Chapter 33 A complete waste!
• Kylie's POV
“ Mom I'm going for a run", I shouted as I slipped my legs into my snickers, grabbing a bottle of water on the way out.
“ Hope you heard me ? ” I shouted again, “ Don't want you thinking that I've been kidnapped ? ”
“ Oh please, why will I think of such ? And even if you are, I won't bother looking for you”. I'm sure she rolled her eyes before responding to me.
“ Oh really ? You won't search the whole country even the whole earth just to look for me, I'm sure you can go to Mars to check if I'm there”, I said with a teasing smile waiting for her response but her reply was just two words.
“ Keep on deceiving yourself, even if the kidnappers call to inform me, I will shun them. They will even be the one to return you back.”
Is that meant to be an insult or what ?
Not knowing what to say, I frowned while adjusting my hood as I step out of the house slamming the door behind me. I walked to the gate greeted the people I came across and the guards with a smile. They offer a ride to wherever I'm going to but I declined saying I'm just going for a run.
I breathed in the fresh air immediately I walked out. The air outside smells different from the one inside. This smells like air and that smells like air. Don't ask me what I mean, because I myself don't understand what I meant.
I tucked in the earpiece in my ear plugged in my phone as music blast my eardrums. I flinched and quickly lower the volume in a suitable level.
I began my run, I ran till I got tired. I was already out of breath, I stopped running when I sighted Cheetos in a shop through the window glass. Thankfully I had some money in the pocket of my grey pants.
Cheetos here I come.
I pushed the door backward, walking into the shop. There were no much people here, that's great. I greet the cashier with a smile when he raises his head to look at me, he simply nods then went back to his phone.
How rude !
I guess he can not recognize me since my hood is covering half part of my face. I grinned as I took one of the shopping cart carrying it along with me as I skipped giddily to the snacks section.
Then I swoon immediately I saw the love of my stomach's life.
“ Oh Cheetos, Cheetos, Cheetos, Cheetos, Cheetos...” I sang, standing on my toes I stretched my hands to take it. Why the hell will they put it on the first row of the shelf ? Not everybody is tall.
“ Cheetos.” I sang in low tone, pouting.
Now this is when I need some height, I'm not short just five feet six tall. That's average in height, right ? not short, not tall. It is the shelf that is too long not my fault.
I saw a hand above my head reaching out to the Cheetos then took two. I turned to give the person the deadliest glare but a smile crawled to my face as I saw who the person is.
“ Here have it, I saw you struggling to take it so I decided to help you”, He explained stretching it to me.
I smiled at the brown haired boy who was wearing a grey hoodie with a black sweatpants, his hood was down unlike mine so it is difficult for him to recognize me.
“ Thank you Kelly”, I told him as I collect the Cheetos putting it in my cart. I wonder why I took a cart when I'm only buying Cheetos.
“ You know my name ?” He asked looking surprise as his hands rest on his cart which is filled with groceries.
“ Yes”, I nodded my head replying to him. He raised his eyebrows then ask how I knew his name.
“ Well,” I pulled my hood down, “this time I'm not referring to the surfboard.” I told him, chuckling.
“ What are you doing here ?” He asked cutting me off, “ I thought you stay in Mandalay.”
“ No, I went there to visit my dad. I'm staying in California not mandalay.” I smiled at him, I heard someone squeal. We turned our heads to where the sound. It was a brownskinned girl with a black hair.
She came running to me with a smile dancing on her lips. “ I can't believe you are here, I'm your biggest fan. I love you so much, very much.” She but her bottom lips out, clasping her hands together, she said “ Please, please, please...give me an autograph.” She batted her eyelashes pleading.
I chuckled, I so much love giving autographs.
“ A pen ? "
“ Oh, ” She chuckled, checking her backpack, she brought out a pen stretching it to me, I collected it.
She brought out all the things she want my signature on, I signed them all. It was as if she knew I'm going to be here, she even took multiple selfies with me.
After thanking me, she left feeling elated she saw me that alone brought happiness to my heart.
“ Hey let's go, I have paid for the goods”, I heard someone saying, I turned left seeing Kelly holding two white nylons in his hands. “ Here, have your cheetos.” He dipped his hand into one of the nylon then brought it out.
I took it from him and thank him with a smile even though I really wanted to pay for it myself and I don't want to either, free things are more sweeter than the things you bought.
Opening the Cheetos, I put some in my mouth chewing it softly. I pulled the hood up so I won't be recognized. I walked out of the shop with him following me.
By the time we walk out of the shop, I have already finished one, I opened the second one to eat.
“ Your house is not far from here ?” it was more of a question than a statement, he asked as he put the nylons into his car.
My mouth was filled with Cheetos but still I talk, “ Yeah, just a few...” My voice trailed off as I turned to look at the road I passed then I realized I am no near my house, I can't believe I ran that long.
“ There is no need to drop me, I love running,” *Lies* “ and there is Cheeto to keep me company.” I smiled at him waving the cheeto in my hand.
He chuckled, “ Why do you love running ? You want to be an athletic not a popstar ?”
“ Definitely not”, I blurted, “ I lied, I don't like running, it is too tiresome. I am forced to run every Saturday morning by my manager saying it keeps my body fit but my body is in great shape!” I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air.
“ Well you eating those junks, I'm sure in no time you will be fatter than this.”
“ Oh please,” I said with an eye roll, “ FYI I have a great metabolism.”
He laughed then tuck one of his hands in his pocket and the other on his neck rubbing it. “ Well you see... We met by luck and the probability of us meeting is low, so can we hangout today ?” He asked looking at me with hope filled in eyes, expecting me to say yes.
I blinked my eyelashes at him before I speak, “ I don't think...”
He did not allow me to finish my statement, he reach out to my hands. “ Please...” He begs.
“ I'm not going say no, you did not allow me to finish my statement, I was about saying that I did not think I have anything doing at home, so yes I will definitely hang out with you.” I told him with a smile on my face.
“ Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go, trust me you are going to have fun.” He held my hand taking me to wherever we are going to.

“ This is your definition of fun.” I said looking at the building infront of me.
“ Yes, you don't like it ?” He asked me, I could sense disappointment in his tone.
“ An arcade store is not very likeable to most girls but... thank God I'm not part of those girls, I love it,” He sighed in relief, “ I'm so going to beat your ass.” I held his hand dragging him inside, grinning widely.
“ You are not going to beat my ass,” He stated, boasting he says “ I'm a pro in all of these games here, so I better warn you be careful.”
I rolled my eyes then fold my hands across my chest and my lips form a smirk. “ I'm a better pro than you.”
“ Okay, if I win in any game you choose here, you get to do my wish.”
“ And if I win ? What is my gain ?”
“ Vice versa, I get to do your wish.” He said and my smirk grew wider.
I definitely love where this is going.
It will be fun doing what I did to Ashton to him but the problem is that we don't see that often.
“ I should warn you, my wishes are very technical.” I told him as I look round the arcade, there were lot of interesting games to play but one caught my eyes, I turn to face him. “ I get to choose any game I like right ?”
“ Yes, you do.” He replied.
I twitched my lips into a smirk “ Do you know how to dance ?”
“ No, not much of a dance. Terrible at it.”
“ Well if that is so, I have found the perfect game to play and that is it,” I say pointing my hand to the dancing game.
“ I can't dance,” He said shaking his head. “ Choose another one.”
“ I thought you said you are a pro in all of them. Is Kelly boo scared ? You are scaredy cat, scared I'm going to beat your ass.” I taunted him laughing, he rolled his eyes before opening his mouth to speak.
“ Okay fine, I will play because I'm not scared of you.”
“ If you say so, let's play.”
We walked to the game, he threw five coins at me and I inserted it into the box, he did the same. I climbed on the board, there were different arrow signs on it with five boxes. I stayed on the center box waiting for the game to start, then I remembered I have not clicked on start. I did that then an animated pink haired girl popped out.
“ Welcome to dance, hope you are ready ?” The voice squealed.
“ You ready ?” Kelly asked smirking, I think, I just smiled at him, wondering why he seems so at him then say yes confidently.
... If you are let's begin.” It say.
Then the game begin.
My legs moved to the direction where the game instructed me to. Left, right, left, right, center, forward, left, backward , right, center, right, backward, center, left, right and left ...
My legs were begining to ache me, why did I choose the game again ? Oh because Kelly can not dance but I was wrong.
Glancing at him, he looked like he was not having hard time doing it. It was like he was an expert, his hands folded at his back as his moves his legs rhyming with the direction of the game.
Ding!
Hearing that sound, I knew I lost a point, I placed my feet on the wrong step that made Kelly to look at him, he winked at me, smirking.
I huffed turning to my screen, the arrows started moving very fast in a way I was not able to grab. It started dinging very loud, showing me that I'm going to loose the game.
‘ Game ended.’
The dance ended awarding me forty percent, that is unfair. I'm a great dancer.
I checked Kelly's score, my mouth opened in surprise as I saw his score. His was an hundred percent meaning he did not miss any step.
I thought he...
I glanced up at him, he wiggling his eyebrows, laughing.
I frowned as it dawn to me.
He lied.
~~~~~•
“ You lied to me,” I accused him as we step out of the arcade store sipping my soda with a straw.
“ How did I ?” He raised his brow.
“ You said you can not dance but you can, you lied.”
“ I did not, I can not dance but that does not mean I can't play the game. You move according to what they said, left you step on left and right then centre very simple. Just admit it I'm a better pro than you.” He stuck his tongue at me.
“ I hate you.” I told him. I don't mean it though but right now I do. “ Just tell me your wish.” I grumbled.
“ Oh right, my wish. My wish is to get your number.” That was his wish, I thought it will be something hard. What a waste of wish, a complete waste!
“ Seriously ? That is your wish, you can not t just ask me simply, I will give it to you.”
If I am the one, I will wish for a whole pack of Cheetos and ice cream.
“ It way more fun asking like this.” He said with a laugh.
“ True, your phone.” I stretched my hand to him gesturing for his phone, he slapped it on my hand then I input my number and give it to him back.
“ Thanks, I know your stage name is Kye but what is your real name ?”
“ Kylie,” I stretched my hand to him for an handshake, “ Kylie Tanner.”
My heart warmed with a smile as he took my hand in his. “ A pleasure to meet you, miss Kylie. Mine is Kelly, Kelly Conston.”
I giggled, “ The pleasure is all mine.”Download Novelah App
