witch, oh I mean Aliyah.

After looking for the room Vince told me, I entered and looked immediately for Aliyah. I was welcomed by the noise of her female classmates. It hurts my ear but I just have to ignore it, so I fake smile.

There I found Aliyah sitting in the corner while having her headset on. Maybe that is the reason why she was not paying attention to me just like how her female classmates did.

I borrowed the professor’s seat, a good thing it is their vacant time as well. I started strumming the guitar that I brought as one of my props.

Everyone was looking at me except her. Is it the right time to throw some stones at her? Nah. Just kidding.

“Ahem... Ahem...” I am trying to clear my throat not because I have a cough but instead just want to get her attention. And guess what? Nothing happened!

I decided to do something which can make her mad, no I mean... Oh never mind!

So I took all the courage that I had and took some candies from my pocket. I have three pieces on my right hand and now it's time to throw these directly to Aliyah.

Looks like I just witnessed a slow-motion landing of candies on Aliyah’s head and makes my inner being laughed out so loud while my outer being was just pretending to be worried about Aliyah getting hurt.

When she looked at me, a death glare was shown in her eyes. As expected. Hahahahaha! I gave her a smile in addition to her annoyance. How cute, Aliyah. Hahahaha.

I started strumming again.

“This song is dedicated to the girl who caught my......... heart, Aliyah.”

I started singing. All of her classmates shouted again. Some of them even moved their tables just to show their support for me.

When I ended my song, everyone applauded EXCEPT her. But the whole time I was singing...she was just looking at me. Her eyes were fixed on me. Maybe she was that mesmerized by my presence. Maybe she had fallen for me that instant.

But I made a mistake.

Do you guys know what happened next?

She threw away a book on me and it landed on my head and it hurts. It hurts! She’s being unfair, candies vs book.

“Are you trying to serenade me? Or are you trying to recite a poem? You sing like a frog and it sucks!”

Then after she said that, she walked out of the room. My hands were about to grab her hair, luckily I came to my right senses and hurriedly stopped it from doing bad things.

I choose to follow her, not on Insta, but personally... I followed her.

She came out of the building and so I ran then held her arm.

Yes, I held, disgusting to say, but yes I held her arm. Yuck, right?

“What now?!” she shouted. Hey author, can it be possible if Aliyah could talk in a low voice? My eardrums were now surely damaged because of her high-pitched voice.

“Uhmm Aliyah, I just want to give this to you...” then I handed her the bouquet of white flowers.

She took it then smells it afterward. Nah, just kidding. What happened was, she destroyed it and from what I see on her face, anger is all over it.

“What do you think of me Ruzzel?!? Do you think I’m already dead?”

“Huh?” Confusion now showered my being. What was she trying to say?

“Of all the colors... You choose white! Are you imagining me traveling to heaven?”

Ah, okay got it. Should I give her red roses instead?

"Sorry Aliyah ... but that's not how I think."

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!”

“I- I - I can’t Aliyah... You’re my life, you’re my soul.” Hahahhahahahaha yuck. I am just trying to annoy her even more.

“Stop talking nonsense! Go to hell! Bring your flowers with you! Bghdasvfgdshcbgvu!!”

“Those flowers have no sin. They were all innocent. I will just change it, what color do you want?” then I smiled.

"Are you that idiot?! Stop disturbing me!”

“One last question Aliyah then I will not bother you anymore. What color of the flower do you want?”

“Black!”

“Is there a black flower aside from those which was rotten?”

“I dunno, find one!”

“If I find it, then you will be my girlfriend?”

"WHAT!?!"

She was about to punch me, luckily I have something like a shield.

“I will continue to court you, Aliyah.”

She smirked then hurriedly kicked my knee. After hurting me for the nth time, she walked away.

When I turned around, I saw my friends laughing at me.

Oh, what a day!
