I sat down on the inside bleachers, letting my eyes roam around the indoor court. Scanning for a certain figure. When my eyes caught the target in sight, I couldn't help but smile.
Minji was already waving at me and mouthing words I couldn't comprehend. Wasn't she just so cute? She made a heart with her hands and threw the heart at me, I couldn't help but smile at the cute little gesture.
And before you guys ask, we're just friends...well...at least trying to stay that way. We throw hearts at each other every now and then but it's just that. I don't think either of us really acknowledge what we do as more than friends.
I gave her a thumbs up in a way to encourage her to do well. I wouldn't want her to loose the game, it means a lot to her.
She had invited me to go support her at her game today, but little Ms. Loser, forgot that I'm the cheer captain. So I have to be here regardless. Many people were surprised to see me here at the bleachers and not down there with the rest of the girls, after all, I never go out of my way and support the teams like this.
Minji was just..special.
Special in the kind of way that I would do things for even if I'm not used to doing them, you know?
Everything with Minji is just a natural pull that comes along with feelings that have me sitting and pondering on my life, it's confusing and complicated.
Have you ever felt that attraction to someone, where it's either you think of them as a friend that you just really want to get to know, or you think of them as your possible future lover?
I have, and that person is Minji, and if I'm honest, I'm not really against any of it. It's new in its own way, new sense of feelings come along with her and I'm not at all mad about it. The feelings are nice and welcoming. So different to what I'm used to.
I know I say that we're just friends all the time, but more than half of the school thinks that we're dating. And I don't blame them. Even from a certain angle I start to see why.
Minji tends to act like the protective and caring girlfriend that follows me everywhere and just joins me at my hobbies whenever I let her, which is always by the way. She even comes to my cheer practices! Who would do that for me? No one! Besides Minji.
And then I do the same exact thing, just that I act like the most jealous bitch ever some of the times...okay, I mean always. But it's because these girls have no freaking shame! They're all over Minji, touching her strong arms teasingly, playing with that thick hair, intertwining hand, and even touching her abs. Her abs! And all right in front of me.
Maybe I should smooch Minji in front of the whole school...see! I'm loosing it!
Remember my cousin Danielle? Yeah, that annoying little Aussie girl that wouldn't leave me alone about Minji. That one. She's starting to pick up on what I may or may not feel for Minji and it's not good.
She's the reason why the rumor even started! Danielle just can't keep her mouth shut sometimes. The whole school heard her say that me and Minji make a cute couple, I agree but she didn't have to say it that loudly!
Anyway!
The whistle blowed and the game started, my eyes locked on Minji. She dribbled left to right, breaking ankles? That's what she told me, and yes. I've been learning about basketball just for Minji to rant to me about what happens at practice and on games. Seeing her brown eyes shine just makes me so happy.
You should see her when she talks about music, she's a whole other person. But in a good way.
My eyes drifted to the side and saw my nemesis, Sullyoon. She's pretty, and unbelievably smart. From what I've heard, she has the fattest crush on Minji since sophomore year. We're now seniors...that's not good.
And I shouldn't even be feeling the slightest bit of jealousy. Me and Minji have only been friends for a month or two. Maybe three. And we've both settled down as just friends, who are trying to forget about our second encounter where we were on each other like animals on that dance floor.
Is it crazy that I could still feel Minji dancing against me, her strong form behind me as her hands held my waist? It feels as if it was a scene pulled out of a movie or something. Maybe Danielle is right, life is just a story and we're the characters.
So whoever is writing my story, please let that Sullyoon girl walk away from Minji, like, please! And leave me the crown!
What am I saying?
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the crowd go crazy, I looked up to see Minji celebrating. I quickly stood up and started to applause. Minji looked for me in the crowd of tall people. I could see the little frown on her face when she didn't find me and I couldn't help but smile.
I was the first to sit down, still being able to peek at Minji through the little open spaces between the people that still celebrated. I could only shake my head as Minji did a little victory dance.
But my smile was wiped off my face when I saw Sullyoon cheering as if there was no tomorrow, I could see Danielle giving her the world's dirtiest look, and I wanted to laugh so bad. Because what the heck? Minji's told me thousands of time that she'd never be interested in someone who tries to draw her attention, in a way of forcing it.
As the game continued, I found myself loosing my he track of time while my thoughts took over.
Do I like her? Yes, maybe a little too much for my own good. But would I get with her? I don't know. I promised myself to never get in another relationship during high school or any time while I'm still in school. I don't have the time for any of that.
But Minji has always been different, since the start. There are things I truly consider when it comes to Minji, I have second thoughts of them and I let myself give in it just for Minji. Could a relationship be the same?
I shook my head as I looked up to see that it was now halftime, and by the looks of the scoreboard, our school was winning. I looked back at the court and saw Minji looking directly at me.
Completely ignoring the girls that were going to interview her, as the new captain of the basketball team. I stared back at her, letting myself fall in to the moment while it lasted.
I could see the yearn for me and it scared me. If Minji ever manages to fall for me any deeper than she already has, I'm doomed. I would explode like a bomb, because how is it that Minji only finds herself liking me even more?
We've labeled ourselves as friends, but we don't seem to act that way. It may be going to fast but neither or can really control it. Not when you two are like magnets attracted to one another.
Like I get it, I kiss her cheeks everytime I'm able to and what not, and give her unnecessary long lasting hugs, and also buy her some Hotwheels because she likes to collect them. Okay, maybe I'm also making her fall for me but it wouldn't hurt to be with her, right? Or will she be a "friend" for as long as we breathe.
And she also has some fault in all of this, how dare she make me feel like a queen and threat me like in everytime she's able to. Who else would walk me to every class, hold my stuff, buy me coffee or any caffeine drink every morning, pick me up and drop me off at home, and give me a rose everyday after school that it now makes me look like a rose collector?
At this point maybe the whole world thinks we're together?
Ugh, Minji Kim, what are you to me?
