school days 3

Emo-ing in process…on with the story.

It was lunch time. People were eating their box lunches, enjoying some time in the sun, or just hanging out with friends. Mike, though, was just looking out from the railing outside his class.

“Oi, Mike!” A boy jumped at Mike, broom in hand. A shocked Mike turned around just in time to parry the blow.

“Hi, Tuck” greeted back a mildly annoyed Mike.

“Hey I didn’t know you get along so well with Miss World,” Tuck ribbed Mike.

“You mean Shi Jie? She was the one who started talking to me.”Mike replied.

“So something has to be up right? Miss World is actually quite popular.” Mike grinned at Mike.

“Really? I thought she was just being noisy.” Mike was nonchalant.

“You have no taste in girls. hai…World is so cute, isn’t she?”

“You mean you like her?”

“Cute girls, I like them all!”

“Whatever.”

“You, Mike! You are being unfair!”

“What did I do? I do not have anything going on with Shi Jie!”

“You can say that now, but soon, you will become an adult and leave me behind…”

“Not with Shie Jie, though”

“Why do you have such charisma?! Am I the only one unattached?! I’ll kill you along with myself!” Tuck took Mike into a headlock and bent threateningly over the railing. It looked as if both of them would have died a terrible death if not for Shi Jie who popped out in front of them.

“Hey, Mike I need to talk to you.”

“Say it now then.”

“But it’s not something I can say now…” Shi Jie said in a deliberate coy voice, putting her hand over her skirt. Tuck smiled at Mike and gave a thumbs up sign.

“You idiot! It’s a misunderstanding! Really!”

“If I say it in front of everybody, I think it will cause embarrassment…” Shi Jie continued in the coy voice.

“Congratulations of your graduation into adulthood!”

“Shut up!!”
