elyssa's story-chapter 4 Elyssa held her lucky four leaf clover close to her heart.She hoped that this little thing will bring her some luck later on. Boy...What is she going to say?How is she going to say it all to Samuel?Oh dear...a MILLION doubts are racing through her mind.Will she be able to pull it off?Or will she sound like some moron and get scoffed at. Elyssa shook her head violently and took in a few deep breaths.She had mustered all her courage to give Sam-he wants her to call him like this- a late night phone call.She wasnt expecting him to pick up,but nevertheless he did. They had agreed to meet near the pond at 3 pm,and it was not even 2.30pm,yet Elyssa is already here.Well,she is nervous all right?Judging from the way she keeps rearranging her hair and clothes,she does look like a gan cheong spider.Back to the story... Samuel smiled,as he watched Elyssa from a distance.SHE IS SO SO SO SO CUTE!!!!he thought.Samuel has never seen a girl in his school like Elyssa- she is so true and unpretentious,unlike the rest of the flock who preen themselves too much and too much kohl eye liner.Just not his type of tea. Samuel really liked Elyssa a lot.He can forsee all the fun times they will be spending all together.The both of them mugging for the O levels in the library...The both of them dringking ice cream sodas from the same glass...The smell of Elyssa's hair...A broad smile spread over Samuel's face. Their eyes met in an instant.Elyssa felt as if she couldn't breath as Sam walks towards her.He is like some Greek god...The golden boy everyone wants a piece of,yet he actually has eyes for her,a plain-looking and unbearably normal girl?She thanked her stars. "Hey Ely..You look fabulous!" Samuel praised,while giving Elyssa a tight hug.He would never let go of her!! Yikes!Elyssa felt as stiff as a log.Besides her father and brothers and her baby cousin, no other male has ever hugged her.Okay...she is kind of square. "Erm..Sam?Could you like release me for a sec?Heh..." "Oh!I am so sorry...I hope i didn't scare you,did I?I just wanted to hold you in my arms for eternity.So what is it that you wanna talk about?" Elyssa grabbed Sam's hands,as she looked straight into his eyes.Four leaf clover...Give me the best of luck!Elyssa murmured under her breath. Okay........ "Sam,I am really really a very lucky person to have you liking me.I really appreciate this!You are really a great guy and you are so wonderful.You see me better than everyone else,and you manage to spot me,a plain person in the midst of all the people.I really feel very fortunate and happy." "So..What are you trying to say?"Samuel asked,looking extremely confused. "What i am trying to say is that,I can't be your girlfriend." "Oh." "Don't get me wrong!I am not in love with anyone else nor am I playing you.I just think I am not ready for a relationship and I don't want to get distracted from my studies currently.Perhaps we could wait till the O levels are over?I mean you don't have to wait for me or..." "No.I will wait for you.I will wait for you to say yes to this relationship.I like you so much that i will never just give up like this.I will be right here waiting for you." Tears welled up Elyssa's eyes, as Samuel hugged her tightly.Elyssa sobbed uncontrollably,as she was so touched by Samuel's sincerity. Finally!She got it off her chest.This was a great decision that she made.Meanwhile,she and Sam will remain as really good friends.Or at least she hopes so. |
