So Close Yet So Far

That Annoying Girl Next Door

"Yeah, if you're that surprised that I live here, I live next an annoying girl!" Another shoot of cappucino, he just smiles and says, "She lives directly across my bedroom, " another shoot, "She just moved in this year and she sings like Justin Bieber had a sore throat and transferred his voice to her... Every Friday night!" And the last one, by the time I was done the cleaner was glaring lasers into my eyes. She comes over and cleans it while Jade and Kim Sul laugh at me because of my cappucino shooter mouth. Jade was smacking the table while she was out of breath and Kim Sul fell down on the floor spread with bleach and floor cleaner. In the middle of laughing, Kim Sul says, "Why do you keep on spitting cappucino like a Pea Shooter?" I was just there with a red face. I didn't wanna say it, I was too worried whether or not he'll laugh at me, because I was that girl... And I didn't even know. 

"Well, you're not the only one who lives across her, me and Liesel are roomates." She then sends me a text.

You better look out the window before you leave the house. And don't head straight home today, come to my house when we walk home, then you'll stay in my room while I check for Kim, K?

I had to be thankful that I had Jade with me, because I would have become a tomato. Then Kim goes and says, "Why don't we walk home together? I never got know you, Jade." So...looks like the plan was foiled, I had to frickin' spend 10 minutes with this guy but seriously, I can't even spend 5 seconds. Because I once was in elementary and me and Jade were in bikes at the back of our school when we were talking and I saw Kim Sul at the corner of my eye but I never really cared if  he was so much as 2 meters beside me because only my heart flutters when I see him. But he proceeded towards us to talk to Jade and then once I realized he came I said that I couldn't take it and cycled to the other side when he went to the other side to go to the store. So I was confused and then cycled all the way back.

I kept quiet the whole time as we walked to Jade's house, I looked down the whole time so I ran into 5 poles, 3 fences and fell down tangled in my own feet. Looking at how clumsy I was the whole time, Jade sends me another text.

Dude, chill! Kim'll notice!!

 

EASY FOR U TO SAY, U DONT LIVE NEXT TO SOMEONE WHO HATES YOU!

It made sense and she stopped, we arrived and then I ran into Jade's glass door. Like and idiot, with my face rose red and my body flimsy, I open the door and ran up to her room and flopped onto the bed like a patty on a grill. I smothered my face on the pillow. Then, they walk in to the room. I hear nothing because I was too engrossed in embarrasing myself.

I ended up sleeping and spend the night. Jade called my mom and said that I had a slight headache. I didn't have an alarm so I skipped school that day and I sent Jade with an alibi. I wake up and find Kim Sul at the side of the bed sitting head down. I think t o myself why he might have been there the whole time, I just sit up in bed and find myself tumbling onto the side which I flopped myself onto Kim Sul. I quickly get up and realize... Oh, my, god; Did he spend the whole night here because he wanted to look after me? I ignore the thought, I put my hand on his hair, I never thought I'd be able to be this close to him and see his beautiful face up so close. I shake his shoulders but he doesn't wake up, too sound asleep, I guess. Jade then sends a text:

I asked Kim Sul to stay because I was worried about you, just cook some breakfast first, my mom isn't home right now! Then sneak off into your house before this gets anymore complicated!

I hear a groaning sound and turn to see Kim scratching his head, in panic, I throw my phone up in the air and lands on the bed. "So, what happened last night? You just completely went sound asleep... No fun," I don't answer and run towards the back door and use the spare key Jade gave to me, sweet isn't it? And open the back door which then led me to a fence that led to my house. So I run and run as fast I could to my back door and run up my room and fish for my notebook. I just scribbled a bunch of words, that notebook above all notebooks was my notebook and 'Diary'. But I don't do the 'Dear Diary' I just write down my feelings then think about it later. "Oh, no...I left my phone on Jade's bed..." My clumsiness just keeps on getting better doesn't it?

I run all the way back to Jade's house and let myself inside to see Mrs Agnes back home, I just sprint to the stairs when she suddenly says, "Oh, Lizzy. Are you looking for your phone?" I was thankful to her, "Yes, where is it?" Then, not so thankful,

"It was with that boy that spent the night here." I facepalm. I don't know what to do. I have never ever knocked on a boy's door,  ever. But I guess that has to change for now. I nervously step out and walk to the house next to mine, I knock on the door and hear words that I don't understand but recongnize...Korean? Well, it makes sense, Kim Sul is Korean. The man who seemed to be his father opens the door and says in English, "Yes?" I take a gulp of air into my throat as this man was as charming as his son but that also means that he has the brawns, "I'm looking for your son, he has my phone." He calls for him but he doesn't come down. The father was kind enough to let me in and wake him up myself, how rare. I walk up to his room and knock on the door, but no answer. I let myself in and see him sprawled on to the floor with my phone in his pocket. I take a deep breath and slide my hands into the pocket and grab my phone. 

I thought I was done but then I feel a couple of hands grabbing me and pinning me down on the floor, "All you needed to do was ask, but no, you walk into my room so carelessly and just put your hands on these jeans?" 

"Well, It's my phone, isn't it?" I can't hold my laughter, i don't know why but I just laughed because the temptation to kick his nuts was so great that I actually raised my knees and, "AH!" he flips himself off and I run to the door. I thought to throughout the seven crushes I've had through my sixteen years of life, he was the only one that stuck to me since my second last year in elementary. All the other six became just a boy that I brushed against. Because I talked to them and got used to them. Maybe now it's Kim Sul's turn.
