The Neighbors [ON HOLD]

Chapter 2

"Oh, umm....I a...I umm.....sorry for umm....barging in," I stuttered, scratching the back of my head.

He looked at me and a smirk ran across his face.

"I see that you're my new neighbor," he said without wiping off the smirk on his face. His eyes glistened in the dark and the tear that has been longing to escape his eyes fell off his cheek.

"It's not that I'm bothering you with all the drama right?" I asked.

A laugh escaped his lips, "Well, I can ask you the same thing. It's not that I'm bothering you with your sleep right? Wait, that's a stupid question. I AM bothering you because you're in your dora pyjamas and you barged into my appartment," he said with a look of amusement on his face.

I felt my face reddenned in embarrassment as I just remembered I was wearing pyjamas with a picture of dora all over it. Hey, I'm still a lady okay? Mentally not physically.

"Of course I know you're a lady. The existence of pikachu pyjamas made me crazy over it and I even bought it," he chuckled, releasing a deep tone.

My face reddenned more with embarrassment as I realized that I just said it out loud. Yet, within seconds, I couldn't resist anymore and joined the laugh with him. When the laughter subsided, I asked him something that will surely bring back the tension in the room.

"Can I ask? Umm...what made you cry?" I questioned shyly.

His expression changed. The tears in his eyes started developing. I slowly sat down beside him and tried to comfort him even if I didn't know the reason.

"Can...I just te-tell...you so-some d-day? If you have time you're always welcome in m-my...appartment," He replied as he tried to fight the tears leaking out from his eyes.

Curiosity really kills the cat. Great Kaitlyn, just great. You made him cry more. I nodded. I stood up and before I left, I didn't want to leave him without apologizing.

"I....I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked...." I stammered and gave him an apologetic look and discarded off the place.

RRRIIINNNGGG

And this is what I'm telling all of you about. Our dearest alarm clock who always crush your beautiful dreams especially when you're dreaming of your crush or a hot guy.

I looked at the calendar. It has been days since I last saw the pikachu guy. Yes, I know it's a weird nickname but you can't blame me if I was so stupid at that time and forgot to ask his name right? And yes I know that he's my neighbor but I assumed that he barely leaves his appartment. AND yes, I know he said that I'm always welcome at his appartment but it's still you know...awkward?

I shook my head and erased the thoughts in my head. I should be heading to school now.

----------~---------

"Pikachu guy? That's such a weird nickname, what the heck!?"

I couldn't help it but laugh at Anna's reaction, my best friend. We have been friends since young and I'm so glad to meet her in my life. Anna is a very pretty and hot girl too to be honest. Wait, don't call me a lesbian okay? I already had enough of people calling me immature because of my dora pyjamas which suprisingly the pikachu guy didn't call me.

"Psh, I'm not the only one Anna. You call me dora-loo. I mean like what is that? I get the dora part but I don't see why you need to include the loo part which simply means washroom," I responded as I gave her a sarcastic grin.

She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out.

"Keep it there darling. You've already been burnt and I'm sure you don't want to get burn again," I smiled as I closed her mouth and flipped my hair as a reaction of success.

"Shut up," she said as she slapped my arm playfully.

---------~---------

I walked down the hallway towards my appartment. I was about to turn the knob of my door when I heard a door creaked open. I looked to my left in a flash and the pikachu guy was revealed behind the door. I didn't know why but I felt delighted to see his presence again. I gave him a warm smile and walked towards him.

"Glad to see you again, I see," he said as he returned me the smile. "Since you're here, I hope you have the time and maybe I can tell you what made me cry couple of days back," he continued.

I wanted to reject the offer as I already felt bad about bringing up the topic last time. I agaped my mouth to say something but he cutted me off.

"It's okay, I insist," I bit my lip and thought about it before nodding my head slowly.

In an instant, he took my hand and I saw myself running down the hallway with him.

We ran towards a cafe. My eyes sparkled as the cafe looked grand and the tables and chairs were painted gold. There were gold decorations all over the place and the white walls outside the cafe made it stand out more. I looked at the guy beside me but he was looking in another direction.

"What are you looking at? Aren't we going in?"

He laughed and shook his head. What is wrong with him? What's so funny? He then pointed to a playground just near the cafe and I knew what he meant. He actually meant that we're going to the playground, not the cafe. That's what you get Kaitlyn for expecting so much.

He let go of my hand and strolled towards the swing. Wait, he was holding my hand? How can I not even notice that? Am I just really that stupid or....?

"It's okay, you can stand too. I mean, there's totally someone sitting beside me because they're invisible," he said sarcastically.

I spun my head around and faced him. Did I just made myself more embarrassed? I ran towards him and slapped him before saying, "You could have said there's a sit right?"

"Sorry! I didn't know you are just that blind. Look around, we're the only one here," he chuckled but his eyes looks like it's telling me that my slap agonized him.

I tried to hold my laughter as my handprint was on his cheek. Yup, it's THAT hard. That's why if you embarrass me, I'll get really angry and well...I can get a bit violent.

I sat down beside him and started swinging slowly and steady, not wanting to fall off because I don't want to get, you know the word, embarrass. I guess that word fits me well huh?

"I cried because my girlfriend left me." I halt to a stop and looked at him. "I know it sounds gay beause I'm a guy and guys don't usually cry but you can't blame me for being so in love with a girl, right? She was the one. Let me change that, she IS the one and I'm sure of it. She changed me into a better person and she was like the dream girl of every guys out there. It just hurts me that she broke up with me just because of a popular guy and it hurted me more to see her flirting with him right in front of my eyes. What is she that she can hurt me? Is there something wrong with me? But then, I don't know why but I still want her in my life."

I was taken aback and I felt speechless. And that was when I said something unexpected. Well, for me at least.

"I'll help you."

I found myself being engulfed by strong arms and he thanked me.

"BUT! Can I ask you one last question?" He looked at me puzzled and I continued with my sentence, "What's your name?" he chuckled and brought up his hand.

"I'm Evan Weston, ma'am," I gladly took his hand and shook it. "I'm Kaitlyn Woods, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you," I replied, pretending to have a British accent. We both laughed before he asked.

"So, when are we going to start?"

"Tomorrow."

And let the mission, begin.
