Chapter 4
Cej's POV
Im excited about our Jingle Contest. It only means another chance to talk to 'her'. Who is she? Well, she's Marie. Recently we have been hanging out a lot because she was really friendly. In fact, she was the first one to make friends with me. She's really sweet. She often exhanges seats with Marianne, my seatmate just to chat with me. Dont get me wrong, i may have liked her but she's not the reason why i love talking to her. I just feel so comfortable with her. She's the only way i could get to know more about my new classmates..and Tiny.
I told her that i have this kind of feeling of admiration for her. She was really supportive about it. She even gave me Tiny's number but i never had the courage to text her first. But last night....
"Hi Christopher! Im sorry to bother you but this is Tiny. Just wanting to tell you that Tricia asked me to say 'hi' to you. :)" This was the most surprising surprise ive ever had. I tried to text back but then realized i was out of load. So, i got no choice but wait for tomorrow.

Classes have just ended but i never got the chance to talk to Tiny.
It's already 6pm and we're all getting ready for our last practice for tomorrow's contest.
"There are many ways for us to be happy and one of that is being healthy..."
There she goes... Singing in front of us while directing our actions and positions. She really looks so perfect.
"Guys, in front, please wear a smile on your face." she said with a frown. Ow, i found that cute. "Let's go again. Now, with the chorus. 1,2,3.."
"You know that you can fly high to the sky. Eat the right food at the right time. Come on and join us..."
"We can be so fit and also healthy. N U T R I T I O N!"
"Okay. Nice one guys. Now those three guys at the back. Take charge of the tarpaulin and poppers by the end of the singing. Ok? " She was referring to Marc, Jone and I. Haiy.. That smile of hers.

We're now all gathered at the canteen making our props and designing our costumes. Then i found her alone at the farthest table... I need to talk to her. If not now, when's my chance?
Approaching.....
2meters away....
And
"oh, cj. Will you pls hand me those tapes?" she said without glancing at me.
I handed them to her. She just smiled.
Talk Cej! Talk...
"So why are you doing all of these alone?" i asked quickly..still feeling a bit conscious.
She smiled saying.." I wouldnt be a loner if youre here to help?"
Oh. I was astonished. She actually looked me in the eyes.
"e-exactly! Im here to help!" i said quickly.
She just smiled and gave me the scissors. She asked me cut out some tape for her.
"About your text last night, i wasnt able to text back because i dont have load."
"Oh. That was nothing. I was just told by Tricia to text you.."
"Actually, she also texted me last night. But it was never a personal msg or something. It was like a quote from someone..maybe an author. Who knows?" did i just sound too defensive?
