CHAPTER 10

Eljin's POV

I went to the cafeteria to buy my snacks. "One gatorade, please!"

"What flavor?"

"The blue one." Someone said the same thing as I spoke.

I looked back and saw my seatmate, Andrei Earlock.

"Andrei!" I called.

"How's the feeling of carrying a fat girl?" I asked.

"Lol. What?" Andrei replied.

"Nothing." I giggled.

I went home after the practice. I lived in an exclusive subdivision in Gardenfield, California. Population: 10.

No one knows how rich I am. My dad is a king in a little country called Kingdom Animalae. My parents got divorced because my dad has a weird obsession with animals that he had no time for us anymore. So, my mom filed divorce and flew to Florida. She went home here in California without knowing that she was pregnant. My father, too was not informed.

That time, my mom landed on New Jersey because she was hospitalized and her relatives called for my mom's mom is dying. She went home having a baby on board.

In our flight, I am longing to come out of her womb already. She had no choice but to let me out.

Literally, I was born on the airplane, first class, seat number LG9. Luckily, there was a doctor on board who helped my mom.

I was named Eljin, Eljin Danford from the seat number where I was born, LG9.

Now, I am here in my mansion. I have nothing to do. I went up our spiral staircase which is 21 feet long. I went inside my room and turned on my computer on my vintage drawer which is given by my grandmom, who was once a queen in Kingdom Animalae which my father inherited.

It's a good thing I got most of my genes from my mom.

I logged into my Facebook account and here I am stalking Hurvy's profile again.

How come I haven't seen this post? Almost all of my classmates liked this so, I clicked "Like" and went back to my News Feed.

Wait a sec. That was posted two months ago! If this will pop out in his notifications, he might think that I am stalking him!!! Which is true in the first place... but I just don't want him to know.

Gosh. Gosh.

I hurriedly went back to his profile to unlike that stupid post.

Scroll.

Omg!!!

Scroll.

Omg!!!

All of the sudden, the power went out.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed shaking my computer as it died.

"Sweetie, can you please get the flashlight. It's brownout." My mom called from downstairs.

"Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed again.

The next day

"Why is Hurvy avoiding me?" I asked myself as I saw him stared at me but immediately walked away, pretending not to notice even though I was just a few meters away from him.

I hope that he won't think that I actually liked him.

Hurvy's POV

Eljin has a crush on me? I thought were just close friends. Why did she stalk my facebook account? All I wanted is some privacy... but she's a nice friend.

But wait, I feel different,  think I'm in... nah! It couldn't be.

The next day

"Okay, places everyone." Ms. Joline instructed. "Drummers, give me a beat."

Darum daran dun dun!... chug chug thud!... crash! boom! plack!

Eljin's POV

Wow, Yu is really good with the drums.

"So, here's what your gonna do." Ms. Joline told us, the flyers. "Do a fountain, frog, first floor then.. blah blah..."

I can't seem to understand what Ms. Joline is saying. I caught myself staring at Yu's teeny weeny tinsy winsy hazel eyes.

"Ok, let's start.1, 2, 3 go!" she said but it seemed that her words just popped out of my ear.

"Hey, Eljin!" Someone called. "Wake up!" It was Hurvy.

"Oh... huh? What?" My enchanting stare with Yu broke.

"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FLY!" Hurvy shouted at me. I was left hanging and speechless as Hurvy reminded me about reality.

Hurvy's POV

I layed my eyes on Eljin and she's still staring at Yu.

"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FLY!" I shouted at her but she didn't said anything.

"Are you still there?!?" I questioned.

"We're wasting time. Come on and do what Ms. Joline instructed!"

"So it's my fault that we're wasting time?" She argued. "Can't you see that I'm... familiarizing the beat of the drums." She told me as she gazed back at the drummers again.

"Well... familiarizing is over." I argued.

"You're just jealous." I heard her whispered to herself.

"Am I hearing something?"

"Nothing." She rolled her eyes.
