chapter2

Elyssa stared hard at her Physics practical test. I cannot believe this!


6/30.With a huge SEE ME beside her disgusting marks.


Mdm Tan is going to chew my head off, Elyssa thought. Everyone else were cheering loudly on what great marks they've all got and as usual, the bitchy gang were again swooning over to Samuel, the genius who got a perfect 30/30 once again.


"OH MY GOD Samuel...You are so so so so so smart!My idol!!!!" screamed Macy with a noticeably fake tone of hers.


Oohs and aahs were exchanged among the pack of heavily made up girls surrounding Samuel, as they kept edging closer towards Samuel with their unbelievably padded chests. Yucks...They are so shameless!How can they try to seduce Samuel like that? I despise them!!!!!!! screamed Elyssa in her head.


"Laxing la~~~You see your veins all poping out le ley. Those cha bor is liddat one...Will do anything to seduce Samuel, but i heck care one la.Haiyo wei ah E,dun think so much.Go study la!O levels coming seh.Stop staring at em la." Helen interjected, while crossing her legs, putting em on Macy's seat.


Samuel squirmed in his seat,uncomfortable by the approaching of tits and legs,tried to hide his uneasiness by flashing his mega-watt smile.He peered over to Elyssa, who was pouring over her Physics text book,occasionally looking up towards him.He had wanted to talk to her long ago, becasue she seemed like a really great girl to be with. He was tired of all this pretence and plastitude-plastic attitude- and yearned to be a normal guy with friends who truly care about him.


Now,in his world,everyone just wants a piece of him.Girls stick around him to gain more attention from the boys and guys just want to take advantage of him to get to know more girls. How ironic! Inside, Samuel really wants to break away from all of these and just be free. I guess, Elyssa and her friends seems to be the only ones who are pure and real, thought Samuel.


Just then,the forever noisy and loud Mdm Tan ambled into the class room and bellowed, "CLASS STAND!CLASS GREET!SIT DOWN!" and went on to castigate all those failures.


Elyssa felt terrible and she just wanted to die. Her O's are coming,yet she is still failing subjects?Oh dear...she may never make it to a junior college!She is just going to repeat another year in this school and be laughed at by her juniors and peers.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Mdm Tan screaming at her, and she stood up from her desk and walk slowly towards the gates to Hell...erm no the teacher's table. There was her Physics teacher, like a lump of something plonked on her seat.So, she was, like a helpless lamb awaiting for her round of scoldings.

***
Lunchtime finally arrived, and it was apparent today was just not Elyssa's day. She failed her Physics practical badly, gotten a leashing rom her Math teacher and got picked on by Carla for being dowdy and PLAIN.

Seated beside her was old Helen, slurping her noodles at a deafening volume and munching them without any cares. Elyssa played with her vegetables on the plate, having no appetite for anything. There are going to be remedials all the way to the evening, and by then she will be as good as dead.Tania and Kate sat down in front of the girls, and started chatting about school.

Okay...let me introduce our two new characters: Tania and Kate.

Tania: Cheer leader. Used to be about 80 kg but slimmed down after someone mistook her squatting down for a arm chair. Not like the typical flirty and bitchy girls in her squad, Tania remains down-to-earth and is loyal and extremely kind.

Kate: Highly gothic and mysterious, always slapping on too much of compact powder and thick eye liners. Her faves are Marilyn Manson and she is always in black and red.But those are just a pretense.Deep down, she is very philosophical and experienced in life, emitting a somewhat jaded and cynical persona.


Elyssa poured out her woes to her bosom buddies, and they tried their best to cheer her up, but to no avail. It was of no use, for Elyssa is extremely dejected and she just wants to be knocked out. Elyssa excused herself, and went back to the classroom.


She walked painstakingly up the steps, and sighed heavily. She felt a tap on her shoulders, and turned back only to see Samuel smiling shyly at her. PHWOAR! Elyssa felt her face burn and took in a deep breath.

"Hi Samuel!What are you doing here?"

"Erm...I was waiting for you.I saw you looking so unhappy and i just wanted to tell you that failure does not mean anything.You are a great girl, and i don't want to see you looking so down. Cheer up ok? It breaks my heart to see you so sad." Samuel said, all the while looking at her with adoring eyes.

Elyssa was flabbergasted. Is Samuel down with a fever or did he said all of that to tease her? Or could have the boys ganged up to play this stupid trick on her? She surveyed the surroundings, and looked at Samuel with a confused display of histronics.


Samuel was about to say another word before Elyssa scooted off, covering her face which was of an adorable pink hue.

How cute!She is one special girl, mused Samuel.
