A month have past. Everything's getting back to normal. Finally, I can celebrate the Christmas at ease.
Lanz already left. He's now in Miami again. But he'll return before Christmas. I am happy for Kristy and for my brother. They keep in touch, they always call each other on the phone, it even makes me cringe sometimes. That's why I always have an airpods to avoid hearing ther conversation.
After the party in Jake's house, I never see Ashton again. My mother said that a man named Ashton brought her car earlier. I don't know how my mother didn't notice that her honda is missing for a month. I think she's using her new Mercedes-Benz.
Anyway, my mother already talked with the school head. I'll transfer school. At first, I thought that since everything's getting back to normal, I'd be happy but something's really off. I want my life in California. I miss my friends, a lot.
I feel bad for Kristy but she said that she'll be okay since Lanz and Kristy plans to live together soon after the sem.
And since my brother doesn't want to go back in California, I'll live by myself. Good thing my dad agreed. So after new year's eve, I'll pack my things and ready to go. I'm really excited. I miss my boybestfriend, Giovanni and also my girlbestfriend Tifanny. For the past two years, they are still the one I talk to whenever I have problems. They are my childhood friends and we promise to build more memories together, soon.
I remember the times when, we are fighting because we three are having the same crush. And yes, Giovanni is gay. I remember giving my crush,Aion, cookies, Tifanny is giving him drinks and Vann giving him a shoes that his father gave him but it doen't fit. He's ridiculous.
I still remember how we kept silent whenever Giovanni's father look at us, smiling. He doesn't know that Giovanni is gay, until now, his family is clueless. That time, they thought that Vann is some kind of chick boy because Tifanny and I were always in their house, but in reality, we're playing barbies.

While most of the student my age are watching football game, here I am with Kristy, watching a horror movie at the mall. She's crying out in fear. Her reaction is really priceless. The movie is not that scary at all. But look at Kristy here, she can not breath normally out of fear.
After a few more minutes the movie is over. But Kristy doesn't get over yet. To get rid of fear, we went straight to the food court. After ordering I looked around. And who woudn't notice a group of football players and cheer dancers. Only a blind won't see giants with some minions around. How can the boys be that tall? They are all over six feet, for sure. And look at their muscles. If they aren't giants. They are from our school so I'm sort of aware of who they are.
Oh well, ofcourse there's Jessica. There's also Ashton. Wait, he's a football player? Cool. I only know their faces and their surnames from their uniform. But this is my first time seeing Ashton with them.
"Hey, you want Ashton to melt? Stop staring." Kristy said then lets out a laugh.
"How'd you know him? Ashton." I asked.
"How'd you not know him? He's a really good football player. And he's known for being handsome as hell but never had a girlfriend that we'll all think that he's gay. What do you think?"
"He looks straight to me tho. So he's probably not gay."
I was about to eat my burger when Ashton called me.
"Hey Kiela. I haven't seen you in awhile. How are you?" He said then sits beside me.
"Hey! Nice to see you again." I said and faked a smile.
His team mates are looking at me. Even the glares of the cheer dancers are making me uncomfortable now. I noticed awhile ago that Ashton is watching me eat but still, I took a bite of my burger and.. ugh I can't take it anymore.
"Could you please stop staring at me? I'm eating here, as you can see." I said in a low voice so that, Ashton's the only one who can hear.
"You also stared at me earlier." I was caught off guard. So he knew that I was staring at him. Embarassing.
"So what?" I was trying to be a tiger here but what I have become is a kitten.
"Alright, I'll leave you alone." He said while laughing. Not long after, he's now sitted in his original seat.
And here goes Kristy. "You never told me that you two were close." she giggled. I just looked at her innocently.
"We're not. He's just someone I know but we are not friends." I explained then look briefly on their table. Ashton is now chatting with Jessica.
"That's not what I saw in his eyes but if that's what you say then okay. But seriously it seems like he has a crush on you.He looked like a grade school student having a crush on a college one." She laughed.
"Hey stop, what if they heard you." I hissed. "Finish your food, we're leaving."
"Why are you in a hurry? I haven't even eaten half of my food yet." She pouted. Sometimes, you'll just think that I'm way older that Kristy. She complains a lot like a child.
A few minutes later, we're both ready to go. We walk passed Ashton's table and I sighed in relief because I will no longer experience being uncomforta--
"Hey Kiela." I was shock when Ashton calls me.
"Yes?" I asked then waited for his reply. He look nervous? Uncomfortable? I can't read him.
"Uhmm. Goodbye." He just said, embarassed, and was about to go back to their table but then, he changed his mind. "I'm actually about to.. Uhmm could you turn around, please." I did. "There you go. I just removed the note that they glued to your back. Sorry. You can leave now." I want to laugh at his reaction but I chose to keep it to myself.
I also wanna ask what is written on the paper but Ashton already crumpled it and threw it at Bryan.
"Let's go." Kristy pulled me away.

"Since we will not be able to watch you out. We will send a bodygua--"
"What? Why? I don't need a bodyguard mom." I protest.
"You will need it Kie. Who will protect you if someone broke in? And also, he's not just a bodyguard, okay? He will also be the one to cook for you. If he will not, then who? Can you?" Mom explained.
"Okay mom, let us say that, I really need it. But can't it be a woman? Mom you are trusting a man to watch me over. What if he rape--"
"He will not do that. I know him. He's not that kind of person. He gives respect to women. I trust this man and I hope that you will too." Said she.
"Who is he mom?"
"You will meet him when you get there." She said then winked.
