"Oh..." I sighed deeply seeing all the customized flag-designed shirts and customized black three-starred harlem pants scattered on the white-tiled floor as the handle of the beige paper bags loosen its ties and gave up. I tiredly picked each of individually when I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Wanna have some help?” I lifted my head seeing this beautiful creature with kissable lips revealing his shiny white teeth as he grins. His blue eyes met mine that carried me into the core of the ocean. “It’s a little bit messy here, and I think you can’t carry these stuffs with torn paper bags.” He continued while picking up the costumes on the floor.
“Th - thanks,” I’m out of words seeing his muscles revealed on his gray tees paired with a dark blue jeans and a pair of gray sneakers.
“Not a problem. Where are you heading?” he asked then stands tall with the pile of clothes in his arms.
“To - - to the convention hall” I responded quickly to avoid stuttering again but obviously I failed.
He chuckled then a deafening silence followed as we passed by the alley, yet he broke it.
“I’m Shone Watson and you are?”
Who the hell on earth doesn’t know you? Of course, I know you – I knew you for so long! “I’m Alice, Alice Adams.” I smiled a bit as he smiled sweetly that really tickles me. “Oh, thank God I managed to say it in front of his charming smile!”
We finally entered the convention hall and as I expected, everyone is staring at us. We both placed all the stuffs above the pale white table beside the stage.
“Nice to meet you, Alice.” He winked and exited the hall.
It seems he brought me to another dimension where we were the only people exist. Oh here I am again - - day-dreaming.
“Hey Alice! Oh my G! You’re with him! The gorgeous campus heartthrob Shone Watson! How did you two met? Why did he carry all the stuffs? AND only with his arms! By the way, did you get his number? Or, shall I say, did he get yours? He even winked at you Alice! Spill it up Lice! Spill it!” Chloe, my childhood best friend shook me with his hands in my shoulders while throwing all the “oh-my” questions.
“It’s a long story.” I barely said and sighed until I remember everything. “Hey! All of you! I called each one of you yet no one bothered to answer. I even waited for half an hour there at the shop!” I half-shouted with my tears flowing rapidly. I’m really hurt, tired and pressured. The group represents the university on the hip-hop dance competition after the week next two weeks.
The group hugged me as they all apologize. “At least Shone finally met you with no more than a hundred efforts!” Mary Claire whispered yet everyone can definitely hear it with a grin on her face. I stared at her with my so-called killer eyes, and there her twin Mary Anne signed a peace with her fingers grinning that result for all of us to laugh. Our laughs echoed around the convention hall. “Wait, where’s Drew?” I asked confusingly. They eyed each other.
“What am I missing here?” our trainer entered the hall holding is phone. “Alice had here little drama,” Harry answered with a laugh messing my black brownish long hair. “And became an angel by bringing the costumes here sir,” Marry Anne added tapping the table. “Good. Thanks Lice,” coach tapped me at my shoulder.
“And… with her dearest crush Shone,” Chloe teased.
"Very funny,” I responded sarcastically.
