Part 12 : DejavuShort glimpses of Torrence in class did stir some feelings in me , it did not suffice to set me down that path once more .She was different now , shaped by the company she kept , but her beauty was everlasting .
1 afternoon , as Rayner and I were enjoying our lunch , Xiao Hei sprang out of no where and asked me , " hey did you like Torrence last year ? Oh my god ! If you had told me , I could have helped , or not hahaha ." this was not the first time Xiao Hei was poking fun at me , and his words went by deaf ears . After that childish and utterly meaningless conversasion Rayner suddenly asked . " Hey Sam , lets say if Torrence had a change of heart , would you like her once again ? " .
" No! " came my prompt answer as i walked away to return my plate . A slight sensation of irritation was slowly creeping into me .I 've out that question to myself many times before , and i never had the courage to make a choice .
The following day , I was slacking at Xiao Teng's house . He was my badminton team mate and my classmate . At the climax of our discussion about girls , he suddenly enquired , " Hey Sam , did you know Torrence likes you ? " Was he teasing me too , " Sure she does . sure she does ." I replied with a tone of esperation . " You at the clues man , she's always the 1st to laugh at your the jokes you make in class and she looks at you all the time ! " said Xiao Teng in his defence . " Man how do notice such things , first to laugh , you stalking her eh ? " I joked . A storm was brewing in my heart .
The days passed like water droplets from a tap , with the building curiosity in me almost erupting , I smsed Jacie , " Does Torrence like mi ? " 3 long hours later , the screen on my cell phone read " took you long enough dummy ! " Sweet mother moses , holy shit , oh my god , pipa nige long ding dong ! I couldn't believe it , but i was not wholly convinced yet , i had to hear it from the Lion's mouth .
That night , the first sms sent was " what homework do we have ? " the last sms i received was read " Er .... Yes i do like you :P "
