I'm Still Waiting 

It was a cold winter day, but it didn’t snow. The busy road was filled with people rushing to buy Christmas presents for their lovers. Kelly stood on the corner of a big red gift shop for hours. She watched people passing by, not thinking of anything but just feeling the wind on tip of her nose. It was last winter when he suddenly came into her life. One day, Kelly was in the gift shop buying Christmas presents for her friends. Right when she was about to go to the counter with her arms stacked with piles of boxes, someone bumped into her. If it was like any other time, she would’ve angry but she wasn’t. She noticed that person who bumped into her was Kurt, who she had crush on and lived next door in the States when she was young. He was wearing white muffler around his neck, which Kelly liked it. He didn’t recognize her at first but moment later, he remembered her soon after. Later that day, it started to snow a lot and Kelly was shivering. Kurt wrapped his white muffler around her neck, saying "This matches with you more than it does with me. It shows your pureness". After that day, they got to catch up with each other and slowly became close friends again.

Kurt always reminded Kelly how good friend she was, but she wasn’t happy. She wanted to more than just friends. What hurt Kelly the most was that he always suffered and ask for help because he couldn’t get over with his previous girl friend. Every time when he said that he misses her, she felt like her heart was ripping little by little. She wondered every day who the girl that Kurt couldn’t live without is, and wished to see her even just for a moment. Her wish came sooner than she thought. One day, she got a phone call with from her best friend saying that she can't deal with her break up. Kelly did best to make her feel better and ask if she could come out to the gift shop that they met last week. When Kelly and her friend met, they sat in front of the shop and talked about her previous boyfriend. Some thing was strange. More her friend described about her boyfriend, he sounded more like Kurt. The place he's from, how he talks, the way he squints his nose when he laughs..every thing matched perfectly. When she heard the name Kurt, she couldn't deal with it. She ran away from that place and hid in her room for months. She didn't pick up any phone calls from Kurt, trying to erase him from her memory. Eventually, Kurt went back to states, not being able to talk to Kelly after wards.

It was now the same day when Kelly first met Kurt again. She remembered how Kurt said that he will buy her red scarf for the next Christmas. They promised to spend the holiday together in the city, just like every other people. However, all that left for her was the red scarf that she bought last winter for his next Christmas present, and the white muffler that Kurt gave to her. She looked into the window of the shop for the last time and wrapped her white muffler around her neck and walked away. Right at the spot where she was standing, the red muffler remained, with her heart towards Kurt.
