A new story I have written that takes up after book 4.

I meet him in the park; it has become our meeting place. We do not speak to one another at school but choose to just walk past each other in the hallways. Sometimes I catch him looking at me and he response by smiling, pretending it is because of something one of his friends said, but I know better. Yet, it makes me happy. Sometimes when there are not many people around I smile back, other times I just turn around quickly. I do not know why we keep it a secret for everyone. Yet again I do not know what it is we are keeping secret. We had been on one date and he had kissed me, (I was rather unwilling) and we had argued and made up. But we had not really done anything else since. Well, not like a couple at least. We meet at the park and he teaches me how to skate. We have a good time, he walks me home and bids me good night and then walks away. Truth to be told we are acting like good friends and I never thought that I would feel disappointed about it. I think he understand my need to take it slow. And it makes me want to speed everything up.

I glance behind me in the classroom. He is sitting by his desk and starring absently out off the window, not at all disturbed by all the noise surrounding him. It is funny when I think about it, but Siho is always surrounded by people in class. It seems that despite the fact of the "bad boy" vibes he gives sometime, it does not stop people from admiring him and girls to throw him longing glances. And as uncomfortable as I fell about admitting it, I feel both proud and jealous at the same time. I'm happy that people admire him, makes my heart fell warm, but I can't help feeling jealous when the girls are showing their interest openly, something I have not been able to bring myself to do despite that I am more close to Siho then most of the girls. And he likes me. At least I think he does. Why else put all the effort he made in getting to know me?

Suddenly he turns and looks at me, as If he sensed me looking at him. He has a crooked smile on his lips and he raises one eyebrow questioningly. I immediately turn my head towards Jae Eun and pretend to be listening to the conversation she is having with another girl. I know he is smirking at me, but I cannot bring myself to look back. It is way too embarrassing. I sense myself phone vibrating in my jacket pocket and I pick it up. The display shows a new text message, and his number. I have managed to memorize his number by now.

Can we see each other after school? / Siho

A warm feeling surge down my spine and I can feel myself blushing. Jae Eun notice it to and bends down to see the reason to my blushing. A big smile spreads on her face and she looks at me with hopeful eyes. Eyes that are practically screaming to say yes. I shake my head at her reaction and feel thankful that I am sitting with my back turned towards Siho. I take a deep breath and text him back:

I have a meeting after school that I need to attend but that should not take too long. At the park, usual spot?

I get his answer in less than a second.

Great, I will be waiting.

I cannot help but smile….

So, what do you think…? First time I write anything in ages…
