3pm and it was a hot Wednesday afternoon. Unlike most other days, Jaime was alone after school. Everyone else seemed to have something on. He was thankful, though, that he's going home. It had been a long day, and his mind felt pretty drained.
As he approached the bus stop, someone familiar caught his attention. A closer distance and he recognised the girl. It was Sarah, his classmate.
"What a surprise! Going home so early today?"
Sarah seemed surprised to bump into Jaime too.
"Yup. Gonna go home get some rest. How about you? No date?"
"Nah," replied Jaime, "Feeling kinda tired. What bus are you taking? 300?"
"Yup. Changing bus at the terminal. You?"
"Many choices, but I'll take 300 today. Have to change buses later too. And you can have me for company!"
"Really?" laughed Sarah. "Then I owe you a treat for that huh?"
"You bet," winked Jaime.
Bus 300 soon pulled over at the bus stop, and both of them got on the bus.

Conversations on bus trips can be such fulfilling moments, as Jaime soon found out. Both he and Sarah had plenty to chat about. School, life, friends and...
"So, you haven't got a girlfriend?" asked Sarah.
"Nope, I wished I was that lucky to have one."
"Things like these don't happen because of luck. It's about feelings, sincerity and opportunity. You must have someone in mind now."
"Erm...well..." Jaime hesitated. Don't tell me she know about it? I haven't even let a single soul know!
"You must have one," teased Sarah. "Don't tell me. Let me guess."
"Actually..."
Sarah cut short of Jaime's sentence. "Is it Celine?"
Damn. Jaime couldn't believe it. How did she know? She couldn't be so lucky to get it right on her first guess! Jaime didn't know what to say. All he felt was a slight burning sensation in his face and head.
My god! I'm turning red! I can't be blushing now...
"Ha ha. I must have got it right! You're turning so red!"
"Erm...how did you know?" asked Jaime, looking puzzled. "You made such a lucky guess..."
"Or rather, an intelligent one," replied Sarah. "Don't you think you can escape stealing glances of her during classes and lectures. Others might have missed it, but not me."
Darn it. So it was that obvious. Fancy being caught in the act. So embarrassing!
"Tell me, how long have you felt this way? I'm so curious!"
"Erm..." Jaime was still feeling so shy.
"C'mon. I won't tell!"

Welcome to Cheng-xun's Blog. Call me CX if you want. I think that saves loads of trouble for people. Graduated with a Diploma in Media & Communication from SP, currently serving (quite reluctantly) the nation and hoping to go to Australia for further studies one day.
[[My Adores]]
I love music and I love food. I love writing but I'm not that good. Soccer is my first love for a long time, but it can't take me through the rest of my life. Would you? *winkz*
[[My Detests]]
Save the hate you have for this world, and you'll probably find it a much better place to live in.
