The Boy Next Door

TBND 2

I stared at him with wide eyes and he did the same, our eyes are locked together, the only difference is that my jaws were dropped unto the floor.

"You?!", we blurted out at the same time pointing at each other.

"You know each other?", asked Stephen in an amused voice.We turned to looked away at the same time again as we avoided eye contact.

"No", I said as I looked at Stephen with a furrowed brows.

"Yes", he said at the same time as I said 'no'.

He just put his arms in defeat amused by our quick response.

I mean, seriously? Is this my bad luck for living Kentucky?

The car was filled of silence except those cars beeping and vrooming.

As Stephen started the engine it stuck, it keeps vrooming but it dies fast. Out of gas or?

"Oh um sorry", apologized Stephen. But we didn't bother answering nor looking at him.

It keeps vrooming until then finally the car started and there we drove to the silent road.

****

Silence was still filled in the car. No one even dared to talk and break the silence.

So I guess this is akwarder-errr than the first one in the 'airport'.

'Ehem', Stephen let out a fake cough just to break the silence but didn't work. Poor, Stephen he fails his first attempt.

"So..", he started again."Ho-how did you two know each other", he stammered. I narrowed my eyes at him in the mirror but he didn't even try to looked back at me.

"Well, you know we met at the plane, we were seatmates, so then we had a little friendly chat, that-that's all", said 'AIRPLANE GUY'.

I was shocked at his words. Friendly chat? You call that a friendly chat? We argued hello? like what boyfriend/girlfriend does sometimes.

"You call that a friendly chat?", I muttered to myself as I looked out the mirror. The two boys looked at me, Oh.My.Gosh did I just said that out loud AGAIN?

"You know Stephen, your girlfriend's small but she has a loud voice, she doesn't know when to keep secrets I think. I wonder how could you live with her with that kind of voice", he started. Ugh. Is he mocking me?

Seriously? Girlfriend?

"Oh no, she's not my girlfriend, she's my cousin and probably that's what I'm worried about", Stephen said but his eyes were fixed unto the road.

"Oh riiight", 'AIRPLANE GUY' said slowly.

"You know I wonder what her name is", he said to himself but more like asking Stephen what my name is. No way! Why would I?

"Um...", Stephen muttered looking at me at the mirror and I looked back at him with a pleading look and I think he undersrood that.

"Um...sorry bro, it's time for you to figure it out", he said feeling sorry but I think he really wanted to tell what my name is... better not be Stephen or else you will regret it.

Arrived Home:

And here I am, in my new room. I collapsed in bed tiredly. I was really really exhausted.

Oh my gosh, I really missed my guitar right now. Yes you heard it right. I have a guitar and I really missed it so so so much right now!

I rolled on the side of my bed and there I was facing the windowsill and there also I was facing the other window of my neighbor who is assumed to be 'I DON'T KNOW' and I wonder who it is. I wish it is a girl.
