CHAPTER 1: First Meet
"Hey Zee" You are awakened by the knocks on the door. You groaned in response. "I'm going to visit your Aunt Cindy," Your mom said while she poke her head out of the door. "There's a pancake at the kitchen in case you get hungry, 'kay?" She walked towards the bed and kissed your forehead. "'kay.." You replied groggily.
Moments passed. You don't know how long you fell asleep again, you are woken from the blared of your phone. You reached out for it on the bedside table. A message from Chionne..
"Hey sleepyhead! :P See you later! Don't forget. 4pm. Oh, and shopping after. ;)"
Those were sent by around 12:15 pm. You gazed at your phone, the time registered 1:30 pm. You quickly jumped out of the bed and ran downstairs heading down to the kitchen. You took out the milk from the fridge and settled down at the counter.
Great. Pancakes and milk for lunch.
After eating, You hurried back to your room. You took off your clothes, throwing them at the laundry basket and walked inside the bathroom for a shower then brushed your teeth.
As you get ready, the alarm on your phone rang. You grabbed your phone and dismissed the alarm, it's 3:00pm. It's a habit of yours, you always set an alarm on your phone. You grab your bag and slung it over your shoulder and had a last and quick glance at yourself in the mirror.
Beautiful.
The mall is just 3 blocks away and is 15 to 20 minutes of walking, so you don't have to take your car. Besides, you love taking a walk.
You went inside a nearby store and bought a bottle of water, since you felt your throat instantly drying. You drink the bottled water then exited the store not minding to close the cap. As you turn to the left, you bumped into a large hard figure and almost lost your balance.
"Ow! What-!" You hissed, looking down at your wet shirt. Some stupid jerk is not looking on their way. Great. Almost half of the bottle of water spilled on your blouse.
"Seriously? Aren't you looking on your way?" You snapped. Wiping your blouse with a tissue.
"Whoa! Neither you are looking on your way." He retorted with a sarcasm in his tone. You rose your brow.
That's the time you look up and glared at him. Really, if you were not just pissed off at this Mr. No Manner you might appreciate his looks now. Kidding. Not with this kind of asshole. He's not your type!
Well, he got the looks anyway.. he has thick eyelashes and hazel eyes that stands out, his jaw were perfectly chiseled and his chocolate brown hair were tousled– but still not your type! He's wearing a shirt and shorts. On his left hand is a bottle of water.
So, he's jogging.
You don't care.
Gosh. You can't believe you still have time to scrutinize this jerk.
You realized you were gawking at him until he leaned over crossing his arms, you're only few inches apart. "What? Have you swallowed your tongue?" He smirked.
You shove him away from you. "Oh really! How nice of you! Thanks for your concern!" You scoffed and kick him in his shin.
He flinched. "Ow.." He muttered, rubbing his shin.
You crossed my arms. "You deserve it." You sneered and walked past him, head held high.
Asshole.

At the mall..
As you walk toward Chionne, she's been staring at the table blankly. She look up at you then her eyebrows creased upon seeing the wet spot on your blouse. "Hey! What happened?" She stood up and kissed you on the cheek. You've been best friends since birth. So you're like sisters from another mother.
"Ugh. Hi! Sorry I'm late." You replied giving her a sheepish smile. Pulling the chair beside you to sit down. "It's just some alien bumped into me while on my way here." You roll your eyes.
"Oh. And then?" she asked. Her eyebrows raised.
"Then what?" You eyebrows furrowed. Flabbergasted.
"Well, tell me. Is he.. hot?" She asked grinning at me. Wiggling her eyebrows.
You sigh deeply. Oh goodness. Just so you know, Chionne is really drooling over hot guys. Well, you can't blame her. Who wouldn't, right? But with that guy? No she can't. She must not.
"No. He's freakin' asshole! He didn't even bother to apologise." you murmur. "Gosh. I'm so pissed!"
"Oh Zee. Come on!" She roll her eyes. "I bet he's hot- no!" Pointing her finger. "–maybe smokin' hot! Right?" she teases, biting her bottom lip and her grin got wider.
"Jeez! Chione! Stop! You're giving me goosebumps!" you look at her with grimace while squeezing your arms. "Can't we just order now, please? Can we?" You retort in a sarcastic tone.
Gosh. Your best friend. Gone loony. Again.
~*~
You flop over the bed, you're so tired. After the late lunch-snack with Chionne you went shopping and nonstop walking. You glance at the clock hanging on the wall, it's 8:15 pm. Nobody's home yet aside from you.
Your mom is still at your Aunt Cindy's place- Chionne 's mom. Your mom and Aunt Cindy are associates in a clothing company, they've owned it for 5 years now. Your dad already passed away when you were younger. And of course, your brother– he's going home in a few days for his semestral break. He'll be graduating in college next year. And so are you, in highschool.
The moment you closed your eyes the incident of earlier suddenly flashed back, when you bumped into each other. Yeah you think he's.. no. You want to burn him to death so he'll be smokin' hot!
His mocking smile really pissing you off.
You want to punch him in the face-
"No! Maybe not in the face, his gorgeous face will be ruined." You say to yourself.
So what? There's a lot of good-looking and gentlemen out there. With good manners. You gritted your teeth.
"Geez. I'll smack him when I see him again." You whisper to your self. Clenching your fist.
