salad days

meaning the best times of life.

High school. It's often remembered as our youthful years. The days where we didn't have to worry about anything but examinations. The friends you make there are pillars of support and love. And if you're lucky, you might even get a boyfriend.

Alicia, Jun Wei, Faith and Ethan are a group of friends who have known each other since they were seven. But as we all know, girls and guys rarely stay as friends. So what happens when a particular two fall in love with each other before they can stop themselves?

"Your mom's gonna kill you" Jun says, staring at the plastic bag full of snacks and beverages.

"No she's not" I reply, biting off a piece of chocolate bread.

"You spent $13 on snacks and soya bean packets in one day, what the heck are you gonna eat till Thursday?!?" Jun asks.

"I'm going to fast! Duh. Remember, I'm on a diet!" I say, grinning at him while he rolls his eyes.

"HAH! What diet plan Ali?! Filled with bread, sugar, oil, chips and gassy drinks!" Jun retorts, laughing.

Sassy looks good on him.

"Veggies, fruits and salads ain't on my vocab list hun" I tell him.

"Funny" he says before the both of us burst out laughing.
