~Gianna~
"Wake up sleepy head" My bestie, Bianca hit a pillow on my head.
" Can't a girl sleep peacefully?" I whined and sat up groggily.
" It's past twelve Gigi, the day is really bright for you to sleep in and you know your parents will find you here sooner or later if you don't get your ass moving"
" Do you know?" I asked suspiciously
"Yeah, your sister called me yesternight. She told me everything"
I stood and stretched my body, letting out a yawn.
"Okay, so what next?"
"You have any plan?" She asked
My eyes lit up as I remembered the list of things I've always wanted to do.
I bobbed my head and looked around for my bag.
I scrunched up my face exasperatedly.
"Where the hell is my bag?"
"Will you keep it low, my parents are still sleeping" She cautioned and walked towards her closet.
I rolled my eyes and fold my arms.
"Walk faster kiddo, I'm waiting"
"You know, it will do you good if you learn to be patient" she replied and opened her closet.
Seconds later, she brought out my bag and slid it across the floor to me.
"Let me guess, I'm not going to like whatever it is you're going to show me"
I shrugged and opened the bag, rummaging through it.
I pulled my journal out from the depth of the bag and showed it to Bianca.
"What's that?" She moved closer.
"Find out yourself" I grinned and sat back, pleased with myself.
"Nine things I wish to do? Really?" She raised an eyebrow.
" Yes, really. Now turn the page."
She gave me a long look and I thought she wasn't going to open the next page.
"Fine" she sighed and flipped the page.
"Date my celebrity crush? Get drunk? Jump off a cliff??!!!! Buy an entire concert? Build an animal shelter? Say yes to everything for a day? Get into trouble and commit an heinous crime? Kiss the president's son? Get hit by a truck??? WTF!! Gianna?? Are you crazy?"
" Keep it low girl, remember your parents are sleeping" I smiled cheekily.
" Damn you Stupid, these are impossible wishes. How are you going to do this?"
I looked down, noticing how clean the tiles in her room were.
"What happened to I wish to hang out with a few friends, go shopping, watch movie all day, go on a date and stuffs?"
"I know it's crazy" I replied in a low voice "but it's what I want Bia, can't you just support me?" I batted my eyelashes at her.
" It's not going to work me. They are crazy wishes"
" You know I'm going to do it with or without your help right?"
" Yeah I know and it leave me no choice than...."
" Than????" I wriggled my eyebrow at her, my eyes laughing
"Than to throw you out the window silly." She laughed.
"Who's your celebrity crush?"
"Kim Hyung Joong"
" Helloooo" she waved her hand at my face "we're in the real world, not fantasy"
"I know" I pursed my lips
" Okay, since Korea is far from here, should we look for someone who looks exactly like him?"
My senses came alive at the thought " it's a very good idea Bia"
"Yes, let's send out a vacancy online and see if anyone would apply"
" What about their pay? I don't have anything on me well apart from my life savings and some money in my credit card."
" I'll handle everything"
**************************
" Hi, my name is Jace, I'm an America- Korean and an exact replica of idol Kim Hyung Joong."
I gave him an once-over, he looks no where like my crush.
"Next person" I said calmly, he took that as his cue and left.
Bia rented a hall for the interview so as to avoid questions from her parents.
Instead of the next person to come in, Bia came in instead with a worried look.
They keep coming in hundreds Gigi.
"None of them like Kim?"
She shook her head sadly
Send them off then, I'll replace that wish.
"With?"
"Exploring a cave!!!" I've always wanted to do that"
She looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"And you'll sponsor me" I added
"You really are insane. I didn't want to believe it earlier but it's getting hard to clear that doubt."
" My gawd Bia, you are my best friend"
"Yeah and best friends are supposed to help each other out of trouble, not get into one. How do I explain the expenses to my parents"
" You'll think of something"
" You're just to im- por- see- ble"
" Yeah I know right"
" Oh here" she reached into the pocket of her hoodie " have this, I made it for you" she opened her palm to reveal a glittery accessory with nine black knots"
" Is that......?"
" Yeah it's a bracelet with ten knots. Each knot representing a wish"
" But I have only nine wishes"
" Who knows you might get a last minute wish" she shrugged and fastened the bracelet on my wrist.
"It's beautiful, thanks"
"Anything for you" her voice shook. " I'm going to miss you Gigi, you're my first real friend"
" I'll miss you too, we can't change destiny that's why I want to live out my wishes"
She nod her head in understanding "I'll prepare your ride to whatever cave ya going to. Promise to buy enough food and call me when you my need my help."
" I promise" I replied and pulled her into a hug.
