Love Life At School (Chapter Ten)

“YAY! I WON! I WON!”

The whole school heard someone’s voice, including Arron, Hebe and Calvin who were in the classroom.

Arron: Who’s that?

Calvin: I don’t know.

Suddenly, someone ran inside the classroom.

Jiro: Arron, I won!

Arron: Jiro? You won? What happened to Chun?

Jiro: He’s down there, injured.

Arron: INJURED? I think we should go and help him.

Calvin: Ya…

Jiro: But, why should we? He was the one who started it.

Arron: Jiro, think about it. If something happens to him, you’re the one who is responsible. Worst of all, you beat him up at school. If the teachers find out, you will be expelled for sure.

Jiro: Oh no…

Arron, Jiro and Calvin ran to the basketball court.

-------------------------
Wu Chun was lying on the court. His mouth was bleeding. Ella was beside him, trying to help him.

Ella: Chun, get up.

Wu Chun: Ella? Why are you here?

Ella: I’m just here to help you.

Wu Chun: Thanks.

Arron, Jiro and Calvin ran towards Wu Chun.

Arron: How are you doing Wu Chun?

Wu Chun: Why do you even bother?

Calvin: Because we’re your classmates and we care about you.

Arron looked at Jiro. He whispered to him, “Say sorry.”

Jiro nodded, “NO!”

Arron gave Jiro a pouty look. “Do it for your best friend?”

“Fine…”

Jiro: I’m sorry, Chun. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It is just that you got on my nerves until I felt like getting rid of you from my life, once and for all. I’m sorry, again. I hope we can be friends. I don’t want to fight anymore.

Wu Chun starred at Jiro for a while.

“Alright.” Wu Chun slowly got up.

Jiro: Friends?

Wu Chun: Ya, friends. Sorry for the trouble I caused.

Jiro: Never mind. I’m okay with it.

Wu Chun and Jiro shook hands.

Arron thought, relieved. “Problem solved…”

-------------------------
(THE NEXT DAY)

Angela was at her bedroom.

“I like Calvin so much but he doesn’t even bother about me. Hmm…what can I do to win his heart?” She muttered to herself.

Angela walked towards her dressing table and looked at herself in a mirror.

Angela’s P.O.V
How can I impress him with this looks? I need a makeover. But the problem is, who should I ask help for?......
Ah! I can ask Hebe. She knows about looks. Besides, she is way prettier than me.
End of P.O.V

Angela quickly went to the bathroom to have a shower as she was late for school.

-------------------------
Arron and Jiro walked to their lockers.

Jiro: Arron, you got any plans during the weekend?

Arron: Yes…Hebe asked me to teach her some dance moves. I am going over a place. How about you?

Jiro: Well, I plan to ask Selina out but I don’t think so that she will even bother to go out with a guy like me. But still, I have to try.

Arron: Good luck with that, buddy.

Jiro: Oh ya, did you tell Hebe about your ‘special’ feelings for her?

Arron: Hey, how did you know about that? DID YOU READ MY DIARY?

Jiro: Well…(cleared his throat) Sort of…(Arron gave Jiro an evil stare) Yes! I admit it! Yes!

Arron: WHAT? HOW COULD YOU READ ANOTHER PERSON’S DIARY?

Jiro: I’m sorry. Actually, it was your fault. You put your diary on my desk. I thought it was a storybook. So, I read it. But after reading it, I found out that it was your diary.

Arron was about to knuckle Jiro on the head when…WHOOSH!

Angela ran as quickly as lightning to the classroom. She knew Hebe will be there.
Arron paused. His hand was still in the air.

Arron: What was that?

Jiro: I don’t know. Maybe it’s a ghost or something.

Arron: Cannot be la. How can there be a ghost in our school?

Jiro: You never know…

Arron: Well, who cares? Now, what I wanted to do just now?

Jiro: Knuckle me la…

Arron: Oh, you actually want? Ok…

Arron again almost knuckled Jiro was Selina stopped him.

Selina: Hi, Arron, Jiro. What were you trying to do, Arron?

Arron: It’s nothing (put his hand down). I guess I will be going now. You guys chat for a while.

Jiro: Why are you leaving?

Arron whispered, “Why do you think I’m leaving? Quit bothering about me and ASK HER OUT!” Arron ran off to the classroom.

“Oh…” Jiro became nervous.

Jiro: Erm…Selina…

Selina: Yes…what is it, Jiro?

Jiro: (said in a rush) I like you…Would you like to go out with me? Because I think we should. We can watch movies, eat ice-cream and many more. If you’re not interested, I’m ok with it. So, will you? WILL YOU?

Selina starred at Jiro……

-------------------------
Meanwhile, Hebe was studying in the classroom. Angela ran towards her.

Angela: Hebe…can you do me a favour?

Hebe: Ya…sure. What is it?

Angela pulled Hebe to the back of the class.

Angela: I need a makeover.

Hebe: But…why?

Angela: You see, I like Calvin but he doesn’t even care about me. I had a feeling that it was because of my looks. I really want to win his heart. So, I need your help to create a brand new me. Can you, please?

Hebe: You like Calvin? (surprised). You’re so brave, girl. You don’t even intend to give him up even though he doesn’t care about you. Ok, I will help you. I will come over to your place tomorrow morning.

Angela: Oh, thank you so much.

Angela hugged Hebe in pleasure. Without them knowing, Arron was secretly listening to their conversation.

Arron: Angela? You like Calvin?

Angela got a shock of her life. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”

Arron: Don’t worry. I won’t tell him anything. Besides, I wanna help.

Angela: Thank you so much, Arron.

Hebe: Help? But what are you going to do?

Arron: Hmm…I don’t know…I can do anything…

Hebe then thought of a plan.

Hebe: Arron, tomorrow morning, get Calvin to meet Angela at the school garden.

Arron: Ok!


“Jiro, I don’t understand a thing you just said…” Selina said, confused.

Jiro sighed. He then asked Selina all over again, but this time he was unusually tranquil. Jiro hold Selina’s arms. “Selina, I like you…Can you go out with me during this weekend?”

Selina was surprised, at the same time happy.

Selina’s P.O.V
Oh my god! A guy just asked me out for the first time! Should I say ‘yes’? Should I say ‘yes’?
End of P.O.V

“Erm…OK…”

“Thank you so much!” Jiro kissed Selina on the cheeks. He then ran around the whole school for a few times. “YAY! I’VE GOT A DATE WITH A GIRL I LOVE!”

Selina blushed.

"OH MY GOD! JIRO JUST KISSED ME! THIS IS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE! I THINK…I’M IN LOVE!

But wait, what about Arron? I like him very much too. Hmmm…what should I do?"

-------------------------
During recess, Jiro and Arron were studying in the classroom. The rest had gone for recess. Arron can’t get his head on the book as he was speculating about Hebe.

Jiro: Arron, are you okay? You look stressed.

Arron: I’m fine…

Jiro: Doesn’t seem like that. You’re wondering about Hebe, right?

Arron: Sort of…

Jiro: You better hurry up and tell her the truth. Our exams are coming soon. If you keep straining on other matters, you won’t be able to do well. You better hurry up and solve the problem.

Arron: I guess you’re right…Anyway, what happened to you and Selina? Did she agree?

Jiro: Well…SHE DID!

Arron: Oh my god, you’re one lucky boy. (relieved because he notion that Selina won’t disturb him anymore)

Jiro: Ya…I was so happy until I kissed her and ran around the whole school for about…7 times!

Arron: YOU KISSED HER? AT SCHOOL?

Jiro: Ya, on the cheeks. Luckily, no one saw.

Arron was relieved, again. He just couldn’t visualize Jiro kissing a girl ‘directly’ and the whole school seeing them.

Arron: Oh, on the cheeks…No one saw…

Jiro: Ya, why? What were you thinking then?

Arron: Nothing…I’m going to the toilet now. Bye.

Jiro: Ok…(suspicious)

-------------------------
Meanwhile, Ella was eating lunch at the cafeteria. Wu Chun came and sat beside her.

Wu Chun: Hi, Ella.

Ella: Hi…How are you doing?

Wu Chun: Fine. Thank you for bringing me to the sick bay.

Ella: You’re welcome.

Wu Chun: Erm...Can I ask you something?

Ella: What is it?

Wu Chun: I want to ask…

Wu Chun stopped his words. Suddenly, the worst moment in his life emerged in his mind.

FLASHBACK

Ella: How dare you ask me out?

Ella dragged Wu Chun to the boys’ toilet. She then dumped his head in the toilet bowl. Wu Chun endured to breathe because he cannot bear the smell. Worst of all, his face was all covered with the toilet bowl’s ‘water’.

Wu Chun: STOP! STOP! STOOOOP!!!...

Wu Chun sobbed everyday, after that incident.

END OF FLASHBACK

Wu Chun: It’s nothing. See you later. Bye.

“What’s up with him?” Ella thought. “Maybe he was sleep talking or something. He must be tired after that fight. So, he must have been sleeping and sleep walked here. Ya, that’s it.”

-------------------------
(AFTER SCHOOL)

Arron was waiting for Hebe, near the main gate. ‘Where is she?’ He thought while checking his watch.

Selina was waiting for her chauffeur at the bus stop. Suddenly, she saw Arron. She strutted towards him.

Selina: Hi, Arron. (said in a very sweet and sharp voice)

Arron startled after hearing her voice. He thought it was a witch or something.

Arron: Hi. (ignored her and looking for any sign of Hebe)

Selina: Who are you waiting for?

Arron: No one…

Arron saw Hebe walking out from the main door. ‘Excuse me!’ Arron ran towards Hebe.

Selina’s P.O.V
What’s wrong with him? Why doesn’t he like me? Everytime Hebe…
What does Hebe has more than me? I’m way smarter, sweeter and prettier then her.
So, why is he disregarding me?
End of P.O.V

Suddenly, Jiro appeared.

Jiro: Hi, Selina. Are you excited for our weekend date?

Selina: Erm…Ya. You know what? I’ve to go now. My transport is here. See you, Bye.

Jiro: Bye…(waved goodbye)

Jiro’s P.O.V
Hmmm…she is too hard to be resisted. I wonder what are we gonna do during our date. (started dreaming about Selina and him watching a horror movie and Selina hugged him in fear, go shopping and Jiro buying Selina a ring, and both of them kissing each other…)
What am I thinking? Like that’s going to happen. Anyway, where’s Arron?
End of P.O.V

Arron: Hi, Hebe…erm…what time you will be at school with Angela?

Hebe: Around 10.30 a.m.

Arron: Hebe,…

Hebe: Oh no, can’t talk right now. My chauffeur is here. See you tomorrow. Bye.

Arron: (sighed) Bye…

Jiro found Arron near the main door.

Jiro: Arron, what are you doing here?

Arron: Nothing. Let’s go now.

Jiro: Ok…
