Love Sky - Chapter 24 {conclusion}

Love Sky

Chapter 24
Half a year later, the gang had their end years exams and were waiting for their results.

Charlene: Oooh... I’m so nervous. Wonder how is my results?

Gillian: Me too. My hands are shaking now.

Edison: Chill down, man.

Alex: Why did we come here so early? This waiting business is driving me crazy.

Edison: It was supposed to be out at nine. It's now 9.05 already.

Cindy: Who's the one nervous now? (nudging Edison)

Edison: What? Me? Nervous? Never in my life!

Alex: Really?

Edison: Can the both of you stop ganging up on me?

Charlene: You guys still have the mood to quarrel?

Gillian: Yeah! This is serious business.

Roy: Hey!

Charlene: Roy?

Roy: The results are not out yet? Here, i bought some breakfast for all of us.

Alex: Thanks Roy. The girls were pushing me the whole morning until i don't even have time for breakfast.

Roy: You guys are sure early. I came right after Charlene's call.

Cindy: Gillian was the one doing the pushing. I told her that we should come at 9.30.(munching her sandwich)

Gillian: The early bird gets the worm.

Cindy: I don't want worms.

Edison: (passing Gillian a bun) Lame joke.

Cindy: None of your business!

Charlene: It's here! (saw some people putting up some papers on the notice board)

Roy: Yeah.

Gillian: Let's go see.(tugging Edison who was busy drinking)

Edison: (almost spilled his drink) Wait! Don't pull!

Alex: (looking at the not moving Cindy) Aren’t you going?

Cindy: Don't worry. Charlene will check for all of us. By the way, it's so crowded now, i rather not squeeze.

Alex: Oh. (caught a glimpse on someone) Shawn's here.

Shawn: Hi! I'm not late, am i?

Cindy: What do you think?

Shawn: Where's the others?

Alex: Where's Yumiko?

Shawn: She'll join us for lunch. She told me to check her results for her.

Cindy: I see.

Shawn: You guys are not going to check?

Cindy: My results will come to me.

Shawn: Huh?

Cindy: It's coming already.

Charlene: Cindy, you'd got all A's and Alex, you got a B, the rest are A's.

Alex: I see. Thanks Charlene.

Cindy: See. Understand now?

Shawn: Yes. I'll go check mine now.

Gillian: Wow! it was such a crowd.

Edison: (panting) Yeah. I was just like a sardine just now, being squeezed here and there. And i didn't even get to see my results.

Cindy: Not to worry. Charlene, did you check Ed's results?

Charlene: Yup! 2B's, same as mine.

Edison: Oh thanks. If i had known that you will check it for me, i wouldn't have to go squeeze with the crowd.

Alex: Ok now. Everyone is back in the gang? Where's Roy?

Charlene: In the washroom.

Alex: Oh.

Shawn: Hey! i got 2B's.

Edison: Shawn? When were you here?

Shawn: Just now.

Gillian: Where's Yumiko?

Shawn: She had something on. She said she'll join us for lunch and it's her treat.

Cindy: that's great!

Lunchtime,

Shawn: Hey! Over here! (waving to the group)

Edison: Shawn and Yumiko are over there. (pointing towards them)

Alex: Hi!

Gillian: It's the first time you're not late, Shawn.

Shawn: No way.

Cindy: Yes way. Tell me when are you early when we call you out? Or just not late because you're never early.

Shawn: There are. Just give me some time to think.

Gillian: I'll give you tomorrow and i bet you still won't have an answer.

Yumiko: Ok now. What do you guys like to have for lunch?

Alex: (whispers to Cindy) You'll just have to stop picking on Shawn already. Yumiko is shielding him.

Cindy: (whispers back) Oh, i see.

Charlene: Yumiko, why weren't you with us when the results are out?

Yumiko: Oh, i have to accompany my grandmother to the hospital for her check up. You know old folks need to do their check ups frequently.

Charlene: Oh. That's so nice of you.

Roy: Oh ya. What are you guys' plans after this? College?

Gillian: Should be. What else then?

Edison: All of us, going college?

Roy: At least i am.

Charlene: Me too.

Cindy: I think so too.

Shawn: Count me in.

Yumiko: I should be too.

Alex: Wow! All of us are going to college. Let's go to the same one. Then we'll still have our gang.

Edison: I agree.

Shawn: Yeah! Next stop, college!

That day after school,

Shawn was talking with his brother.

Shawn: You don't reach home too late. Mum will be worried and asking here and there
about her precious son.

Steven (Cheung but in this story, Yue): Ok. Stop nagging. I'm just going for football
practice.

Shawn: Weird thing here. We are brothers and one of us like basketball while the other
one like football and both are not interested in each interest.

Yumiko: Shawn!

Shawn: hi, Yumiko.

Steven: New girlfriend?

Shawn: What do you mean? I never have a girlfriend. She's my first one.

Steven: Really?

Shawn: Yumiko, this is my brother, Steven. Steven, this is Yumiko.

Yumiko: hi.

Steven: Nice to meet you.

They both shook hands.

Shawn: So formal?

Yumiko: This is manners. (Push his head gently)

Steven: I can't talk now. Got to go. Practice is starting. See you.

Yumiko: Ok.

Shawn: Remember to go straight home after practice.

Steven: Yes. Long-winded!

Yumiko: That reminds me! The others are waiting for you at the front gate.

Shawn: Oh yeah! I'm late.

At the front gate,

Gillian: He's late again. As usual.

Shawn: (rushing through the crowd) Excuse me, coming through.

Edison: There he is. (Pointing at Shawn)

Gillian: Shawn Yue! Can't you be early for just once?

Shawn: Yikes! Sorry.

Yumiko: He was talking to his brother.

Alex: Oooo... Girlfriend defending him.

Charlene: Don't bully her.

Cindy: So, where do you guys want to go for lunch?

Shawn and Charlene: Anywhere.

They stared at each other. Charlene blushed hard.

Edison: Looks like you two are really well-coordinated.

Gillian: Don’t crap! Both of them have someone.

Edison: (glance at Roy and Yumiko) Oooppps, sorry.

Roy: It’s ok. Well there’s this new “All-in” buffet somewhere. It has almost every
country’s dishes.

Alex: Wow! Sounds interesting.

Gillian: What are we waiting for? Let’s go!

Next day,

Shawn: Hi, everyone.

Edison: Wow! What makes you so happy today?

Shawn: Some things you guys always had along and I don't. But now I have it.

Gillian: We have you don't have ... Huh?

Alex: What do we have and you don't have?

Charlene: Money?

Cindy: Don't be silly. I think I know.

Edison: What's that?

Cindy: Love?

Shawn: (Smiles)

Charlene: Cindy is always the smart one.

Alex: And she's mine.

Cindy: Who's yours? (Hit Alex playfully)

Gillian: Who's that?

Alex: Cindy, of course.

Gillian: I'm not talking to you.

Alex: Oopppss. (Embarrassed)

Shawn: Keep guessing.

Edison: Come on. You and your guessing games.

Cindy: I know who. (Whispered into Shawn's ear)

Shawn: (Smile again)

Gillian: Who's that, Cindy?

Cindy: Use a little logic. Then you will know the answer.

Shawn: the teacher is coming!

Everyone rushes back to their places.

Gillian: (kicks Cindy's chair) Who is that person?

Cindy: You'll know during recess.

Gillian: Hump!

Charlene took a short glance at Shawn and saw him smiling all along.

Charlene: [Why am I feeling so disappointed? I can't like him anymore, I got Roy.
And he's really nice to me.]

Charlene turned back to the front and concentrate to the teacher.

During class,

Gillian: Urgh! Why is class so long today? (Looks at her watch) Recess has five
minutes to go.

Charlene: What are you mumbling there?

Gillian: Four minutes. Can't this watch go any faster?

Charlene: It will go faster if you set it faster.

Gillian: It's not helping. Three minutes.

Charlene: Why are you so eager to find out who's Shawn's girlfriend?

Gillian: He was after me before, remember? I just want to know how she looks
like.

Charlene: So you want to compare? You don't have to. Edison thinks you are the
best of any girl.

Gillian: Just like how Roy thought about you?

Charlene: Uh? I guess so.

Gillian: I have been talking so long and there's still two minutes?!

Charlene: Two minutes is short.

Gillian: One minute.

Charlene: You are weird.

Gillian: Ten, nine,eight ...... Four, three, two, one.

The recess bell rang,

Gillian: Yes! Finally.

At the canteen,

Gillian: Who is she?

Shawn: You will soon find out.

Just then a guy came looking for Shawn.

Guy: Shawn, your brother said he won't be going back with you today.

Shawn: Ok.

Gillian: It wasn't a "him" right?

Shawn: Of course it was not! I am absolutely normal.

Edison: You can admit. We'll still be friends although you are a gay.

Shawn: Don't crap.

Cindy: Hey Shawn, your friend is here.

Gillian: Who?

Yumiko: Hi.

Edison, Gillian, Alex and Charlene: Yumiko?

Yumiko: Yes?

Shawn: Don't mind them.

Yumiko: Where's Charlene?

Gillian: Roy asks her out somewhere.

Edison: So you and Shawn ... (both of his thumbs out)

Yumiko: Yup. (Hold Shawn's hand)

Edison: Congrats.

Alex: Let's go for lunch together after school. To celebrate there are no singles in
our group.

Gillian: Great idea. I'll tell Charlene later.

Cindy: That's all you know.

Alex: It's a good idea.

Cindy: People just got together and you want to waste their precious duo time.

Yumiko: We don't mind!

Edison: I think the one who mind is our Miss Au.

Cindy: What?! I don't mind! I'm just helping.

The end-of-recess bell saved Cindy. Everyone went back to their respective classes.

After lunch,

Edison: Gillian, alex and Cindy are coming over to my house later. Do you want to join us?

Shawn: Umm.. I don't think so. I'll send Yumiko home first.

Gillian: Ok. See you.

Shawn: Bye.

Yumiko: I live somewhere very far from here you don't have to send me back.

Shawn: It's ok. I don't have anything to do anyway.

Yumiko: Why didn't you join your friends?

Shawn: As you can see, they are all in pairs. I'm the only odd one out, It's a little
ankward for me.

Yumiko: You don't have a girlfriend?

Shawn: Isn't it obvious?

Yumiko: Aren't you planning to have one?

Shawn: Of course i do but no one want to have me, i guess. (sigh)

Yumiko: No way, you must have loads of admirers. You're cute, smart and you
played greatly at basketball.

Shawn: Wow!(blushed a little) Thanks for those comments.

Yumiko: Oh, ok. (blushed) Umm... actually... what kind of girl do you like?

Shawn: Me? As long as she's a girl... (laughs) Not funny?

Yumiko: Umm.... quite.

Shawn: I'm not very good at jokes. Umm... What kind of girl i like? I'm not really
sure about that. The most important thing is that she have a kind heart and a
good personality, that's more than enough.

Yumiko: That's all?

Shawn: What else do you expect?

Yumiko: I thought cute guys like you should like those pretty girls, smart and
everything good.

Shawn: You mean sugar and spice and everything nice?

Yumiko: Something like that.

Shawn: Who won't like someone as perfect as that? But i don't really mind all
these. As long as she has a good heart.

Yumiko: There something i want to tell you for a long time.

Shawn: What's that?

Yumiko: Ummm.... i like you.

Shawn: (stunned due to her courage to express her feelings so straight forwardly)

Yumiko: [Why? You don't feel the same?]

A long time of silence,

Shawn: (broke the silence) Umm... Are you serious?

Yumiko: Uh? I... You don't.... umm... Nevermind. I'l get going now.(turn and walks
away)

Shawn: Wait! (pulls her hand)

The both of them were now an (or maybe two or three) inch(es) away from each
other, staring into the opponent's eyes. Not long later, they kissed.

Shawn: Would you take that as a i like you too?

Yumiko: (blushing) Anything you want.

Shawn: Then that's what i want. (holds her hand) And now, i'm going to send you
home.

Roy: You got your answer already?

Charlene: I think so.



Cindy: Charlene, why don't you give it a try. Give Roy a chance.

Gillian: Yup. He likes you more than you like him. It's better that way.

Cindy: I agree too.

Charlene: But...

Gillian: It's your decision, we'll just give you what we think you should do. You
decide what to do.


Roy: (waiting patiently)

Charlene: (back to reality) Uh? I think we should try it out.

Roy: Really?

Charlene: Umm yeah.

Roy: Thanks! So... see you after school?

Charlene: Ok.

After school,

Charlene: (running) Sorry i'm late.

Roy: It's ok.

Charlene: So? Where to?

Roy: Why don't you go back and change first? I'll meet you at your apartment.

Charlene: You know where's my apartment?

Roy: Uh?Ooopppss... I don't think so.

Charlene: (smiles) I'll write it down for you. (tear a page from her notebook and
scibbles her address down) Here.

Roy: Thanks. See you, ok?

Charlene: Ok.

An hour later,

The doorbell rang,

Charlene: (open the door) Hi.

Roy: Hi.

Charlene: Want to come in?

Roy: Ok. (went in) You don't live with your parents?

Charlene: Yup. How did you know?

Roy: By insticnt. Your apartment doesn't look like a family place, it looks more
teen in a way.

Charlene: Although i don't really understand but you have a point there. I live with my two friends.

Roy: It must be fun living away from your parents.

Charlene: Quite. But when it come to cooking and cleaning you'll wished that your parents were here.

Roy: Why?

Charlene: You guys never help out in house work before. It's really tiring.

Roy: I think i know that because i always have a hard time cleaning my room.

Charlene: So. Are we going out for lunch?

Roy: Yup. Where do you want to go?

Charlene: There's an Italian restaurant just open and they have a discount during
lunch breaks. Let's go there.

Roy: Fine with me.

At Edison's side, there was a friendly basketball match against some other school.
Shawn and Edison were playing and Alex, Cindy and Gillian were watching.

Gillian: Go Edison! Shoot! Great one!

Cindy: Hey, Edison scored again. (nudge Gillian)

Gillian: I know.

Alex: Shawn's with the ball now. Dodge him! Right!

Cindy: You sure are excited.

Alex: How can i not be? It's our school and buddies playing here.

Cindy: Someone else should be more excited but that person is not showing any response.

Gillian: (knowing that Cindy is talking to her but she ignored her. Anyway, how can she be not excited? Her heart was thumping like elephants running when Edison was shooting and she tried so hard not to yell her lungs out when Edison scored)

Later then, the game ended. Their school won the match.

Alex: Great job there.

Gillian: (pass a bottle of water to Edison) Congrats.

Edison: Thanks. That was really a tough game.

Cindy: (Gave Shawn a bottle of water) With him screaming beside me, i can't even hear the score.

Alex: Who? Me?

Cindy: Who else?

Alex: Sorry then. (place his arm around Cindy)

Edison: Without you guys supporting us there we might not win. (place his arm
around Gillian)

Gillian: Hey, your arms are sweaty! Don't touch me!

Edison: No they are not. I wipe them already. (pulled Gillian towards him)

Gillian: Eee!

Shawn: Stop your mushiness ok? I still want to eat here.

Alex: Oh yeah. Just as you've mentioned i'm a little hungry now.

Cindy: How can you be hungry? You didn't play.

Alex: I used my energy to cheer.

Shawn: Excuse me. I'm still here ok?

Cindy: Not any more.

Shawn: Huh? Oh, hi, Yumiko.

Yumiko: Hi. Can i talk to you for a minute?

Shawn: Sure. Excuse me.

Gillian: Go on, go on.

Edison: He's getting quite close with Yumiko these days.

Gillian: Maybe they will go together.

At Shawn's side,

Shawn: Yes?

Yumiko: I was thinking would you like to have lunch with me?

Shawn: Umm... I was just going to have lunch with my friends. If you don't mind,
you can join us.

Yumiko: Oh. That's ok then.

Shawn: You can join us if you like. You know them, right?

Yumiko: I don't think that's a good idea.

Shawn: Come on. They won't mind at all.

Yumiko: Ok.

Shawn: Good. Come on. (went over) Yumiko is joining us for lunch.

Edison: That's fine with us.

At the girls apartment, Gillian was doing her homework. Cindy was on the net and Charlene was in her room thinking about today's incident.

Charlene: Should i accept him? I really like Shawn but he doesn't like me. Should i continue liking him? But what's the point of liking someone that don't like you? Roy a great guy but i just treat him as a friend, it will not be fair to him to accept him while my heart is still with Shawn. Ahhh!!!!(screamed, not very loud) What am i suppose to do?

Gillian and Cindy heard Charlene screamed although it's not very loud. The both of them looked up and looked at each other at the same time. Then, they went to
Charlene's room.

Gillian: (knocked the door) Charlene? Are you ok?

Charlene: Yes, I'm fine.

Gillian: Can we come in?

Charlene: Sure. Come in.

The both of them walked in.

Cindy: What's the matter?

Charlene: Nothing.

Gillian: Then why are you screaming?

Charlene: I wasn't screaming.

Cindy: Then?

Charlene: I was just umm... I can't hide anything from the both of you, can't i?

Gillian: Yup, you can't.

Charlene: Ok. You know Roy right?

Cindy: The guys waiting for you twice today?

Charlene: Uh-huh. He just told me that he liked me.

Gillian: That's good news.

Cindy: Yup. Isn't that good?

Charlene: I don't know it's good or bad? The problem is that i still have feelings for Shawn.

Cindy: That's a tough problem.

Charlene: You two don't have to worry. I can settle this by myself.

Gillian: Don't you threat us as friends?

Charlene: Of course i do.

Cindy: Then let us help you figure out a way.

Charlene: ...

Next day at school,

Gillian: What's your plan?

Cindy: I don't really have a plan yet.

Gillian: Then? You'd promised Charlene.

Cindy: I know. I will think of a plan but no luck yet.

Gillian: Do you think Char should accept Roy?

Cindy: I'm not sure about that. She like Shawn. It may not be fair to Roy.

Gillian: Forget about Shawn first.

Shawn: Did i hear my name?

Gillian: Whoa!

Cindy: Why are you here?

Shawn: Am i not supposed to be here?

Cindy: Not really.

Shawn: Actually i have something to say to you, Gillian.

Cindy: Should i be away?

Shawn: It's ok.

Cindy: Good.

Shawn: Well, it's like this. I admit that i like you since i first met you and i really
want to be with you but you are with Edison already.(paused) That time i was really jealous and keep pestering around you. But now, i get to know you and Edison more. Edison is a great guy, i'm happy for you. I just want to ask ... Can
we...?

Gillian: Be friends?

Shawn: uh-huh.

Gillian: Why not. I thought we always were friends?

Shawn: Really? I thought you hate me.

Gillian: Why should i?

Shawn: Because i like you?

Gillian: Of course not. We'll be friends and friends forever.

Shawn: Thanks. I got to go now, the coach is calling.

Gillian: Ok.

Cindy: So, he really did gave up on you. Now you still think Charlene should accept Roy?

Gillian: I think she should since he like her.

Cindy: But Shawn... oh yeah, i heard that he's going pretty close with Yumiko.

Gillian: The tall girl?

Cindy: Yup. I guess cute guys are not safe to be with. So, you better be careful of
your Eddie.

Gillian: What? Your Alex is cute too.

Cindy: He's not mine ok?

Gillian: Whatever. So now you agree that Charlene should accept Roy?

Cindy: It's her decision, we can only give her some advise.

Gillian: But i still think Roy deserves a chance.

At school,

Gillian: That guy look weird. Why is he keep staring over here?

Charlene: Who? (turn) Oh, he's looking for me. (ran off)

Gillian: Who's that anyway?

Cindy: He's Roy Chow from the next class.

Gillian: When did Charlene know him?

Cindy: Beats me (shrugs)

On Charlene's side,

Charlene: Yes?

Roy: I have something for you. (Handed out a small box)

Charlene: What's that? Can i open it?

Roy: Ok.

Charlene: (Opens it) Wow! It's the wristband i always wanted! How did you know?

Roy: ...



Charlene: Wow! Look at that. (point at the wristband) I wanted that for a long time but it's a limited stock and all of them are booked already. (disappointed, walk off) Let's continue with the present.

Roy: Ok. (took a look at the wristband then went off)



Charlene: Hello? (waving her hands in front of his face)

Roy: Uh?

Charlene: Thanks. How much is it? I'll pay you back.

Roy: You don't have to.

Charlene: It must have cost you a lot.

Roy: It's a gift from me to you.

Charlene: I really don't have to pay you back?

Roy: Uh-huh. (nods)

Charlene: Thanks. (The sound of school bells) We'd better get going.

Roy: Ok.

In Roy's class,

Roy: [ How should i say to Charlene that i like her? I like her since we were in
form three but i don't dare to tell her because she don't even know who i am. Should i say it straight forwardly or i should round circles before telling her???]

Teacher: Roy Chow! Are you paying attention?! (everyone in class turn to him)

Roy: Uh? Yes! Sorry.

After school, Roy was waiting for Charlene outside her class room.

Gillian: Hey, that guy is looking for you again, Char!

Charlene: How did you know he was waiting for me?

Gillian: He's waving at you.

Charlene: Oh, =P. You two can go along without me.

Cindy: We will. Have a good time.

Charlene: What are you talking about? We are just friends.

Gillian: Not for long.

Charlene ran off.

Edison: So, are you going anywhere, Gill?

Gillian: Nope. Why?

Shawn: Edison, you're not going to go dating, right? Have you forgotten that we
have training today?

Edison: Oh yes. I nearly forgot. Thanks for reminding.

Gillian: So, what now?

Edison: Sorry. Why don't you come and watch us practice?

Gillian: Umm... Maybe yes, maybe no. You go ahead first.

Edison: Ok.

Shawn: We'll go on, Gillian.

Gillian: Ok, bye.

Cindy: Shawn seems not so keen on you anymore.

Gillian: What do mean? We are friends.

Cindy: Charlene may be happy when she knows that Shawn gave up on you.

Gillian: What do you mean gave up on me?

Cindy: You don't understand a word i'm saying don't you?

Gilian: Uh-uh (shook her head)

Cindy: Then, fine. What are we going to do now?

Gillian: Go watch the boys play basketball? (smiling)

Cindy: I should have known that you can't bear to leave your Eddie.

Gillian: Hey!

Cindy: Ok, ok. You go watch your Eddie play basketball and i'll mind my own
business, ok?

Gillian: What business is that? Alex?

Cindy: None of your business.

At Charlene's side,

Charlene: So? Anything?

Roy: Uh? Umm... [What should i say?]

Charlene: Why are you looking for me?

Roy: Uh? I...i...i... Umm... I...

Charlene: (gigles) You what?

Roy: I... actually... lyu.

Charlene: pardon?

Roy: I (took a deep breathe) Like you!

Charlene: What? You are kidding right? (starting laughing)

Roy: No, i am not.

Charlene: (stop laughing) Really? You are not joking?

Roy: Yes. I really like you. I like you already a few years ago.

Charlene: Umm.. I... don't know what to say.

Roy: You don't have to answer straight away. Think about it first.

Charlene: I will. I... I have to go now.

Roy: Ok. See you tomorrow.

Charlene: Ok, bye.

In the mall,

Charlene: So may I know who the girl is? Is she your girlfriend?

Roy: No. She's my sister. Her birthday is near, so I thought of buying her a gift

but unfortunately I don't know what to buy.

Charlene: Ok. What does she like?

Roy: She likes sports.

Charlene: Ok, what kind of sport?

Roy: Everything.

Charlene: (mutters) This is going to be harder than I thought.

An hour later,

Roy: Thanks. I’m sure she’ll love it. (holding a wrapped parcel in his hand)

Charlene: I sure hope so.

Roy: Thanks for spending your time helping me.

Charlene: It’s ok. I don’t have anything to do anyway.

Roy: What about lunch? My threat.

Charlene: Since you’ve mentioned it. Why not?

Roy: What do you want to eat?

Charlene: Anything will do.

At the girls apartment,

Gillian opens the door and saw Cindy sitting in front of the tv.

Gillian: Hi.

Cindy: Hello. How was your day with Edison?

Gillian: How did you know?

Cindy: Lucky guess? Who else will you go out with?

Gillian: Charlene?

Cindy: That was my first guess but I didn’t see her behind you so Edison is my

second guess.

Gillian: She’s not here?

Cindy: Who? Charlene? Nope, I didn’t see her anywhere.

Gillian: Maybe she went out.

Cindy: I thought so too. You haven’t answered my question yet.

Gillian: What question?

Cindy: How was your day?

Gillian: Normal. What about you? Who did you go out with? You wasn’t here

since morning.

Cindy: With someone.

Gillian: Of course with someone! Who is that?

Cindy: Umm… Wonder where did Charlene went?

Gillian: Don’t try to change the topic here.

There was a rattling sound behind the door,

Cindy: Charlene! You are back!

Charlene: Huh? Yes, I’m back. Why? Miss me already?

Cindy: Yup. Where have you gone?

Charlene: Since the both of you ditched me, I thought I’ll go shopping by

myself.

Gillian: Cindy! Don’t change the topic!

Cindy: What topic?

Gillian: Who did you go out with?

Cindy: Why are you so eager to know?

Charlene: I want to know too. Who is it?

Cindy: ( In her lowest voice) Alex.

Charlene: Huh?

Cindy: I’m answering this once only.

Gillian: Must be Alex.

Charlene: Really?

Cindy: (thinking) How can she have heard?

Gillian: Am I right?

Cindy: Uh.

Gillian: I’m taking that as a yes.

Charlene: Really? What did you guys do?

Cindy: Nothing.

Charlene: How can you guys do nothing? Are you two a pair now?

Gillian: I thought they were a pair.

Charlene: Oh yeah, i forgot.

Cindy: I don't mind.

Gillian: Mind what?

Cindy: Nothing.

Charlene: That means she is confessing.

Cindy: Yup, i am. I don't see there are anything to hide.

Gillian: Ok. Then when's your wedding?

Cindy: What?

Gillian: Just kidding.

Cindy: Aren't curious about the incident just now?

Alex: Uh? Umm... If you don't want to talk about it, you don't really have to.

Cindy: Don't you want to know more about my life?

Alex: Of course i do but i don't want to hurt you.

Cindy: You are the best! ( Gave him a hug)

Alex: [This is better than anything]

Cindy: I think i should tell you.

Alex: ok, then i'll listen.

Cindy: You know my parents and my brother migrated long time ago. Both of
my parents are very money-minded. Well they weren't like that before, after my dad got a raise. They started to think that money in everything, you can't do anything without money. Since then, i didn't get their attention; they just seem to place me below money...

Alex: What about your brother?

Cindy: He's still young. Anyway, he's even happier that mum and dad don’t put much attention on him so he can do anything he wants. And as long as my parents give him his allowance, nothing is a matter to him. He's just like them, money-minded!

Alex: Your parents earn money is for living, for you and your brother so that
the both of you can live in comfort.

Cindy: I know but they have gone too far. My dad didn't even remember how old i am, you saw that right?

Alex: Well...

Cindy: Ok, i'm ok now. Where are we going?

Alex: Huh?

Cindy: I have released everything out now i'm going to have fun.

Alex: Oh, ok. We'll go anywhere you want to go.

Cindy: Ummm... I can't think of anywhere yet. Let's just walk along.

Alex: Ok, anything for my girlfriend.

Cindy: Who's your girlfriend?

Alex: Who else?

Cindy: How should i know? Maybe Charlene? Or Gillian?

Alex: You want me to get it from Edison? If Gillian's my girlfriend, Edison will skinned me alive!

Cindy: Wow! Will he be that violent?

Alex: Will you save me then? If he really does that?

Cindy: Hah! Edison is a gentlemen. He won't do that. If he did, i would like to watch that.

Alex: Hey! Is that how you treat your boyfriend?

Cindy: What? (playing deaf) Boyfriend? What boyfriend?

Alex: You are still playing, aren't you? You think that's funny? (Pretend to got
angry and walked away)

Cindy: I was only kidding. (ran up to him) Sorry, ok?

Alex: Huh!

Cindy: I'm just kidding.

Alex: I don't like to be kid around.

Cindy: Then, what do you want me to do?

Alex: A kiss may help.

Cindy: In your dreams.

Alex: Come on, please?

Cindy: There's many people here.

Alex: There's no one here, ok?

Cindy: No.

Alex: Fine. (pretend to be angry again)

Cindy: Ok then. (kissed him on the cheek) Happy now?

Alex: Yup. You fall for that! Haha! How can i be angry that easily?

Cindy: You tricked me?! I'll get you for this! (Chased Alex along the road) Stop running!

Alex stopped and turn around but Cindy didn't know he will stop suddenly so she bumped into him and her lips landed right on Alex's lips.

Cindy: Why did you stop?

Alex: You told me to stop.

Cindy: Didn't know you were so obedient.

Alex: Of course i am or else i won't get it.

Cindy: What?

Alex: (Grins) Nothing. Let's go.

Back at the girls' apartment,

Gillian: Ok, i got to go now. Edison is waiting for me.

Charlene: Ok.

Gillian: Bye.

Charlene: Bye bye. (after Gillian left) Sigh, me alone again. Why everyone have a partner and i don't? Since they are all out, i might as well go out too.

Charlene went to the nearest shopping centre.

Roy: Hi.

Charlene: Oh, hi. You are Roy Chow from the next class right?

Roy: Yup. What are you doing here?

Charlene: What do you think?

Roy: I'm not sure about that. Are you free now?

Charlene: Why yes.

Roy: I need a little help from you. Do you mind?

Charlene: No. What's that?

Roy: I want to buy a present for a girl but i don't know what to buy, can you help me with that?

Charlene: Sure, since i have nothing to do.

Love Sky

Chapter 15
Charlene: Nothing to do!

Gillian: That's your problem. (Busy typing on the computer)

Charlene: Where is Cindy?

Gillian: No idea.

Charlene: Wonder where she went so early in the morning?

On Cindy's side,

Cindy: Now, can you tell me what's the point of waking me up so early in the
morning of a school holiday?

Alex: So that we can have breakfast together. (Munching his sandwich)

Cindy: After that?

Alex: We'll decide that later ok?

Cindy: Whatever.

After breakfast, Cindy and Alex are walking together on the roadside. Alex is
trying hard to grab hold of Cindy's hand.

Alex: (thinking) Come on, come on. Yes! Got it!

Cindy: Hey!

Alex: What?

Cindy: This. (Holds up her hand which Alex is holding)

Alex: Why?

Cindy: Umm... Nothing. (Blushes)

Cindy saw a familiar face. That person was directing some workers to unload
some boxes into the shop. Cindy took a quick step to the shop and Alex followed. Cindy stood in front of the shop and stared into the shop. Later that person turned around and

Man: Cindy!

Cindy didn't answer.

Alex: Umm.. Cindy, I think he's calling you.

Cindy: No, he is not. Let's go. (Pulls his hand)

Alex: But..

Man: Cindy! Wait!

Alex: He is calling you, why don't you answer?

Man: Cindy! (Grab her shoulder)

Well, that made her stop.

Cindy: Yes?

Man: Aren't you supposed to greet your parents when you met them?

Cindy: Oh, hello dad.

Alex: He is you dad?! Hi, uncle. My name is Alex.

Mr. Au: Hi, Alex. Why are you running away from me?

Cindy: When did you come back?

Mr. Au: Last week. You haven't answer my question.

Cindy: The answer is there.

Mr. Au: I don't get it?

Cindy: Since you came back last week, you have a week's time to come and
visit me but if I’m not mistaken, I just happen to know that you have came back. If I didn't bump on you today, you will just come and go, right?

Mr. Au: I'm a little busy with my work. I was planning to go over to your place.

Cindy: Really?

Mr. Au: Yes.

Cindy: it's a good thing you still remember this daughter. Well, do you still
remember what school am I in?

Mr. Au: ......

Cindy: Ok, maybe this is a little too hard for you. Do you know what form am I in?

Mr. Au:....

Cindy: See. You don't even know that. All you concern is your job and money. Everything comes first than your daughter. Everything is more important than your daughter.

Mr. Au: I'm really sorry.

Cindy: It's not the apologies I want to listen; I just want to know if I have just a little place in your heart and brain as your daughter.

Mr. Au: There is, really... (A man walks up)

Man: Mr. Au, you have a call.

Mr. Au: Ok. (Runs in)

Cindy walks away with Alex by her side don't know what to do or say after that situation. Cindy sat on a bench at the nearby park.

Alex: Is everything ok?

Cindy: (ignoring the question) Just as I thought, just because of one phone call about business, he'll just rush off. Leaving everything behind.

Alex: Umm... [I better not say anything then if I don't know what to say. Don't want to say anything wrongly]

At the restaurant,

Edison: Ok, what do you guys want to eat?

Gillian: Is it on you?

Edison: Does it make any difference?

Gillian: Yup. If it's on you, I’ll have steak. If it's not then I’ll just have a set lunch.

Charlene: What if it's on me?

Gillian: Umm... then I’ll need a few minutes to make a decision.

Shawn: It's on me then. To celebrate me and Charlene got the first in the
marathon.

Alex: Can we order now?

Edison: Ok,ok we'll order now discuss about who's going pay later.

After eating,

Gillian: I wonder who paid for the lunch just now?

Edison: It's definitely not me because I didn't get up during eating.

Shawn: It's not me either.

Charlene: I dunno.

Cindy: Me too.

Alex: Same here.

Shawn: Then who's the one who paid?

Cindy: Let's don't care about the who-paid-for-the-lunch thing. Anywhere to later?

Charlene: I'm tired. I think I’ll go home.

Cindy: Then we'll go home.

Edison: Ok.

Girls: Bye.

Guys: Bye.

At the girls apartment,

Charlene: (threw herself on the sofa) Aaahhh, it's so nice to be back home.

Cindy: Aren't you going to take a shower? I suggest you should after such a long
run.

Gillian: You go first, Charlene.

Charlene: Thanks.

The phone rang,

Cindy: Hello? ....... Yes, uncle?......... Oh, Charlene is in the bathroom........ that's ok
with us....... see you there ..... Bye.

Gillian: Who was that?

Cindy: Charlene's father. He invited us the have dinner at his house tonight.

Gillian: Oh.

Charlene: (drying her hair) Gillian, your turn.

Gillian: Ok.

Cindy: Char, your father just called and ask us to have dinner at your house
tonight.

Charlene: You said yes?

Cindy: Why should I say no?

Charlene: Just asking.

That night,

Maid: Miss, you are here already. Miss Au, Miss Chung.

Charlene: Yup, where's daddy?

Maid: He's in the study.

Charlene: Ok, you guys take a seat I’ll be right back.

Gillian: Ok.

Cindy: I wonder why are we invited here today?

Gillian: Uncle Wong's birthday?

Cindy: I don't think so. His birthday is around September.

Gillian: Auntie's birthday?

Cindy: I think it's nobody's birthday cause there's no party.

Monica walking down the stairs.

Monica: You guys are here already.

Gillian & Cindy: Hi Monica.

Monica: Want anything to drink?

Gillian: No thanks. Wonder why uncle invited us up for dinner?

Monica: It's just a simple family gathering.

Cindy: Oh. But what does that have to do with us?

Monica: You two have been living with Charlene for so many years, she treats
you two like a family so you are a part of our family too.

Charlene: (walking down the stairs) What's the topic?

Gillian: Nothing much.

Charlene's mum and dad came down,

Mr. Choi: Ahh... everyone's here. Monica, tell the maid to get the dinner ready.

Monica: Ok.

After dinner,

Mr. Choi: I heard that you won your school marathon this year.

Charlene: How did you know?

Mr. Choi: Of course I’ll know. It was my daughter who won.

Mrs. Choi: Charlene, you are good in sports why don't you stay the same in your
studies?

Charlene: I did. I have improved a lot since the last exam.

Mr. Choi: Then keep improving. Cindy and Gillian, you two should keep an eye on
her. Don't let her fool around, make sure she's serious.

Gillian: Uh? Ok.

Mrs. Choi: Cindy, I heard that you were the top in class last exam.

Cindy: Uh-huh. I was just lucky.

Monica: Cindy is very smart. Since you are so smart, why don't you give a little
piece of your smartness to Charlene, She really needed some.

Charlene: Hey! I'm not stupid.

Monica: I didn't say that you are.

Mrs. Choi: It's getting late now. You girls have school tomorrow right?

Charlene: Tomorrow is a school holiday because we had our marathon today, it's
a rest day for us students after such a long run.

Love Sky - Chapter 13

Chapter 13
The marathon day,

Charlene: Wow, Cindy. This is the first time I saw you wearing this uniform.

Cindy: It's not even mine. I borrowed it from a friend.

Gillian: Are you two ready?

Cindy: I'm ready. (holding her first-aid box)

Gillian: You look like a nurse, Cindy.

Cindy: Really? I should join this earlier ago.

Charlene: I still don't understand why you don't like running?

Cindy: Because I hate losing.

At school,

Shawn: Hi.

Charlene: Good morning.

Shawn: Good morning.

Charlene: It's almost time, let's go to the field.

Cindy: I have to go to the canteen. See you guys later.

Gillian: Ok, see you.

At the field,

Teacher: Ok students, before we start the marathon, you all are required to do your own warm up exercises.

After ten minutes,

Teacher: Alright everybody please line up according to your forms. We'll start with the form ones.

Twenty minutes later,

Teacher: Ok, now it's the form fives. Everyone stand in a line......Wait for the signal..... (BANG!) GO!

Everyone ran as fast as they could away from the starting line, Cindy was
looking at them as they run.

Cindy: Wow, everyone is so fast, luckily I’m not participating.

Yumiko: Cindy, you're in my group right?

Cindy: Yes.

Yumiko: Because you are new here I have to explain briefly about what we're
going to do later.

Cindy: Ok.

During the marathon journey, Charlene was leading but not long after that,
Shawn caught up with her.

Shawn: Hello.

Charlene: Hi.

Shawn: You're a fast runner.

Charlene: You too. Are the guys supposed to turn in here?

Shawn: Oh yeah, See you later.

Charlene: Ok. (thinking) At last, he is talking to me without asking anything
about Gillian. (Smiled and that gave her strength to kept running)

On Cindy's side,

Cindy: There are so many benefits being here. Firstly, I don't have to run and
that's the main thing I joined this. Secondly, I don't have to do anything here.

Yumiko: Who are you talking to?

Cindy: Umm.. no one.

Student: Yumiko, Cindy, there's someone sprained his ankle.

Yumiko: Where is he?

Student: Over there. (pointing)

Cindy: I guess I spoke too soon.

Yumiko: Pardon?

Cindy: Nothing.

Student: There he is.

Cindy: Alex?

Alex: Hi Cindy.

Yumiko: You two know each other?

Cindy: Yes, he's my classmate.

Yumiko: So you want to heal him?
Cindy: Ok.

Yumiko: Then I’ll leave him to you. (went off)

Cindy: Are you ok?

Alex: Well, it hurts a little.

Cindy: Can u walk?

Alex: Slowly.

Cindy: Let's go 2 the tent.

Alex: Ok.


So, with a little help from Cindy, Alex managed to get to the tent.

Cindy: Okay, now I’ll have to look at your foot.

Alex: (Took of his shoes)

Cindy: Eeww, what a smell. Smells like salted fish.

Alex: Hey!

Cindy: Just kidding. Now, if it hurts you'll have to inform me ok?

Cindy carefully pour the medicine on Alex's ankle and start rubbing it gently.

Alex: (staring at her while she's doing it)

Cindy: Hello? Is there something wrong?

Alex: Huh? Ummm... I mean no.

Cindy: I finish here. Can you move your foot?

Alex: ( try to move his feet) I think so, but it hurts a little.

Cindy: It hurts? Then don't move it. I'll bandage it now and we'll do the rest back
in school.

After everyone who are running got to the finish line.

Headmaster: (author: some sort of boring speech that headmasters always give)
And now, for the part where everyone is waiting here are the top fifteen runners'
list. (starting from form one.........) Here are the form fives' the fifteenth runner
is...,
the 14th, the 13th, the 12th is Gillian Chung from 5A, the 11th..............and now the first and the champion of the form five girls group marathon is Charlene Choi from 5A. (big applause) For the form five boys group the 15th is ............ the 6th is Edison Chen from 5A, the 5th...... and the first and the champion of the form five boys group marathon in Shawn Yue from 5A. Well, both of the girls' and boys' champion are from 5A, what a coincidence. Our annual marathon have come to an end. Congratulations to the winners and to those who didn't win there's always next year. Thanks for participating.

Gillian: I'm graduated next year. How can I come and participant?

Edison: Haha, you had already won the 12th place. What else do you want?

Gillian: I'm just kidding. Let's go find Charlene and Shawn. I think they are taking
pictures over there.

Edison: Ok.

Gillian: Hihi, our champion.

Charlene: Hi Gillian.

Gillian: Congratulations. ( Shaking Shawn's hand)

Shawn: Thanks.

Edison: Congrats to the both of you. By the way, where's Alex and Cindy?

Charlene: Oh yeah, I haven't seen her since the start of the marathon.

Gillian: I think she is in the hall with all the St. John's members.

Edison: How about Alex?

Shawn: I heard that he sprained his ankle during the marathon.

Edison: So that means he might be with Cindy.

In the hall,

Cindy and Alex are chatting happily.

Gillian: Hey, look. (Pointing at Cindy and Alex)

Edison: They sure make a great couple.

Shawn: Yup.

Cindy: (saw them walking in and waved to them)

Charlene: Haha.

Cindy: Huh?

Edison: How are you now, Alex?

Alex: I'm fine. It's just a minor sprained.

Charlene: I see or you actually forgot about the pain because Cindy is the best
pain killer. (everyone laughs)

Cindy: Charlene!

Alex: Oh, i heard that the both of you are the champion of the marathon.
Congrats.

Shawn: Thanks.

Edison: If it's not because you had sprained your ankle I’m sure you'll be top
fifteen too.

Gillian: Maybe he's much happier that way because he get to be with Cindy
during the whole marathon.

Alex: Don't make fun of Cindy.

Shawn: Aw, he's siding Cindy already.

Cindy: Ok ok, stop this now. Let's go for lunch.

Charlene: Now that you have mentioned it. Let's go. I'm starving after that long
run.

At the girls apartment,

Cindy: Hey, Char. How was Shawn?

Charlene: Ok.

Cindy: We saw you two talking, looks like you two are friendly to each other.

Charlene: But we are just friends.

Cindy: Just for now, maybe later he'll ask you out.

Charlene: He'll ask Gillian out, not me. I guess we'll have to be friends forever.

Cindy: I don't understand, why would he ask Gillian out?

Charlene: Because he likes Gillian.

Cindy: How would you know?

Charlene: You saw me talking to him but you didn't hear our topic. He asked everything about Gillian, isn't that obvious? Well, he even admitted that he like Gillian.

Cindy: But Gillian like Edison. So, you still have a chance.

Charlene: I sure hope so.

Gillian: What are you two talking about?

Cindy: Shawn.

Gillian: Oh. Go on then. I'm out of the way.

Charlene: Hey! Is he really that bad?

Gillian: He's kind of annoying if you ask me.

Cindy: Why?

Gillian: He keeps bugging me.

Charlene: It's because he likes you.

Gillian: Ok, ok, just stop talking about him when I’m around.

Cindy: Are we going out for dinner or we are going to cook?

Charlene: We'll go out.

Gillian: I agree with that.

Next day at school,

Shawn: Gillian, are you free this afternoon?

Gillian: Ummm... not very. Why?

Shawn: (disappointed) Just wanted to ask you out for lunch.

Gillian: I'm going for lunch with Edison.

Shawn: Oh. Never mind then.

Gillian: Charlene might be free, why don't you ask her.

Shawn: It's ok. By the way, I can still eat with my brother.

Gillian: It's up to you.

Flora came in,

Whole class: Good morning, Miss Chan.

Flora: Good morning. Well, just wanted to remind you guys that the school marathon is next week. I hope you all are ready for this and those who are joining the St. John Ambulance nursing team, please stay back after school the teacher wants to see you regarding about the school marathon. Ok, I had finished announcing, now let's start with our lesson.

After school,

Cindy: Alex, I can't join you for dinner.

Alex: Why?

Cindy: I have to stay back after school.

Alex: For what?

Cindy: Well, I’m in the St. John Ambulance nursing team.

Alex: Huh, what for?

Cindy: So that I don't have to run for the marathon. That's the only way I can think of besides skip school.

Alex: You really hate running, don't you?

Cindy: Yup, so see you later. I have to go now. Bye.

Alex: Looks like I have to eat lunch all by myself then.

Cindy: Sorry, I’ll go with you another day.

Alex: Ok, bye.

On Gillian's side,

Edison: Are you ready to go now?

Gillian: Ok, ok.

Shawn: Edison, con I talk to you for a minute?

Edison: Sure. (Turn to Gillian) You wait here. (Went of with Shawn)

Shawn: You're in the basketball team right?

Edison: Yes, why? You want to join?

Shawn: Yeah, but I don't know if I’m qualified to join?

Edison: Well, you have to go for a physical test first. You can see Mr.Lam for that. You know which, don't you?

Shawn: I guess so. If I really don't I can always ask.

Edison: Anything else?

Shawn: No. You can go have lunch with Gillian now.

Edison: How did you know?

Shawn: You told her to wait for you.

Edison: Oh yeah, and she's still waiting. Got to go now. Bye.

Shawn: Ok.

Back to Gillian,

Edison: Sorry for the long wait.

Gillian: In that case, lunch is on you.

Edison: No problem. Come on. (Took her hand)

Gillian: What were you talking with Shawn?

Edison: Nothing much, he wants to join the basketball team.

Gillian: Oh.

Shawn was looking far away; the jealousy in his heart was flaming.

At Charlene's side, Charlene was home already eating her takeaway food in front of the (where else?) TV.

Charlene: Sigh, it's so boring eating alone. Wonder what are that two doing now? Cindy might be still in the St. John's meeting; Gillian must be having a good time with Edison. Sigh.

Back to Cindy, after her meeting, she saw Alex standing in front of her,

Cindy: Hey, what are you doing here?

Alex: Waiting for you.

Cindy: I thought you were going to have lunch.

Alex: Yup and here it is. (Holding up a plastic bag with two pollster box in it)

Cindy: Uh-huh so?

Alex: I thought you might be hungry after the meeting. So, I went and buy takeaway for you.

Cindy: Thanks.

Alex: You want chicken rice or "char siew" (roasted pork) rice?

Cindy: Chicken rice.

Alex: Ok, here you go. (Hand her a pollster box) Then, let's go find somewhere to eat.

Cindy: Ok. How much is the rice? I have to pay you back.

Alex: Never mind.

Cindy: Yes, yes. You should mind. You had taken all the trouble buying it.

Alex: It's on me, ok?

Cindy: If you really don't mind. Then... never mind. (Laughs)

Love Sky - Chapter 11

Love Sky

Chapter 11
Alex: Let's eat lunch together and call Shawn along too.

Gillian: Then we'll leave them both alone. Just like what you guys did to me and Ed.

Cindy: Isn't it a little outdated? Charlene might have guessed it.

Gillian: If she really like Shawn, she won't object.

Cindy: That's just like you then.

Gillian: Hey!

Alex: Alright, that's a deal ok? I'll tell Ed.

Gillian: Yes. Then tell Shawn too.

Alex: No problem.

Back in class,

Cindy: Hey Char, how was your chat with Shawn just now?

Charlene: Ssshhh... (Turned around to see if Shawn’s listening, lucky for her he was not there)

Gillian: So?

Charlene: So what?

Gillian: Your little chat with Shawn. I can see that you like him.

Charlene: No, I don't.

Cindy: Don't deny it, your face had betrayed you.

Charlene: Ok, I admit then, I like him but just a bit.

Gillian: Everything starts with a bit then slowly a pile then a big pile then a hill then a mountain then a...

Charlene: I don't think he likes me.

Cindy: Why?

Charlene: Because he keeps forgetting my name.

Gillian: That's just a small thing.

Charlene: But this small thing shows that he doesn’t really care who I am.

Cindy: You're thinking too much. How about lunch with the guys? I think Shawn is coming too.

Charlene: Ok.

Gillian: Look, if you really like Shawn we'll help you.

Cindy: Yeah, we'll be supporting you.

Charlene: Thanks, but I rather he talks to me willingly than being force or threaten by the two of you.

Cindy: Hey, we are not that rough. (Took out her textbooks for the subject coming up)

The "after school' bell rang, everyone started packing their things.

Alex: (walk over to Shawn's place) Hey Shawn!

Shawn: Hi Alex.

Alex: Great! You still remember my name. By the way we are going out for lunch
together, do you want to join us?

Shawn: I love to. Who else is going?

Alex: Edison, the girls, and me.

Shawn: Is Gillian going?

Alex: Yes, she is, Charlene and Cindy are going too.

Shawn: Ok. Where are we going?

Alex: You'll have to come with us to find out.

Shawn: Hold on a moment, I’ll have to tell my brother that I’m not going home for lunch first.

Alex: Ok, see you at the school gate. You know where it is right?

Shawn: Of course I do. See you later. (Took his bag and went off)

Cindy: (taps Alex on the shoulder) So? Is he coming or not?

Alex: He is, he'll meet us at the school gate.

Cindy: Let's go.

At the school gate,

Edison: Why is he so long?

Gillian: Maybe he got lost.

Cindy: But the school gate is so big you can see it anywhere you are.

Charlene: Maybe he forgot about it.

Alex: There's no way he's going to forget, i just told him just now. He can't be that forgetful.

Gillian: There he is. (Pointing at a figure running towards them)

Edison: At last.

Shawn: Sorry guys, I got lost finding my brother's class.

Alex: Oh that’s ok. Let's get going.

At the restaurant (it's the same restaurant as mentioned in chapter 4, which had three sittings on each side)

Edison and Alex sat right inside; Gillian and Cindy were waiting to see where Shawn sits.

Shawn: Ladies first.

Gillian: Uh, no. You first.

Edison: What are you doing? Just sit down.

Gillian went to sit beside Edison and Cindy wanted to sit beside her but Shawn was quicker than she was. So, Cindy went to sit with Alex and Charlene sat beside her.

Alex: (whispered to Cindy) Anything wrong sitting with me?

Cindy: No. (whispered back)

Alex: Then what's wrong?

Cindy: We wanted Shawn to sit beside Charlene but he just didn't.

Alex: Never mind, we still have plan B.

Cindy: What plan B?

Alex: We can leave them alone later.

Cindy: Oh yeah, I forgot.

After eating,

Cindy: Alex and I are going to buy some things so catch you guys later.

Edison: Since when you two were together?

Alex: Not long before.

Cindy: Bye. (Winked to Charlene and went of)

Gillian: Ah, Ed and I are going that side, so see you two later.

Shawn: Can I go with you?

Gillian: Uh?! Why not? (Thinking) Why did he ask? He should say bye and just go with
Charlene and not hanging around with us.

Shawn: Gillian?

Gillian: Huh?

Shawn: What are your hobbies?

Gillian: Oh, umm.. Watch TV. Charlene likes it too.

Shawn: Oh. (Looks at Charlene, Charlene smiles at him. He smiled back and went on talking to Gillian)

Gillian: Umm.. I need to go to the washroom.

Shawn: Ok.

Edison: It's straight ahead.

Gillian: I know that. Char, why don't you come with me? You guys can wait here.

Edison: Alright.

At the washroom,

Gillian: Charlene, why didn't you speak to him?

Charlene: Because he keeps speaking to you.

Gillian: When we go out I’ll go to Edison and pull him away so that you can have the chance to speak to him.

Charlene: No need.

Gillian: Why?

Charlene: I think he likes you.

Gillian: No way! You know I won't like him. I like Edison.

Charlene: I know. But he doesn’t know.

Gillian: I'll go and tell him.

Charlene: No!

Gillian: Why?

Charlene: Because he'll be unhappy.

Gillian: Char, are you a bit over suspicious? I mean how can he like me? I just know him for a few hours.

Charlene: Don't you know what's love at first sight?

Gillian: Yes, I do. But I won't like him.

Charlene: He'll still like you.

Gillian: Ok, let's stop this now. We've been in here quite a while. Let’s go.

Outside,

Edison: What took you girls so long?

Gillian: Umm.. stomachache.

Shawn: Are you ok now?

Gillian: Yes, I feel much better now. (Walk over to Edison and pull him away) Let's go.

Edison: Ok, don't pull, I can walk.

Gillian: Sshh..

They walked a distance away from Charlene and Shawn.

Shawn: So, your name is Charlene, right?

Charlene: Yes. (Thinking) at last, he remembers my name.

Shawn: You are very close with Gillian?

Charlene: We live together.

Shawn: Oh, do you know what kind of guy she likes?

Charlene: Umm.. (Thinking) 'Gillian again'. Well, she likes cute guys, smart and active.

Shawn: (thinking) I'm considered that type too.

Charlene: You like Gillian, don't you?

Shawn: Yes, she's pretty and cute. Who won't like her?

Charlene: (thinking) He really likes Gil.

At Cindy's side,

Cindy: I wonder what are Charlene and Shawn doing now?

Alex: Trying to know each other, I think.

Cindy: I hope so. Hey look, there they are. (Pointing at the opposite side)

Alex: Yeah, I guess our plan worked. Cindy and Shawn are talking.

Cindy: Great.

Alex: Now can you stop worrying.

Chapter 10
Cindy was back home with Gillian and Charlene pestering her about that afternoon,

Charlene: What were you two doing at his house?

Gillian: Yeah, tell us, tell us.

Cindy: He just wants me to teach him how to cook.

Gillian: That's all?

Charlene: That won't have to take the whole afternoon right?

Cindy: What else were you two thinking that I’m doing with him?

Charlene: Maybe you two just realized that you guys were in love with each other.

Cindy: Oh, come on you guys. You know I’m not suitable for love. I'm not pretty, boring, stupid and most of all not sporty.

Gillian: You're not stupid, you are always the first in class.

Charlene: Nor boring, and you're pretty too.

Cindy: Whatever. I'm just not perfect.

Charlene: You are, you are.

Cindy: I don't care. Now, will you two give me a break?

Gillian: Umm... What do you think Char?

Charlene: Well...

Cindy: It's ten already, (pointing at the clock) I'm going to bed. (Ran into her room) Good night. (Close her room door)

The next day,

Charlene: Alex, did you do anything to Cindy yesterday?

Alex: Huh?

Cindy: (pulled Charlene away) I'm sorry. She had something wrong up there.

Charlene: Hey, you're on his side already.

Cindy: No, I am not.

Charlene: Oh really?

Gillian: Will you two cut it out? Hadn't the both of you had enough yesterday?

Cindy: She started it.

Edison came rushing in,

Cindy: Hey Ed, why are you late? Watching late night movie like us?

Edison: Naah... I just accidentally pushed my alarm clock off the table and it's spoilt. So, it didn't ring this morning.

Charlene: Oh.

Gillian: The teacher is not here yet. So you're safe.

Edison: Luckily, I’m not used to be late.

Charlene: Hey! Is there some hidden meaning in there?

Edison: No, nothing.

Alex: Who's that guy? (Pointing at a student sitting at the back)

Cindy: No idea, maybe a new student.

Charlene: He's cute.

Gillian: Yeah.

Cindy: Gil, you had Eddie already. You should stop starring at him.

Edison: Hey, what do you mean by that?

Charlene: Come on Ed, it's so obvious that you and Gil are together.

Gillian: I never said that.

Edison: So do I.

Cindy: Well, it's their secret. So we should not say too much. As long as they know they are together and stay like that.

Alex: Uh-huh.

Just then, Flora comes in. After greeting her, she called the new student to the front.

Flora: Everyone, this is Shawn Yue Mun Lok. Shawn, would you like to introduce yourself to them?

Shawn: Ok. Hi, my name is Shawn Yue Mun Lok as you've heard just now. You can just call me Shawn. I like playing basketball and I’m glad to meet all of you.

Flora: Umm... won't that place you were sitting just now is a little too behind for you. Would you like to sit there? (Pointing at the empty seat behind where Charlene and Gillian are sitting)

Charlene: (Thinking) Please say yes. Please say yes.

Shawn: That's ok with me. (Took his bag and went to the empty seat and sit down)

Charlene: (Thinking) Yes!

Flora: Ok, let's start the class.

Charlene: (thinking) how can I get him to talk to me? Should I introduce myself first? How? Hi, my name is Charlene, nice to meet you. No, no. He will surely say nice to meet you back to me then there will be silence. Urgh, why am I so stupid? I can't think of anything!

Gillian: Hello... anybody home?

Charlene: Huh? What?

Gillian: You have this kind of funny look on your face so I decided to ask what's wrong?

Charlene: Well, nothing.

Shawn: Umm.. excuse me.

Gillian: Are you calling us?

Charlene: (thinking) He called, he called!

Shawn: Yes, can you please lend me your timetable of the subjects?

Gillian: Sure.

Charlene: Here, take mine. (Quickly gave him her's before Gillian can even open her pencil case.)

Shawn: Thanks and your name is...

Charlene: Charlene, Charlene Choi.

Shawn: And you?

Gillian: Gillian Chung.

Shawn: I hope we can be friends.

Charlene: Of course we can.

Shawn: Thanks.

Recess,

Charlene: (pulled Shawn over) Now, Shawn, this is Alex (pointing to Alex), this is
Edison (pointing to Edison) and this is Cindy (pointing to Cindy).

Alex, Edison and Cindy: HI.

Shawn: Nice to meet you.

Cindy: (whispered to Gillian) Looks like Char is interested with this Shawn guy.

Gillian: (whispered back) Yup. You should have seen her face when Shawn agreed to sit at the place behind us.

Cindy: How was it?

Gillian: Dreamy.

Cindy: Wonder what's she's dreaming?

Gillian: Holding hands with Shawn?

Cindy: Maybe.

Alex: What are the both of you whispering about?

Gillian: Nothing to do with you. (Cindy nudges Gillian with her elbow) Ow!

Alex: Fine. But there's one thing, is it me or is Charlene interested with Shawn?

Cindy: Not only you, we thought so too.

Gillian: Let's try to pair them up.

Alex: Sounds like fun. Count me in.

Cindy: Me too.

While Edison, Charlene and Shawn are busy talking about basketball, Cindy, Alex and Gillian are thinking of a plan to pair up Charlene and Shawn.

Chapter 9

At Alex's house,

Cindy: Alright, what do you want me to do first?

Alex: Cook.

Cindy: Ok, come on. (Pulls Alex to the kitchen)

In the kitchen,

Cindy: What do you want me to cook?

Alex: Anything. It's up to you.

Cindy: Why don't we start with cooking the rice first? Then we'll cook the dishes.

Alex: Ok.

Cindy: Where's your rice cooker?

Alex: There. (Pointing to a corner)

Cindy: Oh, (took the rice cooker and hand it over to Alex) here you go.

Alex: Huh?

Cindy: Cook the rice, of course.

Alex: Oh. (Puts in the rice)

Cindy: Hey, it's just two of us here. We don't need that much. (Puts some back in)

Alex: Am I suppose to wash it?

Cindy: Yes.

Alex: (thinking) hmm.. This is easy. (On the tab and start washing)

Cindy: No,no, you don't wash it like that. Here, I’ll show you how. (Puts her hand over Alex's and guide him)

Alex: (thinking) She's holding my hands again. Why am I having this kind of funny feeling again?

Cindy: Hello, anybody home? (Waving her hands in front of Alex's face.)

Alex: Uh, yes?

Cindy: now, you will cook the rice.

Alex: Right. (Puts in the rice and on the switch) Now what?

Cindy: Is it ok if I use the things in the fridge?

Alex: Go on.

Cindy took out some ingredients from the fridge and start cooking.

After an hour,

Cindy: At last, we're done.

Alex: It wasn't very hard.

Cindy: These are just simple dishes. If you want to learn more, you can learn from your mum.

Alex: Let's take these out.

After laying the dishes on the table, they started eating.

Alex: Do you girls cook at home?

Cindy: We seldom cook. But sometimes I’ll cook the rice and they will buy some extra dishes.

Alex: But you're quite a good cook.

Cindy: Well, I help out in the kitchen when I was staying with my family.

Alex: May I ask you something?

Cindy: Of course you can.

Alex: If you find it too personal, you can choose to not answer. Why didn't you follow your parents to Australia?

Cindy: (stops smiling) Umm..

Alex: You don't really have to answer.

Cindy: That's nothing. It's just because my parents just work the whole day and don't really cares about me. But they weren't like that before my dad got a promotion, after that, all they care about is money.

Alex: Oh, (trying to change the topic) the school's marathon is near.

Cindy: Oh yes, I nearly forgot about that.

Alex: The news just came out yesterday.

Cindy: It's always about this time in the year. Are you planning to win it this year?

Alex: I don't really plan to, just do the best I could. But being one of the top fifteen will be good.

Cindy: But you run fast during the 100 metres

Alex: I’m lack of stamina. How about you?

Cindy: I'm thinking of an excuse to not participate.

Alex: Why?

Cindy: Well, what's the point of participating if you know that you'll surely be the last who reach the finish line.

Alex: How would you know? Maybe you might be the top fifteen this year.

Cindy: If there are only fourteen people running.

Alex: Come on, don't be so pessimistic.

Cindy: I'm going to wash the dishes. (Stacking up the plates)

Alex: But you're a guest, I’m the one who is supposed to wash dishes.

Cindy: I'm used to washing dishes. I always wash them at home.

Alex: You don't have to. (Took the plates away from her)

Cindy: I'd already had a free lunch. I should do something.

Alex: You can wash half of these.

Cindy: Ok.

In the kitchen,

Alex and Cindy are washing the dishes.

Cindy: Honestly, do you know how to wash dishes?

Alex: Of course I do, can't you see?

Cindy: No, I can't but I can see that you have washed that plate twice already.

Alex: I just want it to be twice as clean.

Cindy: Yeah right. (Flick some water to Alex's face)

Alex: Of course I’m right, I’m always right. (Did the same thing to Cindy)

Then both of them started playing with water, just like little kids.

In the living room,

Cindy: You've got a playstation.

Alex: Yeah, so?

Cindy: Wow, you've got a dance mat too.

Alex: I thought you girls had one too.

Cindy: We didn't play with it for a long time and it's deep inside the cupboard which
you'll feel lazy to search for it even though you want to play with it.

Alex: Oh, I play with it all the time.

Cindy: Can I have a go?

Alex: Sure.

Soon, Cindy took out the dance mat and the playstation and on it,

Cindy: It's so long since I did this.

The music started and she started "dancing".

Alex: (thinking) Wow, she's so good.

Cindy: (turned to Alex) Come on, take out the other mat and we'll have a two player’s game.

Alex: Ok.

Both of them began "dancing".
