"In this situation, linear communication is disadvantageous because..."
Fullstop. Done. Last question completed. Time to get out of the lecture hall.
It was a slightly warm Saturday morning. Thank god for the cooling air-conditioner in the lecture hall. Having to go back to school on a weekend for test can be so dampening for the spirit.
It was a good thing the school allowed students to leave once they complete their papers. Beats staying in the hall and looking at everyone desperately squeezing every ounce of brain juice left trying to remember what they mugged for the last few days in preparation for the test. Especially when you haven't done much studying as the others.
The clock had struck 10:30. Test was officially over and everyone streammed out of the hall, discussing answers to the various questions. Some looked jubilant at getting the correct answer to the toughest question. Some had the word "disappointment" written all over their faces. Others, like Jaime, simply couldn't be bothered.
Jaime hated waiting at the bus interchange for his bus in the late morning. It's bad enough having to squeeze with so many people. Worse of all, those aunties had just finished their shopping sprees. At the nearby wet market. Darn...that stinky fishy smell...
Ten minutes and the bus had yet to arrive. Jaime whipped out his handphone, and began typing a message.
"Hi...on your way home now? How was the test just now?"
It can get morale sapping whenever one talked about tests and exams after school, but at least that's an excuse to start a conversation, isn't it? Jaimie thought. Something had to start somewhere.
Soon after, the bus arrived. Jaime managed to get a seat. It always pays to be one of the first few people in the queue. Seats were guaranteed. As he was about to rest himself on the bus cushion, he felt a vibration in his right pocket.
One message received. He opened the inbox and gleamed instantly. It was Celine's reply.

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*

Save the hate you have for this world, and you'll probably find it a much better place to live in.
