" So you're telling me that you met a strange girl in the woods where at the park was it? And you hid in the bushes. and she didn't even yell at you? and another guy?"
to signify that his brain cells was hurting with the conversation, he pinched the little bridge between his eyebrows.
" Caspian it's not even that bad."
He rested his hand on his head, and he laid his head down on his hand, giving me a stare.
I sipped on my drink pretending like it not bothering me.
He continued giving me his stare, as if it was going to bother me.
" Okay maybe it is a little bit of that bad."
" Just a little, " He squinted his eyes at me.
I ran. Air circulating through my body, as if the ground from my feet is going to hurt and my muscles feel like they're going to bruise.
I get home eventually. I felt my wrist as if the idea of my watch coming to my head , so I checked my wrist.
5:55
Instead of going in like a normal person should I slide down the door. Feeling the new paint up against my brownish curls, I rest my eyes for a minute.
Then she raced away through my mind again. I just wonder who that guy is.
This was all just a flashback from meeting with her.
I stare up at ceiling thinking about some things. I ponder about which book I should read.
The romance one that catches my attention as if I should read it but then again I scrinch my nose. I would rather not read something as mundane as this as I'm not that yet into romance really even though my aunt bought this for me at Christmas.
Each hardback cover my finger slide on each of the dust that's on them. I remanenced in each scenario in my head that's waiting in each book. Over and over again I looked through each title. I waited for a book to spark my eye.
Then I found it; My dictionary.
Before anyone says something I've been waiting for my dictionary and that I have research to do so leave me alone.
I gathered up my essentials and some paper as I thought about what word I should do first.
Angel.
Obviously I figured that she isn't just some angel that's on this Earth.
Morning came and my room had turned into an horrendous mess and that I really needed a clean up later. Papers scattered across the room from floor to floor. There are so many Korean to English translations of words that I could not find.
I went to Caspian's car. He had just got done honking the horn waiting for me to come out. Opening up the car door I noticed coffee in the cup holder.
" How's Eomma?"
" She's fine." He nodded his head in understanding.
I noticed that there's two coffees. Waiting for me in the cup holder.
" Is that one for me?" A glint of hope has reached within me.
" What do you think?" he knew that after our conversation yesterday at the cafe that I would do something like this, as in stay up all night with research.
I thanked him to the point that I actually low key forgot about my coffee.
"Jack." He pointed to my coffee.
"Oh yeah right." he laughed a tiny bit.
" Jack, you need to help me study." walking through the Halls he was trying to convince me of helping him study when he could clearly do this on his own.
" Why is it so hard for you to study?"
" Not everyone is equipped to getting good grades as in you Jack."
Caspian is really just like a brother to me. we were raised together.
His mom and my parents are really like best friends so we're really close.
" She's pretty but she's not really for me." After Caspian saying this, I look up to Alice. She was walking across from us arm linked in her boyfriend's. She was slightly laughing at something he said.
" She's always been pretty in my eyes."
Then the unexpected happened, she had looked over. a soft gaze cover her face as if she smiled and she waved. It was a gentle and feminine wave. she was really happy.
I pulled my arm up to give her a wave back. she smiled even more. then best to my assurance she smiled back at her boyfriend and quickly turned the conversation over to what he was saying.
" Hey I mean that was a start."
" Caspian let's just go." Following me back he laughed.
" Maybe one day you'll find somebody." He pats my back with the assurance.
After math class we go to his locker. Turning the lock combination he pulled it. tolls of gifts started flying out onto the floor. There is love notes and candy bags; As well as the teddy bears.
" Teach me your ways." I'm not jealous but how.
" This happens about every other week, I don't even know."
Though he didn't show it I could see his little smile in the corner. "Yeah ok."
Going to my own locker, I turn my locker combination. A little note seemed slip out out.
" let's talk." Was what the note has said.
It wants me to meet her at the park at 5. Well we don't know if it was the girl or not. I'm pretty sure it is though.
" Oh Caspian."
I skip over to him with a note in my hand.
