Life In Technicolour

The floor is hard and my butt hurts as I sit with my legs crossed to my stomach, my back against the rectangular science desk. Chong and Tai sit in awkward posses beside me, we are concealed from everyone beyond the last desk by the desk's height. The teacher is going on about the periodic table , pockets of students scattered at every desk either listening or hindering the teacher's lesson. ' Loo, tai sui ar lei ( keep an eye out for us),' both Chong and I say to Loo who was sitting on a stool above us.

' Well we all would be failing our Chesmistry anyway,' Chong laughs, ' a good way to be spending our last days sitting here and completely wasting our asses off.' I smile and nod, Tai makes a funny face and the three of us laugh. I stop to think for awhile, again my emonism kicks in.

Wow, I actually DO have friends. All this time, they were always there for me, I never knew, never realized. I look at Tai, and then look at Chong. I cried to both of them for a few times since my seating in class was moved to to the back and became friends with them. I told them about my family, my drinking problem, my love interest not liking me back, everything. They listened, they comforted me, I realize this now.

' Shit man, you know Ian right?' Chong suddenly says. ' Yeah,' I answer. ' What about him?' Chong makes an angry gesture, shaking both fist in the air as he were knocking on something. ' That bastard's been hitting on my girlfriend.'. ' He calls and flirts with her,' he tells me, ' I'd punch the living shit out of that guy.' Tai minds his business as the both of us talk about Ian. Ian was this guy at the fifth class, some cunning and deliberate so-called 'ladies man'. Well, actually wasn't all good with the ladies. He once asked me for girls' numbers, even went to the point as of which he peep on my phone contacts and just took it. Piece of crap.

We talk on the matter for a while until I bring up Mew Car, out of no reason. ' I just can't get her to feel the same way I do,' I sigh, ' its like everything I do make the situation worse than it already is.' Chong gives me a smile and says, ' Maybe she isn't the one for you.' ' Yeah man,' Tai adds in, ' there are many fishes in the ocean, don't save a tree and burn the forest down.' I try not to look at them, try not to let them convince me into giving in. I really do love her, a lot, and I wasn't going to give it up because of some old idiom.
