Note : Italic is Amber's thought
-----------------------------------
When I get to her room, she doesn't speak. The room is dead silent except for the sounds of pushing and pulling drawers.
" Here " , she hands over -
" Nightgown ?! " , I was shocked . She really want me to wear that ?
" What's wrong with it ? " , she asked clueless.
" It's a dress ! "
" So ? " , Urghhh.....
" I don't wear dresses, they are uncomfortable. I can't sleep with this ! ", I pointed at the nightgown in her hand.
" You don't ? Too bad because I don't have anything beside it " , she shrugged.
" Perhaps T-shirts, shorts, or pants ? "
" I'm not sure if they fit you "
" Duh.... for your information, I'm thinner than you "
" Yeah right. Well, they are in the closet, find them yourself. I need to go to the bathroom " , she said as she walked off.
" Warn me before you come out " , I said in a serious tone.
I push myself off the bed and head to her closet. What amazed me is she has a lot of SKIRTS !! Man, how many shirks does she have ? 5 pants ! The rest are skirts !? Well, actually those pants are skinny jeans ! What am I suppose to wear for sleeping tonight ?
" Found what you want yet ? " , Krystal popped up behind my back. Her head is on my shoulder and her breath just sent chill to my spine. Brrr.....
" Wahh " , I almost scream.
" Sheeh it just me " , she rolled her eyes.
" You're getting like Luna " , I pinched her nose.
" How come ? ", she looked curious.
" She always pop up like a ghost. " , I earned a slap on my arm .
" You mean I'm a ghost ? " , she pouted .
" Haha....you said it yourself "
" Whatever. I'm off to bed now " , she walked to her bed.
" Wait. Ehm.....er......I don't have anything to wear " , I said shyly. She stares at me. What did I do ?
" Everything in your closet is- " , she cut me off
" is what ? " , she looked annoyed. Geez......where are you rushing to ?
" They are all skirts and skinnes ! "
" So ? " , she still don't get it ?
" So ? So ? So I can't wear it ! "
" Are you shouting at me ? " , she frowned and glared at me. Scary
" Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. " , I lowered my head .
" That's ok, you're forgiven " , she smiled. Phew....
" Well........I guess I'll just sleep in this outfit " , then I jumped onto the bed.
Krystal seems to try to avoid me. Why ? We're both girls !
" I miss our old time , Krys " , I closed my eyes.
" But I forgot all about it " , she said carelessly. I opened my eyes and look at her. I feel so disappointed.
" Hey, I'm only kidding. No one would forget the moments with you " , she pinched no squeezed both of my
cheeks. Hearing her words made me feel so special.
" How did we first meet ? " , I asked.
" You came to me " , she's looking up at the ceiling.
--Flashback
April, 2005
" Good morning class. Today is our first meet and I've brought you two new students. Please welcome our new classmates " , the teacher smiled.
Two figures that were hiding behind the teacher's back walked into the front. First one to greet is a girl.
" Hello everybody . My name is Amber Liu. Nice to meet you " .
Followed by a male student .
" Hi, I'm Minho. Please to meet you all " .
" Alright, you two go sit at empty seats over there " , the teacher pointed at the seats in the back.
-------------------------
" Oh now I just remember about Taemin " , Krystal giggled.
" How come you remember about him ? I haven't brought him into the story yet " , I asked in confusion.
" His face is so cute. Actually, he was cute. I never seen such a cute boy " , Krystal grinned. Yah ! He was way too cute to be a boy ! He was like a gay ! Hmpf....
" Amber ? Amber ? Earth to Amber ? " , I feel somebody is shaking violently. Oh, Krystal .
" Ok continue the story . Don't interrupt me next time " , I beamed my eyes at her. She smiled cutely and nodded.
----------------------------
" Hi, I'm Taemin. Nice to meet you " , a boy who was sitting in front of Minho talked to us.
" Oh Hi " , I smiled bitterly at him. I was really nervous.
Minho nodded acknowledged. Although he is a spoiled brat, he's a close friend of mine.
" And this is Krystal. She doesn't talk much to strangers so don't mind her " , Taemin grabbed Krystal and forcefully turned her to look at us.
" Hi ", she said coldly before turning back to her recent position.
I was shocked of her beauty. She is very pretty and cute, though she didn't talk much. Her voice is like a music to my ears. I glanced at Minho to see him stunned. I nudged him and then he jerked up a bit in surprise. Yo where have you been ?
" Huh ? " , he looked at me. Just then, the bell ring signalling us to have a break.
Minho drugged me out of the classroom to the end of the hallway where we were there alone.
" Hey hey, what's with the rush ? " , I asked curiously and slapped his hand off my wrist.
" You seen that girl ? " , he asked in rather enthusiastic tone.
" Yeah ,and ? " , anything in particular about her ?
" She's gorgeous ! Didn't you see ? Ho my life , I've never seen such a pretty girl " , he squirmed which I don't usually see. Suddenly an idea hit me , * gasp * don't tell me he fell in love ?! That's impossible.
" I think I like her " , he said
" Like her ? You like her already ? But we don't know anything about her yet except for her name which she didn't say it by herself and wasn't happy to talk to us. It's just too sudden " , I stared at him unbelievably.
" Haven't you heard of love in first sight ? "
" Yeah I have. But in your condition, I can't trust you. Every time you saw someone pretty, she's your first
love. Always ! And I totally sick of it " , I huffed and about to left. When he grabbed my wrist again and begged me like I'm his mum or something.
" Please help me buddy. You ganna help me. I love this girl for real, all my words are sincere " . He tried to give me puppy eyes but fail since he never beg anyone except me . Why ? Who am I that he should beg ? It is because I, Amber Liu, helped him get the girl he love. I remembered last two month when he asked my friend out and I guess it didn't went well since he got humiliated in front of the whole school. It's the reason why I being transferred to this school, he paid all the payments only to get me study with him. People mistook us as couple yet that won't possibly happen.
" Alright alright. I'll talk to her and this is the last time ", I said after thinking . Maybe it won't hurt at all.
" I know you would, I love you Amber. You're the best " , he bear hugged me in a vary eye. Feeling irritated, I looked at the classroom what caught my eyes was KRYSTAL . She apparently staring at me and smirked. Then, walked back into the classroom. Aish, this girl. It will be harder than I thought.
The bell rang again, Minho and I broke the hug. He happily walked into the classroom while I have this expressionless mask over my face all the time.
" Hey if you don't smile, how can you talk to her ? She might think you're rude and- " , he whispered close to my ears.
" Yeah yeah I know. Stop your nonsense speaking. I know what to do " , i rolled eyes at him and sit down in my seat.
----------------------
" You and Minho weren't couple ? " , Krystal asked surprised.
" No we weren't and will not " , I chuckled through my answer.
" And he loved me ? That's ridiculous "
" You think so ? I thought so but when I knew that he really mean it. I helped him to get you, but poor him didn't get a chance to be close to you " , I laughed.
" Your friend hurt and you laugh ? What a friend, I feel so sorry for him " , Krystal shook her head.
" Hey, the one that should be sorry for is me " , I poked her head.
" Continue the story " , she said childishly.
" * yawn *. I'm sleepy now. I will continue it next time so stay tune " , I wrapped my arm around her waist.
" Am-" ,
I pretend to snore just to annoy her keke.
" Sheesh ! " , she hissed before drifted into a sleep.
