Love Life At School (Chapter Three)

A group of about ten guys appeared and went over to Wu Chun.

Guy 1: Who’re you?

Guy 2: Yeah who? (the whole gang started chorusing what they said)

Whole gang: Yeah. Yeah. Who you? Huh? Who you?

Wu Chun: They ah.... challenge us to a game le.

Jiro and Arron: Huh? We did not.

Wu Chun: Aww..cowards.

Jiro: We’re not.

Wu Chun: Then accept the challenge. (looking at him with an evil look)

Jiro: Uh..

Jiro and Arron were hesitating because not only had Wu Chun a whole big gang with him. He was also the best player of every game in their school. His gang started repeating Wu Chun’s word.

“Coward. Coward. Coward.”

Jiro: Fine. We accept your challenge.

Arron: (stared at Jiro as if he was mad)

Wu Chun: Good. Since there’s only two of you, I propose you play with me and Jerry. (took the ball out of Arron’s hand) Now we start.

-------------------------
Selina was shopping with her friends in the most expensive shop in the shopping complex. But she wasn’t paying much attention to what she was buying so she simply took any clothes along the way.

(Selina’s POV)
Arron is so cute. His eyes so mesmerizing. His smile so captivating. His hair so adorable.......
What am I thinking? He’s just an ordinary kid. I don’t care about him. I care more about Wu Chun. Hhmm..
(End of POV)

Rainie: What in the world did you take? Everything?

Selina: What do you mean? (looking at what she was holding) Oh my god! I took all that?

Ariel: Yeah. Of course. What were you thinking?

Selina: Nothing. Help me put all these back.

-------------------------
Hebe was waiting for Ella to appear in the park they were to meet in. Apparently, Ella accidentally mistook Hebe’s book for hers and brought it home.

(Hebe’s POV)
What’s taking her so long? I’ve waited for at least ten minutes. Wait...I see someone. No.. I see two someones.
(End of POV)

Ella: Hebe!

Hebe: Ella. There you are. What took you so long?

Although Hebe was pretty and ladylike while Ella was sporty and manlike, they were still good friends. Many a time when they have problems, they told each other about them.

Ella: Him.

Hebe: (looking behind Ella) Calvin?

Calvin: Er.. yeah hi.

Ella: He saw me go off and followed me. Then he asked me where was I going and I told him and... you get the picture.

Hebe: (nodded, understanding)

Calvin has been practically sticking himself to Hebe whenever he could because he liked her. But he never told her. But it was obvious, the way he talk to her and everything.

Hebe: So, what brought you here?

Calvin: Erm.. do you want to go out for a movie?

Hebe: A movie? Mmm.. but Ella must accompany me.

Calvin: But.. but... fine. Lets go. (leading them to a bus stop nearby)

(Hebe’s POV)
Gosh. He is so annoying compared to Arron. Arron is so shy and nice. He is so.... Hang on. Why am I thinking of him?
(End of POV)

Hebe and Ella followed Calvin. Hebe was confused with what was going on in her mind.

-------------------------
“How do you do this question?”

“Like this.”

Angela was giving tuition to her younger brother and sister. Her parents agreed to pay her 50 bucks per hour if she gives them tuition. So she did. While they did their work, Angela started to think and daydream.

(Angela’s POV)
(sigh) I wonder how is it like to be loved. I know how is it to love someone but not to be loved by someone. Calvin’s so cute. So charming. But I don’t think I mean anything to him. (sigh)
(End of POV)

“Jie, how to do this?”

“This also.”

“Slowly la. I’m not a robot le. Anyway why you asking me how to do every single question? Learn how to do yourself la,” Angela said.

“Aiya jie, you’re suppose to give us tuition le.”

“I know. I’m suppose to give tuition not become an answer machine,” Angela gave another sigh and started teaching her siblings.

-------------------------
(Jiro’s POV)
Oh my god. He plays like a psycho. I’ve never seen anyone played like that. It would be good to beat him though.
(End of POV)

(Arron’s POV)
Jiro is so crazy. Agreed without me agreeing. Huh. Wu Chun is so good. He certainly live up to his name. but certainly there’s no need to kill us while we’re playing. Its just basketball.
(End of POV)

(Wu Chun’s POV)
They’re quite good. First time anyone got me tired while playing.
(End of POV)

All four of them were playing hard for neither group wanted to lose. So far neither group had shot a goal although they had been playing for half an hour. Then one of Wu Chun’s mate blew his whistle. Half time. They get to rest for five minutes. It was a good thing too. Jiro and Arron were tired. They had used up almost all their energy for Wu Chun and Jerry were tough players.

After five minutes, they continued. Five minutes passed. Ten minutes. Fifteen minutes. Twenty minutes. Time was moving but still no one shot a goal. Then they heard, “Two more minutes.”Jiro and Arron redoubled their energy and worked together.

“One more minute.”

(Jiro’s POV)
Oh no. We’ve got to win. We can’t lose. We’d be shamed for life. Must try harder. Jia you Jiro! Jia You!!
(End of POV)

Then suddenly Arron ran like a hare, dribbling the ball and WHAM, smacked the ball into the goal.

“TIME!” A whistle was heard.

The game had ended.

“YEAH!! We won! We did it! We won! YAY!!” Jiro shouted.

Wu Chun and his gang were bewildered at their lost. Never had they lost even a match. Yet, those two actually beat them. On the other hand, the two were rejoicing and do not seem to remember that they were tired and were sweating profusely. All that mattered was they won. Wu Chun and the rest stared at them.
