"Knock, knock.."
I slowly opened the door with my fist ready to punch at anything coming at me... However, what I saw was a big shiny motorbike stopping only a few feet away. There was a tall man leaning against the motorbike, with his back toward me. When he heard me open the door, he quicked turned around.
"Hey, Beth!"
"Oh my God... I can't believe it's you..." My voice quivered with excitement, as I ran toward him.
It was Westin, my best (boy) friend since childhood. We haven't met for years...
Gosh, I missed him.
"Hey." I said as I gave him a big hug, and he returned it. Truth is, Westin, used to be known as the hottest and most popular boy at his Junior school, according to Jay's info.
"Long time no see..." I whispered into his dark blue jacket.
"I was told by your Uncle that you've moved over last Wednesday." Westin said as he buried his face into my hair. "Man, I missed your hair..."
"Beth!!!!!!" I heard someone squeal from behind Westin. I tiptoed and tried to see my other one and only best friend, but Westin's broad shoulders blocked everything, all I could see is his big blue jacket. I struggled out of his hug and ran over to Crystal.
"Gosh, are you okay?" Crystal, my other best friend asked worriedly. "I've heard about the accident..." She said quietly as she hugged me softly. I stayed there in her hug for the longest time.
Even though, I called them my best friends. To other people, they would call us childhood neighbours. Ever since Jayden and I were 6, we would come to New York for summer vacation, and spend the whole summer here playing with Westin and Crystal. They lived near by, and their parents were very good friends with mine. However, the last 3 years we did not come, because my mother's health was not very good.
"Ahem!" Westin coughed. 'Should we go, girls?'
"Yea! Let's go!" Crystal said, as we pulled away from each other. "Let's catch up later!"
"Yea..." I answered quietly.
Suddenly, everyone stopped talking. They all just stared at me. Their eyes were full of pity, and sadness.
"Come on, guys! You don't have to look at me like that..." I laughed nervously, trying to break the ice.
"Sorry! I mean... Yea, sorry..." Crystal said as she jumped on the motorbike and hugged Westin's waist tightly. And I followed. "Just that... You changed a lot, you know... Jay did say you changed
, but we didn't expect..."
"You really got quiet..." Westin said as he put his helmet on, and also handing Cyrstal and I each a helmet.
"Yeah..." Crystal answered quietly.
"You used to have... A lot more craziness in you." Westin said as he started to remember the old times. 'When was the last time we met? How many years ago? 10 years?'
"Really, Westin? We have to be talking about the past now?" Crystal asked as if it was the funniest thing in the world. "But it has been about 3 years... We're 17 now, so..."
'3 freaking years...' Westin said, and scratched his chin.
"Let's go!" Westin announced as he started the engine. "Let's just enjoy the moment, and be glad that Beth will be here with us until highschool graduation."
I wonder if Crystal still has a crush on Westin. Maybe they're already dating...

. AM 8:05

"Remember how we would ride Tricycles down the farm roads?" Westin shouted against the wind. I was barely able to hear him since the wind was so loud.
'And you said you wanted to be a motorbike racer.' I shouted back.
"Yup, and I will be." Westin shouted again with a proud smile. 'We're less than half a mile from school~!'
"Yay!" Crystal cheered.

After we reached our school, I showed my scheduel to them, and noticed that I have 3 classes with Crystal and 5 classes with Westin. Crystal and Westin are together in the first class.
'Well... Beth, see yah. Be careful, okay? I will come and pick you up since we have the second class together.' Westin said as he stared at me. He looked concerned. "Don't you get lost. I know how you are..."
"Oh, I'll be fine. I'm a high-school girll. Not a kindergarten.' I said as I bumped his shoulders jokingly. Not knowing there were about 50 pairs of jealous eyes looking at us.
Yes, yes, being bestie with the popular boy is not easy...
"I'll walk you over to your first class." Westin said as he grabbed for my bag. "I really have this bad feeling about letting you go by yourself."
"Westin. I'll be fine, okay? Now, shoo, shoo. Goodbye." I said as I pushed him away before he thinks of any more excuses.
He really was a nice friend.
Now, let's see. The first class iss Math. My favorite! Let's go.
10 minutes later...
Where the fuck am I!!!! I'm definitely lost and late... l should have listened to Westin~! I'm so sorry, Wes... Say the truth, I'm already used to getting lost. Maps, never made sense to me.
I was getting so nervous, that I kept squeezing my hands tightly. I feelt myself panicking as I kept turning at one corner after another. I'm pretty sure I was just traveling in circles.
I kept thinking and talking to myself until I bumped into a hard wall. And I heard it curse under its breath. I flew back and fell hard on my butt!
Wait! There's no wall that can curse!
I looked up and I saw this big black figure that smelt like mint.
'Oh, it's just a wall. I'm so stupid.' I laughed, stood up quickly and turned left. 'Maybe I need glasses. Haha!'
Then I heard a 'whoosh!' sound and I saw this muscular arm punching the wall hard, right before my face. Only inches away. And he made a big dent!
How strong is this guy?
'Don't you think you need to apologize for bumping into me?' I heard the monster say, sounding very pissed off.
'Excuse me?' I answered.
Of all the words in the world, I answered 'Excuse me'?! To someone bigger than me, taller than me and stronger than me!!! I am mad.
'That's what she answers?' Another person said, laughing loudly. To be honest, I didn't really like his way of laughing. 'Excuse me? hahaha!'
I looked up, and I saw 3 giants staring down at me. They looked really hot, but I could tell they weren't the ones to joke with. I looked left, and this red hair boy, was trying to catch his breath from laughing too hard. He had a black cap on, and with drawings on it.
Wait. The words are changing... The picture turned to fancy words... Read 'Katerina'!
I rubbed my eyes and looked again. The drawings were gone, there were red words, written 'Katerina' and the rest of the cap was black.
Why does this name sound so familiar? Ouch... Headaches...
'Boys really like to laugh at stupid stuff.' I stated. He stopped laughing immediately and stared at me intensely. Then I turned to face the giant on the right. He was a little taller than the red boy. He had greenish-brown hair with the prettiest kind of brown, with glasses that matched him so perfectly as if it were made just for him. Also, he had earphones in his both ears. He was looking far away at the beyond and yawning as if I didn't exist.
'Boys also shouldn't be so lazy and lame.' I snorted shortly. 'And I feel sorry for the glasses that they have to live with someone like you.'
Then, the red hair boy began to stare at me more. It was like he changed to a different person.
'And it's really weird for a boy to wear a cap with a girl's name on it. It's a shame.' I said again.
I have no idea why I feel so sassy now... Something is werid about these three...
'Wait a minute, little girl. You say, my cap has a girl's name on it?!!!' The red hair boy turned to the boy in the middle who was glaring at me. The greenish earphone boy also turned to me.
I ignored his question of nonsense and turned to look at the boy standing in the middle.
'Now, you effeminate, arrogant, ungentle, gutless, freckly coward! Is that what you say to a girl?' I said, copying his pissed off voice. 'Just because I made a mistake and bumped you!'
Why do I feel this power and courage? I feel really werid...
Now they are really staring at me weirdly, they looked as if I'm a zombie or a ghost!
I saw the earphone boy raise his left arm.
Snap!
I closed my eyes and hugged my bag tightly as if that's going to protect me.
I waited.
And waited.
Nothing.
I opened my eyes, and I was standing right in front of my classroom.
I looked around nervously... The boys were... Gone!!!
I walked in, expecting the teacher to scold me, but class hasn't even started yet? The teacher too was still not here.
Wait, wait, wait, I should be late. I checked the time, and time hasn't changed since the last time I checked my clock.
Did time just go backward? What the...
