" Sian lah, why must sit with her? " He muttered.
" You think I want to sit with you meh? I hate my seat lah!" She retorted.
They couldn't stand each other. Well, both of them were equally talkative. The girl, J, was seen to be cheerful and mad. Her everyday school life seems to be so fun. Everyone wanted to know her sort of secret, but she didn't know either. The guy, J, plays basketball a lot. Everyday after school, he and his friends would have lunch then go to the nearby basketball court to play all the way till night falls. Their holidays would be spent on going to the LAN shop everyday without fail and spend at least $10 on LAN gaming. Typical Secondary 2 guys. The girl always thought that he was the typical bad boy, gang outside of school, skips classes, bad results, frequent fights with people. That was her impression of him. Other than that, she knew nothing much about him.
She just had a great best friend, C, who is as playful and as mischievious as her. Well, both her and her best friend were childish in the eyes of everyone around them. They just enjoyed each other's company so much. Everyday would be full of laughter and playing pranks on people, cracking jokes. They were so close they even held hands and that was alright.
One of their classmates Q, liked that girl. The whole class knew. Even her. Although she never told Q that she knew all along. They talked all night in MSN, and would say bye and sign off when it's 11pm or so. She used to sleep so early, and wake up early to take the bus to school. Sometimes, her dad would send her to school. But he frequently went overseas, so she and her sister would take the bus to school together. Since their schools were right beside each other's. She wondered why he never got around to asking her for a relationship. When you are at that age, you just want to experience everything you can. And that was a new experience. That would be her first. But he never asked.
The guy and the girl got closer, since they were made to sit together. They would be squabbling all day. When it's time to pass down the handouts, she would intercept and not let him have a piece and quickly pass the stack down. Then he would snatch her paper away, and she would raise her hands and complain to the teacher. That kind of thing will happen regularly. Bickering was a norm everyday. But to her, that was fun. It trained her debating skills and she thought she was like a lawyer, fighting for her rights. If she won, she would feel good and she liked that. They started getting to know each other more and she found out he had this girlfriend. They were together when in Primary 6 but then they recently saw each other again and decided to patch. But afew months later, they broke up and he was feeling rather down in class, not talking much but prefering to sleep leaning to the wall (as he sat beside the wall). She couldn't care much, she really wasn't interested in him. Moreover, the Q thing was still going on. She wasn't said to be very pretty. She didn't have nice fringe and nice hair and was never conidered pretty amongst the classmates. In December that year, she told a bold step and went to get her fringe cut. She loved it. She thought she never looked better.
During the holidays, J went to school to buy books while the girl was having her Dance CCA on. During her break time, she went to the canteen, and there was when they met again.
"Hi! Long time no see ah!" The girl shouted delightedly as she waved her hands.(They were already pretty good friends at this moment)
He was surprised to see her. His eyes lit up as she smiled and they chatted. Then they bade farewell as her break ended and she had to go back. And he needed to buy his textbooks. That night, she went online (as usual) and he clicked on her name and chatted with her. They started talking and this went on for afew days. She teased him about his ex and asked if he still liked her. He said no. He liked someone in the class. She was excited to know who it was. So she kept asking questions and started guessing names of the girls in class. Chinese girls obviously. She started out with the girls he was closer to. "Nope, no lah. Haha no!" These were all the replies he sent. There were no more females left and he already said not the Malay girls. She started to get worried. Her heart pounded fast. Only her name was left. Then, her computer disconnected. Okay.. So she just shut the computer and went to bed. Since it was already 10/11pm. Then, she received a text.
"It's you lah."
