Love Life At School (Chapter Eleven)

(THE NEXT DAY)

‘KRINGGGG!’

The alarm clock rang. Angela quickly got out of bed. She then took her towel and went in the bathroom to bathe. After 10 minutes, she came out and got ready.

‘DING DONG!’

Angela went and opened the door in excitement, hoping it is Hebe.

“Hi, Hebe.”

“Hi. Shall we start?”

Angela brought Hebe to her bedroom.

Hebe: Ok, we shall start with your make up. Please sit on the chair, in front of the mirror.

Angela: Alright.

Hebe took out her make up kit from her bag. “Here we go.”

She then started applying foundation on Angela’s face. After that, she put on compact powder, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick and others. After a few alterations, she was done.

“Ta-daa…”

Angela starred at her face in distrust. “Oh my god! Is this really me?” she thought.

Hebe: Ok, now for your outfit. Where is your closet?

Angela: It’s right over there.

Hebe opened the closet and started searching for a suitable cloth for Angela. She tossed the clothes one by one, all over the room. “Hmm…Hebe…”

Hebe combed out the whole closet but still cannot find one. At last, she gave up.

Hebe: Angela, do you have any other nicer outfits than this?

Angela: Sorry, I don’t think so…WAIT! There is one dress…

Hebe: Just bring it.

Angela went out of her room. After a few minutes, she came back in. “Here it is.”

It was a knee-long, white dress. It had a beautiful design of flowers.

Hebe’s P.O.V
Oh my god…It is so beautiful… I wonder how Arron will react when I wear it…(began daydreaming about her, wearing that dress and Arron flattering and admiring it).
End of P.O.V

Angela: Erm…Hebe? Are you still here?

Hebe: Ah…Ya. It’s so nice…Wear it on.

Angela went to the bathroom and changed her clothes. After a while, she came out.

Hebe: Ok…Just a little adjustment…Done. You look perfect.

Angela looked at herself in the mirror, once again. She was thrilled with Hebe’s effort.

Angela: Wow…Thank you so much, Hebe. I really appreciate it.

Hebe: Hey, what are friends for?

Angela checked her alarm clock. “Oh no, we’re late for school! Come, let’s go…”

-------------------------

Arron and Jiro were already at school.
Arron: Jiro, you go to class first, I’ve got something to take care of. See you later.

Jiro: Ok, bye.

Jiro walked to the classroom.

Arron looked at his watch. “Ok, still got 45 minutes before class starts. Where’s Calvin?” he thought.

Suddenly, KRING KRING! KRING KRING! Arron’s phone rang.

Arron: Hello?

Hebe: Hello, Arron. This is Hebe. I and Angela are at the school garden now. Where are you and Calvin?

Arron: Calvin is not here yet, I’m still waiting for him.

Calvin came and walked towards his locker.

Arron: Calvin’s already here. We will be there in 5 minutes. Bye.

Hebe: Ok, hurry up. Bye.

"CALVIN! CALVIN!" Arron called out.

Calvin: Oh, hi, Arron. What is it?

Arron: I’ve got a…erm…surprise for you! Tie this blind folder over your eyes.

Calvin: What surprise? (puzzled)

Arron: You will find out soon.

Calvin blindfolded himself. Arron then brought him to the school garden.

Arron gestured at Hebe from far. Hebe signaled back.

Hebe: Are you ready? Just be brave and tell him your feelings about him.

Angela: (sighed) Ok…

Arron brought Calvin to the spot where Hebe and Angela were.

Arron whispered to Hebe, “We should go now.”

“Ya…”

Arron and Hebe hid behind the bushes, peeking at both of them.

Angela: You can take off your blind folder now, Calvin.

Calvin: Ok…(wondering whose voice was that)

Calvin took off his blind folder.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew his hair. His heart was beating so fast.

Calvin’s P.O.V
Wow...Angela is so pretty. I think I found my true affection…(He was thinking about Angela so deeply until he forgot about Hebe).
End of P.O.V

Calvin: Angela…What are you doing here? (Actually, he wanted to say that she looks pretty but he ended up saying another phrase)

Angela: Calvin…there’s something important that I need to tell you.

Calvin: Erm…go on…(hoping the next phrase will be ‘I LOVE YOU’)

Angela: I like you since the first day of school. But you don’t even bother about me. I know that you think that I’m a nerd or something else. But, I still won’t give up from endearing your heart.

Calvin: You LIKE me? (disappointed)

Angela: Well…Yes…

Calvin: Erm…Actually, I like you too. But…

Suddenly, Angela kissed Calvin on the cheeks. Calvin started to blush.

Arron: Woah…

Hebe: Well, at least he likes her too.

Arron: Ya…

That scene rang a bell to Arron about Hebe and him. ‘When am I going to tell her?’ he thought.

Hebe, on the other hand, had the same thought, ‘When am I going to tell him?’

Arron and Hebe came out from the bushes.

“Well, another problem solved.” Arron said, gladly.

The moment Calvin saw Hebe, he dashed away from that place.

Hebe: What’s wrong with him? He was fine just now.

Arron: I don’t know. Maybe he is shy or something.

Hebe: How can Calvin be shy? No way…

Angela: Maybe he doesn’t wish to talk to me. Especially when I kissed him unexpectedly.

Arron: No. How can he resist you? Maybe he had something urgent to do.

Hebe: Ya…maybe…

Arron, Hebe and Angela walked through the main door of their school.

Calvin was squatting on the floor, laying his back on his locker.

Calvin’s P.O.V
Oh no! What have I done? How can forget about Hebe? Now, I’m in love with Angela AND Hebe. How can a guy fall in love with two girls?
Who should I choose? Angela? Hebe?
My head hurts!
End of P.O.V

Arron, Hebe and Angela found Calvin sitting down.

Arron: Calvin, what’s wrong?

Calvin: (tried to calm down) Nothing…It’s getting late now. Let’s go to class.

Arron: Oh, ok…

-------------------------
Wu Chun was talking to Jerry when Jiro appeared at their desk.

Jiro: Hi Chun. Jerry.

Wu Chun: Hey…

Jiro: You got anything to eat? I’m very hungry.

Wu Chun: Got…But, why are you asking me?

Jiro: The whole school told me that you’re a giant eating machine. So, I asked you, thinking that you might have hundred packs of food in your bag. (giggled)

Wu Chun: WHAT? The WHOLE SCHOOL told you?

Jiro: Erm…Actually, not the whole school. Ella is the one who told me that all the students call you that.

Wu Chun: Oh…Ella…

Wu Chun’s P.O.V
Is she trying to insult me or eulogize me by telling Jiro that I’m a giant eating machine? Well, who knows? If she was praising me, she surely likes me. Then, I can ask her out without any fear. Ya, that’s it!
But what if she was insulting me…Well, I must find out!
End of P.O.V

Wu Chun: What else did she tell you about me? (asked eagerly)

Jiro: Erm…that’s all. Why are asking me so keenly?

Wu Chun: Oh…it’s nothing.

‘HOW AM I GONNA FIND OUT WHETHER SHE LIKES ME OR NOT?’

Suddenly, he got an idea. “Excuse me, Jerry.”

Wu Chun dragged Jiro outside the classroom.

Wu Chun: Jiro, can you do me a favour?

Jiro: Sure, what is it?

Wu Chun: Listen, I like Ella. Can you help me to ask her whether she likes me or not?

Jiro: You like Ella? Unbelievable…But Ella is a tomboy. She hardly likes boys, especially a guy like you.

Wu Chun: What do you mean by that? (starred wickedly at Jiro)

Jiro: Erm…nothing. I will ask her if only you provide me food whenever I want. Agreed?

Wu Chun: Fine…Anyway, please keep this as a secret. Do not tell anyone or else you will pay.

Jiro: Ok…

-------------------------
(LUNCH TIME)

Ella was eating lunch with her sidekicks when Jiro sat beside her. Wu Chun was watching Jiro from another table.

Jiro: Hi, Ella. What’cha doing?

Ella: What do you think I’m doing? (showed Jiro her food and thought that he was dumb or something)

Jiro: Oh, eating. Erm…can I ask you something?

Ella: Ya, what?

Jiro: Hmm…erm…err…

Ella: Wei, hurry up la.

Jiro: What do you think about Chun?

Ella: Why are you asking me all of a sudden?

Jiro: I…I am just asking.

Ella glanced at Jiro suspiciously and evilly at the same time. Jiro smiled nervously, trying to hide the truth.

Jiro: Seriously, I just wanna ask.

Ella: O…k…I don’t know…I think he is…

Ella stopped her words.

Ella’s P.O.V
Wait…What if Wu Chun asked him to ask me? It seems like that. Besides, both of them are friends now. They would do anything for each other. No, I must not reveal my true feelings…
End of P.O.V

Ella: Erm...I...don’t really like him.

Jiro: Oh, ok then. Bye…(ran off to Wu Chun’ table)

Ella saw Jiro running to Wu Chun’s table. “Just as I thought…”
