elyssa's story--chapter5 Elyssa gazed at the clouds that are floating by.Everytime just feels so light,so gentle,so comfortable.The breeze felt like small fairies,blowing all her fears and fatigue away ever so gently. It has been a really long time since she relaxed at her favourite spot,down the running track.Boy,she feels really great! Elyssa could feel her perspiration evaporating,alleviating all the stress she built up from this week.A truly exhilarating 5 km run!It has been a really long time since she went for a run.She was panting real hard just now;just goes to show that once you stop running,your stamina plummets. Sunset,wow,thought Elyssa.It has been a week since she told Samuel her true feelings.Well,at least it is a great load off her shoulders.She sees him in the schools's hallways,and they always greet each other like normal peeps.You know...Hi and Bye and How's Your Day?.. It certainly felt good to get things cleared up. Tania just broke up with her boyfriend,and just a few days before their 3rd anniversary.And you know what was that bastard's reason for break up?He complained that Tania's boobs were too small as compared to that buxomy girl in the next class.WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!What kind of lousy excuse is that?SON OF A BITCH! Elyssa was almost psyched up to give Mark a leashing and a few tight slaps,but was dissuaded by the every kind-hearted Tania.She did not want to see Mark get upset in any way. Still,Elyssa was terribly mad at Mark.He was a horrible and low-down loser.He critisised Tania in the middle of the school canteeen,yelling and hurling expletives at her,citing irreconcilable differences.Yet all Tania did was to sob and bent her head really low. But Elyssa,Kate and Helen rushed to her rescue and led her away,not forgetting Kate's kick at Mark's groin--twice in fact.It is certainly wonderful to have friends whom you know you can rely on! Seeing Tania feeling so blue and moody,Elyssa truly understands that being in a relationship is not sugar and spice and everything nice.Perhaps she has always taken a rose-tinted view to relationships. Now that Tania is so depressed,Elyssa decides to steer clear from any relationships.Sure,Mark and Tania had happy times,so did Brad and Jen.But in the end,they still broke up. What happened to all those sweet-nothings and passion and enthusiasm?The urge and desire to see each other everyday and to hear the other party's voice,before going to bed?The need to send the girl home straight to her doorstep?Where did all those go to? Perhaps Samuel sees me as some kind of novelty,and very soon he will get tired of me and chuck me aside.A thousand thoughts raced through Elyssa's mind and she shook her head to get rid of them.It is better to be single and carefree! Just as she was deep in her thoughts,a guy about her age plonked himself beside her,reeking of ''i have just completed 10km'. Elyssa turned to look at him,and her eyes met with a boyish grin,and tanned skin.Gosh...who is this guy? "Hi...I am Trevor.You were amazing!5km of running non-stop!" "No la...Just felt really good running that's all.Oh, I am Elyssa.Nice to meet you." She extended her hand,which was grabbed by Trevor tightly,giving it a firm shake. "The sunset is really nice eh?You really know how to choose the perfect spot for some sun-gazing.Haha.."Trevor said out of the blue. "Oh,this is my favourite spot.Nice place to think about stuffs and just to chill."Elyssa said,all the while admiring the sun and all the little things. Elyssa then got up to leave,and Trevor did the same too.Flashing an awkward smile,Elyssa walked home with Trevor,not before realising they actually live in the same block! They joked,laughed and did goofy acts...Trevor was certainly doing his best to entertain Elyssa. What a coincedence. |
