Stars

Sehun came to see me every day after school for the next two weeks. It was hard to refrain from holding his hand, from caressing his face, from kissing his lips. Some times, girls from my school would recognize him as Sehun from Exo and they would crowd around him. When they saw me with him, they glared at me and whispered to each other. While the crazy fans distracted Sehun, Leo swooped in and walked me home. I had totally forgotten about walking with Hyuk so I could tell if the stalker really was Sally.

Sally called me on the weekend. “We should all hang out! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you and the girls.” She laughed. “OK. Where do you want to do?” I was excited about seeing her. I know she was possibly Hyuk’s stalker, but she was still my best friend. “Shall I invite Adriana along?” I asked. Sally approved and we organized a meeting place. “My aunty owns a five star café that’s amazing!” Sally said. “I’ll tell the girls. I’ll give you the address to the café and we’ll meet there 11:30am tomorrow. OK?” “That’s fine with me! Can’t wait to see you!” I squeal.

Sunday came and I was super excited to see Sally and Adriana. It felt like ages since I last saw them. I thanked my mum for driving me to the café. Strangely, the café seemed familiar. I opened the doors and instantly spot Sally’s blonde hair. I crept up behind her and pinched the back of her neck, making her squeal. We embraced and talked over each other about how happy we were to see each other. We waited for the other girls to arrive and Sally introduced us to her aunty. “Nice having you here girls. Hope you enjoy our café.” She said sweetly. A handsome young man with flowing blond hair and emerald eyes approached us. “Hello girls, what would you like to order for today?” he asked politely. “Oh! This is my aunties boyfriend; Cameron.” Sally smiled. “Cameron!” I blurted loudly. “Melinda!” he shouted with a smile. He bent over to hug me tightly. “Long time no see girly!” he laughed. “You guys know each other…?” Sally asked suspiciously. “Yeah.” Cameron and I said in unison. “So how is your man?” Cameron asked me with a light chuckle. I smiled nervously because Sally is obsessed with my so-called man. “We can catch up later Cameron.” I said, subtly shooing him away. He took our orders and left us. “How do you know Cameron?” Sally asked. I quickly changed the topic. “Adriana! You didn’t get to see VIXX at the aquarium! Did you get our photos?” I asked Adriana. I did my best to try and contribute to the conversation, but I was too distracted. I wanted to talk to Cameron.

“Bye girls.” I said to them. We hugged each other good bye, Julie and Adriana left the café, Tanya left after them. “It was really nice catching up with you.” I said to Sally. “I had a great time.” I said, it was true. I really enjoyed our time, it’s just that I would’ve enjoyed it more if Cameron wasn’t on my mind. The minute Sally left, I asked to talk to Cameron. “Do you think we can have a private conversation…?” I asked him nervously. His eyes lit up, like he knew what I was talking about. “Of course girly.” He smiled.
