chapter 5- coincidence 27october'06
"yawn. hey, will we be late for the meeting?" she asked her brother who came with her to the outing. "i doubt so. don't think too much." he replied.
"here we are. luckily it's only 8am. we still have time. hahas. an hour to go." she said. "maybe."-her thoughts yesterday flashed back. "hmm. i just came out from my house. have you reached here?" she received an sms from him. excited but trying to be composed, she replied, " ya.. i have reached. why?" "no, just asking. i still have some time before lesson. hmm.. want to meet up?" he asked. "hahas. i doubt you can find me.!" she replied in a naughty manner but excited. she kept smiling away. "i live here for sometime. i think i can find you." he replied this message.
her phone rang and saw his number. she picked up, feeling shy, "hello? hmm. yes?" "hey, wait there okay? i'm coming soon."he answered "what?!" shocked, she flustered running to every corner she can find to avoid seeing him. "where are you..? i don't see you. almost there."he asked. "i doubt you can find me cos' i'm away from there. hahas" she lost her composure. he laughed..
she walked briskly to out of the wall to find a better place to hide.. "hees. i don't think you can find.." before she finished her sentence.. "found you!" he exclaimed with his voice coming out from the phone and from the direction he was. "ah!" she shouted, squating down; don't know where to hide. he hanged the line on the phone, and walked up to her smiling. her blood seemed to gushed to her head, she blushed. "sis! your friend?" her brother asked. "...ya" she replied.
they found a place to sit and rest. "so, what time do you have to go?" he asked. "45 mins later? approximately there."she said. "oh..i see" he answered. both of them seemed to be speechless. just then her brother squeezed his way to sit beside her, trying to push her to his side. accidentally, her head and shoulder lay against his. she quickly sit up straight and kept apologising. "nah, it's okay. hahas." he said smiling. "my brother is playful." she smiled.
they talked and played. there was even magic tricks that he performed. "time passes so fast!" she thought. "we have to go, it's already 9. well, do you want to go? we shouldn't have taken up your time. so sorry." she felt very bad. "it's okay! hmm. it's just nearby right? i see you there then i go?"he offered. "erm, okay."
"i want a drink!" my brother requested. -(-_-)lll- "oh, hahas. i don't think i have got small change, only a $2 note." -_-lll "hmm? it's okay, i have got change." he said kindly. "i change it with you?" "nah, it's okay. let me give you a treat." he suggested. so she stood in the park seeing both of them going toward the vending machine. "hm, he treats me so well. hmm. does he, does he likes me?" he came back and smiled. "i see you guys go in?" "it's okay!! i feel bad about it." she replied looking awkward. just then, she receive a call. "hello?" "have you guys reached?"the person in charge, vivian said. "yup. we're here."she said " why didn't you guys come in?" "err.."she looked at him, and turned away. "i have a friend with me outside. so i talked to him. hahas" she forgotten that she was supposed to be there on time. "nevermind. i'll see you outside."
vivian was very surprised to see a guy. "she expected a girl?" she thought. afraid that both of their knowing would be known, she got anxious. "schoolmates?" "err.. no. he's just normal outside friend."she replied to vivian's question. she continued, "where does he live? how do you got to know him then?" to her surprise, he answered, "i live in yt. we got to know each other through friends." "oh.. both of you, in relationship?" she asked again. "no.! ...we're.. not.." she replied quickly. "very well." she finally stopped asking.
"we're going to mrt station and you?" vivian asked. "ya. me too." he replied. "i'm going towards bukit batok. ya." he continued. "hey! we're going there too!" she replied excitedly at the same time trying to be composed with vivian's presence and observation. "what a coincidence, hahas. maybe we can go together since it's the same direction?"he said "yupp!" she smiled with joy.
vivian talked to him on the way while she walked with her brother. but she was not at ease. she kept looking at vivian and his direction. finally, they reached the place where they agreed to see the rest of the members. he was the only one who is in uniform. everyone started to divert their attention towards our direction. "hello. and this person is..?" questioned raphael, another person in charge. "oh, this is star's friend. ya." replied vivian. "hello. this is raphael from yue association. and you're?" "i'm star's friend, ice. ya"he answered politely. "oh." they talked to him and she was questioned by others. "hey star, your boyfriend?" her friends asked. " no. hahas. a friend of mine." she said. "well, if he's my boyfriend.. =)" she thought.
"we're going this way.. you want to come with us for lunch?" raphael asked. "oh, it's all right. i need to get back to school. i'm going towards that direction." he smiled. "oh. okay. thanks. hmm. contact later?"star said. "ya" he answered. "see you later. byebye" he smiled widely.
chapter 6 - 27october'06 the confession.
"what are you doing now.? hahas. my activity is ending soon. hmm. ya." star sent an sms to ice. "tinng" she received an sms. "oh. i just finished my revision. hahas. going soon." replied ice. "want to have dinner together?" star sent another sms. "sure. meeting place?" "we'll decide later."
star brought his brother to jurong east mrt station after deciding where to meet. "hmm. we'll go jurong east after that?" star whispered. her brother looked at her weirdly. "why? for what?"he asked softly. "we'll go eat dinner with the elder brother, ice whom you saw just now. is that okay?" "sure!" he said happily. "bye!!" both of us bid goodbyes to raphael, vivian and the rest.
"hello." they met and walked together. from one place to another. they window shop, walked to arcade. he played a game of basketball. and we went on walking and looking around. "brother ice, are you my sister's boyfriend?"my brother did something so daring that both of us went speechless.. "is there any kfc?" she pointed towards imm shopping centre. "we go see?" ice asked. "sure." "gosh. we have to jaywalk ya? and climb over then green fence. hahas." star said in humour. they jaywalked and climbed over. star's brother went cross faster than they do. just when star wants to cross, the cars are coming. however, ice was in daze. afraid that he'll be left behind and in danger, she held his wrist and ran cross. "hmm!! i'm holding his hand!!"she thought. "oh gosh!" then she blushed. but tried to treat it as nothing happened. she let go of his hand after crossing. "how would he think of me?" she walked away as fast as thunder.
they walked and walked. but still to no avail. half way, she kept rubbing her eyes. it was unbearable itching. maybe an infection. "are you all right? you want to wash your eyes?" star shook her head. he can't see her face well as she was wearing a cap. he bent down a little and looked at her. "really?" "ya. okay. hmm wash my eyes." she then went to the washroom. "i doubt there is.. we only see macdonalds. do you want to go back?" ice asked after they came out of the washroom. "i guess so..?" star replied.
again, they had to walked passed the road. after crossing and climbing, star began to daze. "hmm. " she wonder her thoughts. and suddenly, ice held her hand like she did, and ran across the road. shocked and surprised, she looked at him. he just on walking, appear to be fine and normal. but this time, her hand was held on even after crossing. she struggled her hand off lightly only to realise that he held on not letting go. smiling, as her heartbeat really really fast. trying to see his expression and see him smiling too..
they walked holding hands, and reached the fastfood restaurant. they sat down getting ready to eat. ben, star's brother said, "both of you get something to eat. i wait here." only then they let go of hands and got themselves food. she took two extra straws and made a star. "i'm weird, am i? i make star each time i go fast food restaurants. hahas" she smiled at him. after she placed her hands under the table, he held her hand again. she smiled and felt secured. ben was up to mischief, "ah! i dropped my wallet!" then he bent down looking at their hands. they quickly let go. but it was too late. "i knew it!! both of you are together.!" he exclaimed.
they went to mrt station soon after that and sat together. "i've got something important to ask you" ice whispered to her, holding her hand and got close to her. "hmm.?" she looked in front trying to pretend that nothing happened. "hmm..? confession? oh! don't read too much into it!" she thought. he lay his head against hers looking at the window, "will you be my girlfriend?" he asked. "huh?!" she blushed right away looking away. "hmm..!! for real? i really can be??" she thought. nodding her head, didn't know what she was doing anymore. "what is nod?" he teased her. "en.!" "what is 'en'?"he teased her once more. "yes!"she replied looking really shy.. "what is yes?" he continued teasing. "yes, i'll be! i'll be your girlfriend!!" she said loudly. only to realise that people around her started looking at her.
they got off at the station and leaving soon. "get going. your train is coming soon.. you should have gotten off at an earlier station." star started to feel a little worried for him. "i'll go soon.. after the next train comes okay?" they sat down.. "i help to see the trains okay.. not getting both of your ways!" ben said. they started asking questions like.. "why do you like me.." "ermm.. just..." "and i wanted to confess after my national exam.. but.." when the train comes, "we wait for the next one? please?" "oh.. okay then..".. and another.."next one please?? i don't bear to leave.." "hmm. ya.." then ben got irritated. " ooie.. guys.. it's getting late.. still want to lovey dovey arhs.? it's going to be 9pm soon"ben said. "really?? then better get going.. the next one." star said.
"it's coming. get ready" ben came to us. "well, get ready." star said. he stood up.. a little reluctant. "okay, i'll get going and.." gruuuu..!! the loud sound of train covered his words. "what?? i can't hear you.!" she shouted. he hugged star tightly.. "I love you!!" he shouted.. hugging even more tightly. she was stunned by his actions and confess.. she paused.. for seconds.. then look at him going into the train. "byebye~!" he said.. smiling brightly again. she smiled noticing that everyone looking at them. after the train has gone, she look at her phone smiling away again. looking silly. thinking of the incident, she held her hands together tightly, missing him..
