An Attempt at writing a Love Story

For some reason, my friends started writing love stories. It started with Amanda, then Darren and Lau, Nelson followed and all of us started.
So, this is my Love Story.

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


"Her"


"Oopss..Sorry!"
"Oh, it's ok. Here, let me pick that up for you."
"Thanks."

She walked away.
I felt something weird swirling in my heart. Something I could not describe.Fear?No.Awkwardness?No.Cheese Crackers?Definitely not.

Who was that girl?That girl with the beautiful ebony hair and fair complexion.
Who was she?
Who was Mahatma Gandhi?
Did I leave my computer on?

Questions about that girl and random stuff filled my mind. Mostly were about that girl. Weird.
I continued on my way to Science lab. As I entered the lab, I saw someone at the corner of my left eye. I turned and it was Wilson sticking his tongue out in a seductive way. Disgusting.Lau was sitting opposite him. He was besotted as usual. I continued on to my seat. As I was sitting, I could not stop thinking about that girl. That girl I bumped into. Just then, I saw someone at the door. It was someone fair. Could it be her? My heart filled with joy! It was....wait. It was Wilson again. He just came back from his constant toilet excursions. Ish.

As class finished, I was the first out the lab. Maybe I will see her this time. To my amazement, I was right! I did see her. There she was, at the stairs. I had to talk to her. I needed to. I quickly ran up to her, tapped her on the shoulders.

"Hey..umm"
"Yeah?"

Before I could say anything, her girlfriends appeared out of nowhere and took her away. Where did they go? I don't know. Maybe to class. Maybe to the toilet. The world is full of mysteries. Nelson is one of them. I sat through the next class pondering about her. As cliche as it sounds, I couldn't get her off my mind.

RRRIIIINNNGGGG!!!!!

Recess. As students rushed down the stairs to the canteen to get food, I walked slowly. While waiting for my turn to buy myself what's left of the food sold, I saw her again. This time is my chance. I had to ask her her name.I walked up to her.

"Hey..remember me?"
"Yeah, you're that guy right?"
"Ya. That guy....which guy?"
"That guy."
"Guy?"
"Yes."
"Girl?"
"No...guy."
"Guy as in Lee Hom?"
"He's a guy? Guy like Brad Pitt"
"He's weird"
"Shut up."
"Cheese crackers?"
"No..salty ones."
"Ok."

Next thing I knew, the bell rang. Students rushed back to class. I lost her in the crowd. Darn it.

"Judy"
"What?"
"Judy"
"Who said that?"
"Her name's Judy, damn it!"

It was my friend, Fred. Thanks Fred. Judy.Nice. Class went on as normal. Soon, school ended. As I was waiting for my car at the school gate as usual, I looked out for her. Where is she? Then, I saw her. She was walking alone towards the gate. My heart was filled with joy beyond description. My heart was beating faster. I could feel my pulse at the end of my fingers. As she walked closer, I summoned the courage to talk to her again. I walked towards her. Seconds went by, all I could see was her. It was as if time stopped in its tracks. I reached out my hand to tap her. This was it! Finally!My chance! Few more millimeters before contact...closer...closer...closer.....................CONTACT. She turned around. Our eyes met. My mouth opened to release the words I have always wanted to say...


"Hey, Judy."
"Hey... you again"
"I wanted to ask you this the whole time"
"Yeah?"

Finally.......

"Did you take my science textbook?"
"I did? Let me check......oopss. Sorry. Must have mixed it up when we bumped into each other. Sorry."
"It's ok. Thanks"

Soon after that, everything went back to normal. Apala.That girl. Go take my science textbook for what??? Buat aku kena hukum cikgu je. Padahal bukan salah aku. Ish.




THE END


Well, that's the end of my story. My friends who are girls were somehow disappointed with it. They didn't like it.
I wonder why?Hmm?

Till then,

Done.
