"Dad, I'm going to Korea this Monday for a foreign exchange trip." Brandon said.
"Oh? Really?" Mr. Johnson said with a smile as he brushed Brandon's hair.
"So... you need some money?" Mr. Johnson said.
"I need to buy some warmer clothes." Brandon said.
Mr. Johnson passed 200$ to Brandon from his purse.
"Will this much do?" He said.
"This will be great! Thanks dad!" Brandon said as he kissed his father's cheek and ran outside the house happily.
Then he suddenly stopped and said to himself "But going to the mall all alone is so boring."
He ran towards the other direction and reached Harry's house.
"HARRY!!!" He shouted from outside.
Then he threw a small stone at his window, but there was no response.
So, he threw a larger stone.
When there was still no response, he threw a huge rock towards Harry's window.
Not just the glass, but even the window broke into pieces.
"Oops" Brandon said. "I overused my strength again."
Then, he saw a tall figure on the window which finally looked like Louise.
"LOUISA!!" Brandon shouted "Let's go to the mall!!"
"Oh shut up, punk!" Louise said as he smoked a cigarette.
"Where's Harry?" Brandon said.
"He has gone to Jonas's place to help him pack for his Korea trip." Louise said.
"...You mean Jaden?" Brandon said.
"Ya right, Jaden was it? It's the same anyway." Louise said.
"It's not the same. We don't even have anyone by the name of Jonas at our school." Brandon said.
"Ya, now f*ck off!! Shoo shoo" Louise said.
"Wait- Louisa!! If not Harry, then, please, you come with me to the mall!!" Brandon said.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!!" Louise said.
"Pleasy weasy" Brandon said with puppy eyes, his ultimate move.
"Ugh! Don't do that...FINE FINE!! I'LL GO WITH YOU!!" Louise said, finally giving up.
At the mall
"WAH!! It's been a while since I last came here." Brandon said as he stretched his arms.
"I never want to come here, it's crowdy, noisy, smells gross and above all- IT'S A NO SMOKING ZONE!! DAMN IT!!" Louise shouted as he smashed his cigarette on the floor.
"Let's go from the elevator!" Brandon said as he grabbed Louise's arm.
"We can simply use the escalator." Louise said.
"NO! I love elevators so we'll go from an elevator!!" Brandon said.
"....So childish... GROW up!" Louise said as he flicked Brandon's forehead.
"Tehe~" Brandon smirked as both of them walked towards the elevator "You say that but I know that you're scared of elevators!"
"Huh! Nonsense!" Louise said and both of them entered the elevator.
They got down on the first floor.
"So, where are we going?" Louise said.
"To the clothes shop! I need to buy a new top and a fur hoodie." Brandon said.
They both entered the clothes shop and Louise picked out a blue top for Brandon.
"I think this is it." Louise said.
Brandon smiled and said "It's so nice of you to pick up a top for me."
"I just want to get done with it quickly. Just f*CKING pick up anything and move your ass out of this place" Louise said.
Brandon started laughing.
"Alright let me try it" Brandon said as he removed his top and took the blue top. He wore it and said "I look so handsome."
"You don't say that to yourself, idiot" Louise said as he fixed Brandon's hair.
"I need a hoodie too." Brandon said.
"I'm getting one, shut up." Louise said as he picked up a fur jacket.
"That's not a hoodie." Brandon said.
"Tsk! I know! Patience?" Louise said.
When both of them were done, they went inside a cafe.
Brandon ordered a Vanilla Latte with choco chip cookies and Louise ordered black coffee.
"What else do you want to buy?" Louise said.
"Nah! I'm done with shopping. Let's go watch a movie after this." Brandon said.
"I'm going home." Louise said.
"Why?!!" Brandon wined.
"It's so suffocating here. I can't take a smoke. And movies are annoying, who do you think I am? Your girlfriend?"
"I would never date a 190 cm tall, delinquent rehabilitating girl." Brandon said.
"So, which kind of 'girl' would you date, Sir Gay?" Louise said.
"Someone who is shorter and she has to be super beautiful." Brandon said with a smile.
"Kate is not super beautiful." Louise said.
"You are confusing yourself. I didn't say pretty, I said beautiful. There is a difference between beautiful and pretty."
"And may I know what that difference is?" Louise said as he sipped his coffee.
"Pretty is someone who looks good, but beautiful is someone who is good." Brandon said.
"Alright, Mr. Prince." Louise said.
"Hehehe~" Brandon smirked and sipped his latte.
His upper lip was covered with latte foam but he ignored it.
"So, mind telling me why did I turn out to be the victim? Why didn't you bring Kate Roberts with you? It was a great excuse to go on a date." Louise said as he sipped his coffee.
Brandon looked at the table, embarrassed."That's because...I want our first date to be as a couple. I want to treasure that moment." He said.
"Hmm…." Louise moved his hand towards Brandon's lip and wiped off the foam.
"Huh?" Brandon looked up from the table at Louise.
"Next time, make sure he does this and not me, Mr. Loverboy." Louise said.
Brandon blushed and looked at his empty cup.
"Let's go, I'm done." Louise said as he got up.
Brandon said nothing, he just got up as Louise kept the money on the table and both of them left the cafe.
"Now, the movie theatre huh?" Louise said.
"...Un....I wanna go home now." Brandon said.
"Is that so? Fine I'll drop you." Louise said as he took out his car keys and went outside the mall.
'WAIT- THEY'RE LEAVING??!!' Kate thought as he ran towards them but he was forcefully pulled back.
"Where did you run off to, you jerk??!!" Anna shouted.
"What?" Kate said.
"Help me carry all this!!" Anna said.
"Anna, wait I need to-" Kate said as he turned away but he had lost sight of Brandon and Louise.
"What are you looking at? Come help me!!" Anna shouted.
"...Yes…" Kate said as he picked up the bags.
At night
"*Sigh* I'm such an idiot! I could have simply said 'Hi' to him without following or spying him." Kate said while lying in the bed.
"He blushed....UGH!!!! SO ANNOYING!!!" Kate said as he tightly clenched his pillow.
He turned to the other side and saw BRANDON sleeping next to him??!!
"Brandon??!!" He said as he got up but realised it was just his mind playing tricks on him.
He fell back on the bed again.
"What is this? I feel so lame. He's got me completely wrapped around his little finger and I hate that!" Kate said to himself.
'Let me just sleep! SLEEP.'
.
.
.
"DAMN IT'S HOT!! I CAN'T SLEEP!!" Kate shouted as he threw his blanket aside.
'....Let me just imagine our maths class and Mr.Patrick' Kate thought as he closed his eyes.
'Kate....Can I kiss you?'
"NO YOU CAN'T!!" Kate shouted as he got up.
"What is this??!! Damn I just can't sleep, the bed is so uncomfortable!!!" He said.
He kicked aside the pillow, and fell on the bed again.
"SLEEP SLEEP ME!! I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW!!" He said to himself.
He closed his eyes and dreamed....
Brandon in a towel at Harry's place when both he and Kate went bathing together the other day.
"Damn... you.... and your abs... even I want abs...." Kate said in his sleep.
As the clock ticked and the room was covered with silence, Kate's body flinched.
Suddenly, he got up, shocked and breathing heavily. He was covered with sweat. He gulped and looked at his crotch.
"No- No way...." He said as his face changed colors.
"I- I'M HARD!!!!" He whisper shouted with a dreadful look on his face.
