MI(B)

recently, story-telling seem to be the "in" thing. Therefore, i decide to tell you a story that has left a very great impact on my life.

Once Upon a Time, as how most stories are usually started. There was this student fresh out of secondary school and attending His first day in school after a very long layoff. He was a reluctant student as it was not the school of his choice. But failing His E-maths left him with no other option despite being able to make it to certain JCs. CJC would have accepted Him if he had retook his E-maths but He had no confidence of passing it. Therefore, deciding to take up the one and only choice that was available to Him- Millennia Institute.

On the first day of school, He arrived with a heavy heart, not knowing where to go, not knowing what to do & not knowing what type of people He would meet there. He was scanning around for familiar faces and initially, She did not catch His eye. Her friend did as she resembled His ex-girlfriend alot. But when He saw Her, She simply took His breathe away. Have you ever gotten that feeling when you lay your eyes on a girl and in your heart you know that she is the One for you, to fill the empty space in your heart and to close the gaps in your fingers? It happened to Him there and then & as much as He tried to shake it off, it just wouldn't leave. I would say that at that moment He was in Love. To Him, it was Love at First Sight.

Throughout the entire duration of the Orientation Programme, He did not have the courage to talk to Her as She was always with Her Friend. Choosing instead to observe Her from far. Finally, His chance came, when Her friend did not appear for school that day. She was Alone! Plucking up His courage, he finally went up to talk to Her. And their First Conversation took place in the school's auditorium as He sat beside Her for lecture. I would say that they hit it off pretty well despite it being the first time that they have ever talk to each other. By the end of the lecture, they were exchanging numbers. Come the MI Dance, He wanted to ask Her for a dance, as he fondly remember, but sad to say, She was taken by Her friend. However, little did He know, that things will never ever be the same again.

The first time that He messaged Her was in a Lan Shop located somewhere in Serangoon. It was just a very casual "Hi, How are you? Do you rem me? I'm the guy from your OG :P" He messaged Her thinking that She would not reply. I would say He was rather scared by that thought. But to His surprise, She replied Him not long after He send out the message and boy, was He excited. They spent the whole night exchanging messages and finally signing off with a "Good Night. Sweet Dream" This was the first of the many SMS exchanges that they had

These SMS exchanges took place everyday even when they are in school and even though they are separated by just a few feet. From the start of school till the end. From the end of school till either party sleeps. 24Hours a day, 7 Hours a week. Time was not a barrier to either of them.

Their relationship bloom like flowers in spring. She wanted to leave MI for NYP as She was offered a place there in Sports & Wellness. But decided to stay for reasons which only He & Her knew.

Before long, their SMSes went to a whole new level, more intimate, more mushy. And the first time it happened, it was in a theatre when He was catching a movie with His fellow mates. He became "Her Darling Angel" and She became His's.

Their first date happened a few days before His 17th birthday on the 7th of May where She ask Him out to celebrate His upcoming birthday. They caught "Van Helsing" and after that spent the rest of the night together. Walking from Orchard to City Hall to Esplanade. Stopping there. They talked the entire way. Conversation seems endless and they found out that they had many things in common. They spent the night contented to talking to each other till the wee hours of morning and ended off with Him sending Her home. It was to Him one of the best birthdays He had ever have.

Their relationship went to a whole new level. He liking Her and She liking Him and they were a couple, though an unofficial pair. Their classmates got wind of this budding relationship and tease them endlessly about it. But I can safely tell you that none of them were the lest bothered by it.

They went out for study sessions, movies, etc. All the things that a couple would do. But all they lacked was a name.

However, as the saying goes "All good things must come to an end" This couple was ready to bring their relationship to yet another level but Fate was not kind on them as a third party unintentionally came in between them and wrecked what was a match made in Heaven. Thus marking the beginning of the end.

This girl came in between them, sticking close to Him and never leaving His side. I would say that He did in a way enjoy the attention that was given not knowing what consequences that it will bring. She was with Him everyday, everywhere but i can assure you that He never did like Her as He has eyes for one girl only. He did try to shake her off. But it never seem to work.

Things started going downhill then as I believe that Her so-called close friends started spreading rumours and saying things that were not true on hindsight.

Finally, exams came and the results were out. She left despite being promoted and it broke His heart. And to all, it was a sign that things had indeed come to an end.

Till this very day, He is still regretful and sorrowful of what that had happened. Though both have move on with their lives. Sometimes he wished that how nice if things had remained the same. But deep down, He know that it is impossible and it something that He had came to accept over time.

He was Me.

The Morale of the story is that Do not take things for granted. When a third party do happen to come in between, nicely tell him or her to "Fuck Off". Do not be afraid to Love as Love is a wonderful thing. And lastly, Rumours Kill
