Love Life At School (Chapter Twenty)

(In school)

“Hi everyone!”

Everyone gasped. Selina wanted to tell the whole class that she was with Jiro. And she did just that. All her boy admirers gave up. They couldn’t be with Selina now. Selina and Jiro sat down. Then another gasp went around the classroom. Hebe and Arron walked through the classroom door. They stopped as the class was so quiet. Then they continued to walk to their places.

Their classmates (except those who know already) stared at them. Hebe’s admirers felt sad as those who liked Selina and Arron’s admirers kept looking at Hebe with a kind of look that says ‘How dare you go near my guy. He’s mine, girl. MINE!’. But they didn’t bother the looks. Then they sat down. Selina and Hebe sat in the middle of the classroom and Jiro and Arron sat at the back of the classroom. So Selina and Hebe had their girly talk while Jiro and Arron had their boy talk.

(Girly talk, not exactly girly XD)

Selina: Tell me how you and Arron got together.

Hebe: No.

Selina: Tell me...

Hebe: No...

Selina: Tell or I’ll spill about your secret.

Hebe: What secret do I have?

Selina: About...

Hebe: What?

Selina: Ok I don’t know any. Still, aren’t I your friend? Tell.

Hebe: (smile) No. Unless Arron agrees.

Selina: Then I’ll force him. (stood up)

Hebe: Not now. Later. Look, teacher is here already. (pull Selina down)

Selina: Fine.

(Boy talk, not exactly boyish)

Jiro: Come on. Tell me.

Arron: N-O, NO!

Jiro: Why not?

Arron: Unless Hebe allows it.

Jiro: I’ll ask her right this minute.

Arron: Don’t blame me if teacher kill you. He’s coming.

Jiro: I’ll ask her later then.

They had their lesson, history, which everyone felt was boring except Arron and Hebe, who liked every subject (they’re psycho, they like every subject).

(Weekend)

“Ella, be quick!”

Wu Chun was taking Ella on a date. Their number 10th date (Wu Chun counted). Now he was waiting for her in her house. His chauffer was waiting outside. Ella was in the toilet. She just entered for a few seconds and he was already making her come out.

“Eh, I just went in only and now you want me to come out. You crazy ah.”

“Just be quick. There’s a limit to my patience.”

“Wah. You are soooo impatient.”

“Just be quick.”

“Coming la.”

Then she came out. Wu Chun immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the door and into the car. He drove to a big house. All along the way Ella kept asking where was he bringing her. And he kept saying the same answer. Secret.
So when they reached the big house, she was feeling suspicious. What was he doing? Bringing her to a house. Wu Chun pulled Ella inside. “Follow me,” he said. Then he went around in the house and seemed to be finding something. Ella just followed him around, still feeling suspicious. Then when they arrived in front of a door, Wu Chun stopped. Ella too.

He opened the door, poked his head inside, breath a sigh of relief, then closed the door and turned to Ella. “May I present to you,” he said. “Your surprise.”
He opened the door and Ella’s eyes widen in-as Wu Chun said-surprise. Then she gave Wu Chun a hug. What she saw was simply unbelievable (to her). The room was brightly lit with candles (actually its not exactly bright. Just picture this. A dark room, full of candles that have been lit). In the middle of the room she saw a table with two chairs. Wu Chun led her to the table and pulled the chair for her to sit.
Then he sat opposite her and clapped his hands. A waiter entered with two plates. He served them and went out then came in again. This time with a bottle of wine. He poured some into their glasses and went out again. Then he didn’t enter anymore. “I made the steak,” Wu Chun said. “Really? Hard to believe,” Ella said. “I’ll cook in front of you one day,” he replied. Ella nodded.

They ate the steak and drank wine. When they finished, Wu Chun clapped his hands again and music came out (slow music).

Wu Chun: May I have this dance?

Ella: Sure.

They danced to the music. After a few moments, Wu Chun pressed his lips on Ella’s. it was a long time before they broke off. When they did, Ella rested her face against his chest, her face burning.

Calvin was walking to a nearby bookshop to check out the books. He didn’t use his car because he wanted to think about Hebe, Arron and Angela.

(Calvin’s POV)
How can Hebe be with Arron? Its not fair. I’ve been trying to date her since last year and Arron just came for about a month but she’s with him already. But since she likes him what can I do. Anyway Angela likes me. Maybe I could go with her. But.. I like Hebe more. Life’s just so unfair. I guess I have to let go of Hebe and accept Angela.
(End of POV)

Suddenly he saw two figures somewhere near. He looked closely and realized they were Arron and Hebe. They were having snacks at a stall and were laughing together. Calvin felt a kind of feeling within him. It was a kind of mixture of anger, jealousy and revenge. He clenched his fist, controlled himself and went back home. He didn’t care about the bookshop anymore or Angela. He didn’t care about Arron. All he cared now was Hebe. And he would do anything to have her.
