Lady gaga, the fame
As I walked into Baskin Robbins, I was immediately swarmed by gorgeous fan girls. Their high pitched screams were enough to deafen me. They raised their chocolate coated ice cream cones high in the air as they chanted my name. JEREMY!!!! JEREMY!!!! A pretty blonde in an extremely short skirt walked up to me.
"Hey. Can I have your autograph?" She winked and held out a pen and paper. I smiled and more screams ensued.
I sighed. If only that were the case. I shoved a spoonful of melting strawberry ice cream in my mouth. I'd come all the way from Europe to start a career in music and what did I get? Nothing. Nothing at all. You'd think someone as talented as me would at least have a few fans, but I haven't even signed a single autograph yet.
I changed my train of thought to something more positive and looked over at my fellow band mates. I hadn't known them for long, but I could already tell we'd get along alright. There was Shin woo, who seemed nice enough, (He was kind of boring, though.) and Hwang Tae Kyung, who seemed slightly anti-social. Our president, Ahn who was also with us today, was going on about some sort of financial something or other. I didn't even bother listing. The most useful thing that the man has done for us so far was order a pizza. Pepperoni and lots of cheese… I wonder if there's a pizza store nearby….
The little bells on the door dinged as someone entered. It was a young woman wearing a purple sequin dress and bright yellow leggings. She made a beeline to our table and stood in front of president Ahn for a moment or two, then raised her hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
" Ow…" The girl eyed Tae Kyung, Shin Woo and I before saying anything.
"Why haven't you called me back about these three yet? You hire me as their stylist, then never talk to me again? No meeting or nothing?" She held her purse up as a threat.
"Calm down! Just stop. How did you even find us?" As he asked, the girl just grunted and rolled her eyes at him.
"You. Me. Meeting. Right now." she raised her purse a little higher. President Ahn gave us a look.
"Alright. Alright. Sorry boys. Another time. Don't be out too late." The girl grabbed him by the ear and yanked him through the door and into the streets.
The three of us sat in silence, eating our ice cream. I frowned down at my melted bowl of strawberry ice cream. At least the cherry would never melt. I picked it up by the steam and held it in front of my eyes to examine. "Do you like cherries, Tae Kyung?"
"I'm allergic. I eat one, I die." I pouted at his response and turned to Shin woo, who was sitting calmly beside me. I dangled it in front of his face tauntingly.
"You want it don't you? I know you want I" Just then the cherry slipped from my fingers and fell as a splotch on Shin Woo's clean white shirt. Another awkward silence.
"Shin Woo…" Tae Kyung broke the silence. "Is that my shirt?" He pointed at the now cherry/ice cream splattered shirt. Shin woo looked down.
"Oh... I guess it is." Before anyone could say anything else, yet another girl came up to us. Both her hair and acne covered skin were coated in a layer of grease. She wore big circular glasses and had snot coming out of her left nostril. Tae Kyung looked about ready to puke.
"Excuse me, you're A. right?" she made a odd sort of snorting sound as she laughed. "I'm Mai, your biggest fan! I've already got your pictures in my locker and my bedroom and other places too! Oh, excuse me." She leaned forward to sneeze. All over what was left of my ice cream. She wiped the remaining snot on her hand, then wiped her hand on Shin Woo's, or should I say Tae Kyung's, shirt.
"He he he…" She reached her same hand forward to shake Hwang Tae Kyung's. He just stared at her in fear. Shin woo jumped in and unwillingly and stiffly reached forward and looked away as she shook it. I guess no matter what, a fan is a fan. And this was our first fan. Suddenly I heard a familiar song. It was an A.N. Jell song. The girl gave a crooked, yellow, smile and pulled a phone out of her pocket.
"Hello? Oh, hi mother. He threw up again? Alright, I'll be there in a second. Bye." The girl didn't even glance at us before making a run for the door. The other two pushed away their half eaten ice cream.
"We're leaving." Hwang Tae Kyung said as he stood from the table and walked out the door.
_______________
We'd been walking for about five minutes and were already lost. The three of us were in some sort of park, that had trees, pretty flowers, benches, and of course, the three of us.
"If we find a phone booth we could just call ahn to come pick us up. None of you have your cell phones on you, right?" I wasn't listing to Shin Woo. I was too busy poking seagulls with and stick I had found on the ground. I saw a funny looking one - it had brown spots, was unnaturally fat, and had no neck. I smiled as I poked it in the behind. It ran on it's fat little legs then turned around to hiss at me. I laughed and the others gave me a weird look.
I looked at Hwang Tae Kyung, who gave a random and sudden gasp. I found the reason for his gasp when I followed his gaze to his shoulder. On it sat a fresh pile of seagull crap. Hwang Tae Kyung shuddered as I laughed.
"I need a new shirt. Now." he looked over at Shin Woo, noticed the stains, then shook his head in disproval. He turned over to look at my shirt, but in a matter of seconds, he'd changed his interest to the other people in the park.
"What? What's wrong with my shirt?" I asked.
"It's pink."
"So?"
"I don't wear pink." I crossed my arms and glared at him. What's wrong with pink? A little color couldn't hurt him.
As if on cue, an unexacting victim came into view, about Tae Kyung's age and size. Tae Kyung walked right up to him and looked him in the eye.
"Switch shirts with me." He said. The boy looked slightly alarmed, and stepped back a few paces.
"I'm a celebrity you know." Tae Kyung said as he took another step closer to the boy.
"I've never… I don't think I've ever seen you before…" Tae Kyung looked annoyed. The boy's eye almost popped out of his head as Tae Kyung reached into his pocket.
"Don't touch me." Said the boy, afraid Tae Kyung might be reaching for a weapon. To the boy's shock, Tae Kyung pulled out a one hundred dollar bill from his pocket. The boy almost smiled.
A few minutes later, Tae Kyung emerged from behind a tree, now clad in a plain black T-shirt. In the distance I could see the boy walking away in Tae Kyung's old bird poop stained' designer top. All three of us then found a bench to rest on.
Shin Woo then began to talk.
"So President Ahn wanted us to get ice cream to get to know each other. I think he'll be mad if we haven't learned by the time we get back." I stared at him.
"All right." I started. "I'm Jeremy. I've only been in Korea for a few months now. Before that I lived with my Mom and Dad in England.=
Tae Kyung then butted in. "You're British?" I nodded. Shin woo spoke next.=
"Shouldn't you have an accent or something? Aren't all British people like (here he spoke in an imitation of a British accent) 'Oh, bloody Hell! I've got to take my doggie to the lou!"
"I don't talk like that!" I defended myself. Tae Kyung nodded.
"I've met some British people and they all sound like that, every single one." A passer-by who was eavesdropping laughed and imitated me.
"Let's have some tea and biscuits! Bloody hell!" Who was this guy? I looked at my new band mates to find them snickering.
"Fine, I'll leave. I really will, don't try to stop me!" I didn't move, but they were still snickering. So I walked away, forcing myself not to look back.
I found myself at a bus stop, half an hour later. Back in England, when I was feeling down, I'd always take a ride on a bus to calm myself down. Right now, I was feeling homesick. I missed my Mom and Dad, and my magic bus.
Just then a set of blinding lights stopped in front of me. I smiled a little, and got on. To my relief I was the only passenger. I'd take a calm, long ride and then head back to find the others. I sat down, and gazed absentmindedly out the window. The bus was about to leave again when someone else climbed about. Oh well, one person wouldn't make a difference right?
Wrong. To my absolute horror, the girl who stepped into the isle looked oddly familiar. She scrambled over, and then to my disbelief she sat down right beside me!
She looked at me through her foggy glasses and gave an odd sort of snort.
"Hey baby. It's me, Mai, from the ice cream store. Remember?" She moved closer to me.
This would be a loooooong time.
