Amina's POV

" If They Say -
Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way..."

Human Nature... A song from "Thriller" album. Gosh, I love that album so damn much. I LOVE Michael Jackson. I am a very huge fan. Though I've known him since we both were kids, I- wait a second, you don't know our past and I'm already talking about us. Well, it has a very interesting story.

You won't believe but I studied in the same class with Michael at the Gardner Street Elementary School. Yes, with Michael Jackson. Crazy, right? Well, not back then. We were really close friends those days when he was not famous. I was the only person he always talked to at school. We had such a strong bond that no other BFFs were like us. BFF stands for "Best Friends Forever", right? Unfortunately we were BFUF-"Best Friends Until Fame". After he rose in fame, our friendship ended. To be honest, I was, and I am still, proud of him, but also very disappointed in him. Like, was I really such a bad friend? I don't think so. Music made him famous but also made him forget me gradually. But that's the music that I am a huge fan of. What if he knew I am his fan. *giggles*

The same day
Jackson's Encino Estate
Michael's POV

"Janet, give that back to me" I said.

"No, I really want to look inside" Janet said with pouted lips.

"Janet, please, there's nothing interesting about it!" I was getting a bit annoyed.

"Brother, please?" She looked at me with those unbearably cute puppy eyes. Argh, she knew my weakness.

"Ugh, all right".

"Yay!" Janet exclaimed.

I smiled rolling my eyes. We sat on the couch. She opened the first page. It was my yearbook. I totally forgot that I had this here. Well, I was a bit excited. As she was turning the pages, I could remember the good memories. Then I saw the pictures of my classmates.

"Hahaha look at this guy's glasses" Janet laughed.

"Where, let me see" I laughed too. "Oh Janet, this is not right". I tried to put on a serious face, but to no avail. It was hard not to laugh.

I got so bored with her spending so much time analyzing every single photo that I began to read one of the magazines on the coffee table. But every time she kept asking me questions about those people.

"Wow! This girl is so beautiful!" Janet said.

I looked at the photo. And suddenly "Oh my god, Janet! This is Amina. Oh, she was my best, best, BEST friend at school. How could I forget her" I said.

"Oh wow. How come you never told me about this girl?!" she said playfully hitting me on the arm. Then she continued: "If she was this beautiful at that age, just imagine how beautiful she is now".

I could imagine how beautiful she could be. Well, to tell the truth I had a crush on her back then. But I had been such a bad friend since my career started. I might even break her heart.

I quickly grabbed the yearbook and started turning the pages where there was information about the students. I looked up for Amina. And there she was. I asked Janet to bring a piece of paper and a pen. And she did. I wrote down her address and phone number then stood up running towards my room. And Janet stayed there confused.
