The Life of Orphans - Chapter 42

Rainie: What should I wear?

Rainie have been standing in front of her closet for almost an hour trying to figure out what to wear during the party.

Cyndi: Anything. You look nice in everything.

Rainie: Nonsense. I don't have a figure like you.

Cyndi: But you are taller than me. That's makes you look nice.

Rainie: Give some comments. Which one is better? (Holding up two kinds of dress)

Cyndi: Err.... the blue one?

Rainie: Really?

Cyndi: Err... I’m not sure.

Rainie: Come on.

Cyndi: I'm really not good at this. Why don't you ask Hebe?

Rainie: Maybe I should. I'm really excited for this party. It's not only a farewell party for the graduates but it's also a New Year countdown party.

Cyndi: But in the bright side, everyone can go to the party and not just those who were the graduates' friends. You don't have to worry.

Rainie: Yeah. It certainly was a great idea to combine both ceremonies. Then everybody get to enjoy together.

Cyndi: It's everybody or just you and Zax?

Rainie: Everybody!

Cyndi: Maybe this party is a great time for you couples to spend time together.

Rainie: What do you mean you couples? Aren't you one of them?

Cyndi: Huh?

Rainie: You and Sam. You thought we don't know?

Cyndi: What are you talking about?

Rainie: Zax told me. You two liked each other long ago but both of you just don't want to admit it. Then, lots of jokes happened between the two of you.

Cyndi: You better not listen to Zax, he talks nonsense.

Rainie: What's with you and him anyway?

Cyndi: Nothing important.

Rainie: Nothing important? Then, what's important? Marriage?

Cyndi: You are influence by them now.

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

On the day of the party,

Sam: There are sure a lot of people here.

Cyndi: Of course there are. Everyone in school is here.

Zax: Not everyone. Some of them are still at home waiting to celebrate the New Year with their families.

Cyndi: But it's everyone IN school right?

Zax: (paused for a while) Yeah, everyone in school but not the whole school.

Cyndi: That's why I said everyone in school, Dumbo! You just wanted to argue with me, right?

Zax: Correction! I'm correcting you.

Cyndi: But it seems that I’m correct and there's nothing you should be correcting.

Sam: Ok now. End of story, ok?

Cyndi: He started it.

Sam: It seems like Jason is getting pretty close with Hebe there.

Cyndi: Yup. By the way, where is Tony? I thought we should be meeting him here.

Zax: I didn't see him anywhere. Maybe he's not ready yet. You know him, always wanted to be perfect.

Cyndi: Perfect for whom?

Zax: For his girl, of course.

Cyndi: I might not know Tony's girl but I know someone's girl is already here.

Zax: Who? (Turns around and saw Rainie) Oh! See you guys later. (Ran off)

Cyndi: Some friend he is. Saw his girl and just ran off.

Sam: Let him have the time to be with his girl just like I’m spending time with my girl now.

Cyndi: who's your girl?

Sam: You don't know? Maybe you need a hint. (Lean close to her)

Cyndi: Wait! There are a lot of people here.

Sam: Who cares?

Cyndi: I thought you didn't want anyone to know this.

Sam: They knew it anyway.

Cyndi: I still think we better go out from the hall.

Sam: Ok.

Outside the hall,

Tony: You look great! There's nothing wrong.

Angela: But I still think something's not right with my outfit.

Tony: (Hold both of her hands) I don't care if there anything wrong with you outfits or not, you're the best to me.

Angela: Really?

Tony: Of course. (Lean over and kiss her on the cheek) There. Does that give you some confidence now?

Cyndi and Sam were watching the whole thing at a corner.

Cyndi: Should I go out and have some fun?

Sam: Better don't. You saw how shy the girl was. You might frighten her later.

Cyndi: Am I frightening?

Sam: That's not what I meant. I was just... just....

Cyndi: Don't worry. I was just kidding. You should have seen your face.

Sam: You fooled me! Well, well, well, this is your punishment. (Kissed her on the forehead)

Cyndi: Tricky! (Hit his head)

Sam: Let’s go call them in. I think Zax must be very excited about Tony's girl.

Cyndi: Good thing I saw it before him.

Sam: The both of you never grow. (Sigh)

Cyndi: I heard that.

Sam quickly pat Tony on the shoulder before Cyndi could say anything else.

Tony turned around and was really shocked to see Sam at the back of him.

Tony: what are you doing here?

Sam: To see when our Mr. Sun is going to arrive.

Tony: I'm here already.

Sam: So aren't you going to introduce?

Tony: oh! This is Angela. Angela, this is Sam and Cyndi.

Angela: Hi.

Cyndi: Let's go in. Come on! (Pulls Angela's hand)

In the hall,

Cyndi: Hey Zax, Look who's here?

Zax: Angela? Hi!

Angela: Hi Zax.

Rainie: Hi.

Angela: You are Rainie? The volleyball team captain?

Rainie: Yup. We are in the same school but it's really weird that we hardly meet each other.

Angela: Yeah.

Tony came in and straight away holds Angela's hand.

Zax: Wow! Wow! Wow! Wait a minute! What are you doing?

Tony: I didn't do anything.

Zax: What's this? (Pointing and Tony's hand which was attached to Angela's)

Cyndi: Something you always wanted to know.

Zax: Oh! So you are the one!

Angela: Which one?

Rainie: Tony's girlfriend!

Angela: Err... (Blushed)

Cyndi: Oh, come on. Now everyone has known each other, let's go eat!
