IT'S SOUTH - II

South turned the shower off before stepping out of the bathroom. With only a white, fluffy towel wrapped around his naked body, he opened the lights of his bedroom, only to reveal a distracted green eyed girl sitting on his bed, causing him to jump in surprise.

"What the fuck? Have you ever heared of knocking?" He asked sarcastically while holding tightly onto his towel with one hand.

Chloe looked up from the gadget that she's holding in her hands and rolled her eyes at her brown haired neighbor. "I did. But you weren't answering, so I stole the spare key under your doormat." She said before turning her attention back to the what she was holding. "You should really start looking for an unusual place to put that, you might get robbed if it stays hidden under that old rug."

South turned around to grab some clothes from his cabinet, not noticing what the green eyed girl was holding in her hands. He entered the bathroom once again to change into a fresh pair of pj's before going back to where his neighbor is.

The brown haired boy smirked to himself when he saw that Chloe didn't even moved a muscle and just stayed in her position the entire time, but his eyes slowly widened when he realized that his neighbor was looking at the content of his old camera.

"What are doing? Give me that!" He said as he snatched the gadget quickly from the green eyed girl's grip.

"Heeeeeyyyyy! I wasn't done watching!" Chloe whined and pouted, looking at South with slight irritation.

The latter just rolled his eyes before shutting the camera off and placing it back inside its old bag. "You shouldn't go through people's belongings without permission, you know?"

Chloe scoffed, standing up from the bed and walking towards the newly moved boy. "You were so much nicer to that girl in the video. Alexa?" She stopped right behind the twenty-one-year-old boy, making sure to leave only a few inches between their bodies. "Is she, like, your girlfriend?"

South turned around only to be met with the green eyed girl's face that is only a few inches away from his. He tried to ignore the weird feeling that is currently building inside his stomach as he gets lost in the various shades of green in his neighbor's stunning eyes. He wanted to slap himself for getting distracted on the beauty possessed by Chloe's emerald orbs once again, but how can he blame himself for that? Anyone who sees these gems THIS close would, too.

Releasing out a forced cough, South looked away and replied, "Why do you care?" He walked away from his annoying neighbor and sat at the edge of his bed where the latter was once sitting a few seconds ago. "Are you, like, jealous?" He asked, copying the green eyed girl's tone.

Chloe just rolled her eyes at her neighbor once more. "See? That attitude's far diffrent from the one you had in the video."

"Just shut up."

"You shut up."

South covered his face with both hands in frustration. God, could she be more annoying? He let out a deep sigh, trying his best to stay calm because despite of being a serious pain in the ass, she knew that Chloe didn't deserve to be yelled at.

"Chloe, why did you come here?" He asked as he removed his hands from his face. He looked at the green eyed girl and saw her holding the camera once again. Without saying anything else, the brown haired boy stood up and walked towards his neighbor. He stopped right infront of the distracted green eyed girl and grabbed the camera from her hands.

"Hey, come on I wanna watch!" Chloe tried to reach out once again but South raised the small gadget up so the green eyed girl wouldn't be able to reach it.

"What is it that you need?" South questioned again, still raising the camera up in the air and looking straight at his annoying neighbor's eyes.

When she realized that there is no way the brown haired boy was letting her borrow his camera, Chloe eventually gave up. She crossed her arms and sighed. "I just wanted to hang out."

"Well, I can't."

"Why?"

"Because I'm going to bed."

"Can I come in bed with you?"

South's eyes widened at the raven haired girl's question. He knew that it wasn't serious, but what he didn't understand is why his heart started racing as if it's going to leap out of his chest.

He opened her mouth to try and respond normally, but he couldn't help but stutter as he did. "S-shut up and leave."

"Fine." Chloe said as she headed towards the door of the brown haired boy's apartment. She barely reached the exit when she turned around once again to face South, who's following her behind.

"Can you take a photo of me in there?"

South sighed, the coldness in his eyes still not going away as he stared at the pouting green eyed girl.

"No."

"Please?"

"I said no."

"Pretty please?"

"Chloe."

"Alright, alright. I'm going." The green eyed girl rolled her eyes before leaning in and pressing a soft kiss on her brown haired neighbor's cheek, who was clearly caught off guard at the sudden gesture.

Chloe smirked to herself when she saw the effect of the kiss on her newly moved neighbor. "Goodnight, Stanley." She said teasingly, bringing the latter back to reality.

The brown haired boy sighed, trying his best not to carry the green eyed girl and throw her out of his apartment himself. "I already told you, it's South."

"Okay, Stan." Chloe smiled at him teasingly and winked before walking out of the apartment.
