Billie Jean, Look At Me - Ep 1 (30mins)
YBH was sleeping at the bus stop, and CHS sat on the bench next to her.
She bumped her head against the bus stop post in her sleep, and he commented that it must have hurt.
CHS: Why isn't there blood?
YBH fell off her seat and dropped an envelop of money.
CHS picked it up, she woke up and chased after CHS who ran away with the money.
YBH: Stop thief! Return my money.
YBH chased CHS down the street and then down the stairs.
CHS fell at the bottom of the stairs and the money flew out of the envelop.
YBH didn't help CHS but picked up her money instead. Then she felt her head ached and wondered why it hurt.
YBH: Blood. Did you injure me while I was asleep to rob me? You hit my head. I'm going to kick your back while you're unconscious as my revenge.
YBH recognised him as her 'Billie Jean.'
Flash Back 10 years ago
YBH nicknamed him as Billie Jean.
CHS moved next door to YBH.
YBH secretly had a crush on him.
YBH wrestled with her conscience whether to spy on CHS through her window or not.
YBH: I mustn't look. I should forget about wanting to look.
YBH's brother entered her bedroom and held her embarrassing granny underwear.
YBH's brother: I found your underwear in my draw. You got a hole in your underwear.
YBH's brother teased her and spun her underwear in the air.
YBH: Give back my underwear.
YBH's brother threw it out of the window and it landed in CHS's bedroom.
YBH: Crazy brother!
YBH stepped over the window ledge and climbed into CHS's room and retrieved her underwear.
YBH noticed CHS's room looked similar to her own room, and wondered if he shared the same interests as her.
YBH's friend busted her sneaking into CHS's room, and wouldn't let her back into YBH's room until she agreed to steal some of CHS's personal items for them to sale to his fans.
YBH: You're crazy.
But YBH relented.
First YBH opened CHS's diary and read his daily scheduled events (Back in 1997, electronic diaries were not mainstreamed that's why he kept a manual diary).
YBH: He's dating someone? They're meeting at the park today?
YBH hid behind shrubs and spied on CHS and his date on swings at the park.
YBH: They're a real couple. What is he saying to her to make her look so happy?
CHS kissed his date.
YBH followed CHS home (it's funny that it took her a while before she realised she didn't have to stalk him, because they were neighbours and she could have openly walked on the same path with him).
CHS was moon walking backward and a car drove behind him.
YBH came out of hiding and pushed him out of the way, but fell on top of him.
YBH: There was a car. You were about to be run over.
CHS: Where's the car?
YBH: That's strange. It was directly behind you. I'm sorry.
CHS stood and pulled her up.
CHS: Are you hurt?
YBH: No. I'm fine. Thank you for asking.
CHS: You're knee's bleeding.
YBH: Omg, blood.
CHS: You should be more careful. Where do you live? I'll piggy back you home.
YBH: But I'm too heavy.
At CHS's home, CHS's mother announced she's remarrying and it's someone who lives in England.

The object of the heroine's affections nickname is Billie Jean. She has secretly liked him for ten years, and always wanted him to look at her. The play on Michael Jackson's Billie Jean song lyrics, 'Billie Jean, Look At Me' is a sweet title that captures the main story.
Is it possible to still like someone from school days, if ten years later that person was a penniless bum?
Yes team: If money isn't an issue then it's not hard to still be attracted to someone without money.
No team: After ten years, past memories are not that vivid and feelings not as intense.
Is it better to be born with no talent but with proactive personality than being born talented with a can't be bothered attitude?
Yes team: Sometimes those who lack talent, motivates them to strive for more to compensate for their lack of talent.
No team: Even though sometimes those with talent take it for granted, they can use their talent to escape from their day to day reality.
