*****************
Malia heard the loud alarm clock ring and buzz. She sprang to her feet with her eyes still half-closed.
“I’m ready for ballet class” She smiled saying. She was still slumbering. Suddenly, She opened her eyes shocked.
“What this? What did I just say??” She asked aloud. She groaned angrily and embarrasedly, laid back on the bed.
“Darn it, What have I been thinking! Ballet? You got to be kidding me?! Hey! Amalia, You had better pull yourself together and plan on losing some weight!” She shouted at the top of her voice turning and twirling on the bed. She covered her face with the bed sheets and placed the soft white pillow on her back head.
She heard her phone vibrating which jolted her. She fell on the ground quite shocked.
“Oouh!” She groaned painfully. She touched her back and traced her hand to the phone on the table. Without looking, She picked it.
“Hello!” She yelled angrily placing the phone close to her ear.
“Huh? You should place it close to your face and not your ear” The voice replied.
“Who’s this seriously?” Malia thought still very pissed off. She decided to look at her phone screen in order to see the unknown caller.
“Aaahhhh!” She screamed immediately flinging her phone to the other side. She was so shocked that her heart was nearly gonna burst out. She crawled to the phone which laid helplessly on the floor and looked at the screen.
“Were you shocked? Sorry” The caller said. It was a VIDEO CALL after all. Malia scoffed loudly.
“What’s wrong with you? I said you shouldn’t talk to me ever again!” She yelled.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry but please, can you give me a chance. One last chance. I’m gonna make it up to you, huh?” It was Brad.
“Make up for what? My dead past? Never call this number again. I’m hanging up!”
“Wait.. Wait! Malia ,… I like you!,I like you!” He exclaimed quickly. Malia looked at him shocked.
“What?” She asked suprised.
“I like You. So much..huh, No matter what people–
“You’re crazy” Malia interrupted.
“Can you just listen to me–
Beep! Malia quickly cut the video call off. She stood up, kept her phone and changed into a jersey uniform. She wore a white Sneakers and went out.
“Dad? Mum? Good morning. I’m leaving now” Malia greeted.
“Good morning Hunny. How was your night?” Mrs White asked.
“I had a nightmare”Malia replied
“Nightmare? About what darling? Are you alright?” Mr White, her father asked worriedly.
“I’m cool now”
“I see. Do you wanna join us for breakfast?” Mr Brown asked.
“No. Not now… I’m just gonna exercise for a bit first”
“Darling. Aren’t you tired of exercising already? I told you we can help. You just need to see Dr. James in U.K, Trust me, He’s good.. He’s gonna help with your body shape. No surgery needed” Mrs White spoke with sadness.
“No. I’m fine. I can do this”
“I know you are holding down because of your friends–
“Dad?!”
“No. It’s fine. When you are ready, You can always tell us” Mr White smiled
“Hmm.. Okay then”
“You must have heard the news already” Mrs White chipped in.
“Huh? About?”
“Delaney Williams? She’s back in Korea. Oh.. She checked on you yesterday but I guess you were busy with your friends” Her mother replied
“What’s all this about that nut job of a human?. You guys should stop talking about her.. I’m tired already. Why did she check up on me, anyways… Do I look like her friend or do we have some sort of attachment?” Malia asked.
“She said she wanted to say “Hi”…that’s all” Mr White said. Malia sighed and began to walk away.
“See you later!” She exclaimed and left the house. She walked out of the premises, locked the gate and jogged for a while.
Now, While trying to start a Run,, She heard a feminine voice.
“Hi” The voice said. Malia slowly turned behind to see the unknown.
To her greatest surprise, It was her. Delaney. She was shocked but maintained her cool. Delaney smiled at her ,brushed her hair to her ear in a girlish manner and began walking to Malia.
Malia looked at Delaney’s feet. She was wearing an expensive ballet shoes which was glittering blue. To her utmost surprise, Dela was strangely walking on her toes. Malia scoffed loudly.
“Is she trying to show her skills or what? Ballet my foot!”Malia thought. Delaney tip toed to her and she did that really fast without feeling hurt. Seems, she was d@mn good now!, Even more than a Pro!!.
“Long time, Dearest” Delaney smiled
“What? Dearest?” Malia asked with a stern face.
“Yeah. That’s how we do in the U.S ,Don’t you think it’s cool?” Delaney smiled
“Cut it out. So, What are you doing here? In front of my place?” Malia questioned
“I came to say Hi.. I know you’ve missed me so much.. By the way,,
– Nice shoes you’ve got there” Delaney chuckled wickedly.
Malia’s eyes went to Delaney’s ballet shoes first. Then, She moved her eyes slowly to her own very shoes. Her exercising shoes! Her purely different shoes! Her sneakers!. Her eyes balls struggled not to form tear crystals. She sniffed loudly watching the different shoes below her.
