story: the meeting

"when your love is strong, and the feeling's never gone, there's nothing wrong to try to realize..."

the nights before the meeting, terry and stella chatted online every night. terry was never one to say anything to anyone easily, but he felt quite comfortable around stella. plus the fact that everything was online and not done face to face.

soon came the day of the meeting. the time was set at 1.30pm at the foodcourt. terry had class that day until 10am in the morning. after class, he played football with his friends at the nearby basketball court in the neighbourhood to pass away the time til the meeting. during the game, another group of students from a nearby secondary school wanted to challenge them. the challenge was accepted and the game started off. the new group was obviously lacking in teamwork as well as technique, and was losing quite badly. terry's friends started to play around with the group and passed the ball around but never attempting to score. the new group knew that they were being toyed with and started to play more physically. finally, one guy, with the frustration getting to him, kicked one of terry's friends quite hard. then it all started. terry and his friends were quickly all over the guy, beating up anyone and everyone in the group. the fight was quite even, for while terry and his friends had the physical edge, the other group had more numbers. but the fight was quickly dispersed when someone shouted police. everyone scrambled for their bags and quickly rushed off the scene, with the wounded being carried.

terry and his friends gathered at the nearby coffeeshop for a breather and to take cover. one of his friends had a black eye and terry himself suffered a bruised knuckle as well as several cuts. then, one of terry's friends reminded him of his 'date' and time. he was late for 5minutes already. his friends told him to go and he rushed off to the foodcourt.

he reached the foodcourt in 10minutes, panting heavily and trying to catch his breath, at the same time looking around for stella. there were 2 groups of the JC students sitting separately. terry wasnt sure which group was stella in. luckily, he recognized one of the girls in one group and went over.

terry: hey.
jane: hey! we've been waiting a long time for you, you know?
terry: huh? oh, sorry about being late. was caught up in uhm, some outside matters...


then one of the girls, with a look of concern, asked:

"what happened, where did you get those cuts?"

terry: uhm, nothing actually. i uh...tripped and fell.
jane: haha, you sure? you must be busy fantasizing about meeting up with her right?


jane pointed to the girl that asked how terry got injured.

terry: eh, what talking you sia...
jane: haha, dont act blur lah... oh my gosh, look at the time! i got to go off meet my boyfriend liao. well see ya guys


after jane had left, terry and stella finally made their introductions. throughout the conversation, stella kept fussing about terry's injuries. but terry brushed them off as nothing serious. they talked about a lot of things; music, movies, friends,etc and it wasnt until the foodcourt vendors started to close shop did they realise what time it was. it was around quite late and terry offered to send stella home. stella accepted...
