I Love Your Girl (1/2)

Kwon Yuri Today there wasn't any school, it was the weekend, which meant that maybe I would have sometime for myself. Maybe.  Maybe because Donghae would probably be coming to my place any time soon. And he probably wouldn't be alone which meant he would bring...

Jessica.

My heart skips a couple of beats just thinking about seeing her.

I woke up early and glanced over at the bed side table where I saw my handphone and the photo Donghae had given me. What was her name again?

Im Yoona? I think that was the name. I grabbed it and my handphone, I unconsciously started dialing, now was the moment of truth, to press the green or to not press the green. I pressed cancel and throwed the handphone to the bottom of the bed.

Aish! I'm in no mood for this, I'd call this Im Yoona and what would I say?

"Hey I got your number from my friend, heard you were a lesbian wanna hang out?" That doesn't even sound right.

I messed my hair in rage. Looking, outside, I noticed it was raining. Today wasn't going to be a good day, I could feel it.

I usually go jogging by the Han River on Saturday mornings but with this rain, I didn't even feel like getting out of bed.  I sighed. The weather, Jessica, Im Yoona, Donghae. Hell, the whole wide world seemed to be against me. I got up and went to the kitchen, only to find out I have nothing on my fridge. You've got to be kidding me. Walking to the bathroom and getting ready, I put on some clothes, grabbed my car keys and left the house hurriedly, the faster I went the faster I'd be back.

There is a convinience shop not far from here. I got inside my car and drove a couple blocks down. Then I realized. I forgot an umbrella.

I ran inside, it was quiet, I guess not many people wake up in a Saturday morning with nothing in the fridge, I looked at the cashier.

Cashier? Wait? Isn't that? No....

Can't be right?

I ignored that for a while and went to get some groceries, ramen, instant noodles and whole load of things that people and girls my age shouldn't eat.

I needed everything, anything that was sugary, salty or not good. Cookies, chips, chocolate, marshmallows and whole load of other stuff filled the basket. I went to the cashier, I looked up. That's her. I wasn't sure the first time but now I was, that is Im Yoona, I might only've seen her in picture but remember, I looked at her picture like 10 minutes ago. "Hello" She said brightly, with a smile that went from ear to ear. How can someone smile like that with that much rain outside, I wondered as I looked through the ceiling to floor sized window of the convinience shop.

"Hello? It's 21,000 won" She called.

I looked at her.

"Ah, yes" I said as I pulled out my credit card and punched the code.

I stole a few glances at her, without her noticing, I think she didn't notice.

At least that's what I thought, until she looked at me right in the eye and smiled.

"Excuse me? Have we met before... somewhere?" She asked.

Uh-oh, what was I supposed to say? "Oh no,we haven't met but my friend told me you're a lesbian and gave me your number and picture?"  That sounds so wrong. I looked at her, my answer was probably slow, and she might've thought I was weird but..."No, I don't think so" I said trying to muster the best smile I could on this hellish day, I didn't want to seem rude to her."Ah, maybe you just look like someone I know" She said, "Sorry, here and thank you" she handed me the plastic bag.

I smiled, turned my back and went out of the store, once again running in the rain until I got to my car. I put the bag on the passenger seat. I looked at it and then at the store, through the window, I could see her, smiling at her handphone with the smile of a 7 year old when he sees candy. She had, a pretty smile and she was beautiful overall, I could admit that. I suddenly saw myself actually looking at her for quite sometime, she looked outside and spotted me inside the car, I turned the engine on and drove away. I mentally facepalmed, how weird must I have seemed? My mental self...

"From a scale of one to ten?"

"Yes"

"8" 

Gosh.

As I parked the car in front of my building I noticed two familiar figures at the door.

Donghae and Jessica.

Really? Seriously? Why?

I shook my head, shaking off my thoughts.

I walked up to them, I guess they were ringing the doorbell and no one answered, obviously.
