I’LL TRY MY BEST
"Hey! I was quite surprised to see you here." Tan Ja Nin approached Yan Mor Tee as soon as their English class was over.
"What made you convinced Aunt Yia to put you on the elite class?"
"I traded my freedom." He answered.
"You mean, you returned home to the mansion?" Ja Nin eyes has widened in disbelief.
"You're allergic to the mansion right?" She said laughing after she redeemed herself from the initial shock. "Don't tell me you want to be with me?"
"Dream on sis." Ji Nan told his twin sister as he approached them. Ja Nin has a huge crush on Yan Mor Tee. They were childhood playmates since their parents were best of friends. Eventhough Yan Mor Tee was aware of her feelings he did not take advantage of it. In fact he was always cautious not to hurt her because somehow she treated her as his own sister.
Lu Jiaosheng and Lee Jin Ho also joined them.
"Hi Song Dei Si!" Jin Ho greeted her. "Are you about to go home?"
She just nodded and scooped her books and put into her school bag.
"Where do you live?" Jin Ho asked her.
"I live at the suburb area at Heng Shan"
"Where is that?"
"It just five streets away from school."
"Walking distance?"
"Uhm"
"Would you mind if I accompany you home?" Jin Ho nervously asked her.
Yan Mor Tee suddenly fake a cough.
"I have to go to my auntie's house which is quite far from here before I go home."
"I see." Jin Ho said with disappointment. Though Song Dei Si did not bluntly said NO to him, he is dense enough to know that she rejected his offer.
"Bye then."
....
"Hey! Bestfriend!" Min Lin put her arms into Song Dei Si shoulder and saw the excitement in her eyes.
"I saw Jin Ho was talking to you earlier. What did he say?"
"Nothing much"
"Really? But I saw his sad expression earlier? It seems he was quite disappointed but why?"
She shrugged her shoulder and told her "Have no idea."
How could she tell her that she rejected his offer to accompany her home?
"Hey, I have an idea, why dont you befriend him?
She raised her brows with her suggestion.
"If he is already your friend, I can come close near him right?"
"And then"
"If he got to know more about me as a person maybe then he will notice me." She said in a hopeful expression.
She laughed. "You are desperate."
"I'm not."
"You are" she said.
"Please help me. I don't know what to do. He didn't even glance at my direction"
"Why don't you just forget him."
"I can't. He is my first love."
She laughed hard. "Wow, are you serious?"
"Yeah, i think it's no longer a deep crush, it has developed into love" Min Lin said in a serious tone.
She looked at Min Lin and said "Okay, I'll try my best."
