" If the dream you dream ain't what it seems, Just look into my eyes"

the first year went by just like that, with the both of them chatting almost every night, whether online or by the phone. as the year came to its end, with the exams approaching fast for stella, terry decided not to bother her and let her concentrate on her studies. in the nights that followed, terry felt restless, as though something was missing.

meanwhile, stella tried to study for her exams but she just couldnt concentrate. her relationship with her boyfriend was going through a rough patch. he was stoned and zoned out most of the time and they couldnt really get a decent conversation going. it was as though the flame had died out on this relationship. but she refused to give up on this relationship, clinging on, hoping that her boyfriend will change once the exams are over.

terry, on the other hand, had no exams to study for. so he was left with a lot of free time on his end. he started hanging out with his friends at the local coffeeshop every night to pass away the time. there wasnt much activity at night at the coffeeshop, with the usual old beer drinking old men sitting in their corner with their half empty beer bottles and bag of peanuts. terry and his friends were usually at the other corner, with coffee and cigarette packs, smoking and talking about nothing in particular.
