At the assemble area…
Jenny: Okay guys! Listen up! We are going to shop the street! This street is a very famous street in Spain. When you come to Spain, you got to visit this street. It’s a very long and big road. A lot of people are there, so you all got to stay close together and don’t wander around alone!
Kenny: Yap! Jenny is right. And this street has a lot of holders selling different kinds of strange things you never see before. Don’t worry. We’ll give you time to look at each shop.
Apple: Wow! Angel, so many people!
Apple thoughts: Look at her. She looks so happy.
Jason took a glance at Janice: She is so beautiful.
Jennifer: Okay, relax everyone. I know you all are very excited. Don’t worry! We’ll look at each shop slowly.
While walking, Jason was trying to get close to Janice.
Janice: Susan, this necklace is so nice. I think it’s looked good on you.
Susan: No. It’s better on you.
Janice whispered: I felt that Jacky is trying to get close to you.
Susan looked around and saw Jacky. She smiled at Jacky. Jacky smiled back.
Janice: I don’t think I should disturb you two.
Susan: No, Janice. It’s good to be with you.
Jason was walking beside Janice now. He walked so close to her that their hands touched each other. Janice moved away from him.
Susan: Janice, look. These plates are so beautiful.
Janice: Err…Yap. Yes nice patterns.
Susan: Didn’t you learn in History? These plates are from the past, so unique. But of course the original ones are in the museum for exhibitions. These are copied ones. They are so fine. Maybe I should buy some of these.
Janice: Err… I didn’t take History…
Susan didn’t hear what Janice said and continuing examining the plates.
Janice got bored and walked to another shop. This shop sells all kinds of rings. Janice’s eyes browsed through them and stopped at a pair of identical rings. She took them up and examined them. She saw that one ring has a name “Jason” and the other ring “Janice” written on them.
Apple: Hey, Jan. You like this pair of ring too huh? Actually, Angel and I are going to buy these pair of ring but the names on the rings are not our names. The owner of this shop told me that this pair of rings actually has a legend. Want to hear it?
Janice: Yap. Sure.
Apple: Ok here goes. Long time ago, a prince, who lived in a palace, called Jason was in love with another princess in another palace. However, the kings of these two palaces were enemies. They always try to think of ways to conquer each other country. One day, the kings found out that their kids were in love with the enemies’ kid. They were very angry and declared a war. The war took away hundreds of millions of lives. The couples were very sad and decided that they did not want to see the people suffer so they decided to meet at their old place and… they decided to commit suicide. After their deaths, the kings and many people were very sad. The kinds realised their mistake and will not fight anymore. Well, the rings came about is because the prince and the princess made them. They wanted this couple who wear these rings will have a good relationship and will not suffer like them. Too bad, you and Jason are not couples.
Janice blushed and quickly put the rings back.
Apple teased: Jan, why you so anxious unless…
Janice: No!
Apple: Okay. Relax. Just kidding!
Janice walked off with Apple’s laughers behind.
Janice walked and thought…walked and thought…Suddenly, she realised that she lost the group.
Janice thought: Oh…Where are they? Where am I? Just now I walk from there or there? Oh no! I’m lost! What am I supposed to do?
Janice walked around the area and hoping to find her friends again. Suddenly, a hand tapped on her shoulder. It was Jason! She was relieved!
Jason: Are you okay? I saw you walked off the group so I followed you.
Janice embarrassed: Err… I…
Jason’s hand phone rang. It’s was from Kenny.
Kenny: Hey! Son, where have you gone? Is Janice with you?
Jason: Yap. She’s fine with me.
Jason took a look at Janice. Janice looked away.
Jason: Yap. Okay. Sure. I know. Okay. Bye.
Jason kept his cell phone.
Jason: Err… Kenny and the other are going back. So you still want to look or go back now.
Janice: I still want to look around. Would you accompany me?
Jason: Yap. Sure.
Janice and Jason walked along the street when a man walked over and knocked Janice over. Janice lost her balance. Jason quickly grabbed her. Jason fell on a poodle of water hard with Janice on top. Janice quickly got up and held Jason up. Jason was wet all over.
Janice: I’m sorry. Are you okay?
Jason: Don’t worry. I’m fine.
Jason felt pain in his right arm. He held it up and saw blood.
Janice: You are injured.
Janice quickly took out tissue to wipe off the blood from Jason’s arm. She took out a handkerchief to tie over his wound.
Jason: Thanks.
Jason blushed. Janice smiled.
Janice: I should be the one to say thank you. Well, with you so wet walking around is not a good idea. You might get a cold. Let’s go back to the hotel. Err… You know how to go back right?
Jason smiled: Yap.
Jenny: Okay guys! Listen up! We are going to shop the street! This street is a very famous street in Spain. When you come to Spain, you got to visit this street. It’s a very long and big road. A lot of people are there, so you all got to stay close together and don’t wander around alone!

The group was at the beach.
Kenny: Let’s play netball!
Cheers!
Jason and Janice were preparing the charcoal.
Jason: You want to join them? I can do it myself.
Janice: It’s fine with me, unless you don’t want me around.
Jason thoughts: No! I want to be around you all the time!
Jason: Ha. You are not that bad.
Apple: Go Angel!
Janice watched them play.
Kenny: Let’s play netball!
Cheers!
Jason and Janice were preparing the charcoal.
Jason: You want to join them? I can do it myself.
Janice: It’s fine with me, unless you don’t want me around.
Jason thoughts: No! I want to be around you all the time!
Jason: Ha. You are not that bad.
Apple: Go Angel!
Janice watched them play.
Janice: Your hand is okay?
Jason: Yap, should be okay now, not to worry.
Janice: Kenny is such a good organizer and a good speaker as well.
Janice thoughts: Ops. Will he mistake me that I like Kenny?
Janice: I mean Jenny is good as well.
Jason: Yap. He is good at these things.
Jason thoughts: I think Janice likes Kenny.
All of them came back as they were hungry and tired.
Apple: Is the food ready? I’m starving.
Janice: Here. I just finished BBQ this chicken wing. Would you like to have it?
Janice held the chicken wing to Apple.
Angel: No, Jan. I will do it for Apple. He gave her a wink.
Apple: Okay. Although I’m starved, I will try my boyfriend’s hand cook chicken wing.
Janice: Jennifer, you want it?
Jenny: No. Thanks.
Apple: Jennifer is on diet.
Susan: Huh? She’s already has a good figure.
Kenny: Jan, they don’t want the chicken; I will help you eat it.
Janice: Okay, here you go.
Kenny: Thank You.
Jason thoughts: Yap. Kenny likes Janice and Kenny likes Janice. Sigh. No hope.
Apple: Hurry up, Angel. I’m going to die of starvation. Sigh. Okay. I’m going to take some drinks. Who want?
She came back with cups and handed each a cup and then pour coke into the cup.
Angel: Here you go, Apple.
Apple: Finally. Delicious!
Jason smiled.
Jason: Who want chicken wing?
He turned to Jennifer.
Jason: Here. Have this. It will not put you any weight.
Jennifer took the chicken from Jason.
Jennifer: Thanks.
Jennifer was pleased.
The guys had a lot of fun, joy and laughers at the beach.
Kenny: Guys! It’s getting late now. Got to pack up!
In Jennifer and Kenny’s room…
Jenny: Are you prepared for tomorrow activities?
Kenny: Of course. These things are small tasks to me.

Jacky: Actually, Susan. I like you very much.
Susan thoughts: Oh my god? Is that true? Did I hear wrongly?
Jacky: Susan? I really like you from long time ago but I don’t dare to tell you.
Susan: Actually I also like you.
Jacky was shocked or rather overjoyed.
Jacky: Really?
Susan: Yes.
In Apple and Angel’s room…
Apple: Angel. I am so happy today!
Angel: Yap I know. I feel it. I’m also very happy!
Apple: Thanks, Angel for everything.
She kissed Angel on his lips. Angel returned the kiss.
In Jason and Janice’s room…
Janice thoughts: Oh my god. I simply hope that night didn’t come that fast.
Jason: I’ll be sleeping on the sofa.
Janice: But…
Jason: But what? I’m a man you know. I can’t let a lady sleep on the sofa.

In Jason and Janice’s room…
Janice woke up early and ready.
Jason woke up.
Janice: Good morning!
Jason: Good morning…
Janice: Are you okay? You looked pale.
Jason: Yap. I think so.
Jason felt giddy and fell onto the ground. Janice quickly went to hold Jason up. She used all her strength to pull Jason to the bed. She touched his forehead.
Janice thought: Oh my god! He is running a fever.
She ran to the bathroom and took a wet towel and put it on his forehead.
Janice: Jason, are you all right?
She remembered that she bought some medicine.
Janice: Jason, have this. It will bring down your temperature.
Jason consumed the medicine.
Janice: I’m sorry. It’s my entire fault that you are having this fever.
Jason: It’s not your fault.
Janice: Yes. It’s my fault. If I stay with the group yesterday, you would be coming to look for me and you will not fall into the big puddle of water and you will not injure and you will not get sick! It’s entirely my fault. I’m so sorry.
Jason smiles: It’s not your fault. I drank too much yesterday. Don’t blame yourself, okay?
Janice nodded her head. The doorbell rang. Janice went to answer the door.
Apple: Hello! Good morning!
Janice: Hello!
Apple: Are you all right?
Janice: Nothing.
Apple: Hurry! You all are going to be late!
Janice: Jason is ill. I got to take care of him.
Apple: Oh, is he okay? Is everything okay? So I tell them that you and Jason will not be coming with us.
Janice: Yap, everything is fine. Thanks, Apple.
Apple: Welcome. I got to go. Bye!
Janice: OK. Have fun! Bye.
Apple: Guys. Janice and Jason are not going. ‘Cause Jason is sick and Janice is staying back to take care of him.
Jenny: What? Jason is sick? I go up and take a look.
Kenny: No. The bus is coming soon. I’m sure Jason is going to be fine. Don’t worry. Let’s us have fun!
Angel: Yeah! Come on cheer up!
In Jason and Janice’s room…
Janice woke up early and ready.
Jason woke up.
Janice: Good morning!

Angel: Yeah! Come on cheer up!
In the room, Jason fell asleep.
Janice took the towel off Jason’s forehead and made it wet again. She placed the towel on his forehead again. She called for the food service.
After two hours, the food came and just nice, Jason woke up.
Janice: Oh you are awake. How are you feeling?
Jason sat up in the bed. He felt his head.
Jason: I think I’m feeling alright.
Janice: Come have some porridge.
She felt Jason’s forehead. The temperature has gone done a little.
Jason went back to rest after eating the porridge.
A morning past…
Someone knocked on the door; Janice went to answer the door.
Rachel: SURPRISE!
Jan: Rachel!
They hugged each other.
Jan: How come you are here?
Rachel: Surprise is it?
Jan: Yap. It’s a great surprise!
Rachel: Wait. I also bring somebody.
She called: Come out now!
Pauline and Madeline came out: Hello! Janice, long time didn’t see!
Janice: Pauline! Mad!
They hugged.
Janice: How come you all here? You all know each other?
Pauline: Come out and we’ll tell you the long story.
Janice: Can’t. Jason is sick and it’s my entire fault. I have to take care of him.
Rachel: Come on. It’s only a while.
Janice: Okay. I think it will be all right.
Janice left a note for Jason.
They went into a café and ordered a cup of coffee each.
Rachel: So how is your trip?
Jan: Quite good. Okay. You can tell me your LONG story now.
Madeline, Pauline and Rachel laughed.
Mad: Okay.
Mad: After we graduated from secondary school. Pauline and I went to the same Junior college.
Pauline: Yap. We met Rachel there and become good friends.
Rachel: Yap. Then we talked about our secondary school life and our friends.
Pauline: Mad and I always talked about you.
Mad: We had lots of fun together.
Rachel: Yap. Sigh. Unfortunately, two years fast. We are separated and graduated from Junior College.
Pauline: Mad and I went overseas to study.
Rachel: They always wanted to be a doctor.
Pauline: It’s cool! Don’t you think so?
Mad: Yap! I can help people. Treat the sick people into healthy one. It’s such a wonderful job.
Rachel: They went overseas while I go to National University of Singapore and met you, Janice.
Pauline: While Mad and I were overseas, we still keep in touch with Rachel.
Mad: We talked about our life in our University.
Rachel: Until recently, I sent photos to them. Coincidentally, we know the same person and that person is you, Jan.
Pauline: Then we decided to come and find you.
Mad: That’s the end of our story.
Jan: So you two finished your studies?
Pauline: Yap. And we are going to be trained in local hospitals soon for three years.
Mad: We are so excited. So how is your Junior College life?
Jan: Okay.
Pauline: Have any boyfriend?
Rachel: Yap. She told me she had one.
Jan: But we broke up when I went to University.
Pauline: Then you have a new one. Oh, it’s not actually old.
Pauline looked at Jan suspiciously.
Rachel: Pauline, why are you looking at Jan like that? Is something Mad and I do not know about it?
Mad: What is it about?
Pauline: Oh.
Jan: Pauline!
Pauline: Jan is angry. I better don’t say.
Rachel: Jan will not be angry. Come on say it.
Pauline: She likes Jason.
Mad: Oh. No wonder you say it’s not actually new. I remembered. Jason was same secondary school as us and he was our senior, two years older.
Rachel: That’s not fair Jan. You told Pauline and didn’t tell me! Some more Jason is taking the same course as ours.
Jan: But that’s the past already.
Pauline: Oh really? Seem to me that you still care about him. You looked so worried when Jason is ill.
Mad: Come on. Don’t tease Janice.
Rachel: Where are the others?
Jan: They went out already in the morning.
Pauline: Why you and Jason in the same room? You and Jason are couples is it?
Jan: Of course not! It’s by drawing lots.
Mad: Pauline. Stop fooling again. It’s not funny.
Pauline: She laughed. Okay.
Jan: So do you meet any guy overseas?
Mad: None.
Pauline: Me neither. But someone is wooing after Mad.
Mad: Hey! Stop it!
Jan: Is it? Who that?
Pauline: He is the richest, most handsome and most popular guy in the state.
Mad: So what?
Pauline: Too bad. Mad doesn’t like him.
Mad: He is not my type, okay.
Jan: Mad, you still thinking about him?
Pauline and Rachel: Who?
Jan: He is also same secondary school as ours, also Jason’s friend.
Rachel: Mad is it really true?
Mad: Yap. But I don’t know. I can’t forget him.
Pauline: Hey! Not fair! You told Jan and didn’t tell me! You are so bad Madeline!
Mad: I didn’t tell her. She actually notices that I always keep looking at Brooklyn.
Pauline: Oh Brooklyn. He’s a popular and cool guy at that time.
Jan: You know him?
Pauline: Of course. He, Jason, Edison and Christopher are the most popular guys in the school in our secondary school times. All the girls in our class are crazy over them, including you two.
Rachel laughed.
Rachel: Pauline. How about you?
Pauline: Me? To me guys are jerks.
Jan: Yap right. It’s because you haven’t meet your Prince Charming yet.
Pauline: Yap. As if I would. He would never appear as he has been knocked down by a car already. How about you Rachel?
Rachel: Me? I haven’t met the right guy.
Pauline: Oh so sad.
Jan: Don’t worry. You will meet one soon.
Rachel: I hope.
Janice took the towel off Jason’s forehead and made it wet again. She placed the towel on his forehead again. She called for the food service.

Mad: Pauline. Stop fooling again. It’s not funny.
Pauline: She laughed. Okay.
Jan: So do you meet any guy overseas?
Mad: None.
Pauline: Me neither. But someone is wooing after Mad.
Mad: Hey! Stop it!
Jan: Is it? Who that?
Pauline: He is the richest, most handsome and most popular guy in the state.
Mad: So what?
Pauline: Too bad. Mad doesn’t like him.
Mad: He is not my type, okay.
Jan: Mad, you still thinking about him?
Pauline and Rachel: Who?
Jan: He is also same secondary school as ours, also Jason’s friend.
Rachel: Mad is it really true?
Mad: Yap. But I don’t know. I can’t forget him.
Pauline: Hey! Not fair! You told Jan and didn’t tell me! You are so bad Madeline!
Mad: I didn’t tell her. She actually notices that I always keep looking at Brooklyn.
Pauline: Oh Brooklyn. He’s a popular and cool guy at that time.
Jan: You know him?
Pauline: Of course. He, Jason, Edison and Christopher are the most popular guys in the school in our secondary school times. All the girls in our class are crazy over them, including you two.
Rachel laughed.
Rachel: Pauline. How about you?
Pauline: Me? To me guys are jerks.
Jan: Yap right. It’s because you haven’t meet your Prince Charming yet.
Pauline: Yap. As if I would. He would never appear as he has been knocked down by a car already. How about you Rachel?
Rachel: Me? I haven’t met the right guy.
Pauline: Oh so sad.
Jan: Don’t worry. You will meet one soon.
Rachel: I hope.
Kenny and the others came back. They met Janice and the others.
Apple: Rachel! How come you here?
Rachel: Hey! Not good is it?
Apple: No. I’m just surprise. And they are your friends?
They introduced each other.
Jennifer suddenly asked: Jan, how come you here? You should be in the room and take care of Jason! He is sick you know.
Before Janice could say anything, she stormed upstairs. Janice followed.
Apple: Rachel! How come you here?
Rachel: Hey! Not good is it?
Apple: No. I’m just surprise. And they are your friends?
They introduced each other.
Jennifer suddenly asked: Jan, how come you here? You should be in the room and take care of Jason! He is sick you know.
Before Janice could say anything, she stormed upstairs. Janice followed.
At night, in Janice’s room:
Janice: They are going pub at night. Do you want to go?
Jason: Do you want to go?
Janice: Hey! I’m asking you. If you go, then I go because I got to take care of you. It is my responsible that you are sick.
Jason: I told you. It’s not your fault. Anyway, I want to join in the fun. Aren’t you excited that your friends are here.
Janice: Yap. Sorry about what happened in the afternoon.
Jason: Don’t worry. Jenny is always like that.
Janice: They are going pub at night. Do you want to go?
Jason: Do you want to go?
Janice: Hey! I’m asking you. If you go, then I go because I got to take care of you. It is my responsible that you are sick.
Jason: I told you. It’s not your fault. Anyway, I want to join in the fun. Aren’t you excited that your friends are here.
Janice: Yap. Sorry about what happened in the afternoon.
Jason: Don’t worry. Jenny is always like that.
At night, they went to the pub.
Male 1: Hey guys look over there.
Male 2: Where?
Male1: The large group over there!
Male3: Look!
Male 1 and 2: What?
Male3: In the group. Jason!
Male 2: Yap. It’s really Jason. Let’s go find him. Then we can go near the girls.
Male1: Hi Jason!
Jason looked up and was surprised.
Male 1: Hey guys look over there.
Male 2: Where?
Male1: The large group over there!
Male3: Look!
Male 1 and 2: What?
Male3: In the group. Jason!
Male 2: Yap. It’s really Jason. Let’s go find him. Then we can go near the girls.
Male1: Hi Jason!
Jason looked up and was surprised.
Jason: Hey! Long time no see.
Kenny: Son, your friend is it?
Jason: Yap. They are my secondary buddies.
Angel: Introduce please.
Jason: They are Brooklyn, Edison and Christopher. Brook, Ed and Christ, they are my University friends- Kenny, Jenny, Angel, Apple, Susan, Jacky and Rachel. The rest are same secondary school from ours- Janice, Pauline and Madeline.
Edison: Son, you so clever. First is going Junior College Then University. Brook, Christ and I thought you couldn’t survive long in Junior College.
Kenny: Hey comes on. Jason is the ace scorer in our school.
Edison: Really? In secondary one and two, he scored very badly. He always ended up last in our class.
Jason blushed.
Brooklyn: But almost us, he is the coolest and has characters. No wonder he is well-liked by many girls.
Rachel whispered to Janice: Is he that Brooklyn that Mad like?
Janice nodded her head.
Rachel turned to talk to Madeline.
Rachel: Mad, you and Brooklyn are fated together. See you all meet here. When you are secondary two, you still young but now, you must grab the change.
Mad: Shut up. (Mad whispered.)
Brooklyn eyes caught Madeline. Madeline turned away.
Edison whispered to Brooklyn: You like that girl? Err… What is her name? Oh man, I forgot.
Brooklyn: Madeline. (Brook whispered back.)
Edison: Oh yeah. I remembered.
Kenny: Son, is that true? You did badly in secondary one and two? Oh gosh, I can’t believe it.
Jason: Whatever.
He glanced at Janice. Janice was looking nowhere.
Jason thought: Oh man. What will she think of me-A dummy?
Jenny thoughts: Why Jason is looking at Janice? He likes her?
Brooklyn: Madeline, Janice and Pauline are you all from the same class when you all in secondary school?
Rachel whispered to Mad: Here your chance. Reply him.
Mad: Yeah. We are from the same class all four years…
Brooklyn: And that is from the first class all the years.
Mad nodded her head.
The conversation continued among the group.
Rachel: Excuse me.
Rachel walked off to the washroom.
Edison: Excuse me too.
Edison walked towards the male washroom that is just beside the female’s washroom.
Madeline, Janice and Pauline chatted among themselves.
Brooklyn went over to sit next to Madeline.
Brooklyn: Hi.
Madeline: Hi.
Pauline whispered to Janice: You think we should leave? I want to go out and catch some air. (The pub is filled with cigarette smoke.)
Janice whispered to Madeline: Mad, Pauline and I want to go out for a while. Have a nice chat with Brooklyn.
Madeline: I’ll go with you.
Pauline insisted: No, you stay. Jan will accompany me.
Janice smiled to Madeline then to Brooklyn, and then she walked off.
Pauline: See you guys later!
Kenny: Son, your friend is it?

Janice smiled to Madeline then to Brooklyn, and then she walked off.
Pauline: See you guys later!
When Janice and Pauline were outside of the Pub,
Janice: Sigh.
Pauline: What has happened? Why are you so sad?
Janice: Are we doing the right thing?
Pauline: What do you mean by that?
Janice: I mean Brooklyn and Madeline. Is Brooklyn the right guy for Mad? I mean…I don’t know.
Pauline: Jan, don’t worry so much. Mad loves Brooklyn so much. They fated to meet each other, don’t you think so? Things will turn out just fine.
Jan (Sigh again): Hopefully I guess.
Pauline: Jan, I think you should worry about Jason.
Janice: Jason? What happened to him?
Jason suddenly appeared.
Jason: Hi! Do I interrupt your conversation?
Janice was taken aback.
Pauline: No. I’m going in soon. Bye!
Jason: So how’s your conversation with your friend, Pauline?
Janice: Very good, until you broke it.
Jason: Oh, Err…
Janice: (Giggled) Relax. I was just pulling your leg.
Jason: (Blushed) Oh. Okay.
Janice: So, how are you feeling?
Jason: Okay I guess.
Janice: Do you feel dizzy or something?
Jason: No. I’m fine.
Janice: Later, you better avoid cold drinks especially alcohols.
Jason: Yes, Madam.
Janice: (Giggled) How about your friends? Do you feel happy? Surprised? That you all will meet here?
Jason: Okay, I guess. (He sighed) Among the three of them, Brooklyn was the closest to me. He understood me, how I felt. I told him…
Jason was about to tell Janice that he told Brooklyn almost everything including the girl he likes, suddenly, a cyclist out of nowhere drove past and accidentally knocked into Janice. Janice lost her balance.
Jason: Be careful!
Janice: Sigh.
Pauline: What has happened? Why are you so sad?
Janice: Are we doing the right thing?
Pauline: What do you mean by that?
Janice: I mean Brooklyn and Madeline. Is Brooklyn the right guy for Mad? I mean…I don’t know.
Pauline: Jan, don’t worry so much. Mad loves Brooklyn so much. They fated to meet each other, don’t you think so? Things will turn out just fine.

Jason was about to tell Janice that he told Brooklyn almost everything including the girl he likes, suddenly, a cyclist out of nowhere drove past and accidentally knocked into Janice. Janice lost her balance.
Jason: Be careful!
Jason went over and caught hold of her. Janice was turned aback.
Jason: Are you okay?
Janice: Yap. What are you saying just now about Brooklyn?
Jason: Oh. I have finished talking. Now it’s your turn.
Janice: Oh… Okay. Err… The three of them- Mad, Rachel and Pauline, I wouldn’t say quite close to whom. Recently, I quite close to Rachel as we are in the same University. That's why. As you know, Pauline, Mad and I are same secondary school then we went to different junior colleges. Both of them went to the same college. I lost contact with them. The fun part is that Rachel knew them too.
Jason: Are you okay?
Janice: Yap. What are you saying just now about Brooklyn?
Jason: Oh. I have finished talking. Now it’s your turn.
Janice: Oh… Okay. Err… The three of them- Mad, Rachel and Pauline, I wouldn’t say quite close to whom. Recently, I quite close to Rachel as we are in the same University. That's why. As you know, Pauline, Mad and I are same secondary school then we went to different junior colleges. Both of them went to the same college. I lost contact with them. The fun part is that Rachel knew them too.
After Pauline entered the pub again, she accidentally knocked into Christopher.
Pauline: Ops! I’m so sorry. She looked up.
Pauline: Oh! It’s you. I’m really sorry knocking into you.
Christ: (Smiled.) It is okay.
Pauline: So are you alone? Do you want to have a drink together?
Christ: Sure. Why not?
They found two seats and ordered two glasses of drinks.
Christ: So, after you left secondary school, you went to Junior College right?
Pauline thought: Lame. School again.
Pauline: Yap. Then I went overseas to study medical, as I always wanted to be a doctor. I’m going to become a doctor in training soon!
Christ: Oh. That’s cool!
Pauline: Yea. I always think it is a great profession. How about you? Why do you three came to Spain?
Christ: Do you want to have a dance?
Pauline: Sure.
Pauline thought: Is he trying to avoid my question?
They went to the dancing board. It was playing a fast song now. Everyone was dancing wildly.
Christ: Hey! You dance so well!
Pauline: Thanks!
Christ: You learnt dancing before?
Pauline: Yap, a little.
Christ: No wonder so good.
Pauline: Oh really? Thanks.
Christ: Welcome.
Later, the music stopped. Then it played again in a much slower pace.
Christ: May I? (Chris held his left hand to Pauline.)
Pauline: (giggled.) Yes, you may.
Christ put his right hand on Pauline’s waist while Pauline put her left hand on his shoulder. After five minutes, Pauline became bored.
Pauline: I want to stop now. I’m very tired.
Christ: Oh. Okay.
They went back to their seat and continued chatting.
Pauline: So, you haven’t answered my question. Why you came to Spain?
Christ: Oh. Brook, Ed and I are setting up business here.
Pauline: Oh I see. What you all intend to sell?
Christ: As I’m not studying business and I’m not interested so I leave these to Brook and Ed. Both of them are studying business and account while I studied fashion and design in Polytechnic. Now that we graduated, we are thinking of setting up business and here is a good place to start.
Pauline: Oh I see. That’s really great.
Pauline: Ops! I’m so sorry. She looked up.
Pauline: Oh! It’s you. I’m really sorry knocking into you.
Christ: (Smiled.) It is okay.
Pauline: So are you alone? Do you want to have a drink together?
Christ: Sure. Why not?
They found two seats and ordered two glasses of drinks.

Pauline: Oh I see. That’s really great.
When Rachel came out of the ladies, Edison was waiting outside.
Rachel: Oh hi Edison. Going to the male washroom?
Edison: Yap. Just came out.
Rachel: Oh okay.
Edison: You’re cute. He said shyly.
Rachel: (turned aback.) Are you kidding me?
Edison and Rachel laughed.
Edison: Do you have a boyfriend?
Rachel: You guess.
Edison: Err… You are such a pretty lady. I’m sure you have a boyfriend. Am I right?
Rachel: (Laughed. Rachel felt pleased with the praising.) No. You guessed wrongly.
Edison: I think the guys around you are blind.
Rachel: (Laughed) Yap, right.
Edison: Do you have a boyfriend before?
Rachel: Yes. In my secondary school life, I once had a boyfriend but it didn’t work out. Then in Junior College, I also had a boyfriend but we didn’t work out either. How about you? Do you have a girlfriend?
Edison: You guess.
Rachel: Err… I don’t know. I’m not good in guessing.
Edison: I don’t have any girlfriend.
Rachel (Shocked): Are you kidding me? I mean Jason and you are the same kind. You are so cool and handsome, that type that every girl will fall in love with.
Edison: (Serious looking.) Including you?
Rachel: (Joke.) If you ask me out, I will be totally happy. (Laugh)
Edison: (Serious) I really admired you a lot from the first sight I saw you. You are different from any other girls I saw. You’re unique. To tell you the truth, I really like you a lot.
Rachel: (Dumb, shocked, taken aback, surprised) Do you talk to every girl whom you first met like that?
Edison: (Serious) No is just that I like to do things quick. I hate to wait. When I see someone I love, I will say it. I hate to keep it and I wanted to her how I felt. If she doesn’t like me, I can still keep on looking again. I’m unlike Jason…
Rachel: What happened to Jason?
Edison: Jason likes Janice. But he doesn’t say it. He makes us so angry.
Rachel: What? Jason likes Janice? Are you sure?
Edison: Yea. I mean everyone can see it but he doesn’t know. He just told Brook. That’s not fair right? He doesn’t treat Christ and me as buddy. He makes me so angry sometimes.
Rachel: Hey! It’s not that. Sometimes, you’ll feel better telling to one person but not the other. It’s hard to explain feelings sometimes you know. Hope everything will work out just fine.
Edison: Yea. I hope so. Do you want to have a date with me?
Rachel: Oh hi Edison. Going to the male washroom?
Edison: Yap. Just came out.
Rachel: Oh okay.
Edison: You’re cute. He said shyly.
Rachel: (turned aback.) Are you kidding me?
Edison and Rachel laughed.
Edison: Do you have a boyfriend?
Rachel: You guess.
Edison: Err… You are such a pretty lady. I’m sure you have a boyfriend. Am I right?

Rachel: Hey! It’s not that. Sometimes, you’ll feel better telling to one person but not the other. It’s hard to explain feelings sometimes you know. Hope everything will work out just fine.
Edison: Yea. I hope so. Do you want to have a date with me?
After Jason went off, Jennifer felt uneasy not seeing Jason.
Jenny: Hey guys! Have a nice chat among yourselves.
So she went off.
After a moment, Apple spoke up.
Apple: Hey! Angel and I want to have a private conversation between us. Enjoy yourselves.
Angel and Apple walked off hand in hand.
A moment later, Jacky whispered to Susan.
Jacky: I have something to show you. Do you want to go somewhere else to talk?
Susan: Okay.
Jacky: Guys, Susan and me go somewhere else.
They left together.
After a moment of silence, Kenny felt awkward with two people he just knew.
Kenny: Err… Guys, I want to have some drinks. Enjoy!
Kenny went off alone.
Brooklyn: So now left the two of us.
Madeline: Yap.
Brooklyn: Hope you would not get bored with me and left too.
Madeline: (Laughed) No, I wouldn’t.
Brooklyn: Great. Even if I ask so many questions that will make you feel mad?
Madeline: Are you making fun of my name?
Brooklyn: No. I’m sorry.
Madeline: Don’t worry. I’m just kidding with you.
Brooklyn: Lucky. I thought you mad or something.
Madeline: There you go again.
Brooklyn: Okay. I won’t play already. So you’re a doctor right?
Madeline: No. Not yet. I’m still a trainee.
Brooklyn: Well, you will become one sooner or later. I have confidence in you.
Madeline: (Feeling happy) Are you sure? Thanks! So you have finished National Service?
Brooklyn: Yeah.
Madeline: So what are you doing now?
Brooklyn: Well, after I finished NS, Ed, Christ and I had set up a business. We are finding a place here to expand our business.
Madeline: So have you found it?
Brooklyn: Yeah.
Jenny: Hey guys! Have a nice chat among yourselves.
So she went off.
After a moment, Apple spoke up.
Apple: Hey! Angel and I want to have a private conversation between us. Enjoy yourselves.
Angel and Apple walked off hand in hand.
A moment later, Jacky whispered to Susan.
Jacky: I have something to show you. Do you want to go somewhere else to talk?

Madeline: (Laughed) No, I wouldn’t.

Madeline: Are you making fun of my name?
Brooklyn: No. I’m sorry.

Brooklyn: Well, after I finished NS, Ed, Christ and I had set up a business. We are finding a place here to expand our business.
Madeline: So have you found it?
Brooklyn: Yeah.
Jacky and Susan found two empty seats and sat down.
Susan: So what is it you want to show me?
Jacky took out something from his pocket. He opened the box. Inside, it contained two watches. They are couple watches.
Jacky: I bought these watches this morning. Well, you know, while we are visiting places of interests. I walked past this shop and saw these two watches. So I bought them.
Susan listened patiently. Jacky took a deep breath.
Jacky: (becoming anxious) I just wanted to say. Will you become my girlfriend?
Silence…
Jacky: I… I… I mean…
Susan: Yes, I will.
Jacky: (Delighted) Really?
Susan smiled.
Susan: So the watch is for me? Can you help me to put it on?
Jacky: Sure.
After Jenny left the table, she went to look for Jason. She found Jason was with Janice outside the pub. She overheard their conversation.
Jason: Wow! That’s really interesting. That means Rachel, Pauline, Madeline and you have some kind of bond or something. You four are fated together so you must treasure their friendship.
Janice: Yes, sir.
Jason and Janice: (Laughed)
Janice thought: Oh my god. He looks so cute when he laughs.
Janice: That means you, Brooklyn, Christopher and Edison are also fated to be together too since you four meet here, in this pub. So you must treasure their friendship too.
Jason: Hey! You copied my words. It is copyright you know!
They both laughed again.
Susan: So what is it you want to show me?
Jacky took out something from his pocket. He opened the box. Inside, it contained two watches. They are couple watches.
Jacky: I bought these watches this morning. Well, you know, while we are visiting places of interests. I walked past this shop and saw these two watches. So I bought them.
Susan listened patiently. Jacky took a deep breath.
Jacky: (becoming anxious) I just wanted to say. Will you become my girlfriend?
Silence…
Jacky: I… I… I mean…
Susan: Yes, I will.
Jacky: (Delighted) Really?
Susan smiled.
Susan: So the watch is for me? Can you help me to put it on?
Jacky: Sure.

Janice: That means you, Brooklyn, Christopher and Edison are also fated to be together too since you four meet here, in this pub. So you must treasure their friendship too.
Jason: Hey! You copied my words. It is copyright you know!
They both laughed again.
Jenny was heartbroken. She went into the pub again. She ordered a bottle of alcoholic drink. She kept drinking until Kenny spotted her and stopped her from drinking.
Kenny: Stop drinking! What happened to you?
Jenny: Don’t care about me. (Taking the bottle to her mouth)
Kenny: (Prevented her once again.) Who want to care about you! Look at you! Not the Jenny I know! I thought you are always strong no matter what happened?
Jenny: When you see your love one with another girl would you still strong? Wouldn’t you be sad about it? Won’t you react the same as me too, isn’t it right?
Kenny: No! I won’t! I won’t be like you! Drinking alcohol will not help you forget him. It will make you suffer more!
Jenny: (Laughed.) That is so funny. Is it your problem that I suffered? It’s none of your business!
Kenny: Hey! I treat you as friend so I care about you okay. I don’t want to see you in pain! By the way, who is the lucky guy? Jason?
Silence…
Kenny: Silence means that the lucky guy is Jason.
Jenny: Who say I like him!
Kenny: Okay don’t be so angry. Have you tell him your feeling?
Silence again…
Kenny: No, right? Then why you sit for? Drinking will not help you to solve the problem. Go and tell him how you feel. Or are you scared? Are you a coward?
Jenny: Don’t you dare to insult me! You are a coward yourself. I know you like Janice but you dare not tell her right? It looks like we are on the same boat.
Kenny: Hey! It’s not that I dare not tell her. It’s just that I’m waiting for the right time to tell her.
Jenny: You think she will like you? You are just a playboy. She is very happy chatting with Jason now!
Kenny: What? You mean Jason and Janice? That’s impossible. I don’t believe you.
Jenny: Don’t believe go see for yourselves.
Kenny: Come I take you back to hotel first before you say anything wrong.
Jenny: No! I’m not going back! I still haven’t drink enough.
Kenny pulled her out of the seat although Jenny insisted on staying.
Jenny: No! I haven’t had enough! I still want…
Kenny: Stop drinking! What happened to you?
Jenny: Don’t care about me. (Taking the bottle to her mouth)
Kenny: (Prevented her once again.) Who want to care about you! Look at you! Not the Jenny I know! I thought you are always strong no matter what happened?
Jenny: When you see your love one with another girl would you still strong? Wouldn’t you be sad about it? Won’t you react the same as me too, isn’t it right?
Kenny: No! I won’t! I won’t be like you! Drinking alcohol will not help you forget him. It will make you suffer more!
Jenny: (Laughed.) That is so funny. Is it your problem that I suffered? It’s none of your business!
Kenny: Hey! I treat you as friend so I care about you okay. I don’t want to see you in pain! By the way, who is the lucky guy? Jason?
Silence…
Kenny: Silence means that the lucky guy is Jason.
Jenny: Who say I like him!
Kenny: Okay don’t be so angry. Have you tell him your feeling?
Silence again…
Kenny: No, right? Then why you sit for? Drinking will not help you to solve the problem. Go and tell him how you feel. Or are you scared? Are you a coward?
Jenny: Don’t you dare to insult me! You are a coward yourself. I know you like Janice but you dare not tell her right? It looks like we are on the same boat.
Kenny: Hey! It’s not that I dare not tell her. It’s just that I’m waiting for the right time to tell her.
Jenny: You think she will like you? You are just a playboy. She is very happy chatting with Jason now!
Kenny: What? You mean Jason and Janice? That’s impossible. I don’t believe you.
Jenny: Don’t believe go see for yourselves.
Kenny: Come I take you back to hotel first before you say anything wrong.
Jenny: No! I’m not going back! I still haven’t drink enough.
Kenny pulled her out of the seat although Jenny insisted on staying.
Jenny: No! I haven’t had enough! I still want…
When they reached outside the pub, Kenny saw with his own eyes that Jason and Janice were chatting happily. Both of them saw Kenny and Jenny came out.
Janice: What happened to Jenny?
Kenny: She’s fine. She just drinks a little. I’m bringing her back to the hotel.
Jason: Okay. Be careful.
Kenny: Yes, I will.
Jason: Do you want to go in and find them now?
Janice: Sure.
They went inside the pub and saw Christopher with Pauline.
Pauline: Hey!
Pauline thought: Lucky, I do not have to be alone with this boring guy any longer.
Pauline whispered to Janice: So how is the chat with Jason?
Janice replied: You still dare to say! If not wasn’t for you, I won’t be alone with him.
Pauline: But you two had a nice chat right?
Janice nodded.
Pauline: That means I had done a good deed.
Later, Angel and Apple came. Followed by Jacky and Susan.
Edison: Are we going to stand outside the washroom forever?
Rachel: (Laughed) No, I hope not. Let’s go find them.
Edison: Sure.
They went off and found Jason and the others.
Rachel: Hi!
Jason: Have you seen Mad and Brooklyn?
Edison: No. We haven’t seen them.
Pauline: Don’t worry. They are probably having a great conversation. Let’s wait for a while.
Brooklyn: We chatted for so long and our drinks are finishing. They still haven’t come back.
Madeline: I think we should go and look for them.
Brooklyn: Yea.
They went off.
Pauline: Look! Madeline and Brooklyn are over there.
She waved to them.
Pauline: Over here! Over here!
Brooklyn and Madeline took notice of Pauline waving and walked towards them.
Pauline: Hello Mad. Hello Brook.
Madeline and Brooklyn: Having a nice chat?
They both blushed.
Jason: Okay. Looks like all the people are here. We can go now.
Rachel: But where’s Kenny and Jenny?
Janice: They went back to the hotel already.
Jason: Yap. By the way, Brooklyn, which hotel you three are staying?
Rachel: They are staying in the same hotel as you. Mad, Paul and I also stay the same hotel as you.
They back to the hotel and got their room keys and said good night to each other and went back to their respective rooms.
Apple jumped onto the bed and shouted: Wow! Tired but happy day! I met so many people a day. A pretty interesting day don't you think Angel?
Angel: Yap. Good to make a lot of friends.
Apple: Don't you feel something weird about. Well, I don't know...Their relationships?
Angel: Whose? What relationship?
Apple: I mean their relationships are so complicated. Sigh.
Angel: People say girls who are in LOVE are dumber.
Apple: Hey! What are you implying?!
Angel: Okay. Don't get angry. I'll always like you even if you are a dummy.
Apple went over to hit him but Angel hugged her and prevented her and kissed her. Apple was rejecting at first but accepted in the end.
Angel: I love you.
Apple: Me too.
Jacky: Do you like the watch that I gave it to you?
Susan: Yap. I like it very much! Thank you.
Jack: I thought you won't like it because you came from a rich family that.
Susan interrupted: I like everything that is from you.
She went over to Jack and gave him a peck on his face. Jack was surprised and happy of course at the same time. (I also very surprise myself because Susan is such a gentle girl and a pretty conservative person.) Well, that because she likes Jack very much and wanted to give him the confidence he needed.
Kenny: Stop drinking will you!
Kenny grabbed the bottle of beer from her. Jennifer took every bottle and every bit of alcohol she could grip hold of the minute she reached the room.
Kenny: Why make yourself suffer?
Jennifer: It's none of your business. Give me back!
Kenny: No! I won't! If you have problem, say it. It'll make you feel better.
Jennifer cried: You won't understand.
Kenny: You don't say it how would I be able to understand? Is it about Jason?
Jennifer nodded.
Jennifer: Yap. I like him. I like him badly. I wanted him. But he can't sense my love for him. He always treated me like a friend. I hate it when he is with Janice chatting so happily just now.
Kenny: Okay. Did you tell him how you feel for him?
Jennifer: No. I can't. I can't bring myself to it. I just can't. What if he rejected me? What if he says he doesn’t like me? What if...?
Kenny thought: Jen...you are always like that... scared of rejections and needs your pride so badly.
Apple jumped onto the bed and shouted: Wow! Tired but happy day! I met so many people a day. A pretty interesting day don't you think Angel?
Angel: Yap. Good to make a lot of friends.
Apple: Don't you feel something weird about. Well, I don't know...Their relationships?
Angel: Whose? What relationship?
Apple: I mean their relationships are so complicated. Sigh.
Angel: People say girls who are in LOVE are dumber.

Kenny thought: Jen...you are always like that... scared of rejections and needs your pride so badly.
Kenny: Jen, don't worry and think so much. It is late now. Go to sleep. We have a big day tomorrow. You are always a successful person I had ever met. We still need you. You can't fall down so easily. Don't think about anything else okay?
He laid Jennifer on the bed. He pitied Jennifer for having such a hard time all the while. Yet as her friend, he could not do anything else to help her. Jennifer nodded her head.
Kenny: Good night.
Jennifer: Good night.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Kenny decided that first thing in the morning is to talk to Jason.
Janice: Ha. It's nice to be back to the hotel.
Jason: Yap.
Janice: It's really an excited and interesting day today huh? You met your secondary friends and I met mine.
Jason: Yap.
Janice: Hey! Other than "Yap" what else could you say?
Jason: What you want me to say?
Janice: Err... Okay nothing.
Janice went to have a shower first followed by Jason. When Jason came out of the bathroom, Janice was writing her diary.
Jason: You haven't sleep? What are you doing?
Janice: I'm writing my diary. It's a really coincidental day. I want to write it all down.
Jason: Oh okay.
Jason thought: What is she going to write about me? Being a dummy in lower secondary? I don't know what will be happening during the next few days that my friends are here. Will Edison continue to make my life difficult?
Janice: Jason, Jason.
Jason: Huh? Are you calling me?
Janice: Of course I'm calling you. Who am I supposed to call when only you and I are in the room? Are you alright? You look troubled with something. Are you feeling dizzy or something?
Jason thought: She is so sweet and caring.
Jason: I'm alright. Don't worry.
He laid Jennifer on the bed. He pitied Jennifer for having such a hard time all the while. Yet as her friend, he could not do anything else to help her. Jennifer nodded her head.
Kenny: Good night.
Jennifer: Good night.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Kenny decided that first thing in the morning is to talk to Jason.
Janice: Ha. It's nice to be back to the hotel.
Jason: Yap.

Jason thought: She is so sweet and caring.
Jason: I'm alright. Don't worry.
Janice: Okay.
Dear Diary,
I'm really happy today that I'm able to meet my friends again and play and joke and have fun together again. Also I met Jason's friend that I'm able to know more about him. Well, Brooklyn seemed like a serious guy to me. Christ joked a bit but he is not outgoing enough. I can see that Pauline don't really like his accompany. Anyway, she doesn’t like boys. Well, I can confirm that one day that a guy will win her heart. Jason, he seemed very troubled ever since he saw his friends. I wondered is it because of his friends or is it because he doesn’t like to be around with me? Or is it because of that he hasn’t fully recovered from his illness? He and I are like magnet. He is north while I'm south. We are very near each other but yet... It's seemed so far apart. I hope I can understand him.
Janice finished writing her diary and closes her book.
Jason: Finished?
Janice: Yap.
Jason: Then could you get down from the sofa? I want some rest.
Janice: You want to sleep on the sofa?
Jason: Yap. Why? Is there any problem?
Janice: The problem is you just recover from an illness and you can't sleep on the sofa. You sleep on the bed while I sleep on the sofa.
Jason: No way! I can't let a lady sleep on the sofa. Then I'm not a gentleman anymore!
Janice: Well, if I let a sick person sleep on the sofa then I'm really a cruel person.
Jason: Then what you want me to do?
Janice: You sleep on the bed. This is an order. No arguments.
Jason: Okay. I'll sleep on the bed but on one condition. You must sleep on the bed as well.
Janice: Huh what? You mean...both of us?
Jason: Wait! Don't get me wrong.
Jason was getting nervous now. He doesn’t want to let Janice to think that he is a bad person.
Jason: What I mean is you sleep on the right side of the bed while I sleep on the left. Don't worry I'm not an active sleeper. The bed is big enough.
So they went to bed just as what Jason suggested.
Jason: Finished?
Janice: Yap.
Jason: Then could you get down from the sofa? I want some rest.
Janice: You want to sleep on the sofa?
Jason: Yap. Why? Is there any problem?
Janice: The problem is you just recover from an illness and you can't sleep on the sofa. You sleep on the bed while I sleep on the sofa.
Jason: No way! I can't let a lady sleep on the sofa. Then I'm not a gentleman anymore!
Janice: Well, if I let a sick person sleep on the sofa then I'm really a cruel person.
Jason: Then what you want me to do?
Janice: You sleep on the bed. This is an order. No arguments.
Jason: Okay. I'll sleep on the bed but on one condition. You must sleep on the bed as well.
Janice: Huh what? You mean...both of us?
Jason: Wait! Don't get me wrong.
Jason was getting nervous now. He doesn’t want to let Janice to think that he is a bad person.
Jason: What I mean is you sleep on the right side of the bed while I sleep on the left. Don't worry I'm not an active sleeper. The bed is big enough.
So they went to bed just as what Jason suggested.
The next day, Jason woke up early in the morning. He felt refreshed that he had a good night sleep last night. When he woke up, he found Janice sleeping soundly, on his right, like a sleeping beauty.
Jason murmured: She is beautiful.
Jason murmured: She is beautiful.
He got up from the bed and went to the washroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Since it was still early in the morning, he decided to go down to the garden for a jog. He went to change his clothes and went off. When he was coming out of his room, he saw Kenny waiting outside his room.
Jason: Hey! Good morning! Did you sleep well?
Kenny replied coldly: Yap, except that someone had hurt somebody’s heart and that SOMEONE still looks so cheerful.
Jason: Hey. Why are you so sulking? What's the matter?
Kenny: What's the matter? Why you didn't ask what happened to Jenny? Why she drunk so much yesterday?
Jason: Okay. Why?
Kenny: It's because of YOU!
Jason: Me? Why me? I didn't make her sad or anything?
Kenny: What? You mean you don't know?
Jason: Know what?
Jason was getting impatient that Kenny had ruined his good morning.
Kenny: Jennifer likes you very much.
Jason: (Taken aback.) What are you talking about?
Kenny: You mean you didn't feel it? Jennifer likes you.
Jason: I treat her as my best friend that she often comes to my help when I needed help.
Kenny: Well, that because she likes you!
Jason: But I only treated her as friend. What you want me to do? Accept her? Well, I can't as I had no such love feeling for her.
When Jason said that, Jennifer was behind them, listening to their conversation. Her eyes were getting very red. Tears are forming in her sockets.
Jason: Jenny?
Kenny: Jenny?
Kenny: You see you broke her heart again. I'm not going to let you off.
Kenny was crunching his fingers together and pulling Jason shirt in his left hand. When he held up his fist and was about to hit Jason in his face, Jennifer shouted.
Jennifer: Please don't. I beg you.
Jennifer was kneeing down and crying at the same time.
Kenny: But his guy...
Jennifer: Please.
Kenny slowly put down his hand and let go of Jason.
Jennifer whispered: Thanks.
Kenny: Welcome.
Kenny walked off angrily.
Jason went to hold Jennifer up.
Jennifer: Thanks.
Jason: Well, that's the least I can do for you.
Silence for a moment...
Jason: Jen, I think we need to talk.
Jason and Jennifer came to a quiet place in the garden and found a bench to sit down.
Jason: Err... I don't how I should say.
Jennifer: Just speak whatever thing come to your mind. I won't blame you.
Jason: Well, I don't know that... You are interested in me... I mean...
Jennifer: It's okay... I didn't tell you... You don't have to know that.
Jason: Now that I know... I hope we can still be friends, will we?
When Jennifer heard the words "friends", she felt weakened. Tears were forming again in her socket. She tried to control them and forced out:" It is okay."
Jason asked gently: Are you alright?
Jennifer didn't want to cry in front of him at this moment but she can't help it. Tears kept forming and filled her sockets and Jason is still as caring as ever. She can't help it but to let go of the first tear drop.
Jason was panicking now. He did not want to see her cry as she is his best friend. He took out tissue from his pocket and handed to Jennifer. She was so touched that she started crying all over again.
Jason: Harsh. Please don't cry. I'm sorry...
Jennifer lied over Jason's shoulder and cry. Jason patted her back to calm her down. At that moment, Janice was walking past the garden as she was going to the restaurant to meet her friends and have her breakfast. However, to her dismay, she saw Jason and Jennifer hugging together!
Kenny replied coldly: Yap, except that someone had hurt somebody’s heart and that SOMEONE still looks so cheerful.
Jason: Hey. Why are you so sulking? What's the matter?
Kenny: What's the matter? Why you didn't ask what happened to Jenny? Why she drunk so much yesterday?
Jason: Okay. Why?
Kenny: It's because of YOU!
Jason: Me? Why me? I didn't make her sad or anything?
Kenny: What? You mean you don't know?

Jennifer lied over Jason's shoulder and cry. Jason patted her back to calm her down. At that moment, Janice was walking past the garden as she was going to the restaurant to meet her friends and have her breakfast. However, to her dismay, she saw Jason and Jennifer hugging together!
Janice was extremely sad and heartbroken. She was weak and was feeling dizzy and did not have any strength left for her. She could not take it anymore. She wanted to be as far as possible, away from this site definitely. She dashed quickly to the restaurant to meet her friends. Pauline saw Janice first.
Pauline: Hey!
Janice tried to fix her emotions a bit before walking towards their table. Anyway, it did not work at all. Their friends saw that she was very sad, bad thing must have happened!
Pauline: Hey!
Janice tried to fix her emotions a bit before walking towards their table. Anyway, it did not work at all. Their friends saw that she was very sad, bad thing must have happened!
Madeline: Are you okay?
When Janice felt that her friends are so caring, she could not help it but cried.
Rachel: Don't cry, please don't cry. Come and sit down.
Madeline passed her a piece of tissue.
Madeline: What has happened? Tell us, maybe we can help you.
She tried to control her tears a bit and finally calm down.
Pauline: So what had happened that made you so sad?
Janice: On my way here, I saw Jennifer and Jason... I think they are a couple... No wonder they are so close together during school times.
Rachel: Hey! That's not true! (Rachel recalled that Edison had told her that Jason likes Janice last night. But she did not know he could be trusted and moreover he and Jason had never in contract already for many years.)
Pauline: Yap. How would you know? I mean you never ask them? They like be friends or some sort.
Madeline: Yap. Pauline can be right. Why guys and girls can't be good friends, right? Don't worry.
Janice: Okay.
When Janice felt that her friends are so caring, she could not help it but cried.
Rachel: Don't cry, please don't cry. Come and sit down.
Madeline passed her a piece of tissue.
Madeline: What has happened? Tell us, maybe we can help you.
She tried to control her tears a bit and finally calm down.
Pauline: So what had happened that made you so sad?
Janice: On my way here, I saw Jennifer and Jason... I think they are a couple... No wonder they are so close together during school times.
Rachel: Hey! That's not true! (Rachel recalled that Edison had told her that Jason likes Janice last night. But she did not know he could be trusted and moreover he and Jason had never in contract already for many years.)
Pauline: Yap. How would you know? I mean you never ask them? They like be friends or some sort.
Madeline: Yap. Pauline can be right. Why guys and girls can't be good friends, right? Don't worry.
Janice: Okay.
Although after hearing what their friends said, she calmed down a little, she still a bit worried. Jennifer is an aggressive person, if she knew that Janice like Jason, she would not let her off. What if they are really couples? She got to avoid them. So for the rest of the morning, Janice tried to avoid Jason and Jennifer wherever possible. Jason found Janice very strange that he decided he got to talk to Janice if possible. So for the rest of the morning, Jason tried to find a good time to talk to Janice but to no avail, Janice was simply trying to avoid. For the rest of the morning, they walked, looked and eat round the city.
In the afternoon, during lunch, Jennifer made an announcement.
Jennifer: Listen up, everyone!
Everyone looked up, looking pretty surprised and strange.
Jennifer: I'm going back to Singapore tomorrow.
Then commotions were heard on the table. Jason and Kenny were looking shocked too.
Jennifer: Well, not because I don't like this place, don't like you all. I like being with you guys really. It's just that I want to relax and be on my own. For a long time, I had never relaxed, so I had to leave to relax myself where I have no responsibility to take. I know I'm being irresponsible here but I really pressurized. So sorry guys!
Angel: Hey! Don't be sorry. You did so many things for us. It's time you do something for yourself. Really, we won't blame you. Is that right guys?
All the people on the table cheered and agreed.
Jennifer: Thanks guys! You are really cool!
At this moment, Angel asked Apple: you want to break the news to all of them? Since they are all here?
Apple: Sure, I don't mind.
Angel: Hey guys!
Edison: Yap?
Angel: Apple and I want to go back to Singapore too because we are getting married. I proposed last night and she agreed. So we got t go back to homeland to break the news to our parents.
The table chapped their hands and cheered.
Mad, Pauline, Rachel, Susan and Janice: Coagulations.
Rachel: Hey! Must treat Apple well or else...
Angel: Don't worry. I will. She is my wife you know.
He went over and kissed her. Apple pushed him off.
Susan to Jacky: Do you want to tell them about the things we discussed yesterday?
Jacky: Sure. It's fine with me.
Jacky: Listen up guys.
Edison: Another one going to leave us too?
Jacky: Yap. We are going back. Because Susan had just received a task from his dad so that she can start her job as fast as possible. So she asked me for help and I sort of agree. Since 3 people are going back tomorrow then we leave tomorrow?
Susan: Okay sure.
Rachel: How come she asks you and didn't ask me?
Rachel teased. They both blushed.
Madeline: Hey! Come on, don't tease them already.
Pauline: Yap. Can't you see that they are couples? Don't be jealous.
They both blushed even redder. When Janice heard the word "Couples" she fidgeted a little but nobody notices her.
Edison can't keep his eyes away from Rachel. Rachel was pleased and uneasily at the same time.
Jennifer: Listen up, everyone!
Everyone looked up, looking pretty surprised and strange.
Jennifer: I'm going back to Singapore tomorrow.
Then commotions were heard on the table. Jason and Kenny were looking shocked too.
Jennifer: Well, not because I don't like this place, don't like you all. I like being with you guys really. It's just that I want to relax and be on my own.

They both blushed even redder. When Janice heard the word "Couples" she fidgeted a little but nobody notices her.
Edison can't keep his eyes away from Rachel. Rachel was pleased and uneasily at the same time.
After the lunch, they tour around the city again. It's a really great place with lots of interesting things around.
Kenny: How come you going back to Singapore? Is it because of Jason?
Jennifer: I thought I explained during lunch time. It's not because of him. It's just that I wanted time for myself.
Kenny: You are lying.
Jen: I'm not!
Kenny: You are!
Jen: You are being so... unreasonable!
Kenny: Whatever. I'll go back with you tomorrow.
Jennifer: Why? Fear that I can't take care of myself?
Kenny: No. I know you definitely can take care of yourself. I don't want to stay here any longer.
Jennifer: Then who will take care of the group?
Kenny: Well. Jason will.
Jennifer: But you don't expect him to do everything himself, do you?
Kenny: Well, I don't. But I know that you still care about him. Then why you leave?
Jennifer: Because I know he doesn't like me. So why waste my time and effort here, right? But we are still friends just like before.
Kenny: Okay, thank goodness that you can think.
Jennifer: Hey. I always can think and ALWAYS BETTER than you.
Kenny: Okay, whatever.
Jennifer: So you still want to go back with me now?
Kenny: Yes.
Jennifer: Why?
Kenny: Like what I say... I don't want to stay here any longer. It freaks me out man.
Jennifer: I know what you mean. You mean Jason? Look, you got to talk to him and patch up with him. Remember, you all are good friends so don't let little matter spoil your relationship.
Kenny: Whatever. It's not a small matter you know.
Jennifer: Whatever.
Kenny went over to Jason.
Kenny: Son, we got to talk.
Jason: Yap, I think so too.
Kenny: I’m sorry that I was angry with you this morning that I was going to hit you or something.
Jason: It is okay, man. If you are not angry, you are not the Kenny I knew. Jenny is our friends’ right?
Kenny: Yap, I guess you are right. Jenny is my friend. That’s why I’m so angry.
They laughed at each other for the first time in the day.
Kenny: I’m going back tomorrow.
Jason: Why? Don’t tell me it’s because of me?
Kenny: Well, actually yes. I booked the flight because I can’t stand you anymore.
Jason: I don’t know that I’m so hard to communicate and so unlikable by others.
Kenny: Well, you know you are not.
Jason: So then?
Kenny: I booked this flight out of anger but then my dad called me this morning that big problem had occurred in the company and it is very argent. He needed my help and advice immediately.
Jason: Not bad huh? Father asked son for advice.
Jason wished that his parents wouldn’t be always so busy and could listen to how he feels too. But he already got used to it, that since he was young, he seemed that he was an orphanage. Of course, he is richer and much better than them. But he’s not happy, as he felt lonely all the times.
Jason: Jenny.
Jennifer: Not another one. Don’t ask me about my leaving. I had explained everything during lunchtime.
Jason: Well, I’m going to ask for more explanation. I hope that your leaving is not because of me or else I’ll be guilty.
Jennifer: Hey! Fat hope! You didn’t have that attraction I guess.
Jason: That’s sad. Then why you want to leave?
Jennifer: Sigh. Why are you so long-winded? I say I explained everything this afternoon.
Jennifer: Janice, we need to talk.
Janice thought: Talk? What is it about? Oh my god, somebody help me out of this situation, please. She felt scared. She always fear of Jennifer and knew that they can’t be friends, as their personality doesn’t match.
Janice: Talk? Sure.
Jennifer: Hey! Don’t be anxious. I won’t eat.
Janice: Yap. So what is it about?
Jennifer: I want to talk about Jason
Janice: Jason? What is it?
Jennifer told her everything about what happened in the morning. Janice was shocked.
Janice: Did Kenny really hit Jason?
Jennifer: Of course not. I stopped him.
Janice: Thank goodness.
Jennifer told the rest of the story to her about her crying part and how Jason comforted her in the park. Then Janice realized that she had mistaken them and she felt really guilty.
Jennifer: Okay. He is really a nice guy. He lent a shoulder to me to cry on. Although he didn’t say, from what I notice, he likes you.
Janice: He likes me?
Jennifer: Yap. He never looks at a girl in that “loving” way before. I was kind of jealous.
When Jennifer said that she felt more guilt than before that he jumped to the conclusion that Jennifer and Jason are couples and kept avoid him all the times. She felt really bad about it. Janice told Jennifer about what she saw in the morning in the park.
Jennifer: Janice, that is really ridiculous.
Janice: Yap. I know. That’s why I feel s really bad avoiding him and you all the times.
Jennifer: It’s okay. You try to talk to him and he’ll understand.
Janice now realized that Jennifer was such a friendly and kind person. Not what she thinks Jennifer was in the past as aggressive and powerful.
Kenny: How come you going back to Singapore? Is it because of Jason?
Jennifer: I thought I explained during lunch time. It's not because of him. It's just that I wanted time for myself.
Kenny: You are lying.
Jen: I'm not!
Kenny: You are!
Jen: You are being so... unreasonable!
Kenny: Whatever. I'll go back with you tomorrow.
Jennifer: Why? Fear that I can't take care of myself?
Kenny: No. I know you definitely can take care of yourself. I don't want to stay here any longer.
Jennifer: Then who will take care of the group?
Kenny: Well. Jason will.
Jennifer: But you don't expect him to do everything himself, do you?

At night, as quite a few people are leaving tomorrow, they had their night off so as they can pack their luggage and have a good rest.
Kenny had finished packing his luggage and went to Janice’s room.
Kenny: Janice, I want to talk to you. Can we go somewhere pirate and talk?
Janice: Yap, sure.
They went to a quite place and Kenny broke the silence.
Kenny: Janice, I like you since the first time I knew you in University.
Janice dropped her jaws. She thought: Is he kidding me?
Kenny: Okay, don’t be shocked. It’s really true. Well, looks like I can hide my feelings very well huh?
Janice: Sorry. I really didn’t know that. If you told me earlier, I may kind of consider but…
Kenny: Oh I see. I just want to check out if I had any chance so that I would not regret after I left.
Janice: Oh. Now, you have no regrets.
Kenny: Yap.
Brooklyn went to Madeline’s room and pressed the doorbell.
Madeline: Oh it’s you.
Brooklyn: Are you busy right now?
Madeline: No.
Brooklyn: Can you accompany me to the park? Are you tired or something?
Madeline: No, I can accompany you if you want.
Brooklyn thought: Of course I want. I really like your accompany.
Brooklyn: Thanks!
They walked down to the park and started chatting. They could talk almost everything and anything, from their friends to family to their hobbies to jobs to dreams to reality.

Madeline: No, I can accompany you if you want.
Brooklyn thought: Of course I want. I really like your accompany.
Brooklyn: Thanks!
They walked down to the park and started chatting. They could talk almost everything and anything, from their friends to family to their hobbies to jobs to dreams to reality.
Suddenly, Brooklyn said: I bought something today just for you.
Madeline was really happy when he said "just for you".
Madeline: What is it?
Brooklyn took out something from his pocket. It was a box. Brooklyn opened up the box, inside it contained a sliver necklace with a heart in the middle. In the middle, it has a diamond in it. The box also contains a pair of earrings, which is the hook type. The design of the earrings is the same as the heart from the necklace.
So from here you can see that Brooklyn is very generous and rich too. Madeline was shocked. She wasn’t prepared to have a present such expensive. Madeline could not mutter a word at the moment.
Brooklyn: So you like it? I think it suits your skin very well.
Madeline: Oh. It’s really nice. I mean I wasn’t really… I mean I don’t know that you will give me such an expensive gift. I think I can’t have it… I mean…
Brooklyn: Don’t worry. You like them right?
Madeline: Yap. I really like them.
Brooklyn: Okay. That’s good. I’ll help you wear them.
Brooklyn helped to wear the necklace first then the earrings.
Brooklyn: You look beautiful on them especially you have long and silky hair.
Madeline: Really? Thanks for your gift and everything.
Madeline was feeling that she is on top of the world now, like being treated like a princess. She was really glad that Brooklyn praised her like this.
Brooklyn was now looking into Madeline’s eyes and Madeline looked back as well.
Brooklyn: You are beautiful.
Madeline: Thanks.
Madeline said with a laugh.
Brooklyn bends down to her and they are getting very close now. Finally, their lips meet together. They kissed.
Back to Jason and Janice’s room,
Janice: So how are you now?
Jason: I’m fine. So why do you ask?
Jason was pleased that she asked her this question it means that she cares about him but Jason was surprised why she asked this question.
Janice: Do you want to go to the park and we’ll talk?
Jason: Aren’t you tired after a long day?
Janice: Are you tired?
Jason: No, of course not! Who say I’m tired!
Janice: Okay, then. Let’s go to the park.
Madeline was really happy when he said "just for you".
Madeline: What is it?
Brooklyn took out something from his pocket. It was a box. Brooklyn opened up the box, inside it contained a sliver necklace with a heart in the middle. In the middle, it has a diamond in it.

Back to Jason and Janice’s room,
Janice: So how are you now?
Jason: I’m fine. So why do you ask?
Jason was pleased that she asked her this question it means that she cares about him but Jason was surprised why she asked this question.
Janice: Do you want to go to the park and we’ll talk?
Jason: Aren’t you tired after a long day?
Janice: Are you tired?
Jason: No, of course not! Who say I’m tired!
Janice: Okay, then. Let’s go to the park.
They walked silently to the park. At the park, Janice told Jason that Jennifer had told her everything about the fighting thing and how she realized that Jennifer was actually a really nice person not the person she thought as unreasonable and thoughtless. And she apologized that she kept avoiding him that day because she saw Jennifer and him hugging together in the park.
Jason urgently said: No! Because Jennifer…
Janice: I know. Jennifer had explained everything to me. So, I’m sorry that I have mistaken you.
Jason: Oh well, it’s okay that, you know…
Janice wanted to confess to him that she liked him very much when Jason saw something.
Jason: Look there!
Janice: Where?
They saw Brooklyn and Madeline were kissing.
Jason: Let’s go quietly over.
Finally, Madeline and Brooklyn broke off from their first kiss ever.
Jason and Janice: Gotcha!
Madeline and Brooklyn were turned aback that Jason and Janice were there at the park as well.
Brooklyn: How come you two here?
Janice: Well, to catch you two!
Janice teased. Brooklyn and Madeline blushed.
Janice: Okay, don’t disturb you lovebirds already.
Brooklyn: Wait! Jason, we haven’t talk for years!
Jason: Sure, see you girls later.
Brooklyn: Bye.
Brooklyn and Jason walked off.
Janice: Have a NICE talk with Brooklyn huh?
Madeline blushed again.
Janice: Hey! Relax. Since when did you become so shy?
Madeline: Okay. Will you stop teasing me? I really had a nice time with Brooklyn.
Janice: Wow. Nice necklace and earrings. They must be from your boyfriend, Brooklyn.
Janice noticed Madeline’s necklace and earrings for the first time and started admiring them. Madeline was pleased that Janice was admiring. This shows that Brooklyn had great taste.
Madeline: Brooklyn isn’t my boyfriend yet.
Janice: Huh? He isn’t? How come he gave you all these and why you two kissed?
Madeline: He didn’t ask me to be his girlfriend.
Janice: Well, maybe he wanted to say when Jason and I appeared. By his actions, I have a feeling that he likes you very much. If not, he will not give such an expensive gift.
Madeline: Yap. I think so too.
Brooklyn: Hey man, so how are you?
Jason: Um… Pretty good I guess. How about you, Brook?
Brooklyn: Sigh… I don’t know. I had a girlfriend now you know?
Jason: Huh? But you just now…
Brooklyn: Yap. I know, don’t tell anyone. But I don’t like Lana because she keeps “pouring cold water” on me. She doesn’t support my ideas and stuffs. I don’t think we are compatible. I really thank her for what she did for me and I really touched but now I realized that I don’t really like her when I saw Madeline last night. I felt that she is my life; all my life has been enlightened because of her. So I tried to make her happy, I want to see her smile. But I didn’t tell her how I feel about her because when she found out that I had a girlfriend, she’ll feel that I cheated on her. I wonder make myself clear with my current girlfriend first before telling her how I feel. But I can’t resist and kissed her just that which is pretty good I think. I never feel that happy for a long time. But at the same time, I feel guilty as well. But the thing is why am I feeling different to Lana and Madeline?
Janice: Where?
They saw Brooklyn and Madeline were kissing.
Jason: Let’s go quietly over.
Finally, Madeline and Brooklyn broke off from their first kiss ever.
Jason and Janice: Gotcha!
Madeline and Brooklyn were turned aback that Jason and Janice were there at the park as well.
Brooklyn: How come you two here?
Janice: Well, to catch you two!
Janice teased. Brooklyn and Madeline blushed.
Janice: Okay, don’t disturb you lovebirds already.

Brooklyn: Bye.
Brooklyn and Jason walked off.
Janice: Have a NICE talk with Brooklyn huh?
Madeline blushed again.
Janice: Hey! Relax. Since when did you become so shy?
Madeline: Okay. Will you stop teasing me? I really had a nice time with Brooklyn.
Janice: Wow. Nice necklace and earrings. They must be from your boyfriend, Brooklyn.
Janice noticed Madeline’s necklace and earrings for the first time and started admiring them. Madeline was pleased that Janice was admiring. This shows that Brooklyn had great taste.

Brooklyn: Hey man, so how are you?
Jason: Um… Pretty good I guess. How about you, Brook?
Brooklyn: Sigh… I don’t know. I had a girlfriend now you know?
Jason: Huh? But you just now…
Brooklyn: Yap. I know, don’t tell anyone. But I don’t like Lana because she keeps “pouring cold water” on me. She doesn’t support my ideas and stuffs. I don’t think we are compatible.

I never feel that happy for a long time. But at the same time, I feel guilty as well. But the thing is why am I feeling different to Lana and Madeline?
Jason: Oh I see… I think it’s because you are touched by what Lana did for you but the thing you doesn’t really like her and the thing is you committed to the relationship is because she did so much thing for you and you felt very guilty for not being to do something for her. Also, at that time, you did not come across someone you really like, that’s why, now you meet Madeline and she’s the girl you loved very much. But you are very confused at the moment, you know that you love Madeline very much but you don’t want to hurt Lana as well. So don’t worry, man. Things will turn out just fine.
Brooklyn: Oh I see. Yap, hopefully things will turn out fine. I didn’t know you know so much about relationship. So how about you and Janice huh?
Jason: What crap are you talking about?
Brooklyn: Hey! Don’t try to act blur! Have you tell her how you feel?
Jason: Well… I tried…yesterday…
Brooklyn: Then? What happened? What she said? Did she agree?
Jason: Well, but then something occurred and I didn’t say it.
Brooklyn: Oh man! You are really hopeless!
Jason: Hey calm down man! I’ll do it tonight!
Brooklyn: You say it. If she is snatched by another person don’t blame me that I didn’t warn you.
Jason: What crap are you talking about?
Brooklyn: Hey! Don’t try to act blur! Have you tell her how you feel?
Jason: Well… I tried…yesterday…
Brooklyn: Then? What happened? What she said? Did she agree?
Jason: Well, but then something occurred and I didn’t say it.
Brooklyn: Oh man! You are really hopeless!
Jason: Hey calm down man! I’ll do it tonight!
Brooklyn: You say it. If she is snatched by another person don’t blame me that I didn’t warn you.
As the guys had so many things to catch up on, they spent a lot of time on chatting. Hence, the girls went back to their rooms first. Janice went back to her room, had a quick shower and changed into something clean. She started to write her diary again as today so many things had happened today.
Dear Diary
Today was the third day of my trip to Spain. I had a nice and wonderful time. But the sad thing is a few of us are going back to Singapore because they had something to attend to in Singapore. For Angel and Apple, they had decided to get married and they are going to seek permission from their parents. Sigh… It’s really fast. They have been dating since their first year of University. They are a loving couple. They supported and helped each other out. We are pretty envious and jealous at times. Although the couple sometimes had quarrels and disagreements at times, being their friends, Rachel, Susan, Jacky and I were always tried to solve their disagreements. But after every quarrel, they became more loving and understanding.

Although the couple sometimes had quarrels and disagreements at times, being their friends, Rachel, Susan, Jacky and I were always tried to solve their disagreements. But after every quarrel, they became more loving and understanding.
For Susan and Jacky, I am very happy for them, as they finally became an item. It had been three years; they had crushed on each other. As their friends, we had been trying to convince and persuade to one of them and tell the other party about how they felt about each other. They are going to help Susan’s father’s business. Well, it was a really good beginning.
For Kenny, he is going back to help his father’s company. Today, I had a shock in my life that was Kenny said he liked me. Well, I was pretty surprised as I did not know he had a crushed on me. I rejected him because I treated him as friend only and will always be.
For Jennifer, she said she needed time for herself. I think she is a bit stress out. She needed some rest. She is really a nice and wonderful despite of what I thought of her earlier on during the university times.
Ha. Jason and I just caught Brooklyn and Madeline kissing. Madeline finally met his first love. Brooklyn is her biggest crush ever. She had a crush on him since secondary one. Now, they are fated to meet each other, they should be together. And I hope they will be. I think Brooklyn likes Madeline too, if not, why he gave her such an expensive gift and kissed her, right?
Sigh. Now, my friends are pretty happy as they had their “the other part”. Sigh. How about me? I am supposed to say it to Jason that I really like him but something caught our eyes that is Madeline and Brooklyn kissing.
When Janice wrote her diary till here, Jason scared her: What are you doing?
Janice startled: Nothing, just writing my diary. So how is your chatting with Brooklyn? Had a lot to catch up huh?
Jason: Pretty good. Seemed like you had washed yourself up huh?
Jason smelt the shampoo that came from Janice’s moist hair.
Janice blushes a little: Yap.
Jason: Janice.
Janice: Yap?
Jason’s heart was plumping hard and fast.
Jason: I want to tell you something.
Janice: What is it? You looked tensed. Are you okay?
Jason: I… Err…
Janice was pretty confused, as she had never seen Jason so tensed up before.
Janice: Yap? What is it you want to tell me? Relax, tell me slow…
Before Janice could finish her sentence, Jason interrupted: I like you very much.
Janice was turned aback. Had she heard correctly or her ears are playing ticks on her?
Janice: Sorry. I can’t catch what you say.
Jason plucked up his courage one more and poured out the words: Ilikeyouverymuch
Janice had not heard wrongly. She was filled with emotions- happy, excited, and filled with joys and happiness.
Janice: Really?
Tears were forming at the sockets of her eyes. She wanted to thank her parents for giving birth to her, she wanted to thank the god to give her such an opportunity to come to this trip with his wonderful, and she wanted to thank everyone living organisms in the world.
Jason: Hey! How many times you wanted me to say?
Tears fell onto Janice’s cheeks.
Jason was heartbroken. He went over to hug her.
Jason: Don’t cry. I did not do it intentionally. I’ll say as many times as you like.
Janice murmured: No. I’m just too happy that I cried.
She hugged him back. She felt safe.
Janice startled: Nothing, just writing my diary. So how is your chatting with Brooklyn? Had a lot to catch up huh?
Jason: Pretty good. Seemed like you had washed yourself up huh?
Jason smelt the shampoo that came from Janice’s moist hair.
Janice blushes a little: Yap.
Jason: Janice.
Janice: Yap?

Jason: I… Err…

Jason: Don’t cry. I did not do it intentionally. I’ll say as many times as you like.
Janice murmured: No. I’m just too happy that I cried.
She hugged him back. She felt safe.
Early in the morning, all the people woke up early to send off their friends in the airport. It was quite a coincidental thing that Susan, Jacky, Angel, Apple, Jennifer and Kenny got the same airplane, same time to Singapore. It was pretty weird as they booked the flights at different times of the day.
Jason: Hey! Jen and Ken, I’m going to miss you guys.Jennifer: Um… you better not; I’m having Goosebumps already.
Kenny: (laughed) I’m going to miss you too.
They had a goodbye hug.
Jason: Take care.
Kenny: I will. You too!
Jennifer: Hey! We’ll meet again. It’s not like we are not going to meet for years.
Jason: Whatever. But you take care too.
They had a goodbye hug as well. Jennifer felt like crying but she held back.
Jason: You take care too huh?
Jennifer: Yes, I will.
Janice: Hey! Later you two couples get married, must invite us to your wedding.
Apple: Yap. We’ll. Don’t you worry! You too! Just now, I saw you and Jason are holding hands together.
Janice: (Smile) you are such a good observer.
Apple: Of course. So that means you and him are together?
Janice: Yap.
They heard the announcements for last call for their plane.
Susan: We are going off.
