4:00 is the time when I look at the nightstand. Shane and I made up a while ago after attending school. Her reason was, she can't stand the fact that Melanie was standing beside Hunter when I should be the one in her place. She also feel second-hand pain when she saw me looking at them. I feel pain, yes, but the pain also means I am moving on. I understand her, If ever I saw Ayden with someone else instead of Shane? I would feel the same. I ship them both! I also can't ignore her for the rest of the day, I don't know what to do without her. It's a little misunderstanding.
She wants me to stop already and reveal myself to him to know who's fake and real. I know if he will know who the real me is, then he would be back on teasing me and following me around, which is not going to help my situation at all.
I don't know why Melanie thinks of pretending she is me when we all know that many people can recognize me. We both had different personalities. She's rich while I am middle class. She's girly while I am a little bit boy since I have some ability that a boy can do.
I'm sarcastic to him while she's sweet to him. I remember her, she used to follow Hunter behind while he's running behind me, just to tease me. I remember the time when Melanie and her minions accidentally spilled the juice in my uniform and Hunter is following me behind.
He got furious, but then laughed at me along with Melanie and her minions and the people in the cafeteria. Shane went to me in the bathroom and handed me clothes, P.E clothes.
When I put it on, the colon was familiar to me, and when I went outside the cubicle, it turns out it's Hunter's P.E clothes. I wanted to take it off, but Shane told me not.
Anyone would notice the differences between me and her, so why need to be me? Why need to get to the place where I was supposed to be standing? It's so frustrating to the fact, everything I want, she gets it. Everything makes me happy; she gets it.
Since I was little, I hate the people who were trying to be me. For real! I hate people acting so fake in front of me. I can't stop getting teary whenever I felt like I got copied by someone else. The people who used to know me and chase after I was now gone. It is my choice too, I don't want these feelings for him so the only thing to do is to get rid of them.
"Lexi," Shane called. I look at her, getting all dressed for tonight. She's wearing a color pink long sleeve lace blouse and it is also a crop top with a flowing cloth at the end and she paired it with a color white high waist. I smiled at her and give her a thumbs up.
"We should pair this with a stiletto, but I just remembered we're going to a reunion and not a party." We both chuckled.
I and Shane did not put so much effort into our faces as we're naturally beautiful. Looking at the mirror for the last time, me and Shane give a high five before going to the bed to put our flat shoes on.
We went outside the house to her house, where she parked her car. Before we both get in the car, Hunter, my favorite author, went to us and smiled. "2 girls are so pretty tonight," he complimented. I and Shane both chuckled. "Be careful driving there and back home, hmm?" Shane nodded.
He turns around after giving us his last sweet smile, I, definitely lying in my grave now but I pulled myself together. I can't die because another series of his book will be published this upcoming January, so yeah.
I hopped inside as Shane did also. "Isn't he so handsome? I can't believe he's talking to me!" Shane rolled her eyes.
"Not only, but also me." Now, it's my turn to roll my eyes.
When we arrive, there's a lot of cars parked there. The location changed, I don't know why, I don't like spending my time back reading their conversation. Shane was there to inform me though, so what's the use? I was so excited and nervous at the same time.
Shane acts mature and not a koala right now. She did not wrap her arms around me like she usually does.
When we went to the center where the event will be held, we made a halt and greeted our ex-classmates and also our ex-teachers. Some of them have a lot of changes in appearance, other changes in personality, the shy, quiet type of girls and boys back then are the loudest and have no shame now; but have still a little shame, not shameless.
My eyes automatically roam around, finding someone. We're sitting around the table, small table. We're here on the rooftop of one of my classmates back then. And we're sitting on the ground, the girl that owned this house was a K-drama, what can you expect?
She respects their culture and wants to try it too so she made us try it too. Such a good girl she is. Everyone is silent, not until when someone opens the door to the rooftop, they have begun to cheer while I was just busy looking at the food that was waiting in front of us.
Shane secretly nudges me from my knees using her knees, I look at her, but she's not looking at me, but somewhere in where we walk to enter the rooftop. I look at everyone, they were already looking at there, others are smiling, others are cheering; loudly to somewhere.
To be continued.
