Chapter Twenty (11years ago)

CHAPTER TWENTY (11 years - flashback)

>>> Eleven years ago,

"Mark my word, I will be able to talk to that new student," Misty told as she was sitting under the tree with Catrin and Penelope.

"Ha?" Penelope stopped from reading her notes, looked at her friend while Catrin still keeping her eyes to the male student that Misty talking about. Lowell Sy. She was giggling inside.

"Watch me!" Misty stood up and walked onto Lowell, who is now sitting on the other benches fronting to them in the school ground.

Catrin stunned. "Where is she going?" she asked as noticed her friend Misty coming to Lowell.

Penelope rolled her eyes. "She will try to get his attention," she told. "...of your crush,"

"Really?" Catrin uttered as she felt sad and remembered what Misty told them yesterday.

"You, know...I like Lowell!" Misty exclaimed, while combing her hair in the washroom with her friends.

Catrin stopped from brushing her hair and looked at her friend in the mirror. "Lowell? You mean Lowell Sy?" she wanted to get confirmation.

Misty laughed. "Uh-uh!" she happily nodded "I will do my best to have him notice me, promise!" she added.

"Isn't Andrew Sy, the one courting you?" Penelope blurted out, leaning her back on the door.

"Well, I don't like him." Misty harshly said, put a lipbalm to her lips.

"Then, why are you still entertaining him?" Penelope raised her one eyebrow. "You are so mean!"

Misty rolled her eyes instead.

And Catrin just listening to her friends as she feels having low self-esteem again .Misty likes Lowell too? And compared to her, Misty can really get his attention. Not that, she's not beautiful and she's not ugly either. It's just that...she don't have the courage to talk to him. She contented herself watching him from far. Though, there are times in the class...she accidentally met his eyes. And he smiled at her. Her heart wants to explode everytime he smiles at her.

Penelope extended her one arm to Catrin's arm, her way of telling her 'its okay'.

Catrin just smiled at her bestfriend.

"How about you girls? You don't like Lowell? You didn't tell me your crushes!" Misty asked, finally pony her hair.

"I don't have a crush," Penelope replied.

"Me...too," Catrin lied. I can't tell Misty that I like Lowell too.

Misty sighed. "Ladies, this is our last year in highschool. We should atleast enjoy our few months." She told.

Lowell's POV

"Hello," Misty started as she sat beside Lowell.

He looked at the new comer. "Hi," he simply uttered.

"So, how's your stay in our school?" Misty asked.

Lowell Sy is a transferee student though it was already in the half of the school year. It was almost two months already. And they found out that, he is Andrew Sy's cousin. Misty's suitor since first year highschool.

"Ummn, okay." He shortly replied, playing games on his Gameboy.

"I see." She sighed. "I noticed, you're close already to James and the group."
