REVISED **
Somewhere far away there are people listening carefully
Everywhere there are people looking up at the sky
Underneath the night sky, we who are whistling
Without words, are just tracing the constellations with our fingersAnd maybe, just maybe, we are tracing the same constellations....
Chapter 1 : The Fallen Sign
''Okay Ma ,I will be at the stall before 8 to help out , ya i won't be late la ! '' Kris said into the phone
'' Make sure ah son, you know I can't handle the crowd when it's peak hour. ''
Kris , a 16 year old teenager,looked up at the bright blue sky and reminded himself that reality simply sucks .Holding up his towel, he proceeded to the bathroom to have a shower and to hide from the world, as he always did on tuesday morning, in which he often was the only one there, with the Saren, the lifeguard for company.
''Hey Kris, don't enter the wrong bathroom kay ! '' Saren called after him.
As he strided into the room, he found himself staring straight ahead at a half naked guy who was throwing his clothes into his bag. Upon seeing chris, he ran into the cubicle .
Kris was surprised as it was the first time he saw someone besides him swimming so early.
He took no notice and went on to have his shower .
After he was done and was about to go home, he noticed that the guy was still bathing.... he went out and found a fallen sign beside the bathroom's door
He picked it up and was horrified to notice that the sign read : Due to construction, Gents converted to Ladies temporary . Sorry for any inconvenience caused . ''
About a second later, Kris decided to wait outside the Ladies' door and apologise when she walks out.
And the waiting begins.....
''Hey Kris ! What are you standing there like a tree for ? '' Saren called out.
''Crap, i didn't notice the fallen sign when i was going in to bathe , then i saw a half-naked guy who was actually a girl . Now I'm waiting for her to come out to apologise to her '' Kris replied
''Oh , you mean THAT girl , You know, she always seems to come at the same time as you, yet its amazing why you two never seem to meet one another until today ....
Dude ! It's your chance, she's pretty! '' Saren joked
''Ah shut up dumbbloke . You are distracting me, i don't wanna miss her '' Kris whispered fiercely.
Plop...plop....
'' Okay. She's coming. Good luck Bro . '' and Saren sped off in the direction of the pool .
As Kris stood alone there, he wondered what would be the reaction of that girl when she saw him standing beside the door .
Millions of scenario were just flashing through his mind and only stopped when she stood in front of him.
She was expressionless.
''Er.....'' Kris began .
He stopped, it was only then Kris had a real good look at the girl and he realised that she looked real cute.
All of a sudden ,she turned and ran away .
He realised she dropped a torn piece of paper as she was running away .
As he picked up the paper, he read the words haphazardly scrawled on the piece of paper ....
'' John , I am going to kill myself...
Christina''
Without thinking, Kris threw the paper aside and chased after this girl who called herself Christina.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarcasm, Contempt, Stonewalling, and Unwillingness to meet the other half's request.
All the above.. when combined leads to the death of love. ( familiar right)
So... what can possibly lead to the revival of love... ?Chapter 2 : Legend of the Lone Tree''Hey Christina ! You dropped something !''Kris shouted over .
The girl who called herself Christina stopped and turned to face Kris.
Upon seeing the piece of paper, she walked towards Kris and snatched the paper out of his hands and sped off again.
''Why are you going to kill yourself ? '' Kris had finally chased up to her.
'' Who are you ? Get lost idiot '' Christina grumbled .
'' But i just wanted to help you . . . '' Chris pleaded .
''Fine ! '' Christina had stopped under a huge tree and sat down abruptly .
'' Take a seat dummy, aren't you going to help me? ''
Kris sat down beside her .
'' Christina.. actually life....'' He began .
'' I am not Christina , dummy . My name is Katy , pronounced as Kat-ti . What's yours ? ''
'' Er... i'm Kris , pronounced as Chris , spelled as K-r-i-s ''
'' So you are not going to kill yourself ? '' Kris questioned .
'' Haha, of course not dummy, it's just a sample written for the Drama Club in school ! '' Christina laughingly said .
'' I am sorry ! Just now at the bathroom... ' Kris whispered in an embarrassed tone.
'' Oh , it's fine, you didn't see anything anyway, RIGHT? '' Christina questioned
'' Yes yes i saw nothing...!'' Kris said hurriedly
'' Hey, do you know about the legend of this tree ? '' Christina asked suddenly
'' Legend ?About this tree that's standing alone here ?
' Ya , its actually called the Legend of the Lone Tree , it says that this tree is able to record down everything that has happened in your past relationships with your loved ones , and that a couple who kisses under it at night, will be forever together... because the tree does not wish for it's visitors to be lonely.. just like itself . ''
''Interesting... have you heard about the legend of My Bed too? Its so warm and .... '' Kris asked .
'' Trying to be funny right... ? '' Katy rebutted , and Kris earned a punch of the arm from Katy .
They looked at one another then broke into a laughing fit as they leaned against the tree and looked up towards the blue sky.
Kris felt that there were no more needs for words , and just like the skies, Kris felt both his and Katy 's hearts clearing... and Kris and Katy sat there quietly until the sun set....-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world....
so... don't falter...
for someone is just there waiting for you to cast eyes upon....
my fave quote btw xD
Chapter 3 : The Rain
Or that was that he thought they would do.... !
'' Plat plat plat plat plat ' The rain was increasing in intensity by the second , within seconds, even with the tree's shelter, both Kris and Katy were soaked to the bone .
'' Oh man, what the hell is this ! '' Katy exclaimed
'' Follow me, i know a shelter nearby .Quick ! '' Kris replied .
They reached a small little pavilion near the entrance of the swimming pool and saw an old man sitting down. They hurried in and the old man suddenly said ' Young lad, if i were you i would give my towel to my girlfriend who is just as wet as myself ! '
Kris looked at the old man and was just about to open his mouth to tell him that they are not a couple when he received a disapproving look from that man.
Defeated, he handled over his towel to Katy , who took it with a big smile on her face .
'' Haha ! '' she whispered so that Kris was the only one who could hear her .
Kris shot Katy a dirty look and upon hearing that old man coughing, immediately turned back to look for dry clothes , and realised Katy was trying to contain her laughter .
'' Hey young lad, would u mind sitting down with your girlfriend and listen to what I have to say ?''
''Ye..'' Kris started
'' Of course not ! '' Katy cut in suddenly and totally drowned what Kris said .
Kris felt that there was nothing he could do but to play along with Katy, and sat down beside her
Kris felt something hard poking him .
He opened his eyes slowly and jumped when what he saw was his mother's furious expression
' Ah boy ! What are you doing here alone ! See la ! Always sleep so late ! Tonight you are sleeping at 10 P.M ! Let's go home now ! Going call police if still cannot find u already... ! 16 years old still cannot take care of yourself ! '
words streamed out of Kris's mother mouth like a machine gun .
When Kris was fully conscious , he realised that the rain had stopped and it was already very dark .
He stood up and realised that Katy was gone and that her script was clasped tightly in his hands....** i believe the part in orange is kinda confusing to a few of the readers, do give comments on how to lessen the confusions! *
thx !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life is short but a smile takes barely a second : D
Chap 4 : The Message Within The Script
'' A alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon because it has carbon double bonds... which allows it to have all these reactions ... Katy will i see you again...? ''
It was already the fifth time Kris felt his mind wandering to Katy, the girl who had left him only at the pavillion today, with only her crumpled script left behind , and is now laid on Kris' table .
Kris took the script and turned it over and over in his hands, wondering exactly why Katy had left only this script behind , of all other things possible .
Frustrated , Kris threw the paper aside and tried to focus on his chemistry revision .
'' Eh... what's that ! Why didn't I see it before.. ! '' Kris wondered, as he quickly reached out for that scrap of paper .
'' It's gone now.. weird...''
Kris brought the paper under the light, and to his utter amazement, he saw faint pencil markings, which have been erased away....
'' What the... Katy you.. ! '' Kris muttered , exasperated , and yet, there was a feeling akin to a flower blooming, right inside his heart...
Kris squinted and wrote down the erased words .
It read '' Hello dummy ! If you see this message then you are either very clever or very lucky !
95201314 ''
Hand trembling with excitement, Kris picked up his phone and keyed in
'' Hi Katy , I am very clever and very lucky ! ''
and sent it to 95201314....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He whispered softly,
his words like music to her ears,
"I Love You,"
and her response the same,
heard like the gentle breeze,
"And I, love you, forever.

Chapter 5 : Will We Meet Again....?
Beepbeepbeepbeep
Kris had thrown his books back into his bag and had placed his phone right in front of him.
'' New Message from 95201314 ''
Kris selected ''View Message''
'' Hello dummy ! You don't lie hor ! i know you just lucky ! Baka ~ ! So was just sleeping at the chairs comfortable just now ? ''
'' What the... why didn't you wake me up...?! I got scolded by my mother because of you ! T_T '' Kris keyed in, and selected ''Send''
Seconds later , Katy replied , with
'' Haha sorry la, I tried to wake you up ! But you were sleeping like a log ! ! Next time I make sure I bring alarm clock with me always to wake you up ! Ehhh.... your science good...? ''
'' Wa... i today just know you you want me to teach you already ? Can , 1hour $15 ! '' Kris replied with fervor and found himself smiling throughout the whole process of replying .
'' Win liao lor ~ ehh.... where you live ? Got girlfriend ? Or you gay ? Got work before ? What School ? What class ? What subject combination you taking ? You express or what ? You want go JC or Poly ? Or you don't want to study anymore and sell char kway tiao ? What are your hobbies ? You know how to swim ? Today your first time swimming there isit ? Why I never see you there de..? '' Was the reply that Katy had sent over within a few seconds timespan.
'' Lazy reply lah... '' Kris shot over his reply .
' Beepbeepbeepbeep ! '
Kris looked at the clock and realised that Katy has finally replied, after 1 hour .
'' Hey Kris.... what do you think love is huh...? ''
Kris was taken aback.. and he threw his phone aside and buried his face under his pillow .
After what seem like an eternity , Kris picked up his phone and keyed in
'' I don't know anymore.... neither do I want to want to know what it is.... so... what do you think it is...? ''
Kris hesitated for a moment and selected ''Send '' . .. . . .
''beepbeepbeepbeep ''
Reluctantly , Kris read the message and was not surprised to know that it read
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
''
'' Haha.... that must be because you don't have a boyfriend yet...'' Kris entered into his phone, selected ''Send '' and laughed at Katy's naivety .
'' Whatever ! Bleh ! Hey, so when can I see you again.... ? : D ''
'' Blehh back ! Anyway...I'm sure we will see each other again de la Katy... After all... we are all under the same sky right... ? ^_^ . But i hope I don't see you ! I have to sleep le ! Goodbye ! '' Kris quickly replied .
After sending that message , Kris buried his head under the pillow and tried to get to sleep, but...
Kris knew that deep in his heart he was lying about not wanting to see Katy again....----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience makes us feel completely alive,
where every sense is heightened,
and every emotion is magnified.
Our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flung into the heavens.
It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon,
but that doesn't diminish its value,
because we are left with memories
that we treasure for the rest of our lives.....
Chapter 6 : We Are The Same
'' A alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon because it has carbon double bonds... which allows it to have all these reactions ... Kris... what reactions are those? '' Ms Tan, the form teacher of the class questioned suddenly .
'' What... ? Er.... substitution reactions... ? '' Kris replied groggily .
''Kris ! Come here ! This is already the fifth time i have caught you sleeping during class ! Okay class, do question 1 to question 10 now , complete it by the end of the lesson . '' Ms Tan commanded .
Kris steadied himself and walked over to Ms Tan's desk , he had barely had an hour of sleep the day before , it was always the same scenes repeating over and over in his head and making him unable to get some shut-eye .
''Kris , what's wrong with you nowadays... ? Do you know that... Oh , you have come , go back to your seat first. Kris i'll deal with you later . See me after class . ''
Kris dragged his feet back to his seat and slumped down onto his seat and began sleeping again . Somewhere far off Kris could hear his teacher announcing to the class .
'' Okay class, this is our new pupil, she's called Katy , and she will join us for the rest of the year , Katy, would you please give an short introduction of yourself to the class ? ''
Kris felt something hard poking him, it was Nicky .
'' Oioi wake up la, cute girl sia ! ''
Kris pushed Nicky's hand away and continued sleeping .
'' Hello , I'm Katy , and i transferred here from New Town secondary school as my parents wanted to have a change of environment , and my main hobby is swimming ! I hope to know you guys more, please give me your guidance . Thank you ! '' A surprisingly familiar voice rang out .
Kris shrugged it off and carried on sleeping .
'' All right, Katy, why don't you sit beside Kris, over ... Kris ! Wake up and complete question 1 to 10 '' Ms Tan warned in a threatening tone , as though daring Kris to go back to sleep again .
Resigned to fate, Kris lifted his head and looked at Ms Tan, who was at last satisfied when she saw that Kris' eyes were wide open and Kris proceeded to completing the questions as fast as possible, so that he can go back to sleep .
'' Creakkkk ''
Kris wasn't surprised to know that the girl who called herself Katy was moving her tables and chairs away from him .
Kris ignored her actions and was really irritated to have felt something hard poking him again .
It was Nicky .
'' Get off my back Nicky, don't irritate me anymore , I'm tired and I just wanna complete my work as soon as possible ! '' Kris whispered in a loud voice facing his paper so that Ms Tan would not catch him talking .
Kris felt something hard poking him again .
''Stop it la idiot ! ''
Kris felt something hard poking him again .

'' What?!'' Kris turned and found himself face to face with Katy. Who had a big smile on her face .
'' Hi ! We meet again ! Under the same sky huh... ? ''
Kris was shocked and stunned for a moment.
Katy still had that big smile on her face.
'' Ringggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!''
The bell to signify that lesson had ended and recess had arrived rang.
'' Okay see you Katy . Lunch time ! '' Kris stood up and started towards the door .
'' Hey, wait ! Can you bring me to a secluded place ? I want to talk to you '' Katy immediately replied .
'' What? I want to eat ! T-T '' Kris continued walking towards the door.
'' Hey Kris ! Why don't you go have a chat with Katy, I'll buy you some charsiew bao'' Nicky suddenly cut in .
'' Zzzzz . Fine . Follow me .'' Kris said reluctantly .
Kris lead Katy to the balcony beside the Art Room, which no one visits during recess because it is too far away from the main buildings .
'' Katy, why did ask me to bring you here ? '' Kris questioned .
'' I.... want a honest answer....'' Katy whispered in a shy tone.
'' To ? '' Kris pushed on
'' What do you think... Love is...? ''
''What...? I told you before, I don't know what it is and don't want to know . '' Kris replied in a stolid tone .
'' Lies..... ''
Katy's head was now lowered down and Kris couldn't help but feel that his heart suffered a few more slashes when he saw how Katy responded to his words.
'' What do you think... love is.... ? '' Katy repeated herself .
'' Don't know, don't want to know . '' Kris replied , without any emotions in his voice .
''Kris... be truthful to yourself and me... what do you think love is... ? I am curious as to what is your answer... ''
''SHUT UP ! I DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS ANYMORE, I DON'T WANNA BE HURT AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER HER .NO ! NO ! NO ! I DON'T WANT TO BE HAUNTED BY IMAGES OF HER AGAIN, NO ! I DON'T ! I JUST DON'T !
I LOVED HER SO MUCH..... SO MUCH....SO MUCH..... IT'S BEEN A YEAR, I STILL REMEMBER EVERYTHING SHE HAS SAID AND DONE . EVERYTHING ! I NEVER EVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE FEELING OF LOVE AGAIN! IT WOULD JUST BRING ABOUT MORE PAIN !
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT IS ANYMORE..... THAT FEELING... I HAVE NO WISH TO EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN... IT HURTS... IT REALLY HURTS AND SCARS MY HEART.... I FELT THAT I WAS DEAD AT THAT EXACT MOMENT WHEN SHE SAID
I hate you ! ''
Kris couldn't control his tears and was crying uncontrollably, his knees suddenly gave way and he collapsed onto the floor, he didn't know why he suddenly exploded , it was just all the emotions inside him which suddenly rushed out of him, Kris didn't want any of this to happen , and for it to happen in front of Katy....
'' So... we are the same...I understand your pain. ...Why does love have to hurt?...... Why can't one's love be reciprocated? .......Why after all these years? .......Why? The perennial questions..unanswered and unanswerable...unacceptable...
one start with a dream, hoping it will become a reality, but all the time, the warning signs were there that it is only an illusion of love, for one cannot accept the truth, and as such, continue to live in that fantasy....
Until one day, that fantasy cracked like a glass, shattering one's illusions, driving one onto the knees, tears falling easily, finally realizing how foolish one had been and the wasted years...
The pain never goes away...it stays forever...lingering and haunting one...for being a fool in love...and vow to never love again...
'' Katy whispered, ever so softly into Kris' ear
Amidst Kris' tears, he didn't notice Katy wrapping her arms around him and that she was also sobbing uncontrollably....
At that moment, it was as though Kris and Katy's hearts, souls minds and bodies were interlinked and completed as they remain locked in an seemingly eternal embrace ....------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 7 : Can It Be... ?
Kris felt disgusted.
He could not bear being touched by another girl again, after what happened with Eve.
'' What are you doing Katy.'' Kris questioned silently, his voice deadly.
There was no answer.
''Let go of me.'' Kris persisted .
Kris felt something warm shifting away from him .
''Sorry Kris. '' Katy mumbled.
Kris stood up, allowed the last tear to drop, and reached down to lift Katy .
Katy ignored Kris and headed towards the door.
'' Hey... ! '' Kris called out.
'' What.. ? '' Katy responded, with a faint smile forming on her face.
Upon seeing Katy's smile, it was as though something warm had returned to his side again.
''Let me bring you to the canteen, you must tired after all the crying , right ? '' Kris joked .
''Yea, I am craving for some ''I wan to whack Kris bun '' Let's go dummy ! '' Katy responded in kind .
When Kris and Katy reached the canteen , it was as though everything that had happened in the Art room didn't even happen.
When back in class, Katy had reverted back to her usual cheerful self and was easily mixing around with the people in the class
'' Hey , where you live ah ? '' Katy asked all of a sudden.
'' I live at ..''
'' Eh, you two stead ah?Whole day you all sticking to each other like glue sia ! '' Nick y and a bunch of other girls asked enthusiastically .
''No... '' Kris began
"Ringggggggringringringringggggggggggggggggggggggg''
The bell to signify that school has ended has arrived.
''Goodbye~! ''The group of girls had already walked through the door and walking to the toilet by the time the bell had stopped ringing.''Oh ya, I live at the ...''Kris turned back to face Katy and realised that she had also disappear into thin air .Feeling irritated, Kris packed his bag unenthusiastically after realising that he had just missed the chance to also find out where Katy lived .How much he wanted to know where she lived... he realised all of a sudden... What exactly is this feeling and when did it surface... Kris wondered...----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To smile with you, for you, and because of you....
Chapter 8 : Her Appearance
''Let go of me ! '' Katy cried
''No...'' Kris whispered
''Stop it... It hurts ! Let go ! '' Katy pleaded desperately
Kris can't move a muscle , he only managed to continue standing there, barely hanging on, he simply could not bring himself to do it .
'' Let go before I shout Molest ! '' Katy cried again , tears streaming down her eyes .
Kris gripp hardened and all he could do was to stand by and carry on watching, he did not have to courage to let go.
'' Let. Go . Of . Me . Dan ! '' Kris could hear Katy shouting word after word at a man who was well-built and much more taller then him from the pillar he was holding on to.
'' Katy , come back to me, I need you ! '' the man who Katy called Dan pleaded.
'' Are you crazy ! It's over ! Finished ! Understand ? And let go of me !'' Katy replied, in an irritated manner.
Kris clenched his teeth and steadying himself, began to run towards the two .
'' Let go of her ! '' Kris warned Dan, his voice trembling slightly .
'' Who the hell are you ?'' Dan shouted menacingly
'' I am-'' Kris began
'' My boyfriend la '' Katy cut in .
'' Bastard... you are gonna- '' Dan began
'' POLICE !! Help ! Harassment ! '' Katy shouted all of a sudden.
Dan looked stunned for a moment and looking around him, started running for his life.
Kris and Kate stood there until Dan was gone .
Kris felt that he needed to do something.
He didn't know what to do.
It wasn't included in those instructional videos he frequently watched on YouTube.
Kate started crying all of a sudden.
Kris was even more shocked and racked his brain to determine what to do.
''Good bye, I am going home . '' Kate announced all of a sudden, and started walking towards the lift .
Kris looked at his watch and realised that he was late too, and he too walked towards the lift.
The lift was closing and Kris rushed in and what he saw was just more shock.
'' What the.. stop following me...! '' Kate glared at Kris.
'' No ... I live here too. Look, we even live at the same floor ! '' Kris exclaimed , pointing to the panel .
When the door opened again, Kris walked ahead and headed toward his apartment.
Kate was following behind, he just realised that she stay at the apartment directly opposite of his, as the couple there had just moved away.
No birds were chirping, no maintainence was going on, only the sound of Kate and Kris shoes brushing away the cold cement floor could be heard
The entire corridor was silent, so silent that it made Kris' goosebumps raise.
Kris's apartment door was locked, he started unlocking it when suddenly a figure started suddenly appeared from nowhere when Kris opened the wooden door.
''Hi Darling !'' The figure exclaimed , and hugged Kris .
It was Eve... !
The door behind Kris closed with a loud bang ....
Kris was shocked , and pushed away Eve.
'' Why are you here . '' Kris asked , his voice bordering on cold
'' Because I love you , Kris ! '' Eve replied angelically.
''Stop insulting love. '' Kris thought to himself, staring straight at Eve-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your eyes?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You'll say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
I need to know
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Can you define love? Is it even real?
But hey, if you believe in it.... Who cares...?
Chapter 10 : ( No title)
''How did you get in ? '' Kris questioned while striding towards the sofa.
He wanted to be as far away from Eve as possible.
''How? '' Kris pushed on, when there was no reply.
'' You mother gave me the keys.'' Eve responded and also started walking towards the sofa that Kris was sitting on.
Eve sat beside Kris.
Kris stood up and went to the rattan chair that his mother was so fond of.
'' Why did you come back all of a sudden ? Didn't you say that you hated me six months back?'' Kris questioned .
'' Kris... I said what I said on the spur on the moment.. surely you know that by now ? ''
Eve pleaded.
'No'' Kris replied firmly.
'' Kris...'' Eve whispered and reached out for Kris.
Kris pushed Eve's hands away and asked, '' So why are you here? ''
'' Oh.. I have to quarantine myself from my mother because she just came back from Malaysia . My mother then called your mother and asked if she could let me stay at your house for a week ! '' My things are all in the spare bedroom already ! ''Eve replied with faint smile on her face.
'' You- WHAT?'' Pure shock registered on Kris's face.
Kris ran to the phone and his hands fumbled with the phone. After several minutes, he managed to get through to his mother.
'' Ma ! Eve staying here for the week ? ''
'' Ya la . Cannot ah ahboy ? I very busy, anything else anot ? By the way, you later fix something for Eve to eat okay ? I cannot make it to dinner. Treat her well okay ! She is our guest ! ''
'' Can let her stay somewhere else anot ma? ''
'' Cannot ! I promise Aunty already. Don't throw my face hor ! ''
'' Okay ma... '' Kris said, resigned to his fate after hearing his mother's authoritative voice.
All the while during the conversation, Eve was standing beside Kris with a foolish smile on her face .
'' Treat me like a guest okay ? '' Eve responded with a lazy grin on her unblemished face.
Kris knew , and he was very sure that he could not bring himself to hate, or even dislike Eve in the slightest sense, when Eve's lazy grin reappeared right in front of his eyes.
He was lying to himself all this while.
Kris hated himself for treating Eve like a friend, despite how he was treated, but one thing he was sure. He did not like her anymore. Eve was just a friend to her.
'' Yes a friend, just a friend only. '' Kris reassured himself.
' Sorry. Need the washroom. Be right back. '' Kris announced.
Once in the bathroom, Kris tried his utmost best to calm himself down and desperately tried to regain his composure.
He released his hands from the basin only when his hands were going bone white from gripping it .
Kris splashed some water on his face as a final preparation to meet Eve and he opened the door .
Knees buckling, he tried to find his way to the sofa and sat down and started to pour himself a glass of water.
Kris gulped down the glass of water and said,
'' Let me show you where to put your belongings''
Kris started towards the bedroom with Eve trailing behind him .
All of a sudden, Kris felt something warm and heavy collapse onto his back, and it was repeating,
''Kris, I love you. Don't ever leave me again ! ''
Kris felt his back getting wet and it stunned him to realise that Eve was crying.
'' Hey Kris ! What homework do you have for today? '' The door opened and a cheerful voice streamed in towards the direction of the door , which Kris recognised immediately as Katy's.
The door immediately closed and a loud bang issued from the behind the closed door, what Kris was positive he saw was tears trailing behind Katy for a split second before the door closed....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two hands to hold.
Two legs to walk.
Two eyes to see.
Two ears to listen.
But why only one heart?
Because the other was given to someone else.
For us to find...
Chapter 11 : I hate you !
The door opened. Again
Kris immediately turned around and pushed Eve back at lightning speed.
''Kat-''
'' Ah boy ! What are you doing !''
Kris looked towards the door, it was Ma.
'' Ma, i thought you are not coming back until later? '' Kris questioned, with confusion registered on his face
'' Hi Aunty'' Eve responded cheerfully.
'' Was worried bout you two lor . Let me get to the kitchen now, and no more hanky panky hor Kris ! '' Warned Kris's mother .
'' Good, Ma, I don't feel like eating tonight. I am very tired. Don't disturb me tonight . '' Kris announced , trying very hard to keep his anger down.
He then quickly stomped off towards his room without waiting for any confirmation.
Once in his room, his knees felt like buckling as he thought of the reprecussions of the scene that Katy saw. However, in another corner of his mind, he was sure that it was not Katy, just some salesperson who vaguely looked like her. 'Why the tears then?!' , the question that repeatedly shot through his mind.
He decided, he would ask her tomorrow... !
With that, Kris calmed himself down and dropped into sleep akin to a stone dropping into a river.
'' Katy.... hi...''
'' What ! ''
'' Er....''
'' What la..! Faster say. I no time! ''
'' Yesterday.... ''
'' Yesterday what ! Stop stuttering la ! ''
'' Was it you at my door ! Did you see what happen ! ''
'' Yes. So ? ''
'' Katy. I can explain.''
'' No need to explain, I am nobody to you anyway . ''
''Katy.... ! Your tear-''
'' Shut up Kris ! I hate you ! ''--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I get the best feeling in the world when you say hi or even smile at me because I know, even if its just for a second, that I've crossed your mind.

Chapter 12: Reply
'' Ringgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg ! ''
The alarm bell rang.
Kris eyes flew open and his heart was still beating very fast even although he realised that what happened was just a dream.
Blinking a few times, Kris sat up and looked at the clock. The clock wrote '' 3: 50 A.M ''
'' Is Katy awake..? '' Kris wondered, and started towards his phone.
Kris held the phone in his sweaty palms.
His mind went blank. He had no idea what to say to her.
Kris searched through his mind once again to look for directions in the Youtube Instructional videos he always watched.
Nothing.
Feeling helpless, Kris threw the phone onto the bed and forced himself to sleep.
Kris stared at the clock again.
'' 6:00 A.M ''
Kris had not slept at all.
He immediately got up and prepared for school to avoid Eve and Katy.
10 minutes later, Kris was already on his way there.
All of a sudden, it started pouring and Kris opened his umbrella, as he headed towards the overhead bridge, he saw a cardboard box title' Please Take Him. Thanks You ! ''
Feeling curious, Kris peered inside.
To his surprise, it was a dog, soaked wet from the rain with the bridge offering barely any protection.
Kris stood there for a moment and decided to place his umbrella above the box, so that the dog won't get any wetter.
For the rest of the distance, Kris ran as fast as he could to prevent getting more water seeping into his clothes.
Upon reaching school, no one was in the canteen and he sat there and waited .
'' Oi Kris... wake up.. ! '' Kris heard a vague voice calling out.
Kris opened his eyes and got the shock of his life when he saw his classmates all standing around, Ms Tan was walking towards them at a rapid pace and reaching them soon.
'' Go and change ! Why you so wet ! '' Nicky chided and held out a set of PE clothes.
Kris took it and ran to the bathroom, ignoring the muttering and questions of his classmates, and he noticed that the rain hasn't stopped yet, when he ran towards the bathroom.
When he reached the table where he had fallen asleep at, he discovered that the group still hasn't dispersed and tiptoed to see what was going on, all he heard was another person getting wet.
It was Katy, and the girls all searched their bags for some clothing to lend Katy, and Kris just watched on as the group of girls followed Katy into the washroom to help her dress up.
Kris had a feeling akin to sinking to the bottom of the ocean when he realised that he was being ignore by Katy.
The day ended uneventfully as he was ignored the whole day, in which Katy ignored all his attempts to start a conversation.
Kris thought of the dog and hurried off to look for it after saying bye to Nicky.
As he approached the dog, he saw two umbrella instead of one, and it warmed his heart to realise that someone else had also placed their umbrella there to help the dog .
He quicked his pace and picked up his umbrella and kept it while taking out his handphone
'' Hello, SPCA ? There is an abandon dog at street 51 , jurong west, under the the overhead bridge near Jurong Point. ''
'' Ok, we will collect it as soon as possible. Thank you. '' the cool misty voice at the other end of the line responded.
Picking up the other umbrella, he examined it and discovered that it was branded ' Katy' with the address which was similar to his.
It hit Kris why Katy was wet when she came to the school today.
He saw a glimmer of hope of being able to talk to her and rushed back to Katy's house with the umbrella.
'' Dingdong'' Katy's house alarm rang.
The gate opened and Katy was standing there.
''Katy, your umb-'' Kris stopped as Katy wanted to close the door.
He reached out and stopped the gate from closing.
'' Was the dog the reason why you were so late today ? '' Kris questioned.
'' Oh, so that umbrella was yours. '' Katy responded coldly.
'' Here'' Kris handed over the umbrella to Katy.
'' Katy please don't close the door what you saw yesterday is not what you imagined it to be and that girl is just at my house because she is staying at my house due to the H1N1 thing in which she had to be away from her mother and so I hope that we can be back to what we were yesterday and that you can forgive me ! '' Streamed out of Kris mouth in rapid-fire succession, as he was afraid that Katy would close the gate at any moment.
Kris's face turned red.
So did Katy's.
'' Ok. I believe you.'' Katy replied and closed the door.
Taking out his phone, Kris finally knew what to type in .
'' : ) ''
and he clicked ' Sent''.
Kris waited outside Katy's house .
A second later, Kris's phone vibrated and he opened the message with trembling hands.
'' : ) ...''
With that, Kris felt as though a huge burden had suddenly disappeared from his shoulders.
'' Hey Katy ! Shall we go to school together tomorrow? '' Kris shouted at the door, happiness evident in his every note....

Number 1. Ask readers what are they suppose to comment on.
Number 2. You failed to introduce the LOCATION or subject, of which the action or plot took place, which only after guessing and meandering through, found out it is at a swimming pool, which may put off readers.
Number 3. Incredible that the lead actor would step into the wrong toilet/shower room when he is a regular at the pool every tuesday as you mentioned.
Number 4. No comments on the english used, as proof reading is a must should you attempt to publish it or submit it to your teacher if this post is not meant for forums.
Number 5. The page turning attempt is good, thru the mysterious strewn paper.

He picked it up and was horrified to notice that the sign read : Ladies Only, Gents Ahead . Sorry for any inconvience caused ''
About a second later, he knew what he must do, he must wait outside the door for the girl who he thought was a guy and to apologise to her.
And the waiting begins.....
- still not clear enuff ?

erm.the girl apparently didn't notice him in the toilet (or she would have made some noise),so why must he wait for her to come out and apologise?
"As Kris stood alone there, she wondered what would be the reaction of that girwhen she saw him standing beside the door ."
Kris is a guy,right?

Why would someone bring their Drama props (suicide note) to the swimming pool to swim?
Why would there actually be a tree inside the swimming pool complex? Ask any civil engineer for their comments.
If the 'tree' does not want wish for its visitors to be lonely, why is it called the Lone Tree and not the Couple/Love/BGR Tree instead?
Assuming his mum ran a food stall, most food stall owners will tell you the dinner crowd (I assume 8pm, as you mentioned sunset) starts way before 8pm. Anyone who visits the foodcourt/hawker centre can attest to that.

Haha the story is creative enough. The best part I like is that it's not too draggy (you don't have to keep guessing too long), the pace keeps the reader interested. Let's face it, the fact that people bother to read all the way to the end of chapter 2 shows that your story is worth reading - instead of clicking the 'back' button.
I hope your story continues. I also want to know what happens to Katy and Kris.
