As I wandered through the maze of hallways in search of Jamie, a voice suddenly yelled out "YEHA!" I spun around to see none other than Kim Jesper standing there, completely unexpected!

"Kim Jesper?"

"Yes Ms Moon" Jesper said while giving me a wink.

"What's with that eye wink? You know I won't fall for you so, don't even try." I declared.

"Who said I winked at you? I winked at the girl behind you." Jesper said while making me embarassed.

How could I think about this. God!  I thought Jesper was winking at me!  What's wrong with my brain.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Not you." He replied and then came closer to my face because of which some foolish thoughts appeared in my mind. He said something.

"Ready to be my dance partner Ms. MOON?"

"Oh! Yeah I guess, Sure. " I blurted out random words and was trying to get out of my foolish thoughts.

"Were you thinking about something else?" He assumed

"아니 아니" I replied immediately (No, no)

"Okay, see you tomorrow then" He replied and was about to leave but I stopped him and asked "Have you seen Jamie anywhere?"

"예," He replied (Yes,)

"Where?" I eagerly asked him as I was tried of finding her.

"Don't you know? She is in the basketball court cheering for your class!" He said making me realise what I am missing.

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. I'll get going, bye!" I immediately replied and hurried to the basketball court.

I strolled over to the basketball court and boy, was it massive! The place was packed with people, like a can of sardines. The players were all there, but it seemed that the game was half way towards the end.

As the boys dribbled their way to victory on the basketball court, the girls erupted into a frenzy of cheers. Amidst the sea of people, my eyes locked onto Jamie's familiar face! Without wasting a second, I sprinted towards her and plopped down beside her, ready to soak up the excitement together.

"Thankfully! you reached." Jamie said delightedly.

"Yeah, the match is between our grade and 9th right?" I asked.

"Yeah" Jamie assured
When the match started we all started screaming "Nam Seon Ho! Nam Seon Ho!"

He's basically the LeBron James of our school, and we hit the jackpot by having him in our class. The girls were practically losing their voices screaming for him - who can blame them? He's the whole package! Smart, talented on the court, a top-notch buddy, good-looking, towering over everyone, and loaded.

"Ye-ha!" EunJung  called me.

I looked beside me to see her.

"What?" I asked in a cold voice.

"Isn't Nam Seon Ho so attractive? I mean look at him, that black jersey really suits him!"

"Isn't that normal? It suits every player, out there." I said being disgusted by her.

Well, I totally get it, he's got that undeniable charm and all, but hey, I'm not about to go all heart-eyed over my friends like Eunjung. I like to keep my friendships and love life in separate lanes, you know? 'Cause if I start mixing them up, I might just end up with a big ol' nobody in the end. And that's not a party I'm interested in attending

"You don't understand, look at his charming face, his perfect collarbone and those slim fingers."
EunJung continued talking about him and I just ignored.

Finally we won the score was 43:56

"It was a good match and 'Seon Ho' nailed it." Jamie exclaimed.

"Agreed."

Soon, Jamie too begin talking good things about Seon Ho. Oh no! Don't tell me Jamie has fallen for Seon Ho too! I don't expect this from Jamie at any cost! I have to ask her this.

"Do you like Seon Ho?" I immediately asked.

"As a friend, yeah."

"No, I mean on the basis of having a crush" I declared.

"Maybe" she said leaving me astonished.

"Awesome." I said being completely stunned.

"You know that I am joking, right?" Jamie asked.

"Yes." I believed her for a second.

"Hmm.. by the way can we have a  sleepover at your place?"

"Hmm, okay." Jamie agreed.

"After school?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I will inform my parents about this."

I went to my class and removed my phone from my bag.

Oh, the secret phone in my bag! It's my emergency hotline, my lifeline to sanity. And boy, do I need it now! This situation is like a code red emergency, a level 10 crisis. I must dial my parents ASAP and spill the beans about my impromptu escapade with Jamie to her humble abode.

I cunningly concealed the phone in the depths of my pocket and stealthily made my way to the washroom. With a mischievous grin, I dialed my parents' number, eagerly anticipating my mom's voice on the other end of the line...

"Hello!" My mom said.

"Hello! It's me. I called you because, I have to inform you about something."

"About what?"

"Can I go to Jamie's house for sleepover this evening?"

"Oh, yes!"

"Really?!" God, I do have the best mom.

"Yes!" She said without wasting any second.

"Thank you so much, mom!" I said happily.

"Welcome dear."

"Love you, bye!"

"Bye!"

I rejected the call, swiftly stashed the phone back into my secret pocket, and sauntered back to the classroom. Lo and behold, as soon as I arrived, there was the professor, staring me down. Oh dear me! I was tardy. "May I enter, sir?" I inquired, receiving a positive response, but then he had to go and ask, "Why are you late?" I knew this question was coming, so I had my answer ready. "There was a never-ending queue for the restroom, sir, and I was caught up in the chaos. It took an eternity!" A simple response to a simple query. "Very well, take your seat," he declared, and I couldn't help but smirk.

After the class was over, it was time for us to go back home and that's when I said-

"So, let's go to your place."

To Jamie.
