Unspoken Love

                I can never forget the time when my cousin, Mia dragged me to the mall and bought a hundreds of tickets as an entry for the raffle draw, the boy band (she really loved) hosted, One Direction. It’s funny that she calls herself a ‘directioner’ but never got any direction I told her when we are having cooking lessons. “Are you really going to waste your money and time just to buy those entries?” I asked while we are lining up a…maybe a 1 kilometer line from the ticket store where I felt so thirsty and hearing the girls talk about the boy band member they really like. “Oh no cousin” she said “this is worth it and I’m sure I’ll be the one who’ll spent with HARRY STYLES for2 weeks in Paris, the city love” and she squeaked like a pig.  Harry Styles is this fair skinned, BIG MOUTHED –“HEY SHUT UP! HE DOESN’T HAVE A BIG MOUTH”, Mia used to say on me whenever I describe Harry on my video diaries. So BIG MOUTHED, brown eyed and has a wavy brown hair which Mia finds CUTE, YUMMY and HANDSOME where I find him TERRIBLY HORRIBLE and DISGUSTING! Finally! After a THOUSAND YEARS we got to the cashier and Mia wrote her name, address and boy band member she’ll be spending with in Paris for 2 weeks, (if and only IF she’ll win) on the 101 tickets to be exact which took her..Probably 2 hours?? Which made the GIRLS on my back cursed her. Oh right ! it wasn’t 101, it was exact 100 because she said, 101 is not a nice number, so she gave it to me I wrote my name –Kim Berry—address, and the boy band member??? Hmmm… I didn’t think of any one else but Harry. So I wrote his name “no fear” I said to myself, “I’m sure I’m not going to win… there are millions of tickets to be choose with and I’ve only got one.” I looked at the ticket for a while and it said “RAFFLE DRAW WILL HAPPEN ON MAY 21 WHICH WILL BE AIRED ALL OVER THE WORLD SO DON’T FORGET TO WATCH IT LIVE ON THE DIRECTIONER’S CHANNEL.”And finally, I drop my entry and went straight back home along with Mia looking so HAPPY as if she hit a jackpot.

                Few days passed and May 21 arrived. Let me tell you, the night before May 21, Mia dressed up like a nun and prayed all night staring at the clock ‘til morning until it stroke at 9 where she screamed so loudly which woke me up from my beautiful dream. She turned the TV on and a woman in a swimming attire appeared on the screen “DIRECTIONERS! TODAY’S THE BIG DAY. AM I RIGHT “the woman said which made the DIRECTIONER audience screamed so loud that se covered her ears. “So today’s the big day huh?” I asked while I rubbed my eyes. “Today is the day” Mia said wistfully which made me chortled. “Well then” the woman on the screen said “LETS GET STARTED” right after she said those words, the AUDIENCE became so wild as if they were watching a wrestling. Few moments passed and a GIANT AQUARIUM filled with TICKETS was brought in to the arena, I mean studio. “Before I’ll swim in the aquarium and grab the winning ticket,” she said “LET US WELCOME THE ……. ONE DIRECTIOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!” Holy moly! Mia just jumped so high she reached the ceiling and almost cracked the floor when she saw the 5 guys entering the studio, smiling and waving on the viewers and audience then the 5 guys sat on a couch and waited for the results. “This it!” the woman on the television and jumped at the millions of ticket entries in the aquarium and then she went back holding a single ticket every directioner hoped its theirs. The crowd went wild. “This girl wants to be with you-----“ she said “HARRY STYLES” the crowd went wild again but not all of them. “THE NAME” the woman said and SILENCE OCCURRED as Harry Styles stood up brushing his hair making me irritated. I was about to walk out and head towards the kitchen because I AM 101% SURE MIA ISN’T THE WINNER AND-----“ KIM BERRY”

                TALK ABOUT SHIT! I rushed towards the television in anger wanting to slam it but I just turned it off.  I can’t exterminate a flat screen TV, that’s out of my league. I sighed “THAT ISN’T FAIR.” Mia stood up and she said “ HOLY MOLY KIM!!!!!!! LET ME PACK YOUR THINGS!!!!!” “I----“ I tried to speak but Mia already ran towards my room screaming I won which made me DISGUSTED. I could say MILLIONS OF BAD WORDS knowing I was chose! It should’ve been Mia, I thought. I mean I’ve dropped a single ticket, JUST ONE AND -------- all the rumbling in my head immediately stopped when a car beeped outside. I went out to look who it is -----AND THE WORST HAS YET TO COME. A much not tall, fair-skinned guy standing beside a black limousine holding a bouquet of roses. He wore a checkered polo shirt and jeans and VANS shoes. He was a wavy hair, brown eyes and BIG MOUTH! “I suppose you are that WIDE MOUTHED GUY IN ONE DIRECTION? AM I NOT RIGHT??” I asked insultingly. It took him 20 seconds to respond and he looked stunned with his mouth wide open “You’re the winner?” he asked. “SADLY YES. SADLY. I WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE!!! YOU KNOW!” I said and was about to enter the house leaving him outside till he die when Mia was standing at my back staring at Harry with her mouth WIDE OPEN so WIDE that maybe a hundred flies could came in. Mia dropped my luggage and rushed to HARRY screaming. “don’t shout!” Harry warned looking very ugly for me. “Oh sorry” Mia apologized. “Kim” she called out “ I think the guy you’ll be spending with in Paris is ready  for the flight” “and so you are, my lady” Harry added. Yuck!, I thought. I then picked up the luggage Mia dropped. “Tell mom what happened okay?” I requested. Mia cross armed and gave me a I’LL-KILL-YOU-LATER look but at the end she smiled. I opened the gate, stepped out. He offered me his hand which I rejected ‘I’ve got a mind of my own. I’m not an idiot and what’s more I really didn’t want to win and I WAS NEVER A FAN OF YOUR BAND AND YOU. I’D RATHER GO TO PARIS ALONE IF ONLY I CAN.” I said rudely and went in. He didn’t look offended and still smiling. I was feeling really sick like I've eatten rotten eggs but I don’t want to notify Harry so I just looked at the window until I blacked out.

                The next thing I knew when woke up, I was sitting on a huge and comfortable chair. The place was bright and air-conditioned. Everything was beautiful. I saw windows and realized, “I’m in an airplane?” I asked. “Yep” a boy’s voice said beside me. It was Harry typing something on the lap top. “What happened?” I asked. “You kind’ a black out” he said and stopped typing and turned on me “you alright now?” For the first time he looked  ----no he’s still MONSTROUS. “Yeah.” I said “Where are we heading, big mouthed?” He turned his head and said “You don’t know you’re beautiful” I chortled. “I’m ugly, so just tell me where on we are heading?” and then he looked mad “I don’t like a girl who says she’s ugly” I didn’t mind him and I pretended to sleep even though I can see he’s still looking at me at the corner of my right eye until I really fell asleep.
