Hmpf .... it's already midnight , where is that stupid Amber ? I thought my mum told her to come and babysit me . Well, it might seem strange to babysit a 17-year old girl but hey mum worried about me . She was suppose to be here at 7 o'clock . Oh my gosh , did I heard my front door opened ? Where's the flash ? where ? Got it . Whoever you are , you have came into a wrong house !
BANG !
Huh ! I just hit her with all my strength with the frying pan . Hahaha, better call the police .
" Stop wait, help me " , I heard a painfull husky voice
" Why should I ? You are nobody than thief or robber . Wanna get somemore ? " , Yeah you wanna get more .
" I'M AMBER !! " , what ! did i heard she said she's Amber ?! I turned on the light and OMG she's really Amber .
" Oh ! I'm sorry . Are you alright ? " I asked panick . I should be , what if she get worse ?
" Yeah , sure I'm alright . You should get a taste of your own medicine and you'll know if I'm alright or not " , she said as she grabbed the frying pan from me . I yelped but I was too shocked to move . Say, she didn't hit me , she is patting my head . Yah ! Am I a dog ?
" How could I hit you, huh ? A sweet little girl should be sleeping now . Why are you still up ? " , she placed the frying pan back to the hook .
" I was waiting for you . Fool ! " , she said and glare at her.
" Aww .... that's so sweet of you . You don't have to next time . I got my own key , remember ? " , she said and hold up the keys swinging it in front of my face.
" Whatever , now since you here I should head to bed . And don't forget to lock the door, check the cooker , ....."
" Blah blah blah ..... I know ok . Now go to bed chop chop . " , she cutted me off. Sooo rude . Still , I go to bed and daze to dreamland as soon as I ly down on the bed.
AMBER'S POV :
Hah , that girl is freaking scary sometimes . But she's very brave to come down and face the stranger in the dark ! Ouch , remeber that ; hit such a strong girl . I 've just came from the hospital and now I hurt again . Aish......
The Next Morning :
The sun light shines through the window , revealing a 17 year old sleeping in a star shape on the bed . She groans and opens her eyes slowly .
" Morning already ? Time sure fly " , Krystal mumbled
She follows her daily routine - takes a shower, brushes her teeth , puts on some clothes , and goes downstairs to grab some breakfast before making a way to school which is 10 minutes walk from home.
" Amber ? " , she said when she smelled something nice, something delicious. When she approches the kitchen , she sees only a plate of pancakes with a glass of milk and a note on the table waiting for her. She grabs the note and read it a loud .
" Morning my sweet little girl . How was your sleep ? I'm sure you slept tight since I was in the house to make sure about your safety , ke ke . I had to leave early because I also got classes today , but I didn't forget to make you some delicious breakfast . Oh ! You have to finish it all up , ok ? And tell me how it is when you get to school . Alright , I guess I'll see you at school .
Have a safe trip .
Love,
Amber . "
Krystal giggles . She sits down and puts a big bite of pancake into her mouth .
" Hmm....it is good , I never know she can cook ! "
-------------------------
At school :
Students all along the hall way , chatting , laughing , and flirting with no worries . Krystal is also one of them , laughing with friends when a hot looking guy makes a way toward her.
" I think he's coming for you, Krys " , her nearest friend whispered and giggled .
" Hey, you must be Krystal , right ? " , he flashed a smile at Krystal .
Krystal nodded and remained silent . The boy starts to make the conversation again.
" Hi, I'm Minho. Nice to meet you " , he offered his hand to make a hand-shake . Krystal looks at his hand then to his face and chuckles . Suddenly, she noticed a presence of Amber is walking pass her . She runs to her babysitter with a shout of her name ,
" Amber ! Wait up " . Minho stands there, jawdropped still can't get the fact that he is humiliated by the girl named ' Krystal '
I guess she already has a boyfriend ! , Minho thought .
She links arm with Amber and leans her head on Amber's shoulder, smiling .
" So , how was breakfast ? " , Amber asked
" It was delicious ! The best one " , Krystal answered with a thumb-up .
" Even better than your mum ? " , Amber smirked
" No, just a little bit lower than my mum " . Suddenly , the bell rang signalling every students to get to their classes . Amber and Krystal separated their paths since they are in different grade .
3 o'clock , classes end :
" Finally, time to go home " , Krystal mumbled and stretched her body many times . And that's when she saw Amber's at the door smiling at her . She walks to Amber ,
" You are not going home ? " , Krystal asked since she noticed Amber walking with her even they get to the parted path.
" No, I'm going to your HOME " , Amber replied and wrapped her arm around Krystal's shoulder.
" Huh ? "
" What ? Can't I go ? "
" No , I mean yes you can. But why ? My mum will be home tonight " , Krystal pouted
" You'll know when you get there . " , Amber smiled
Krystal's house :
As Krystal opens the front door , she heard the singing followed by sprays
" Happy birthday to you , happy birthday to you . Happy birthday to Krystal , happy birthday to you . "
Krystal feels her tears drop down , racing one another.
" Happy birthday, I came to your house cux I was invited to the party " , Amber smiled and handed in her present she hided in her bagpack.
" Happy birthay ,sweetie . You officially turned 17 today . Starting tommorow, you'll be 18 . My gosh , it is so fast . Yesterday you was just a baby and now you, look at you - a beautiful teenage girl . Study hard , ok . I wish you all the best.
Alright , blow the candles and make a wish . " , her talked her thoughts out by some sort of crying .
The party started and ended happily . All of her friends are invited and she got many gifts. As it's getting darker, everyone begin to leave one after another. The only two people left are Amber and her mum who help clean up the mess.
---------------------------------------
Starting after Krystal's birthday :
Amber would walk Krystal home after school , tutor Krystal about Mathematics problems , or stay for dinner and even sleep over . She got mistaken as Krystal's boyfriend at school , but neither of is bothered by those rumors . In fact, something inside Krystal said that she is happy to be mistaken as Amber's girlfriend .
From days to days , they get closer and closer . The relationship is developed , Krystal is not sure whether she considered Amber as her sister like she used to or not.
In your very eyes , Amber finally graduated while Krys still have two years to go. On the graduation day , Amber looked so handsome in that piece of black clothes and the hat . Krystal also brought her a bunch of colorful flowers and ' congratulation ' word . What we find pretty surprising is when Krystal gave her a quick peck on the lip , well, not in public of course !
Ever since that day , their relationship tightened , they never said they are dating nor loving each other. Until one Chritmas day,
" Box of chocolate from me to you " , Amber gave a red box to Krystal .
" Thanks . I never get to return anything to you . " , Krystal said shyly .
" That's ok . All I want to do is make you happy. Let's sit here, the view is awesome , don't you think ? "
" Yeah, it's beautiful " , Krystal sat down and leaned her head on Amber's shoulder , enjoying the view of sparkling river.
" You know, krys. I think you should get youself a boyfriend . I never seen you have one since high school until now that you've been working for almost 2 years . "
That sudden words of Amber just sinked Krystal 's heart.
Why do I feel so hurt ? Is this what you call love ? I am loving Amber ? Krystal feels tears forming in her eyes , which shocked Amber like a bang in the head .
" Krystal , why ya cring ? Did I said something wrong ? " , Amber asked, panick
" Nothing . " , Krystal said shaking her head .
" Come on , tell me. I'm your best friend, right ? "
" You can only be my best friend ? Can it be more that ? I don't know what the hell I'm feeling right now , I just knew it hurts when you told me to get a boyfriend ! Why ? Does that mean I lo love you ? "
Amber sits there saying nothing , she looks into Krystal's teary eyes and grins resulting Krystal to ask for a reason . Amber immediately pulls Krystal for a hug .
" Let me answer it for you, you love me . I could hear your heart beating like a rock music in here "
" Hehe , I love you Amber . I really do love you . " , Krystal started laughing at her stupidness. " Promise we 'll never be apart . " , she pulled out her pinky
" Promised , my lil sweet girl. " , Amber pinky sweared and kiss Krystal like there's no tomorrow .
THE END
