Under the Palm Trees

December 18, Monday

Hello, bella mozzarella or should I say, diary!

Okay, so this day was also AWESOMAZING (there is no such day which is not awesome in Thailand)! So, I'll start from the beginning: 

First of all,  I got up at 9 am, had a nice shower (with my new shower gel that smells like coconut! yummy!), and dressed up nicely (today I went for an orange floral dress+ brown sandals combo. When I was ready to go, I went to my neighbor's door and knocked on it softly, not to wake him up if he is still asleep. Ethan opened the door right away, with a huge smile on his face. 

"Good morning my Hanna! How are you doing in this beautiful, warm morning?" Said, Ethan, leaning on to the wall next to the door. 

"I'm doing just fine! Hey, would you like to do something today, like hiking or snorkeling or something?  My parents are going surfing, so I thought it would be fun to do something!" I said, trying not to faint in my excitement. 

"Yeah, sure! Just give me a sec, I will have to call mom." said Ethan turning back into his room "You can come in if you want! Have an apple or banana!" said Ethan while dialing his mother's number. "Hey, mom! Look, I'll not go with you guys down to the beach, just go without me! I have a friend with me, so I'll go with her! Okay, bye, love you! Ok! Mhmm, of course, I'll take care of myself! Ok! Bye!" said Ethan into the phone.

"Okay, I'm done! Have you eaten breakfast yet? Cause I haven't and I'm starving! I know a good place near the beach, would you like to try it out?" said Ethan turning towards me. 

"Uhm, yeah, I am hungry too! Okay, let's try that place of yours!" I said trying to be cool...(okay, I don't know if it actually happened, but at least I'm trying!).

"Okay, then I have to go and pick up some stuff, and we are ready to go!" announced Ethan, while running into another room, which I suppose was the bathroom.

"Okay, just take your time!" I said picking up an apple from the box I brought yesterday. It's surprising that he didn't eat any of the fruits yet...maybe he just realized he didn't need them. 

I sat down on his bed and looked around the room. It was the same design as mine, just with his stuff all around the room. I can see a pair of socks, jeans, shirts, books, a phone, an iPad and a headphone. I went over to the book (okay, I know, I am a nerd...) and picked it up. It was the Lord of Flies, which, in fact, is one of my favorite books! Wow, I'll have to ask him which boy is his favorite! He didn't tell me that he liked reading! Whatever. 

After I looked at the book, I went over to his phone and looked at it. It was an iPhone 6, just like mine, just a different color; his was black, while mine was actually rose gold. Not on purpose, but I happened to open the phone, and saw this wallpaper. It was a black and white photograph of a girl and him kissing. OH, MY LORD! HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND! I just dropped the phone on the floor and opened my mouth in shock. Why do terrible things only happen to me, oh Mother Earth? I finally liked a guy (whom I can normally talk to), and this happens! Okay, whatever, I understand. I will never get what I want. Whatever, I'll just commit suicide so I won't bother anyone by living. As I was thinking about how to end my life with no one noticing, Ethan came back into the bedroom and sat down next to me on the bed. 

"Hey...Are you ok?" said Ethan, with a kind and soft voice. 

"Yeah, I'm totally fine...just thought about my grandma, who died a few years ago. This hat khm reminded me of her..." I said, thinking that lying to him was the best option, than telling the truth.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know...would you like to have some alone time and postpone the breakfast? I'm totally fine with that if it works for you..."
