C7: Learn some, win some

After dinner, we headed home. Liz did too. I crashed on to my bed and that was it.

It took a couple of days again, like three or four, before I got to see the boys again. They were on their Europe tour; Paris to be exact.

I was just helping Aunt Karen with the chores at home. Most of the time, Allie and I just sat by the garden watching the sky. Sometimes, Liz and I would hang around for a couple of hours just doing our normal nothings. 4 days without the boys seemed like such a long time. I know, it’s kind of weird that I feel this way. I mean, I lived almost 18 years without even hanging out or at least knowing these people and now, it feels weird without them. I’ve just met them for 2 days. It feels like a month or so.

Whatever it is, I just wish they come back really soon. With them around, it just seems like there’s a lot going on.

It was Thursday evening and I had nothing to do. I was inside my room starting 4:00 pm. I left the door open, just in case Aunt Karen would call. Dinner was coming so I’m sure she’d call anytime. I checked my e-mails. I usually don’t do this but I just felt too bored. The most recent one came from the university I applied to.

Greetings, Ms. Laurent!

We would want to inform you that you have been accepted to this university under the Medicine Department. We are also very glad to inform you that your exam scores including your essay are outstanding. We look forward to seeing you this academic year 2014-2015.

Again, congratulations!

I forwarded the message to my mom. It made me happy to see that I passed one school already. I was happy but not ecstatic. Yes, this is related to the course thingy.

Anyway, since I just kept on scrolling and looking at the same thing over and over again, plus the fact that my eyes really hurt and I wouldn’t want to spoil my eyes, I decided to lay on my bed.

Back in the U.S., I used to sing when I got bored. I even have a sound cloud and YouTube account but you can’t tell they’re mine because I won’t let people I know hear me sing. I’m a bit of a shy kid. I’d rather have strangers listen to me. It’s weird right? I want to pursue a Hollywood career but I’m partly shy. Anyway, there, I sang while I was lying down.

I was singing “Reflection”, the theme song in Mulan. I love Disney songs and other classics.

“Wow, George! You didn’t tell us you could sing,” Liam said, standing by the door I left open.

“Omg, you’re here!” I sprung out of bed, shocked and a bit embarrassed because Liam heard me sing but I managed to hug him ‘cause I really did miss him.

“How’s Paris?”

“Pretty as it was before. The directioners there are amazing. Directioners are all amazing. They never fail to surprise us,”

I went back to my bed and sat there. He did too.

“They’d do anything for you guys. My best friend would wake me up so early just to tell me news about you guys,” I said, referring to Katie.

“Wait! Your best mate’s a directioner?” he said, shocked.

“Is that wrong?” I said sarcastically.

“Of course not. We should meet her one time,” he said.

“Have you told her we’re cousins?” he added.
