[2]
Well... I can finally truthfully say that I've gotten used to talking to these people. And probably used to the fact that appearantly they are my new "family". Hopefully I won't get too close as to harm them more than anyone in the past. Luckily though, for the past weeks, I've been so caught up with my studies, the only time I did see them was for breakfast and during the weekends if they weren't filming.
"I don't get it," I murmured to myself while walking down the hallway towards the lobby, "If Calvin's parents really did want to adopt me, WHY ON EARTH IS NO ONE HOME!" I shouted. Today was a Saturday afternoon, WHO GOES TO WORK ON A SATURDAY AFTER NOON?! Besides, it was the first day ever since I started school here in Taiwan that I had no homework. I wasn't even aloud out of the house without one of my "accompaniments." You know what? Forget it, I'm getting out of here. Making my way to the parking lot, I got in my car (which I didn't even get to drive except for once with Arron after school.) Just as I started the engine a voice called out to me.
"Ditching eh? I wonder what your parents would say when I tell them." I looked out the side of my red convertable to see Arron standing beside his car which had just pulled in appearantly. "You wouldn't dare," I replied with my eyes narrowed.
"Your right I wouldn't," He replied with a smile. I gave a slight chuckle, he was always like that. "I wouldn't, but only if you tell me where you're going."
"I was hoping you'd know," I told him, and for once, I looked up at him long enough to end up staring at his facial features. His eyes, the bottom lashes are so... long they make his eyes look... mesmerizing. He was... just plain adorable.
He widened his eyes in concern, "are you okay?" he asked as I snapped out of my dream world. I nodded and opened the passenger door for him to get in. Within two minutes we were setting off in the direction on the free way. "Hey, go off the next exit." He told me. Without questioning I switched lanes and drove swiftly off the ramp. "Okay and take a right at the next light." I did as I was told and soon, we were at an asian snack bar.
"Two skewers of fishballs and two strawberry bubble tea please." he ordered. Within two minutes, the food was served to our table. "Eat up," he demanded.
I sighed and bit one off the stick. "Wow it's good." I acknowledged.
He rolled his eyes and ate some of his. "Of course." However, I stopped in mid bite. "Whats the catch?" I asked suspiciously. He rolled his eyes again. "Can't I just bring a friend out to eat?" I ignored it and continued to chew on the meat. "Hurry up, we're going to a movie next." he told me.
I looked up at him. "Is it just me or does it sound like a-"
"Date."
I was right. My relationship with Arron had grown a lot closer since we first met. Several times, he would pick me up from school, trying to stay as conspicuous as possible. It's only then, I found out how hard it was being a celebrity.
Before, I naturally hated all celebrities (part of my reason for my reaction the first day) because I felt that they don't use their money right and they think they're all that. My thoughts on that haven't changed, but more like influenced when I fould out how hard they had it. Arron, Calvin, Jiro and Chun, always being tackled by fans and papparazi.
It didn't take long beforeI was exposed to being Calvin's step-sister. The rumours before that were crazy.
"Calvin and new girlfriend? Both constantly found living and visitting the Chen residence. Possibly engaged?" I almost laughed that one off. That's when I lost it. Throughout that one week, the rumours have been going off the charts, spotting me with Arron here, Jiro there, Chun somewhere else. They thought I was a whore!
That's when I put my foot down. "Seriously Calvin, tell the media before I blow it." Me and my brother haven't been on good terms since then. We've ignored each other as much as possible. Him, knowing from the first day that I didn't like being here, especially because I didn't want anything to do with him. The rest of the Fahrenheit members I got along well with. Even Chun who is more or less 10 years older than me.
Now, the streets knew the whole truth. They know me as being "Calvin Chen's little sister." great.
"What movie do you want to watch?" Arron asked. We were parked outside the theatre. (We'd learned that debating movies right in front of the entrance, was definately not a good plot. Not with fans running wild) Even now and then, people would stare. Whether at the car or at us, I'm not sure, but they're there.
"I dunno, you choose." I mumbled. He nodded.
In the end, we both decided on a comedy romance film. I couldn't help but imagine the magazine head lines if someone had spotted us. Something along the lines of: Arron Yan dating bandmate's sister? or Fahrenheit's youngest member caught watching romance film with bandmate's sister. Something that Calvin would have trouble getting off his back. Not that much trouble ( I gotta admit, their manager has some skills,) but enough to bother him? Maybe.
Luckily, we weren't attacked by paparrazi, or huge mobs of people, just a few fans or so, sitting in the same theatre. The snack bar girl (of the typical styreotype, braces, visor and part-time job uniform) also noticed Arron and gave him a discount which I found weird I mean c'mon! I'm here too!
We sat down before the movie near the top, but a few rows down smack in the middle of the row, Arron to my right. Some next fan girl sat on his other side. She smiled enthusiastically at him, whipping up a conversation about his plans and filming and all that crap. He answered in a friendly tone, grinning as well.
She then took out a camera.
"Can I have a picture with you?" she asked hopefully. I gotta admit, she has some guts. And she's pretty, more beautiful than the average. The type that can make normal people jealous. But I rolled my eyes at that, pretty or not, she's still annoying.
BeforeArron had answered, I excused myself.
Arron stared after me in concern. Too bad I didn't care. I cursed on my way out of the theatre as I made my way towards the rest room. "Stupid Arron. Stupid fans. Stupid family. Stupid Calvin. Stupid life. I hate it. What kinda date is this. Stupid Arron. Messed up fans. THIS ISN'T FAIR!" I screamed, through my teeth.
Fine, I'll admit it. I'm jealous. Fully jealous. Arron said so, it's a date. I know I'm thinking too much of it and that I'm not good enough for him, BUT STILL! A girl is born to be jealous. URRGGGG!
