Chapter 1

GAILLE'S POV

"Gaille! Gaille!"

"Mia! Trouble?"

"If I'm in trouble, you could have seen bodies lying here."

"Oh right. I forgot that you're a kickboxing champion. Who will fall in love with you if you keep beating them up."

"I don't wanna fall in love. I want to enjoy being single. Wait. Hmmm. Are you faling for that Chris guy?"

"Huh? Me? Who will fall to that stupid and addict guy?"

"Hmm. This is interesting. We are classmates you know with that guy."

"How will I forget if he keeps bothering me every minute. He's my seatmate after all."

"Hahaha. Don't you want to have another boyfriend Gaille? It's been two years since your break up with Mike."

"Don't want to talk about it."

Riiiiing! Riiiiiing! Riiiiiiing!

"That was our bell Gaille. Another day for you to enjoy the company of your beloved Chris."

"Stop it."

And there she goes laughing out loud like there's no tomorrow.

We're heading to our classroom of doom now. That stupid and crazy Chris.

Crazy Chris. Sounds nice.

"Good morning Gaille my love!"

"Out of my way! Stap that crazy 'my love thing' Chris. It's not funny at all and I'm getting irritated."

"Then Good morning Gaille! <3"

"Tss. Fine that's better."

Oh my! Being his classmate is such a disaster. If only I could get rid of him. Ohh. . . I got it.

"Hi! Gaille! <3"

"Hi Chris!"

"You talked to me for the first time. I'm so happy!"

"Could you please keep your mouth shut."

"As you say <3"

"May I ask you something?"

"But don't you say I'm dunb. Why are you going to ask me?"

"It's not related to academics stuff, dumb. "

"Ohh. Okay. . . "

"You like me, is that true?"

"I do and I really love you."

"Why?'

"Why?"

"Why do you like me?"

"Your strong, brave and. . . . . .  extraordinary."

"Extraordinary? Eh?"

"Do you agree being my girlfriend already?"

"Well. . .I have something to say and there are rules you nedd to follow."

"Rules? What are those? I'll definitely agree on everything."

"Well. . .To start this. . .I don't like you. Never assume that I do but I want to try. I want to know if I will or if you'll ever make to. Understand?"

"Ohh. Si!"

"Then the rules. . .

First: I don't want you to call me 'my love'. Gaille will do.

Second: You wait for me by the gate and carry my  things.

Third: You are only allowed to act close to me in school. Once we're outside school premises you're five meters away from me. You are not allowed to get close to me unless I say so."

That is all. So?"

"Agreed. So does this mean you're my girlfriend?"

"Yes. I am but remember. . "

"That you don't love me still but in the future, NEAR future I know you will."

"If one of them is broken, I'll definitely break up with you."

"No problem because I will not break any of those."

That was easier than I imagined. He fell for it. I know he'll agree but I wonder how long he can take it. Mike Raphaell. . .it's been two years and fnally at least for some time I will forget you.

"Gaille, is the rumor true?"

"What rumor?"

"That you and Chris are going out."

"It spread so fast."

"So its true?"

"Yeah."

"You - oh my gosh - why?"

"It's the only way to get rid of him."

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

"I set rules so if he ever breaks one of them it means break up."

"And you are confident about this. . . "

"Yes, actually."

"You're too harsh. . . Even worse than my punches and kicks."

"Well, I'm just living up with what they say about me. . .the Heart of Steel."

"No wonder, you are."

CHRIS'S POV

"Wow Chris after about a year, she finally agreed to go out with you but what is this. . .she haven't fallen for you yet?"

"You wait Edmund. Just wait and see."
