Looking At You

Me And The Girl Next Door

Sam walked back to the classroom. As he walked to the door, he could hear the laughter from Sylvia's group. He paused for a while, and simply watched them. It's been two days since he transferred to Dong Han Academy, but he decided to keep to himself. He just wanted to be left alone. But then, seeing Wes, Sylvia, Wayne and Diana together made him want to have friends like them. He could simply approach them, and introduce himself, and ask to be friends with them. But something was holding him back -  his past. If they find out why  he left his old school and transferred in Dong Han, they might not like him at all. 

 

Sam's eyes then shifted to Sylvia. He watched her as she smiled at the boy in front of her. He watched as she let out a hearty laugh. He remembered his old self in her. He used to be that happy. He used to make jokes and laugh with his friends. He used to be like her, and somehow he missed his old self. 

 

"Sam? How long have you been standing there?" he heard Wes ask him. He looked at their group, and saw the four of them staring at him. "I just came back." he told them coldly. "Want to join us for breakfast?" Wayne asked him. Then, he mischievously looked at Sylvia, who then hit his arm. "No, thanks. I have some work to do." he answered. Then, he went back to his seat, settled the food he brought to his table, and began to read his books. 

 

Sylvia looked at his direction. Somehow, she couldn't help but feel curious about him. Why does he prefer to be alone? Doesn't he have any friends? Did he even already made friends here in Dong Han? "Why don't you just approach him instead of just staring at him?" she heard Wes ask. Sylvia gave him another death glare. "Hey, I'm just thinking, maybe he'll melt if you keep staring at him." he said. Then, she slapped his arm. "I hate you." she hissed at him.

Wes has just finished his assignment that night. After he put his notebooks and books on his backpack, he decided to go out of the balcony to get some fresh air. He looked at the toy walkie talkie lying on the chair, and took it. "Fei Fei, are you done with your homework?" he said, talking to it. "Just finished it." he heard Sylvia say on the walkie talkie.  He pulled the chair towards the railing, and then sat on it. "I'm outside my balcony. Open your window." he told Sylvia over the walkie talkie. A few seconds later, he saw the window of her attic room being opened. Half of Sylvia's body came out of the window. 

 

Wes almost choked upon seeing her wearing her favorite cat onesie pajama. "Don't laugh!" Sylvia shouted at him over the radio. "You're wearing that again?" 

"Why? I have 3 of these cat onesies."

"You look like a real cat."

"Well, thank you for the compliment."

"You're so weird. You have an attic for a room, and you aspire to be a cat."

"I already explained about the room, remember? I don't want to share a room for Sunnie jie jie anymore. And besides, I found a treasure in this attic, and I intend to guard it."

 

Wes smiled at her. "Why did you call me?" Sylvia asked him. "Nothing. I just want to talk to you while looking at the stars." he said. Sylvia looked up at the sky, and noticed that there were many stars that night. "Ah, this is so romantic..." she said. "Which is romantic? Me or the night sky?"

"The night sky, of course. You don't have much romance in your body."

"Hey! I can be romantic too!"

"Well, I'm not seeing it."

"How can I show it to you, you're not even my girlfriend."

"Well, you can show it by watching romantic movies!"

 

Wes laughed again. "Silly girl..." he said. "Well, I think I can only see your romantic side once you're in love. I can't wait to see it." he heard Sylvia say. "Don't you think I'll look silly being in love?"

"I think a guy is cute when he's romantic."

"Did you get that from watching romantic movies?"

"Where else? How would I know? I have not been in love."

"Oh really..."

 

Sylvia could feel the teasing in his voice. She knew what who  he was talking about.  "If this is about Sam, then shut up!" she shouted at  him again. Wes could only flinch in pain as she shouted. "Sylvia, tell me the truth. Do you like Sam?" Wes asked. "No. I'm just curious about him. Aren't you curious at him as well? He transferred at Dong Han a month after the school started. And he's usually alone."

"You're just curious that's why you keep looking at him?"

"Of course, that's how I observe a human."

 

Just then, Wes noticed Tia coming out of her room's balcony, wearing a y sleepwear. As she leaned to the railing, Wes could see her cleavage. At that point, his nose bled again. "Why did you become quiet?" he heard Sylvia asked. "My... my... my goddess!" Wes managed to say. Sylvia looked at Wes, and saw him nose bleeding. Then, she looked at Tia's house, and saw that she's out of her balcony. Sylvia couldn't help but laugh at him. "Your nose is bleeding again!" she told him. 

 

Wes touched his nose, and saw blood in it. "Why is this happening to me whenever I see my goddess?" he asked. "It's either because you always see her wearing something y, or you're just a ." Sylvia said. Then, she laughed. "I am not a !" he shouted at her. "Then, who have a crush now? It's not me." she said. She heard Wes let out a sigh. "All right, I admit. I got smitten with Tia when I first saw her. And my heart beats fast when I see her..."

"And your nose bleeds."

"Yeah, that too. Do you think I really have a crush on her?" 

 

Wes, then glanced at Tia again. "Of course you do have a crush on her." Sylvia told her. "Do you think I'm out of her league?" he asked. "You wouldn't know if you wouldn't try, right? So, are you going to pursue her?" Sylvia asked. "Can I try? I mean if she rejects me..."

"It will hurt. But that's why chocolates are made. So that it will ease the heartache."

"You're going to help me, right? Fei, this is all new to me. I don't know how to woo a girl...."

"Of course, I'll help you. That's what pesky little sisters are for."

 

Wes let out a laugh. "All right. I'll court Tia." he said. "Yes, finally! I'm going to see the romantic side of yours." Sylvia said. "Let's go to sleep first. Let's talk about this tomorrow. And do me a favor." Wes said. "What is it?"

"Wear your dinosaur onesie when we talk tomorrow night."

 

Sylvia smiled at him.  "I thought you'd never ask."

As Sylvia went back to her  bed, she reached for a small treasure box on her night table. Inside was a small paper. She took it from the box, and carefully unfolded it. Then, she read it's content.

 

"May this butterfly give you happiness and true love."

 

Then, she took the small butterfly pin from the box. She remembered seeing the note and the pin behind the brick the day they moved to this house. It was also the reason she begged her mom to make her attic her room, because she believe there would be more treasures in it. And true enough, she did found little knickknacks at the attic. "I hope Zheng's wish would come true too..." she said to herself. Then an idea struck her head. She got up from her bed, and began to do some work.

"Wake up..."

 

Wes tapped Sylvia's shoulder as he placed a cup of coffee on her desk. Sylvia sat up on her chair, and took a sip of her coffee. "You didn't sleep right away after we talked last night, am I right?" Wes asked her. "I had to do something." Sylvia said in a sleepy tone. Then, she reached for her bag, and took out a paper butterfly. Then, she took Wes' hand, and put it in his palm. "I did this last night. So that your wish  would come true." she said with a smile. 

 

Wes was touched by her action. "Thank you." he said as he patted her head. Then, he looked outside and saw a butterfly. "Looks like my wish is going to come true." he told her. Sylvia looked outside, and saw the butterfly as well. "This paper butterfly wish is a hundred percent accurate." she said. The two of them looked at each other, and let out a laugh.
