What's new with a day to wake up in early because of those annoying old music in our neighbors, went to the window to see my handsome blind neighbor whose staring at the lamppost all day long..., I mean he's facing the lamppost since he can't see anything. Greet him with good morning, then he will ignore me and shut his window and went downstairs with my idiot twin Dexter whose pissing me off all day....

Such a pretty decent living in my 17 years of existence

"HALLEY GET READY! WE'RE HAVING DINNER AT THE HORAN'S HOUSE!"

I quickly wear my normal dress and pull my hair into bun, nothing's special occasion and I don't need to overdress since my handsome neighbor can't appreciate my look

Hey Halley! What are you talking about?! You wear simple dress since it's just a dinner okay?!

Nothing's more! Period!!!

I went downstairs and mom stare at me confusedly, what the heck she's staring about?

We went out and started walking at the pathway connected to them, while Dexter and I follow mom whose walking straight to their house, holding a basket full of our Filipino dishes

I gaze to my idiot twin whose staring at me like a hawk, and he's been like that all the way from here

"What is your problem?"I said really pissed off with my brother

"Then why are you here?" He said straight

"Obviously! Having dinner with the neighbors!" I said loudly

"Pshh... Behave" mom said as we stop at their door

"Haha... But you look like your going to a prom... What's up?... Haven't you move on?"

I look to myself and I'm just wearing my white lace dress and a white sandals

"But it's just simple!!!" I shout

"Silent!..."

"That's what you get... Simple butt!"

"Shut up... Both of you! ..."

I stick out my tongue to my brother whose being scolded by mom

He look at me like he was going to rip off my hair out of my head so I step backwards so he won't reach me

Suddenly the door swung open and Danna greet us good evening

We went inside and then I quickly tour my eyes, searching for him, but it's only Danna and the little kid who called me big Red Riding Hood whose very cute in his black long sleeve shirt

We spend our dinner discussing about ourselves and our town

After finishing our supper Danna and mom stay at the dining table talking with adults thing. While Dexter, Francis the little guy which I only know his name just a while ago and I, stay at the living area

I look at my surrounding and they are all busy doing their things, Dexter whose using his phone, Francis whose playing a Lego robot and me whose just sit at the couch for 15 minutes

I wonder if Francis brother will come down to eat, Danna didn't even mention him during our dinner

"Hey Francis!" Francis look up at me while putting down his toy

"What is it big Red Riding Hood?" I think he will never stop calling me that name

"Come here" I said patting the couch space next to me

He sit there and wait for me to talk awh what an obedient kid...

"Do your brother already eat?"

"You know Cole?!" He said widening his eyes

So his name was Cole? I will no longer name his as handsome blind neighbor...

"Not like that"

"Cole didn't went outside since we moved here, it's just like he lock up himself at his room, cutting off his contact with the humans"

Oh... I wasn't expecting that one

"So how do he eat?"

"Mom just left his food outside his door, he's not talking to mom... Even me... and he used to be my playmate back when he still have his vision... I missed him big Red Riding Hood"

I open my arms to Francis who saddened his face. then he move forward to hug me

"That's okay, I think Cole was just recovering... And maybe!... He'll talk to you soon the moment he wants too... How can someone resist this charm?!..."

I said lifting up his head and pinching his cheeks. He chuckle, removing the dark aura and lifting up the mood

"Thanks Big Red Riding Hood, it's nice to talk with you..." he said freeing himself in my arms

Awh.. what a cute little guy

"And I bet Cole will like you if he can see you"

After our unexpected conversation with Francis, we moved back to our house.

I'm lying in my bed, thinking about those things I've heard a while ago

Cole will like you if he can see you...

Cole will like you if he can see you...

Cole will like you if he can see you...

Nah! That won't happen even if he still have his vision

Please mind let me sleep...

And stop thinking about that one!!!
