I was awoken by extremely loud Korean music playing. I got up and staggered to the window. Samantha. She was actually dancing. She looked so beautiful. She also sang along with the K-pop. She is multilingual after all. I shook my head. If I do like her, I wasn’t going to show it. As soon as the song finished, I started clapping to get her attention. She turned around and the once fluttery butterfly, turned into a killing beast. She frowned upon me.
“That was so beautiful I almost cried tears of joy.” I snarled sarcastically.
“Go suck your girlfriends face.” She shot back.
“Ooooo. Feisty are we?” I teased.
What am I doing?
I don’t know. But keep it up.
She picked up a pillow and flung it at me. I ducked and it hit my wall on the other side of the room. Wow, she has a good throwing arm.
“Nice throw.” I smirked.
“What do you want?!” she yelled.
“Oh, nothing. Really. Just checking to make sure you got that wonderful cake your new neighbor made. Now there will be two of us to torture you.” I lied but said with confidence that the guy was on my side.
She did a half-hearted laugh, then said, “Yeah…sure. I know the neighbor I met, and ate ice-cream with, would never even socialize with an ass like you.”
I almost flinched.
She went with HIM to Harry’s?!
Don’t blow it. You’re almost there.
But-…
No! You will not lose this time!
Yes sir…
“So you met the loser? Wow. Now another creep to add to your crew. Wonderful. Someone call the circus…cause a whole set of carnies ran away and I think one of them is trying to make contact with me.” I grinned.
She stiffened and the corner of her lip did that twitch thing it normally did when I know I’ve won.
“So what’s this ones’ nick name? Jamie-poo?” I pressed on.
Her eyes opened wide in shock. I probably shouldn’t have hinted that I heard their convocation in the hall earlier today, but I was on a roll!
“Does he get to learn the stupid handshake you freaks always do?” I pushed on further.
Her fists kept on curling and un-curling. Her whole body was quivering, now.
“Or is he now the boyfriend of the ring leader, and main freak, which is…you?”
And with that last one she broke.
“Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!!! GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF!” She yelled and covered her ears to block me out.
“Ali!” I heard a male voice yell in the distance of her house.
“Are you alright?!” The voice yelled again.
Samantha kept on shaking her head as she rested her back on her wall and slid down to sit on the floor, trying to tell herself that she had not just lost. A devious grin crawled its way up onto my lips. It felt so good, yet so wrong at the same time.
Brad, my man. You have finally awakened from your slumber. Welcome back.
That slumber was prolonged for far too long. It’s good to be back to the way I was before.
