WAIT

Chapter One

    Walking down from the apartment or flat-whatever you call it, I threw the black plastic full of trash onto the dustbin. Washing my hands on the pipe attached on the wall, I heard a car drove past the junction and saw a Black Subaru parked beside our parking lot. Each apartment renter has their own parking. “Is it a new neighbour?” I thought excitedly.  I can’t help but to felt giddy and jumpy inside.

It feels like forever since we had moved in here. Our last neighbour was practically an old but nice couple. Thank goodness, they aren’t that usual meanie old couple who lived with 4 cats. After one year we had lived here, they moved out to live with their son at the village. And now, it was so odd for having a new neighbour.

I walked slowly, as I innocently looked around just to peek at their family members. They are the parents (obviously), three boys and two girls. One of the boys looked eerily the same age like me.

I was too busy observing them that I hadn’t realise there was a wall in front of me. I clumsily, bumped onto it and fell on my bum. “Ow!” I cried, feeling the impact from it. I stood up and wipe off the imaginary dust on my jeans.

“Are you okay?” I heard a deep, low voice behind me. I hesitant to turned around so I took off running upstairs, feeling stupid for doing it.

He probably thinks I’m a social awkward person, I thought. Or maybe he thinks I’m weird.

 

I slammed shut the door behind me, and eavesdropped on the door. Does he run after me?? Oh my god, I’m starting to be paranoid! “Like what are you doing?”  My head automatically shot back and looked at my sister, Autumn. “I- um- there’s a cat catch- I mean chasing me!” I stuttered, but then grinned innocently at her. 

“Really? Because the last time I saw, it was you that chased the cat away.” Damn it, I totally forgot about that! “Ye-yeah, but today the cat bring along several evil cats.” I replied, confidently and continue, “Yeah really evil cats.” 

“You’re lying, it’s totally a lie.” She gave me her, I-don’t-care look. “I am not!” I spoke up; rather offended (which isn’t necessary). She rolled her eyes, “Spill the beans out.” Feeling defeated, I sighed and told her about the new neighbour.

She shout-whispered me, “Why don’t you tell me earlier? Oh my gosh, let’s meet them!” She exclaimed. “No! Oh my god you’re embarrassing me!” I gawked at her in disbelief. “I know you want to.” She wiggled her eyebrows.

Autumn then pulled my hand and out we go. I tried to wiggle my arm like a worm. Ugh, she is way stronger than me. I then stretched my arm, trying to grab the edge of the table. Okay just a little bit more. Yeah, you go girl! Let me just---

Nope! She had succeeded! Seriously, that table isn’t helping me out. I’ll get you later, table. I’ll burn you, BURN.  BURN YOU INTO ASHES!! Gosh, I sound like some crazy chick.

 We finally arrived at the basement. The car had vanished but the siblings were still standing – alive – exactly where they were 25 minutes ago. One, two- three’s missing. Chloe dragged me and walked further near them.

I saw the boy with freckles took noticed of us and signalled the others. They all turned around and stared at us. They probably thought we’re some crazy weird girls, chasing for their money. I’m feeling a bit unconscious now, help me, please! You there, help me. Old man! Old maaaaaaan!!!

“Hi, I’m Autumn Caine and we are your next door neighbour,” She beamed rather excitedly. “And this is my baby sister, Winter Caine!” She pulled the hem of my shirt so I was now beside her, not beside the hard – concrete pillar.

They watched her, completely bewildered by her sudden outburst. Please, slapped me now or just call the 911. Wait- no that’s the Police station’s number. What about the Ambulance-

“You’re creeping us out, Eve.” Snapping out from my own trance, I looked at her. “Huh? What?” I asked her, confused. “You’re talking with that gross ground about Police or something.” My cheeks probably burnt as red as the tomato. “Sorry.”

She just shrugged it off and continued talking with them (mostly with the freckle boy). My eyes wandered around the basement, and actually found it a bit entertaining.

But then, my gazed brought back to one of the familiar husky voice. “So basically all of your names were based on the four seasons?” The same boy asked me.

My parents thought it would be ‘cool’ if our names were based on seasons. But no, it is actually weird.

My sister's name is Autumn Emmeline Caine, while the younger ones – which also a girl – named Summer Emerald Caine. And here I was born as Winter Evangeline Caine. Thank goodness there is no Spring Tropical or whatnots or we’ll be called as the ‘Four Weird Seasons Sisters’.

I nodded, “Yeah, but we’re still human.” He chuckled, “Well since you were on your own little world while ago let me introduce my army troops.” “That is Channing Tatum Bolter.” He gestured towards the freckle boy. “This is Heidi Klum Bolter.” He pointed at the pure-diamond haired girl beside him. She waved then briefly hugged me. “The other two were gone with my parents. They are Alex Pettyfer Bolter and Jennifer Aniston Bolter.” He smiled. “Finally it’s me Jensen Ackles Bolter.”

As he finished talking, I end up laughing my head off. “Your parents named all of you based on famous celebrities and models?” I said through my laugh. “Pfft, it’s even better than your name.” He rolled his eyes - which is adorable by the way- I laughed again and end up like a dying seal. “O-oh my gosh c-can’t breathe!”  I restrained myself and calmly breathing in and out.

“At least my name isn’t some common names like John, Jake-” He trailed off, then I immediately piped in, “and Bob yeah Bob.” I said with a sassy voice, pursing my lips whilst nodding slowly. He gave me the what-are-you-talking-about look. “It’s not even a common name.” I gasped dramatically, “It is a common name! My friend’s name is Bob wait- no he’s name is Bobby but whatever, at least my bed’s name is Bob.”

“You named your bed?” His eyes were wide, completely not believing me. “Duh, it’s necessary.”  I replied as if it’s the most obvious thing in this universe. “Why would you do that?” He was utterly confused.

“I need to greet him every time I got home and be like ‘Bob I miss you dearly!’ then, jumped and snuggled with him.” I said flatly, “He’s my husband that never dies.”

“Yeah, cause it dies already.” He snorted.
