Ellie is wandering around in circles at the park first thing in the morning, expecting for Alex to appear. He sacrificed his everyday reading time to plan out how can he be a noble companion to her. But frustrated because Alex doesn't show to him yet. Looking at the time on his watch. It is 8:30 A. M, so thirty minutes before the class starts. The teacher will punish him for being late again if she doesn't show up.
Ellie turned around when he noticed Alex at the top of the bridge. She's smiling while waving at him.
"You… are… late!!!!" he roared at her. She expected that he'll be happy to see her, but she sees that he's troubled. "Why is she waving to me? Is she Princess Catarina or something? For crying out loud!" he uttered with irritation and he walks closer to Alex. Princess Catarina is the lost princess in 'Wishing Upon a Star'.
"He came!" she whispered when she's happy to see him first thing in the morning.
"We'll be late for sure!"
"Don't worry, Ellie!" she said happily, and they walked to school together. This is the first time that Ellie has a female companion and they are walking together to the school.
MISSION 1: PICK HER UP EVERY DAY WHEN GOING TO SCHOOL
"I've never been this late before!" he mumbled to himself.
"Ellie! You're my boyfriend, so if you don't pick me up properly, I won't forgive you!" she warned him.
"Okay…" he frightened by Alex's warning to him. He kept quiet so that his sentence would end immediately. "What shall I do afterwards so you can forgive me?" he asked.
"That would be… I want a reliable boyfriend so you have to protect me!" she suggested.
"Huh? Protect you? That's so vague…" he shocked.
"Eat lunch with me!"
"HUH?!" he exclaimed as they stopped walking.
"It's a date!" she suddenly moves closer beside him. Ellie suddenly turns away from her as he can't look at her beautiful eyes. "Ahh… also, I want a present from you!" she makes him hear her as she surrounds him.
Ellie suddenly startled when he discovered her selfish requests. He always used to spend his money on buying books, but from now on, he needs to save up.
"And then…." she said, and she smooched at him as if she was waiting for a kiss. Time stopped at his sight when he saw that her eyes were closed and he focused on her beautiful lips. His mind quickly went blank, and it blasted in because of shame. He yelled loud in frustration.
"Do we go that much as boyfriend and girlfriend?!" he suddenly asked.
"I mean… they do!" she smirked.
"No… that's such a thing to do by normal people…"
Alexandria's ears hurts because of Ellie's excuses that he says. She just approached him and suddenly clings to Ellie like a lovely sweetheart. "It's actual life, isn't it?" she asked, and it shocked Ellie, so he walked away from her.
"STOP IT!" he said in shock, and he removed Alex's arms from him. He notices that Alex looks upset with him and it sounds like what he did was wrong. "If I don't do it… then it's that a no go?" he demanded.
"Yep!" she said as she nodded with a smile. He can't do everything to decline her, so he will just follow what she prefers. He pushed himself to cling on Alex so she would no longer sulk at her. Alex clings to his arms freely as they walk close to school.
When the time of his suffering with Alex was over, he listed all of her requirements for him in his notebook inside his room so he could be a decent boyfriend for her. He studied his list, and he keeps memorizing it.
"Pick her up every day when going to school… Protect her at all cost… Eat lunch with her every day…"
"A present from you and a kiss! Smoochy! Smoochy! Smooch!" Belle said as she appeared to him. She mocks him again and again because he's now involved with her. "Did she demand you to do all of that?" she asked him.
"The more that I think about it, it seems like she keeps on increasing them… It's like the 8th ring of hell," he replied as he flip his notebook.
"Is it possible that she really wants to go out with you as boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked as she waved her magic wand.
"That's not possible!" he replied with annoyance. "She's taking away my fictional realm… what should I do to get out of this?!"
"That's good! Get rid of that negative thinking!" she said, like she's cheering for him to turn her down.
"What do I need to fall in love?!" he shouted as he stand up in his seat.
"Yeah! You got that right! You're just being manipulated!" she strongly advises him while she flies around him and points out her magic wand to him. "There's no way you can love an actual girl!" she whispered in his ear. "Now, repeat after me!"
"I'm just being manipulated. I won't fall in love." he mumbled to himself.
"More!"
"I'm just being manipulated! I won't fall in love!" he said it loud.
"More please!"
"I'm just being manipulated! I won't fall in love!" he said it louder.
"Shout it!"
"I'm just being manipulated! I won't fall in love!" he shouted loud. Ellie didn't know that his parents and his younger sister can hear him. They are being annoyed because they did not know why Ellie was like that.
"He becomes more strange every day…" his mother said, like she's concerned.
"Chelsea!" his father called, and Chelsea went shocked. "From now on, you'll be our first-born child!" he mentioned her. Chelsea just nodded to her father.
"I'm just being manipulated! I won't fall in love!" he was even screaming inside his room as if he's talking to someone.
THE NEXT DAY
*murmurs* *murmurs* *murmurs*
Ellie just bent over the cafeteria table because he was next to Alex, who was close to him. All the students in the cafeteria were staring at him. Other guys suspect him because he's eating with one of the most beautiful girls in their school.
"Do you like your meal?" she asked happily.
Ellie is just sitting in the chair, not staring at her. "Why are you sitting next to me?" he suddenly asked in a whisper.
"Together…." she reminds him of her second request.
"We're going to eat lunch…" he mumbled to her.
"That's correct! You're gaining, Ellie!" she corrects his answer while she smiles.
MISSION #2: EAT LUNCH WITH HER EVERY DAY
"WHATT??!!!!!" Riley suddenly collapsed ridiculously while he's being carried by his friends.
"Are you okay, bro?" his friend stand him gently while Riley recovered from his consciousness. He didn't like what he saw in front of him that a beautiful girl sits next to Ellie.
"No… No… No…" he said as he sits the same table in front of them. "Are you for real?" he asked with shocked. "No… you've got to be kidding guys... Are you two dating?" Alex just staring at him, not saying a single word. Well, for Ellie, he was still staring at the table and still could not move.
"No, there's no way you two are dating," he said with full of pride.
"We are dating!" she replied with pride too.
Riley doesn't accept the fact that the two of them are dating. "No, no, no… that's not right! Your social status is unique!" he's stated the fact.
"You are exactly right…" he mumbled to himself.
"I don't really understand what you're saying," she said nicely as she puts down her spoon and fork.
"And why is that? I think going out with me would be the better option,"
"No way!" she replied while smiling.
"HUH?!!!" Riley and Ellie shouted with synchronicity. It surprised them by what Alex said.
"Shut the hell up!" he told Ellie, and so Ellie just kept quiet.
"Hey… he's a dork from a different realm. What good do you see in a loser like him? Hey. I want to know, so tell me…" Ellie seemed that Riley is threatening them badly, especially Alex. Ellie startled when she suddenly grabs his arm, knowing that she's asking for his help. He just thought Alex's next requirement to be a decent boyfriend.
"I must be a reliable boyfriend and protect her at all costs!" it suddenly crossed his mind.
MISSION #3: PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS
Ellie suddenly stood up in her chair and he approached Riley. His eyes quickly shifted when he stood up. All students are observing at them.
"H-Hey! W-What are you doing?" It shocked Riley by what Ellie was doing to him as he suddenly bumps him with force. It surprised Alex for what he was doing.
"What! What!" he exclaimed when Ellie suddenly hugged him forcedly. "Let go of me, bro!" he escaped from his hug but Ellie kept chasing him. It shocked the students when Ellie is hugging Riley from his back. The two of them faced in front of the students and they notice that Ellie's right arm is holding his arms while the left arm is holding his body. Ellie's face is on top of Riley's shoulder and Riley is resisting from him.
"A back hug!" his friend said. The crowd shouted. Riley suddenly doesn't know what is going on.
"Stop it!" he escaped from Ellie's back hug, but he's cornered on the wall to the other side of cafeteria. Ellie corners him by putting his left arm on the wall beside on Riley's face as Ellie looks close to him.
"A wall pound!" another of his friends said, as if he were laughing. This situation seems weird to them. The crowd laughs in front of him and Riley noticed that.
"Get away from me!" he pushed Ellie when Riley suddenly hit his own lip because of Ellie's hands. Ellie approached him and he put his hands to his lips. He lifts his chin and stares at his shiny eyes like it's like the male lead treats the female lead when they want to share a kiss.
"A CHIN LIFT!!!!" The crowd goes wild as they clapping their hands to them. It's like they are a love couple, but in the same gender. "Get off me!" Riley pushed him away as he feel embarrassed.
Alex can't believe what happened to them. Her head suddenly aches while her mind is spinning around. She suddenly feels dizzy when she suddenly fainted and lose consciousness.
"KIYAA!!!!!" A girl suddenly screams out loud as she saw someone passed out. The crowd suddenly becomes quiet and Ellie notices her. It startled him that Alex had fainted in front of him.
"Hey! Are you okay?!" He asked her aloud while caressing her forehead. He carried her on his lap, and he shakes her arms.
"Are you okay?! Please respond to me! ARE YOU OKAY?!!!!"
