i see you || k.w

the intro

"Begging for Thread" by Banks played as I continued unpacking my boxes and bags. I just moved to the Bay Area. I had seen the most perfect guy on twitter, he lived here, and I was going to find him.

I'm not not trying to brag but I was rather pretty. Surely he'd go out with me. Okay, maybe not, but what's wrong with dreaming? They tell you to chase your dreams, but yet they don't want you to leave home.

"K, dinner is ready!" bellowed up the stairs.

"Coming!"

"Kariah, look what I found!"

"Ew Gosh Maylee"

"He's just little!"

"Mother get her out of my freaking face!"

"Kariah stop yelling at your sister!" my mother yelled.

I walked into the kitchen as Maylee put the snake back into the waterless fishtank where she was keeping it.

I ate my dinner in silence as I contemplated a plan to get Kalin White. I've been looking into this for awhile however, I'm not the reason we moved here.

We moved here because of my 18 yr old older brother Harrison, and my dad. My dad works with a construction company named Rock Mountain (RM) and my brother was forced to work there. About 3 months ago, after my brother had a pregnancy scare with his ex girlfriend , and being the good, moralistic family that we are he got in trouble. So, for his big punishment he had to work for RM, it just so happened they moved dad to San Francisco and Harrison had to come too.

My plan for Kalin has been in the works for around 9 months. Not only did I do research on Kalin, but also on his friends so that I could create a plan to "accidentally" meet him.

Here's my plan....

Kalin sings with Myles Parrish, who has a little brother named Jake. Jake has a friend named Cameron, who goes to the same high school that I'm enrolling in. So, I'm going to try to talk to Cameron. If I become friends with Cameron, I'll see Jake, then Myles, and then Kalin. Maybe it will happen simpler, who knows?

"Kariah, you haven't touched your chicken." my mother said.

Oh no I've zoned out too long.

"I'm not that hungry...can I eat the rest later?"

"Yes, K."

I went straight to my room, with no plans of finishing dinner.

I wanted to tell my mom all about Kalin, because I always told her everything. But, something was stopping me.

~~~

At 3 a.m I hear the strangest mumbling coming from Harrison's room. I've gotta go investigate.
I decided that if I really wanted to know I shouldn't knock.

I crept down the hallway. I slowly cracked open the door and peeked in. Only to find my brother kissing on a girl. A girl that I recognized, she was a friend of Kalin.

"Sorry to interrupt, but you're Kehlani, right?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you know about Kalin White?"

"I know that he wouldn't date a 10 year old."

I ran out, practically in tears. I was so hurt. I'm 17, I don't even look 10. I didn't even know what to do.

I heard Kehlani yell something and I believe she left. My brother came srtolling into my room attempting to comfort me. But, by this time I was beyond comfort. I was a pure wreck, I bawled, I kicked around, and I punched pillows.

My brother tried so hard to help me. The worst part was going to be school tomorrow.

"Riah, I'm so sorry about what she said."

"Whatever."

"Honestly, we starting fighting after you ran out and she left."

"You didn't have to do that."

"But, I did. And if you want Kalin then go for it!"

"Really Harr?"

"Yes, K."

Harrison got up to leave.

"Harr, wait!"

"Yes Riah?"

"I know we're a little old for this, but can I sleep with my big brother tonight?"

"Come on K."

We left my room. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was fast alseep. Let's see what tomorrow will bring...
