BARCODE
It's already Friday. I cannot believe it. It feels like it was just Saturday, when I met him. 5 days had already gone.
In the last week all I could think about was when will Friday come. And now that it came I'm suddenly feeling nervous.
Hia Jeff has already texted me the address of where I need to go. I was in school right now. I told Ta everything about how I met Hia Jeff and how he invited me for the party.
At first he was quite shocked hearing about it. Then he suggested that he will take me for the party. But I refused telling him that I'll take a cab.
Soon the school was over and we bid our goodbyes. I quickly reached home and started getting ready. It was already 4pm when I reached home.
I took a shower, ate some snacks and started choosing a dress. I've never been to a party before, so I had no idea what to wear. P'Jeff told that it was just like a get together of friends so any casual wear will do.
After an hour of searching I finally decided what to wear. I picked up a sea green crop top with a black jacket come hoodie above it, and black pants.
After I got ready I checked everything and booked a cab. Soon I reached my destination. It was an apartment, nothing different from a normal one. Nothing looked too luxurious
I called the number of Hia Jeff.
"Hello" I heard his deep voice from the other side of the line.
"Hello...Hia it's me Barcode..." I said.
I heard him chuckling, "Yes I know. Your number is saved in my phone. Are you here?"
"Yes...I'm in front of the apartment..." I said.
"Ok wait for me, I'll go get you..." He said as he hanged up.
After a minute I saw Hia come out of the building. A wide smile pasted on his lips. He was looking absolutely stunning even if all he was wearing was a casual multicolour shirt with black pants.
He came close to me and slowly patted my head.
"You came..." He said, "I'm so happy you came"
"Hia invited me personally..." I said, "How can I not come after that?"
He smiled, "Come, let me introduce you to my friends" He said as he slowly draped his hands on my waist and dragged me inside with him.
Only god knows what I was feeling when his hand would occasionally touch the bare skin of my waist. We went inside the lift and I saw him punch the button for the last storey, the 36th floor.
As the lift started going up, Hia came close to my ears and whispered, "You know what...you're looking cute in this outfit" And once again the cold metal of one of his rings rubbed against the bare skin of my waist.
"Th..thank you" I said as I stumbled while he catched me.
"Oi, careful there" He said as he laughed.
Then he pulled away his hand from my waist and helped me stand straight. This time he held my hand.
"Hold my hand" He said, "Don't fall again"
I just nodded as I obeyed him. All these happened even before we reached the 20th floor. 16 floors more to go.
As we crossed the 20th floor I could see Hia taking glances at me occasionally while he rubbed his thumb on my hand which he was holding. He had rings in nearly all of his fingers. He had many piercings in his ear, but right now he was wearing only a platinum ring.
As I took a glance at him, I saw him looking at me. I quickly diverted my gaze. I could feel him smirking while he was still gazing at me. I could not stop myself from looking at him. Why the hell is he so damn handsome!
I slowly looked at him again. He was still staring at me. I gulped. His stare was sending tingling sensation all over my body. I could feel our faces come closer to each other. When our lips were only 1 centimeter apart, he whispered, "We reached..."
I snapped out. I looked to see that the elevator doors already opened. I looked down blushing. What on earth were you thinking Barcode! Hia smiled as he dragged me out with him. I quietly followed him.
As we reached his apartment door, he took out the keys and looked at me smiling.
"Ready to meet everyone?" He asked.
I just nodded in reply. He then unlocked the door and opened it.
"Hey g-" He could not complete his words as a pillow landed directly on his face.
As I saw inside I could see the whole place was in ruins. The pillows were split into half and cotton lying everywhere. All things messed up. Food scattered everywhere and cans of alcohol lying here and there.
I could see many familiar faces. It was none other than the KinnPorsche cast. I could see nearly all of them. So these were the friends Hia was talking about. I could not believe that the respected KinnPorsche cast were playing pillow fight like kids.
"You bastards..." Hia Jeff shouted as he went towards them with the pillow in his hands, "I just went out for 10 minutes and you have already turned my whole apartment upside down"
He then throw the pillow towards P'Apo. P'Apo ducked in time and the pillow hit P'Tong.
"Oi Jeff why did you hit me huh?" He whined.
"That was not meant for you P'Tong" P'Jeff said, "That was meant for this bastard" He pointed towards P'Apo.
"Ai Jeff...why me? There are so many here. Why do you think that I did it huh?" P'Apo justified himself.
"Because..." Hia said, "You're the only one here who can cause so much damage" He again picked up a pillow and threw it at P'Apo. This time it hit him.
"You little devil..." P'Apo said.
"Whom are you calling little huh?" Hia said.
And that's how it began. Another pillow fight. Pillows were being thrown everywhere. Everyone cheered for them. Only P'Mile seemed to enjoy without commenting. No one seemed to notice me yet. I was smiling ear to ear seeing them bicker and fight like children.
"Ok enough now, stop it both of you" I heard P'Gameplay say.
"Come on Apo..." P'Bible cheered for P'Apo.
"Oi Bible why are you cheering for Apo? You should cheer for Jeff" P'Build said.
"I can cheer for anyone I want" P'Bible replied.
"Oh is that so..." Saying this P'Build picked up a pillow and threw at P'Bible.
Both of them started another pillow fight. Suddenly P'Bible came out of nowhere and hid behind me. So as P'Build threw a pillow it hit me instead of him. It hit me directly on the face and as a result I could not see anything for a moment and stumbled upon something before falling down.
"Are you ok?" P'Bible immediately came to my help.
"Umm...I'm fine" I said.
Everyone stopped fighting and Hia came to help me get up.
