Five

The odd couple met again. Eamon and Yong were a mere row away from each other. Neither made a move towards the either, but neither stopped thinking about each other. They both wondered where the tears had come from.

They both feared they might come again. It was a lighter day that day. The sun was bright, yet inside they were bathed in a calming darkness. Shadows danced across there faces at they stole glances from each other. The giants facing them seemed to be having the most awkward situation.

The man had started pounding his chest and humming, while Leonardo Dicaprio watched intensly. After a while Leo decides to join in. That's when the couple sitting down watching, stealing glances get caught.

By each other.

Their eyes meet, in the darkness all that could be seen were two black pin balls staring at another two black pin balls.

Both quickly looked away and never stole glances for the rest of the time. When the movie finished they each followed their group out.

Eamon started hanging out with a couple of kids that lived near him and recognized him at school. They had been very inviting, more so they had to be inviting. In Eamons neighborhood the adults seemed to have the closest relationship possible, they were a family almost. So the kids had that mentality to include the new neighborhood family.

Yong on the other hand only had her family, she didn't get very well with the kids at school. Her older sister had taken the role of close friend out of pity for her baby sibling. It was as if both of them had been placed in pitiful lives. As if they were made up of memories that would lead up to a basic sob story.

Yet they both kept silence as their bestfriend. Holding hands and skipping with silence in the shallows where everyone like them had been deserted.

It was a fated life of coincidences, she wasn't scared neither was he. They both knew that the town had very few places where teenagers hanged out at. They assumed it was normal, when it was all being pushed by their past. All being forced into repetition.

This time they'd ended up in the same table, the two groups had recognized each other and ended up sitting together. Yong's sister was a girl with very attractive features, she'd been someone who attracted the opposite attention of Yong.

Yong repelled the other students while her sister, Lia attracted. Of course Eamon's group had invited Lia and her friends, not Yong, but had no choice but to allow her into the invite.

A sigh escaped Yong's lips before she got up to the restroom, this is what it always felt outside her room. A coldness as if she was alienated from everything that surrounded her. As she got up, she failed to notice Eamon rising and moving her direction. Just a second before their eyes met, they pushed against each other.

Their shoulders having propelled them out of balance. That's when the first memory came, because that's when their hands slightly glided against each other. The memory of the scar.
