Love is everywhere She looks up from her pile of notes and books, and sees a dazzling smile. The kind of smile that melts your heart and sends them into flutters. Sadly, he is not smiling at her, but at Gwen, the perfect girl of the school. She is the one with the long silky hair; the long and slender figure; the sunflower disposition and most importantly, she has snagged the man of her dreams. Not Gwen's, but hers. Kate's. Of course, no one knows that. It is not as if Kate can go around telling her best buddies that she has been holding a torch for Colin all these while. Goodness, she will be drowned with comforting words like " Go on fantasising about him" and " Don't worry...You will meet the right guy someday", stuff like that. Well, she is not too bad herself, is she? Now they are laughing over something. The twinkle in their eyes was unmistakable. It was a sign of LOVE. Sighing, Kate packed her bags and decided to leave. She just couldn't bear to see the guy she likes so much cosying up to his girlfriend. Talk about pure jealousy and envy. Gwen and Colin is like the uber cool couple around the school, since they are literally made for each other. Everyone loves them and well, who could possibly hate them? The both of them the most popular and got-it-all personas. Sheesh! Carrying her backpack over her shoulders, Kate turned around and had another look at Colin. Suave, charming and absolutely irresistable. Sure, they were friends but not the close type. There was the occasional " Hi" in the hallways and assembly but nothing more than that. No emails, text messages or even online chatting. It is just that normal yet detached. Does Colin ever pay attention to his surroundings anymore?Kate questioned, only to find it fall to the ground with a light thud, as there was simply no answer to it. Perhaps Gwen is all that matters to him now. Heaving yet another big sigh, Kate walked home with her friends. Colin and Gwen were surrounded with more girls and boys, chatting noisily as she left the school gate. Boy, aren't they the most famous couple around the block. The noise faded as Kate distanced. Now she contemplates on throwing in the towel. It is too much of a tax on her life. All these thinking and swooning does no good. She tilted her head up and looked at the setting sun, glowing over the horizon. Gosh, I had better be on my way home. |
