Here I am again in my room. The sky is dark, it’s snowing. I always do love winter. I can still see the beautiful view of this city from my window. How lucky am I to be here. Just if there was someone, hot guy maybe? accompany me here, it would be perfect. Someone knocks at my door. I put on my fluffy sandal and open the door.

A tall guy with dark blue jacket and black shoes shows up.

               “Hey low! Whatchu doin? Look what I bring, your favorite snackkk Churros!!” says Sho patting my head.

               “How many times I told you don’t call me low or short! You’re annoying, just go away”

               “Heyyy okayyyy sorry. Just kidding. Hello Lynn!! May I come in to share this delicious Churros with you?”

I giggled.

               “Fine. Come in. And thank you for coming with Churros”

Sho walk in and put off his jacket. I see him wearing black sweater. Yup, that’s the sweater I made for his last birthday. The smell of sweet Churros bursts over the room. We sit down on my bed, facing my window. We start to eat sticks of Churros.

               “So… You know about the. Um.. prom 3 weeks again right?”

               “Yeah” I say with my full mouth

               “I was just wondering if… you want to go with me?”

I look at Sho in shocked. The prom is still 3 weeks again, why is he asking now?

               “Hello? Are you still there?” says Sho, waving his hands in front of my eyes

               “No”

               “Excuse me?”

               “N-O no”

               “Wha.. Why??”

I was blank for a while. And then I manage to speak

               “Because… Somebody has already asked me”

               “Somebody has already asked you? So like he has asked you a month ago? Are you serious?? Who is it?”

               “Of course not a month ago! Why would you like to know?”

               “Well of course.. just… I’m a little bit upset knowing that you can’t go with me” says Sho looking at me with innocent face

               “It’s just a prom”

               “Right… just a prom..” says Sho in sad face

I can’t help it anymore. I burst into laugh

               “I knew you were lying!!!” says Sho, laughing too

               “You really did believe somebody has asked me! Who the heck would ask someone to a prom three weeks before it besides you??” I smile

               “Hahhaha.. So… will you go with me??”

               “Um…. Qui!”

Sho jumps around like crazy and shout “YES!” thousand times.

               “Alright… Like you’ve won the world championship or something”

               “Hah! It’s bigger than that”

               “Owh really???? Cut it out. Let’s watch movie. You pick one” I say as I take out a box with movies in it

               “This one” says Sho as he picks a comedy movie

               “Good one. Now let’s watch!”

I walk to my DVD player and play the movie. We make ourselves comfy on my bed and start to laugh when the movie starts. We laugh in every minute of the movie because it’s just so damn hilarious. I’m starting to feel sleepy. I close my eyes for a while…

…

My name is Lynn, just Lynn. I’m 17 years old and I live in a small comfy apartment. I got a scholarship and now I’m living in Paris. About my parents? Well they are always busy with their work. They don’t really care about me actually. I used to have no one, but here, I have so many friends. Sho is my closest friend ever. Probably you guys are confused why his is name Sho. I don’t know what were his parents thinking, for giving him name PASCHO. Well her mother called him Sho all the time so yeah I think it’s his nickname. Actually, his parents died several years ago. Since then, he lives by his own, in his old house. I can say that he is a very strong and independent boy. I used to come to his house every day until he turned 15 and he said that he could take care of himself. We’ve been together for nearly 5 years. He has blond hair, green eyes and everybody says that he’s handsome. He grows so fast that he often calls me short. We fight mostly about unnecessary things like children. People think that we’re a couple, but I always deny it even though I admit it if we’re so close. We’re more than friends, but we’re not in a relationship, we’re like brother and sister but I don’t think we are. It’s kinda weird..

…

*KRINGGGGGG*

I hear that similar sound. Yep, that’s my alarm. So I get up with my eyes close and slam it. I’m still felling so sleepy. Looks like I fell asleep while watching movie with Sho last night. I stretch out for a while and I find a piece of paper on my table.

               ‘Rise and shine! You remember Mrs. Yoshi has just returned from Japan right? We’ll have class today at 10. Don’t be late sleepy head!

               From the coolest person ever,

               Sho’

               “Mrs. Yoshi… Right.. It’s-“

I look at the clock, It’s 9.15.

               “Damn this alarm!!!!”

I run to the bath room and quickly take shower. I don’t have time to dry my hair anymore. I put on my clothes, backpack and sneakers. I leave my room and rush to push the elevator button. I look at my watch, it’s 9.45. So I just take the stairs and I reach the ground. I’m running like crazy to get my bike and ride on. It’s a really beautiful day but too bad I can’t really enjoy it. I’m paddling faster and faster. I reach the front gate. I’m not paying much attention and suddenly a guy appears in front of me and I hit his leg with my bike.

               “Oh my God. I’m sorry, I’m terribly sorry!” I get off my bike and help him collecting his stuffs.

               “It’s okay. Thank you” says the guy

I see a pair of ice skate.

               “Do you skate here too?” I look at his face

Blue eyes, dark hair, tall and HANDSOME. Oh damn, he’s hot. Probably the most handsome guy I’ve ever met in my life.

               “Well yeah. I’m a new member here. I just arrived here.” Says he with a charming voice

I’m trying to act normal. But like everytime I try to act normal, I become more and more awkward.

               “Owh well… We-Welcome to Tam Club!” I say with the weirdest voice ever

               “Thank you. I’m Nick. Nice to meet you”

We’re shaking hand. I’M SHAKING HAND WITH A HOT GUY OMGOMG.

               “I-I’m Lynn and I’m a member of Tam club”

We’re still shaking hands. I’m still amazed with this handsome guy.

               “HEY LOW!!!!!!! YOU’RE LATE!! I CAN GUESS MRS YOSHI IS GOING TO PUNISH YOU!!!”

Right. It’s Sho’s voice, destructing my moment. I pull my hand and smile

               “I think I have to go. I mean, I have a class so…”

               “Well let’s go in together. I’m going to take your class too, Lynn, since I’m a new member here”

               “Right!! Yeah let’s go! Together!”

So we walk toward the ice rink. Oh my God, it’s like I’m walking with Zac Efron. I see Mrs. Yoshi and my friends in the rink. My friends are shocked, probably they think I went somewhere and found this handsome guy without telling them.

               “Mrs. Yoshi.. Welcome back! Sorry, I’m late.”

               “Hello Lynn nice to meet you again. Just for this time, I forgive you. Since you’ve never been late before” says Mrs. Yoshi

               “Hello Mrs. Yoshi. Nice to meet you. I’m Nick Anderson, the new member here”

               “Oh right. Welcome! So guys, here is the new student I was talking about. Meet Nick. Please treat him well. Especially you Sho.” Says Mrs. Yoshi, glaring at Sho

               “What?? Mrs. Yoshi I’m probably one of you best students who’s NEVER BEEN LATE for class” says Sho, looking at me

I glare at him.

               “Alright that’s enough. Let’s start with some practice. Today’s practice is about steps. Make a group of 2. Let’s go!”

Just as usual, I always pair up with Sho. I feel someone touch my shoulder.

               “Hey, Lynn. Do you want to be in a group with me?” says Nick, smiling

               “Um yeah! Sure!” I say without thinking

We sit down on a couch and put on our ice skate. My friends are waving hands at me like crazy. I mouthed ‘later’. And we’re off to the rink

               As usual, it’s always been cold on the ice rink. Mrs. Yoshi starts to show us some steps and we follow her. Everyone’s moving, but Nick just stays still. I think he’s confused.

               “Nick-“

He moves. He does the steps so beautifully. Everyone who’s still doing moves stops. All eyes on Nick.

               “Oh.. That’s an amazing move you did Nick. Keep it up” says Mrs. Yoshi

Looks like every time I try to do steps, I end up watching Nick. Focus. Stop looking at him. Oh my this is so hard.

               “Alright! Now pair up with your partner and do these moves” says Mrs. Yoshi. She’s pairing up with Sho, showing us some duo moves. Those moves are so beautiful. But the distance between each person is so CLOSE. I know that I must do that with Nick. My heart is thumping. I’ve never felt so nervous like this. Mrs. Yoshi finishes her moves. Okay. It’s time. Oh my God.

I turn toward Nick. He looks so calm. And me? Don’t ask about me. I can feel my hands shaking. But I push myself to skate forward and stand in front of Nick. Music’s playing. He takes my hand.

               “Are you okay? Your hands so cold”

               “Yeah I’m totally fine. Just.. fine…”

               “Just let it flow and let the music moves you”

Suddenly, I become really focus on Nick and all I can hear is the music’s playing. We start to move. I feel so different this time. I’ve never skated as good as what I’m doing now. I always fall down doing steps but now, I'm still standing, moving so smoothly. I can hear my friend’s are gasping and shouting. But it doesn’t bother me anymore, I keep dancing until the music stops. I take a deep breath. And then I hear sounds of clapping hands. I turn around, I see EVERYONE is clapping. Why are they clapping??

               “That was a marvelous move!! Good job Lynn and Nick!” says Mrs. Yoshi, still clapping.

               “That was amazing” says Nick in a low voice

               “What amazing?”

               “Moves you did!”

               “I…”

               “Oh my goshhh you were so damn beautiful! And will you excuse me if we talk to her for a while?” says my friend Pasha, dragging me away to the corner

               “Class is over! See you again two days again and don’t be late!” says Mrs. Yoshi, leaving the rink.

               “Now tell us, tell us, tell us!!!!” says Hadley in an excited voice

               “Well… let’s talk somewhere more private huh?”

We go out of the rink. I see Sho, still standing in the middle of the rink. He seems so… Blue. I’ve never seen him like that before. I think I might talk to him later. I can see that my friends are too excited to hear about this guy ‘Nick’.

               “Let’s go to usual café!” says Madison.

               “Yeah! Let’s just ride my car!” says Brianna

So yes, we ride Brianna’s car to our favorite café. We sit down on our favorite place, at the corner. A waiter stands in front of us, smiling. His name is Ian. He’s one of our friends who works at this café for a part time job.

               “Hi Ian! We want to order like usual” says Madison

               “Alright. 4 regular blended white coffee less sugar!”

Just like five minutes, our drinks are ready.

               “Here you go” says Ian, handing the drinks.

               “Thankyou. So about this guy, his name is Nick” I say, smiling

               “Yeah we all know it already. How did you meet him?” says Brianna

               “Owh… new guy?? I heard it already. I can tell he’s handsome huh?” says Ian sitting next to me.

               “Very!! And he’s really good at skating!” says Hadley, slurping her coffee

               “Oops.. Sho has a new rival now” says Ian

               “What do you mean?”

               “Well you know since he was the most handsome and talented guy in the club before Nick joined in??” says Ian, looking around. Yep his boss is watching him.

               “I gotta go, bye” Ian leaves us

               “Well the point is, I’ve just met him and I have no special relationship or something like that with him”

               “But the way he sees you!! I think he likes you!!” says Hadley

               “Cut it out Hay. You’re not a fortune teller” says Pasha looking unamused.

               “Well… I think… I kinda like him too”

They look at me in shock.

               “What?”

               “No wayyyy. I’ve waited so long to meet a hot guy like him and now he’s in our club. I’m not going to let you!!” says Hadley

               “Oh c’mon Hay, every guy you see is HOT to you” says Madison

               “But what about Sho?” asks Pasha

               “Sho?? Hello?? He’s such a brat and-hmhmhmhfhfmf“ Brianna covers Hadley mouth

               “Well Sho and I are just friends. Why did you suddenly ask about Sho?” I look at Pasha in confuse

               “Well. Nothing.”

I don’t know how many hours have past but I can tell, it’s getting dark. Damn! I forget to talk to Sho.

               “Okay guys, I really have to go. Bye” I run toward the street.

Oh God. I forgot to take my bike. I walk back to the Tam ice rink and suddenly I see Sho, alone. He’s heading to my apartment. He rides my bike.

               “SHO!!” I shout

He looks at me and stops. I run toward him

               “Sho…” I’m breathing so hard

               “Take it easy. You left your bike. Here it is”

               “Right. Thankyou so much. Sho I’m.. sorry I um..”

               “About the group? Nah.. nevermind. Actually I’m bored pairing up with you all the time. And Mrs. Yoshi doesn’t always fall down”

               “Hahah. How do you know?”

               “Coz I’m a mind reader” says Sho acting around like a ghost.

               “Ha! Stop it. Okay, it’s dark already. Do you want to come in?”

               “Nah, I’m fine. I’ll go back home”

               “Okay. Bye”

Sho leaves me alone with my bike. Is he really okay? He seems a little bit upset. I sweep away those things in my head and go into my apartment. Huft.. what a tiring day. I think I just want to relax for a while in my bed. But then, someone knocks at my door. It’s probably Sho.

               “Sho, you said that you wanted to-“ I  open the door and find NICK.

               “Hi! I’m sorry to disturb you but you left your wallet” says Nick, handing my wallet

               “Owh.. right. I forgot. Thank you. How do you know my apartment?”

               “Well, I saw your card and it has your address in it”

               “Oh.. Um, do you want to come in?”

               “Oh. No, thank you. I think I’ll just go home. Good night” says Nick, he walks away

I close the door. I find myself smiling. What if Hadley was right? Does he really like me? Okay it’s impossible. Cut it out Lynn. I throw myself into my bed. I’m just really tired and all I want to do is to sleep…
