I stepped out of my room, feeling all sleepy and angry. "Why is Jane waking me up for dinner? I can skip it!" I thought to myself. So i stomped out of bed and went down the stairs. I heard Zac's voice. I got even more pissed off. I remembered warning Jane not to let Zac come into my house no matter what. He took my seat, and acted like it was his home. My mind contained nothing at that moment but i had the urge to punch Zac. My lazybones gave way to him. Count him lucky then. I looked around, everyone had food except me. I know sooner or later, i'll start screaming at Jane for not bringing my food to me. But i controlled, i waited for a mere 5minutes before started shouting at her. I got so embarrassed after that, as one stranger, walked out of the Kitchen and stared at me.
He looked like Anthony. The guy that Zac's been hanging out with lately. I've heard about him from Jane and Zac, but i have not seen him nor talk to him before. That was the first meeting, a surprised one too.
He treated me like i had some disease. I was sitting alone at one corner while my brother, Zac and Anthony sat together. I still wanted to murder Zac for taking my seat. I looked terrible that day, because i just woke up from my nap. Despite that fact, i wanted to have a good look at him, the guy that Jane's being talking about. But everytime i tried looking, he'll be coincidentally looking at me too. It's so embarrass to let someone know that i've been looking at him for the past moments. Jane started the conversation. I didnt care that much, because i thought i looked super ugly that very day and i just didnt want to talk, "Shanette, this is Anthony and Anthony, this is Shanette."
"Gosh, he looked so much better looking in person than in photo." My heart was speaking. I wanted to smile and laugh but i couldnt. "JANE!!! Please follow me to the studyroom. I've got something important to tell you." I didnt know how loud i sounded, i only know that i actually fell in love at first sight. I could not confirm anything at all. I dont know him, i dont know his personality, i dont know his character, i dont know nothing about him.
He left awhile after my dad returned home. My dad had chosen a terribly wrong time to come home. I actually thought that what happened afew minutes ago was a dream. I logged into my Facebook account, search for his name at Zac's profile and looked at his photos. "Unbelievable. He seriously doesnt look like him." I decided to add him in order to make friends with him. I had no idea how it'd turn out but my 6th sense tells me it wont be a good one.
I checked my Facebook later that night and i realised that he rejected my invitation. I wasnt sure about that. So i added another time round. This time he accepted and he sent me a Facebook message asking who i was. I guess he already knew who i was because he added a "Are you Zac's Neighbour?" behind his message. I told him i was and thats where i started to know him.
We chatted on MSN, trying to understand each other better. Not long after, he had to go offline so he suggested we text on the phone. I did not have unlimited text. I was sure he had. Despite having no unlimited text, i still chatted with him for quite awhile. He didnt reply after the last message which was sent at 11.48pm. I thought he fell asleep or something. Well, it turned out that he wasnt and he actually called me to have a chat.
We chatted for less than an hour. But i felt happy that he called. The feeling's very weird. I thought he was a very caring person too. Sometimes, i just cannot understand what he is trying to do. He called me at night because he needed someone to talk to or something, yet he told me that i should get some sleep because i'm a woman. And a woman have got to look vibrant the next morning. He had a very bubbly character. That was what made him different from the other boys that i knew.
I know from that moment, my heart was already with him. Still, it was too early to say anything. All i could do was to wait for time to pass and let me understand him better.
Chapter 2: An unforgetable day
It was one day away from Christmas Eve! I did not had any Christimas feel at all. To me, the coming Christmas would be like any other ordinary day.
My brother, Sean, went out early in the morning to Zac's house to hang out. I woke up at only 10am. Still in my pajamas, i surfed the internet for awhile and was planning to head to the bathroom right after i've posted a post on my blog. Halfway through, i recieved a call from Anthony asking me over to Zac's house. Good heavens! I could not believe that he woke up so early just to go over to Zac's place. I rejected him because i was in a terrible condition but he insisted. So i gave in and told him that i'd take a bath first before going there.
It took me almost an hour preparing myself. Actually i was just practically wasting my time away, reluctant to go over. ''If he don't call, i'll not go over. I bet he's just acting crazy, hence that phonecall." Afew moments after that thought in my head, 'Anthony, Answer OR Decline' appeared on my phone. I clicked the 'Answer' button and he asked me why i was taking so long. I told him i'd be there in a jiffy, hanged up the call and rushed to Zac's place.
The house felt so empty. The main gate was not locked, the main door was opened and nobody was home. I thought they were trying to play some prank on me, only to realise that they were actually in the Master Bedroom, playing 'Restaurant City' and 'Fish a Fish' on Facebook, the site for communication. Zac and Anthony were constantly fighting with each other. I meant literally. They were so amusing i could not stop laughing. My brother and i just stood there, looking at them fight.
After all the boredom we could endure, Anthony decided to go cycle around the neighbourhood. I was so afraid. Amongest them, i'm the only fool who did not know how to cycle. "Don't worry, Shanette. Zac and I will teach you. Just trust us." Though he kept emphasizing on this line, i still had that tension in my heart. Both guys were taller and obviously stronger than me, but i'm still considered plump for a girl my height. I felt awkward. It took me quite awhile to settle down on the bicycle. Anthony tried guiding me through. However, i know he would fall if i put all my weight on him. So i told him i'll try myself. I ended up falling down so many times. All of the falls did not really considered as a fall. I just did not had enough confidence.
We cycled to the bicycle shop outside the neighbourhood, as Zac and Anthony needed to get some neccessary things for their bikes. Anothony decided to head to Kovan for no particular reason. They just wanted to cycle. I had difficulties throughout the way. Despite the fact that i was a slowpoke and a burden to the three guys, Anthony was always behind me, supporting me all the way.
Anthony treated all of us drinks when we reached Kovan. I felt so exhausted, i wanted to just go home. On the way back, we had to cycle uphill. I had no clue how i was supposed to pass through this stage. I tried, almost fell but i succeeded. Thinking about home, i wanted to stop the bicycle outside my house. But just as i was about to stop, Anthony told me that we were supposed to go back Zac's house.
The weather was scorching hot. My legs were scarred with alot of scratches and blood. Anthony helped me wash it off willingly. Stepped into Zac's house with my legs all wet because they did not had any cloth for me to wipe my legs dry. I needed the fan desperately, i could simply die of heatstroke any second. Zac threw me his antiseptic cream and told me to apply it on my little wounds.
I stood there and watch them play a Playstation game for 1whole hour. My maid at home rang me up, remindng me that it was time to go home. Bid them goodbye and headed home with my brother.
"Today is such awesome day!!! I cannot believe i actually learnt how to cycle!" I announced it to the whole house world. I could not wait for the next time that i get to cycle with them again! I thought i'd be seeing them in the early evening because they always cycle out for dinner. The weather spoilt my mood. It started pouring and my plan to see them in the evening was ruined.
Feeling despondent, Anthony called. "Hey Shanette. How do you like today?" I was full of smiles, "Wonderful day. :)" "Okay, are you free on Monday? Wanna go cycle again?" He paused for a moment and i when i was about to reply, he answered, "Well, i guess you're free! You told me you're free anytime!" I couldnt promise anything at that moment. I remembered that i had Co-Curriculum Activity in the morning. I just told him that i'll try to make it.
At night, he called me again to have a chat with me while he's cycling home. I found out that he actually came to my blog and saw my Facebook statuses. My face turned so red that moment. I secretly took photos of Zac and Anthony fighting in the morning and posted the photos in my blog and he saw everything. There were 2 statuses that i wrote was about him. I had a great time talking to him though. He just loves 'I'm so sad and depressed' so much. I bet it was his most used quote.
The day with him was so unforgettable. 3months have passed, yet i could still remember every single part of the day so very vividly. I know his place in my heart, was higher than others. It's true that i dont know him for a very long time. But love sometimes, is just so strange that even Einstein cannot figure it out.
