"Why are we here today?" I ask.
"What?Why are you asking?Is it not okay to be in a place you usually live?"
"This is our house?"I asked again. I can't quite believe this is happening.
"Yes? Yes it is." She answered straightly after wringkling her eyebrows on me.
I surrendered a loud sight. "Do you really have to change all colors to white? It feels like Im in an isolated room in Forthward hospital.I'm not sick,am I? Or are you?"I didn't stop grinning.
Yes we have to change it all but neither do I is sick. We just have to orderly follow the kindom's law. Law that you should have remembered from the day you learnt to understand." She's on it again. What an attitude.
I took a spin in the middle of the hall and noticed all that is white.The only thing is 'not' white is our body, clothes and eyes and lips. I imagine how we look if our eyes are white. We must look like a dead fish.
"Yang." Suddenly a very familiar voice echoed.
"BERTO!" I ran into him and hugged him. "I missed seeing you,brother."
"Me too.It's been a long time being away from this kindom I awfully feel home sick every passing day."He said.
I just stared at him. I can't open up a topic that could cause me trouble.I have to be more careful.
"So..How was your 21st birthday,brother?" Oww geez.I almost forgot about last night.
I began sweating like a pig.I am too guilty that I do not want to talk about it. "I..I..It was great..Yeah."
"Your hands are shaking,Yan.Did something bad happened?"He asked and put his arm on my shoulders like he usually do when he is teasing me back when we were young.
"Nothing.It was great dealing with people really.Nothing happend." I said as I faced him. "It was great.Really great."
The one hour before the party.
"Is she coming?"
"No.Not coming."
"What?Give me that!"I shouted while I took the binoculars of his hands.Yes, we are stalking somone really important.So important that I have to drag my stupid friend,Led all the way here on that black mountains just to spy someone who would attend or not on my invitation.
"She's hopeless."I sight. I sit up straight and give back the stupid binoculars. "I'm going back,Led."
I gather some strength and just when I'm about to stand Led spoke.
"Are you giving up now?" I looked at him. "Wasn't it rude for someone important to receive an invitation to come to your 'overly called important birthday party' from some guard who looked like a barbarian?" He even tilt his head while saying this.
Seriously?What is he trying to prove?I just looked at him like I usually do when I don't get him at all.
"What I mean is...you have to give the invitation yourself."He lifts his eyebrows. "Personally."
What? "Not gonna happen,Leddo.By that I'll have 40% to 50% or whatever chances that..that she will reject me.Something like that.What if she personally rejects me?I don't know If I could ever talk to her again,personally!"
"Man,is this why you hate rejection?"He shook his head.
