Getting my attention

Melanie and I were watching Kailan and she was waving, so Melanie started waving and saying bye. I could see from the side of my eye that she was looking at me but I kept looking straight at the TV. So to get my attention she put her face in front of mine and  looked me in the eyes and started waving and saying bye. I was surprised because she was actually making an effort to get my attention, she would never do that before.
