Cherish Love

ANNE ALEXANDRIA CHLOE's POV

N-no way… W-what is he doing here? My eyes are still fixed on Dylan as he stands next to our homeroom teacher. I was taken aback when I suddenly saw Dylan looked at me as he smiles at me. T-this is for real!

"Oh by the way, where is the other person with you?" We heard our homeroom teacher asked. He's with another person?

"Nathan just went to the washroom, ma'am." Dylan said to our homeroom teacher. Nathan? Who's Nathan? Is that his friend?

"Oh my gosh. He looks so handsome!" I heard my girl classmate said to her seatmate. Who? Dylan?

"You're right! What do you think of him? Is he a model or an artist?" Her girl seatmate asked her. No, he's not. He's actually a businessman at a very young age.

"I don't care because what matters to me the most is how handsome and cool he is! He is even more handsome than Jordan!" I heard my other classmate said as she looks at Dylan with so much adoration. Oh, speaking of Jordan… I haven't seen him since he bothered me last time… Did brother did something to him?

"Oh my! Let's talk to him later. I want to date him!" My classmate said that made me arched my brows. What? Date him?

"No way! You've got to be kidding me. I won't allow you to steal him away from me." Her seatmate told her. What? Steal away from her? Just wait a moment… What was that again? This girl must be really crazy...

"Hey, Alex..." Rachel suddenly said that made me turn to look at her.

"What?" I asked. I don't know why but I suddenly feel irritated just now. Maybe because I don't like how other people claim someone like they owned them.

"Are you mad at me, Alex?" Rachel asked that made me stopped. What? Who's angry at whom?

"Of course not. Why would I get mad at you, Rachel?" I asked as I saw her took a deep sigh of relief as she leaned her back on her sit.

"Because you look so scary while looking at those two girls who wants to flirt with that handsome transfer student and you answered me so sternly when I asked you just now…" Rachel said that made me caught off guard. R-really? D-do I really sound like that? I was about to speak once again when someone suddenly opens...no, the classroom's door suddenly bangs open and we saw a green haired guy entered the room. Wait a minute… This person look so familiar to me...

"I'm sorry I was late!" The guy suddenly said that made my eyes grew wider. W-wait a minute! W-what is he doing here as well!?

"No, it's all right. Ethan already told us that you just went to the washroom for a while..." Our homeroom teacher said that made him just nod while catching his breath. N-no way… H-how come this guy is here all of a sudden? I thought he was in New York right now…

"R-really? I-is that so?" We heard Nathan said as he took a deep breath to calm his breathing.

"Okay! Hello, everyone! I'm Nathaniel Louie Santillan. You can call me Nathan and I am Chloe's---Oh hey there, my dearest cousin!" Nathan suddenly said as he spotted me that made me bow my head on my armchair as I felt all of my classmates gaze at me. Oh geez… This guy is really troublesome.

"Alex…" I heard Rachel called me as she gently shook me on my shoulder.

"What?" I asked while still hiding myself here.

"Is that guy pertaining to you?" Rachel asked that made just sighed. Of course… You saw him looking at me just now, right?

"Hey, Chloe… Are you the one he's talking---" I heard Rachel said but was suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence. Huh? I slowly raised my head up and the moment I raised it up, I suddenly saw a guy standing in front of me and when I finally look at him… I saw my crazy cousin smiling widely at me!

"CHLOE!" Nathan suddenly said in a loud voice before he pulled me up and hugged me tightly.

"N-nath---" I said as I tried to push him away because he's hugging me so tightly.

"I missed you so much! How long has it been? One year already?" I heard Nathan said while still hugging me. Geez! I push him a little harder so that I can look at him once again.

"I-it's not! It's only 11 months to be exact! And will you please let me go, Nathan?" I asked irritatedly that made Ethan frowned and hugged me again.

"No! Do you know how much I missed you?" Nathan said as he hugged me even more tightly. Oh no… I really can't breath!

"J-just let go! I-i can't breath, Nathan!" I said as loud as I could that made Nathan pulled away from the hug.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Chloe. Hehehe." I heard Nathan said as I catch my breathing. This guy… He's really crazy!

"So Nathan is Alex's cousin… That's great!" We heard our homeroom teacher suddenly said that made all of turned to look at her. Yes, ma'am. This crazy guy here is really my cousin.

"Alex? Who's Alex?" I heard Nathan suddenly asked that made me returned my attention to him. Seriously?

"Obviously, it's me." I said as I saw him looked at me in shock. What's wrong with that? Alex is also my name.

"What!? But Chloe is more suitable to---" Nathan said but was interrupted when I suddenly covered his mouth using my hands.

"Just keep quiet, Nathan." I said as I tried to calm myself. Seriously… Why is this guy is so loud as always?

"Anyways, we still have five vacant sits so you two can sit anywhere you want while I will leave for a moment to get something in the faculty room but please behave everyone, okay?" Our homeroom teacher said that made all of us just nod.

"Yes, ma'am!" We all said before our homeroom teacher went out of the room and moments later...

"Hello, Ethan!"

"Hi, Ethan! Nice to meet you! I'm Shaine."

"Hi! I'm Courtney!"

"Hi! Ariella is my name." The girls said as they introduced themselves to Ethan who's just standing there in surprise. I just sighed. Wow, I didn't expect that he's really popular though I can't deny that he really look so handsome, especially while wearing our uniform..

"Wow… Your boyfriend is really famous, Chloe…" I heard Nathan suddenly said that made me returned my attention to him.

"What?" I asked. Don't tell me...he already knows?

"Does he really look more handsome than me?" Nathan asked once again while pointing on himself. I just sighed. This guy...

"If you change your hair color back to its original color then maybe." I said but to be honest, he's still handsome even though he has this weird hobby to change his hair color quite often but I think Dylan is really born to become more handsome than him.

"I'm being serious here, Chloe!" Nathan said that almost made me laugh. Hahaha!

"A-alex…" Rachel said that made me returned my attention to her and saw her looking at me in shock.

"What's wrong, Rachel?" I asked. What happen to her?

"Is that true?" Rachel asked in disbelief. The what?

"What are you talking about? I don't understand you…" I asked. What is she talking about? What does she mean by that? I was about to ask once again when she suddenly speaks first.

"That Ethan is your boyfriend!?" Rachel suddenly yelled that made everyone especially those girls turned their attention to me. T-that's…

"T-that… L-let me explain it---" I said but I was interrupted when I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind me.

"Why do you have to explain to her, Chloe?" I heard Dylan's voice that made me turned around and saw him standing here so close to me.

"W-what are you saying?" I asked. What? I don't understand what he is saying...

"Why can't you just tell them the truth?" Dylan asked seriously that made me even more confused.

"W-what truth? What does he mean by that, Alex!?" Rachel asked once again in panicked. I just sighed.

"Rachel... Will you please stop being so exaggerated? Dylan and I are just---" I said and was once again interrupted by Dylan.

"We are a loving couple way back then…" Dylan said that made me arched my brows. What? What did he just say?

"W-way back then?" Rachel asked while all our classmates are watching us.

"Yes… We are just like any ordinary couple who loves to call each other, message each other, cling to each other and wanting to see each other so much…" Dylan said so seriously. But wait… What? When did we ever do such things?

"Not until I went to a place far away from her due to some circ.u.mstances and happens to lose our connection with each other." Dylan said while looking at me with so much longing in his eyes. W-wow… So, he knows how to act?

"That moment… I realized that I can't live with you, Chloe..." Dylan said while still looking at me with those eyes.

"I really do regret what I did to you, Chloe that's why please forgive me... " I heard Dylan said before he held my hand tightly before he returned his attention to me. W-what? What did he do to me to make him regret like that?

"I am here now… I won't leave you anymore... I'm already back to being with you once again and I'm going to make sure that this time…" Dylan said with a gentle voice before he pulled my hand closer to his lips and kissed it that made my heart skip a beat. W-what is he doing!?

"I will never ever leave you anymore…" Dylan said as he c.a.r.e.s.sed my face.

"I promise you that this time, I will always be right here for you, Chloe so please accept me again…" Dylan said as he turned to look at me once again while still holding my hand. D-dylan…

"Love me again just like how we used to love each other back then because until now… My feelings for you have never change but instead, it even grew deeper as time goes by..." Dylan said sweetly. W-why? I-i mean, I feel like, I'm starting to get emotional now… Is it because Dylan's acting is just so amazing?

"Please forgive me for leaving you for such a very long time…" Dylan said as if he really meant everything that he tells me and to be honest… Those words are the words that I wanted to hear from Christian from a very long time…

"Let's start all over again, Chloe… Just please give me one more chance, my princess…" I heard Dylan said as he gently tells me that. I don't know why but I suddenly nodded my head while also looking at him. I don't know why but I feel like I'm already drown in his calm eyes. I was caught off guard when he suddenly pulled me close to him and hugged me tightly.

"Thank you, Chloe..." I heard Dylan said while I heard our classmates clapped their hands as if they just watched a wonderful romance movie.

"This is the start, Chloe..." Dylan suddenly said that brought me back in my senses. Oh, that's right. This is all an act to make everyone believe that Dylan and I are already in a relationship for a very long time. I just nodded my head as I hugged him back.

"Yes… Thank you, Dylan…" I said as we both hugged each other. This is it… There's really no turning back now… I just took a deep breath. I'm really sorry, Christian… I'm sorry but I have to do this...for the sake of the two of us.
