Jason: So what you all want to do now?
Pauline suggested: We girls will have our girls talk and you guys have yours. Since you guys had such a long time never see each other already, should have a lot of catching up stuff to do. We girls will have ours too.
Janice, Madeline and Rachel reluctantly agreed, as they wanted to be with Jason, Brooklyn and Edison respectively. You know it is no choice thing. If they disagreed, it was like betraying Pauline and they don’t want to make her feel embarrassed in front of the guys.
Jason: Okay then. You girls have girls talk and we guys have guys talk. We will meet here again in two hours time.
Then they got separated.
Pauline: Hey! Where you girls want to go huh?
Madeline: Anything. You decide.
Rachel: Yap, agree.
Janice: Yap.
Pauline: Hey! Why you all like no energy like that? Didn’t sleep well last night? Come on, be enthusiastic.
Rachel: Yap, what done is done. We got to enjoy these two hours.
Janice: Whatever.
Madeline: I don’t mind.
Rachel: Hey, guys. We should treasure our friendship and not be unhappy for the guy reason okay? Although, I’m a little sad that I can’t be with Edison, why not make these two hours a happy one?
Madeline: Okay. So what are we going to do for these two hours?
Pauline: How about we go shopping?
Janice: I don’t have money.
Pauline: Window-shopping then?
So the girls went shopping around the airport. It was a pretty grand one with lots of expensive and interesting staffs of the tourists to do last minutes shopping.
Pauline: Mad, I called your room yesterday. But nobody answered, how come you not in your room resting?
Madeline: Um…
Madeline did not want to tell them about the gift as she had not confirmed if Brooklyn and were already a couple and if she said, it would come to the kissing part and it would be embarrassing. Janice sensing something was wrong quickly helped Madeline.
Janice: Oh, we were in the park. Because, we had a lot to catch up you know. And I couldn’t sleep.
Pauline teased: Yap, I know especially with Jason around in the same room.
Janice: Whatever.
Madeline whispered to Janice: Thanks.
Janice: Welcome.
Pauline: Oh yap, how is Brooklyn, Mad? Have you had any chance to talk to him?
Madeline: Yap. Since we went to the pub, I haven’t had the chance to talk to him.
Pauline: Oh really? Yesterday, I saw him went into a jewellery shop and bought something.
Madeline: Oh is it? I’m not sure?
Pauline: You mean you all didn’t saw it?
The three of them shook their heads.
Madeline: Okay, stop talking about me. Say something about you instead?
Pauline: what about me?
Madeline: How you feel about Christopher? He seemed interested in you?
Pauline: What interested in me? Are you kidding me? You know my saying “all guys are…”
The rest of them helped her to continue: Jerks.
Madeline: Then Rachel how about you? How do you feel about Edison?
Rachel brushed.
Rachel: He is not a bad guy I think. He is quite a straightforward guy that he actually tell me how he feels about me the first time we met.
Pauline: You mean he said…
Rachel: He said he is interested in me and if we could go on a date.
Madeline: So? Did you agree?
Rachel: Well, I told him that I needed some time to think about it and he said okay.
Pauline: Now Janice turn.
Janice: Huh? What? Who called me?
Pauline: Jan is daydreaming again huh? Sigh. Will she ever be involved in our conversation instead of in her own world?
Rachel: How are you and Jason coming?
Janice’s face suddenly became as red as an apple.
Janice: I… Err… We…
She breathed in and let out slowly.
Janice: Yesterday, he said he likes me.
Janice spoke so fast that I doubt anyone could hear clearly but surprisingly, they did and were very excited about what was going to be said next. So slowly and clearly, she told them what happened.
Rachel: Then what Edison said is true.
Janice: What he said?
Rachel: He said that Jason likes Janice but since it was the first time we met, I don’t really trust him much. Now, he was right.
Madeline: So you can tell him that you agree to become his girlfriend.
Rachel: Very funny, Mad!
Pauline suggested: We girls will have our girls talk and you guys have yours. Since you guys had such a long time never see each other already, should have a lot of catching up stuff to do. We girls will have ours too.
Janice, Madeline and Rachel reluctantly agreed, as they wanted to be with Jason, Brooklyn and Edison respectively. You know it is no choice thing. If they disagreed, it was like betraying Pauline and they don’t want to make her feel embarrassed in front of the guys.

Madeline: So you can tell him that you agree to become his girlfriend.
Rachel: Very funny, Mad!
Everyone laughed.
Jason: So where you guys want to go?
Edison: As guys, we don’t really like shopping as much as girls.
Brooklyn: How about we go in a café and chat?
Jason: Okay, it’s fine with me.
So the guys went in a café, found a table and ordered some drinks.
Edison suddenly remembered something.
Edison: Where you went to yesterday night? I saw you walking down the stairs…
Brooklyn: I was… Um… I was going to the park with Jason.
He elbowed to Jason to signal to him to help him out.
Jason: Oh yap. We were in the park chatting. We got so much thing to catch up on and things like that. And the park scenery is beautiful at night. It’s a pity you guys are not there.
Edison said sarcastically: Because you guys didn’t invite us.
Brooklyn: Sorry guys. You know Jason and I are best friends and I hope to chat with him personally. Now that we are in the café we could be just like we are in secondary school. Isn’t cool?
Christopher: Yap. It is. (He finally talks for the first time.)
Edison: Whatever.
Jason: Yeah. So how are you guys this few years? Have any girlfriend or something?
Christopher: Well, not bad actually. It’s a pity that I haven’t got any girlfriend yet.
Jason: Is it because you still love Raja?
Edison: Hey! Is it? I thought you interested in… Err… What’s that girl name who you dance with the other day?
Chris: You mean Pauline? She’s not interested in me. And I felt that she’s kind of suck up. I felt she is proud and uninterested in what I said and I felt that she wanted to get away from me as soon as possible because she seemed so happy when Jason and Janice arrived.
Jason: Then how about Raja? You still miss her?
Chris: Well, I don’t know. I think I better forgot her…
Jason: Why?
Chris: Well, it’s because we are not from the same races. Our parents will disagree when we are together. Also, I didn’t stay contract with her now.
Jason: Oh, okay. What if she suddenly appears? What will you do?
Chris: Well just say hi and still be friends.
Jason: Hey! You are cool, Chris. How about you, Ed?
Edison: Me? What about me? Still the same old me… Um…girlfriend, I had one but we can’t tolerate each other so we broke up.
Brooklyn: And now he has a new target. That is Rachel.
Edison: Yap. She is really a pretty, cute, cheerful girl. I never believe in love at first sight but after I saw her I can’t resist. I feel happy and excited. She sort of lighted up my life.
Jason: So where you guys want to go?
Edison: As guys, we don’t really like shopping as much as girls.
Brooklyn: How about we go in a café and chat?
Jason: Okay, it’s fine with me.
So the guys went in a café, found a table and ordered some drinks.

Edison: Yap. She is really a pretty, cute, cheerful girl. I never believe in love at first sight but after I saw her I can’t resist. I feel happy and excited. She sort of lighted up my life.
Jason: Someone is in love!
Edison: Whatever. She is really a nice girl. Don’t you all think so too?
Brooklyn: Well, I can’t see that but I can see someone is crazy over her.
Edison: (Blushed.) Whatever. Hey! Can you guys stop teasing me! How about you and that Madeline, right? And what’s going to happen to Lana?
Wow, Edison is really crazy over Rachel as he rarely blushed. He’s really in love.
Brooklyn: Um… I don’t know… I mean I know that I really like Madeline but Lana sacrificed so much for me.
Edison: Luckily, you like Madeline. Don’t be offended when I said this… I mean Lana is really a spoilt rag. I really can’t tolerate her. She is a nuisance. Well, but she did so much for you that only strength I can talk about as for the rest… Okay, you know my character. I’m a straightforward person. I said what I think so don’t get offended Brook. But anyway, it’s your choice you got to choose and follow your heart.
Jason: Yap. It’s in your hands now. You better decide and let them know early so that you minimise hurting anyone of them. So you got to think and feel carefully.
Edison: Yap. Think and feel carefully. Jason, you got to think and feel carefully too about the girl you love since when? When you are in secondary school? Have you confess your feelings for her yet?
Brooklyn: Ed, why you never remember other people’s name except your Rachel huh?
Edison: Whatever. Will I care?
Jason: Okay. You mean Janice. Yap, I confessed to her already.
Everyone looked up and waited to hear more.
Edison: Oh really? What she says?
Jason: Well, she cried.
Brooklyn: She did? Why? What you did to her?
Jason: Hey! I did nothing! I was really heartbroken to see her cry. So I hugged her but she said she was happy.
Edison: Whatever. She is really a nice girl. Don’t you all think so too?
Brooklyn: Well, I can’t see that but I can see someone is crazy over her.
Edison: (Blushed.) Whatever. Hey! Can you guys stop teasing me! How about you and that Madeline, right? And what’s going to happen to Lana?
Wow, Edison is really crazy over Rachel as he rarely blushed. He’s really in love.

Jason: Well, she cried.
Brooklyn: She did? Why? What you did to her?
Jason: Hey! I did nothing! I was really heartbroken to see her cry. So I hugged her but she said she was happy.
Brooklyn: Oh I see. But will your parents agree? I mean, your background and her background are different. Will your parents agree to this?
Jason: I don’t care whether they agree or not? Since I’m a kid, they never care about my feelings and thoughts. But luckily to say, I have Aunty Chu always by my side and take care of me and support me, I’m really glad.
Brooklyn: Hey, dude. You can’t blame them; they are real busy businessman and businesswoman.
Jason: Then, why do they have to give birth to me in the first place, if they have given birth to me, they must have the responsibility to take care of me instead of dumping me to someone else.
Chris: Why are you born? That’s a good question. So that to let you know that they are other people who like you and you like for example Aunty Chu, Janice and us. Jason, look at the bright side.
Edison: Hey! Look who’s talking? He who hasn’t been talking for past half hour…
Brooklyn: Well, I felt that he is right.
Edison: Man, I didn’t say he is wrong.
After two hours, the girls and the guys came back to where they are supposed to meet.
Edison: So do you girls have fun?
Rachel: Yap. Not bad!
Pauline: Oh course we are having good time just like before.
Brooklyn: That’s good.
Edison: We are also having fun, you know.
Rachel: Well, I can tell from your facial expression.
Edison: Hey! I thought you could read my mind. Sigh. Seemed like I ‘m really not good at hiding my feelings.
“Brooklyn!” Someone shouted from far behind.
The group turned over to see who is calling.
The boys were really surprised to see her in Spain.
Edison: Why is she here?
Jason: Who is she?
Jason: I don’t care whether they agree or not? Since I’m a kid, they never care about my feelings and thoughts. But luckily to say, I have Aunty Chu always by my side and take care of me and support me, I’m really glad.
Brooklyn: Hey, dude. You can’t blame them; they are real busy businessman and businesswoman.

“Brooklyn!” Someone shouted from far behind.
The group turned over to see who is calling.
The boys were really surprised to see her in Spain.
Edison: Why is she here?
Jason: Who is she?
“Brooklyn!”
The girl finally caught up and catches her breath for a while.
She took in a long and deep breathing before starting to talk again.
“ I thought you couldn’t hear me. Finally I managed to catch up with you.”
Brooklyn: What you doing here? (Asking anxiously and taking a quick glance at Madeline to see if she is angry or anything.)
“Your mum said you are here in Spain so I come to give you a surprise. Aren’t you happy, boyfriend? “She spoke as she griped his arm.
Brooklyn: Hands off. Everyone is looking at us.
Pauline: Wow, your girlfriend huh? You have such a loving girlfriend who actually came so far just to see you.
Rachel poked her in her stomach to signal to her to stop talking.
Pauline talking to Rachel: Ouch! That hurt you know! What’s wrong with you?
Rachel asked seriously: I should be asking you that question! Can you stop talking for just a second? Nobody will say you are dumb!
Pauline: No need to be that fierce. I don’t talk can?
Edison: Lana, you come all the way with no luggage at all?
Lana: Oh! My “two maids” will bring it to me. And miss? The one who is talking to me? Who do you think you are? Talk to me like this? Where is your manner? Brook, help me give her a scolding.
Pauline wanted to scold back but stop but Rachel.
Brooklyn: Lana, please stop all your nonsense!
Lana: Okay. Just for your sake.
She gripped his right arm again.
Brooklyn sighed.
-----------------------------------------
Raja: Lana, can you take your own luggage? How can the girls take your entire luggage?
Lana: Raja, how come you walk so slowly?
Raja: Still dare to say? How can the girls manage with all the stuffs you brought? I got to help them to carry some of them.
Lana: They can manage. Don’t worry.
Madeline: Raja!
Raja hesitated for a moment, could not believe her eyes.
Raja: Madeline! How come you are here? Oh! With Janice, Pauline and RACHEL!
The girls hugged each other since they had not seen each other for so long.
From the time Christopher saw Raja, his heart had been pouching so hard. His feelings came back again since that first time he saw Raja. That’s the feelings coming back again. The happy moments they spent time together came flashing in his mind again.
Raja scanned the group for a while and see if there was anybody else she knew. Then, she spotted him.
Raja: Hi! I’m surprised to see you here. How have you been?
Christopher: Fine. Thank you. How about you?
Raja: Oh. Good. Have you found any girlfriend yet?
Christopher: Sad to say no.
Lana: Hey! How come you two like slow pigs! Faster!
The two girls finally brought the luggage to Lana.
Edison: Wow! You brought one, two, three …
Edison started counting the luggage she had brought.
Edison: Six! You brought six luggages? How long are you coming here to stay? One year, two years or forever?
Lana: It’s none of your business right? Busybody!
Janice thought: What a rude and unreasonable person I had never seen in my entire life!
Lana: Hey! Raja, how come you know this group of morons here?
Pauline wanted to scold her but stopped by Madeline instead.
Pauline argued: But she is…
Seeing that Madeline would do the job, she shut her mouth up.
Madeline walked forward and slapped her on her face!!!
Now, everyone’s hair must be hanging in the air!
Madeline: You call who maroons? I think you yourself are the one? Although we first met, I already had really bad impression on you!
First, you treat us like invisible. Next, you are rude to our friend, Pauline. Then, you acting like a baby. And the luggage, why can’t you take the luggage yourself? You are big enough to take care of yourself already! And now you are so rude to us!!! Did we did something wrong to you? You are a childish, unreasonable and RUDE. THE MOST WORST PERSON I EVER SEEN!
The group dropped their jaws! They could believe their eyes that Madeline could be so angry! And the guys knew Lana’s temper; she would not let this off so easily. (Guys as in this case are referred to Brooklyn, Edison and Christopher. Jason didn’t know her at all. This is the first time they met.)
Lana started to cry!
Lana: Who the hell is she? Got the gut to scold me?
Madeline opened her mouth to speak but stopped by Brooklyn.
Brooklyn: Enough! I want it to stop at once!
Madeline was heartbroken and really sad. She pushed through the crowd and walked away. Her friends behind her called for her.
Janice: Wait up! Madeline!
Rachel, Janice, Pauline and Raja raced to her just before she boarded the taxi.
They went up the taxi together.
The girl finally caught up and catches her breath for a while.
She took in a long and deep breathing before starting to talk again.
“ I thought you couldn’t hear me. Finally I managed to catch up with you.”
Brooklyn: What you doing here? (Asking anxiously and taking a quick glance at Madeline to see if she is angry or anything.)
“Your mum said you are here in Spain so I come to give you a surprise. Aren’t you happy, boyfriend? “She spoke as she griped his arm.

Janice: Wait up! Madeline!
Rachel, Janice, Pauline and Raja raced to her just before she boarded the taxi.
They went up the taxi together.
After they boarded the taxi, Madeline broke into tears. Janice quickly took out tissue and gave them to her.
Madeline: Thanks.
Janice: It’s okay now. Don’t worry. We will accompany you.
Rachel and Raja agreed who are sitting in front.
Madeline just continued crying.
They were backed to the hotel now. Madeline’s friends accompanied her to her room just in case she did something silly.
Madeline: Thanks.
Janice: It’s okay now. Don’t worry. We will accompany you.
Rachel and Raja agreed who are sitting in front.
Madeline just continued crying.
They were backed to the hotel now. Madeline’s friends accompanied her to her room just in case she did something silly.
When they were at Madeline’s room, Madeline calmed down a little. Her friends were glad. Madeline finally said something since she had been keeping all quiet for the whole taxi ride.
Madeline: Sorry, girls to let you so worried about me. I think I’m all right now.
Janice: Really?
Madeline forced out a smile.
Raja: Okay, from what I had seen, Madeline, you really love Brooklyn huh?
Madeline sighed.
Madeline: Okay girls, I have an announcement to make.
Everyone was looking at her, anxious to know what she was going to say.
Madeline went to her suitcase and took out the jewellery box that Brooklyn gave it to her.
Madeline: This is what Brooklyn gave it to me last night.
Pauline: (Curious.) What is it?
Being really curious, she took it and opened it.
Rachel: Oh my goodness. That’s the world famous designer, William Josh Washington, design it and this set of jewellery only got one set of it. How he got it?
Madeline: Sorry, girls to let you so worried about me. I think I’m all right now.
Janice: Really?
Madeline forced out a smile.
Raja: Okay, from what I had seen, Madeline, you really love Brooklyn huh?
Madeline sighed.
Madeline: Okay girls, I have an announcement to make.

Rachel: Oh my goodness. That’s the world famous designer, William Josh Washington, design it and this set of jewellery only got one set of it. How he got it?
Madeline: Well, because he’s rich. It doesn’t matter now. I going to return it back to him.
Pauline: Wait. You are saying that… He gave it to you last night? But I thought…
Janice: Okay I lied.
Rachel: Janice! How can you lie again and again! You are getting worst! Oh my goodness. First are your parents then us. I’m so disappointed in you.
Janice: I’m really sorry.
Madeline: It’s not her fault. It’s just that I was just confused at that time but I’m clear now what kind of man he actually is.
Raja: Can someone tell me what actually happened? I don’t know anything about what you all are talking about. Have I missed out something?
Pauline: Oh Raja. We forgot all about you. Janice lied about this trip saying that it’s the school which…
The girls started to tell the whole story.
Raja: It seemed like I missed out a lot of things. Madeline then what happened to you and Brooklyn?
Madeline: Oh… Err…
Madeline thought: Well, it’s coming to the kissing part. Okay, I got to let them know eventually.
Madeline: Um… Yap, after he gave me the necklace and earrings. We kissed.
Madeline flashed back to how they kissed. She actually enjoyed it.
Madeline thought: What am I thinking? I love him? He definitely doesn’t love me. He broke my heart.
Rachel got so excited again: Really? So he likes you?
Madeline: I don’t know. He didn’t say. But I guess not because he has a girlfriend.
Pauline: But how come he gave such an expensive gift to you?
Madeline: I don’t know.
Raja: Maybe he really likes you?
Madeline: Yap right. That’s so funny. He already had a girlfriend and why is he doing all this stuff to attract attention? If he really loves me, I think he should tell the truth and I… was … I don’t know… Maybe I’m really sad. Well. To think about it, it was really silly. He is a playboy. Now, I knew it… I won’t be sad for anything and anybody now…
Janice: Hey! Come on, cheer up! Maybe things wasn’t the way you thought, maybe he had his reasons.
Madeline: What reason he would have? Anyway, he didn’t even say he like me, why would I be so silly to cry for him.
Raja: Um… But I can tell that you really loved him. You sure you can get over it.
Madeline: Well, it took time I guess. Stop talking about me now. What about you? Where have you been? Why you suddenly gone aboard when we were studying in secondary school?
Raja: Oh. That’s my dad’s company last minute decision. They wanted my dad to be the head of department in the company in America and took care of all the projects for five years.
Pauline: For five years! That’s long, and then your mum won’t miss him?
Raja: That’s the reason! My mum would miss him badly for even a day so my parents and I immigrate to America. Because they fear that I can’t take care of myself in Singapore.
Janice: By the way, how you get to know Rachel when you and her not the same secondary school and Junior College?
Raja: Well, there is Primary school my dear. Rachel and I were primary school best friends. She was the nicest person I had ever met! I was so fortunate to have such a good friend like her. But the sad thing is she moved house and we lost contract.
Pauline raised her eyebrows.
Pauline: Oh really? She is such a good friend.
Raja: Really. She is the best.
Raja who is very serious at times replied seriously this time. She can be real mad sometimes but Rachel to her is very important I guess. So she is very serious I guess.
Janice: Then how you get to know that Lana?
Raja: Oh. I knew her long time ago. Since we are kindergarten and she was my next-door neighbour.
Pauline: Oh my god! I’m so sad for you to know such a friend like her.
Raja: She can be a nuisance sometimes but she is very loyal once she decided that you are her friends. Well, one time in kindergarten, I got bullied by one of the boys; she went and hit the boy back till he bleeds badly.
Pauline: Wow. She is rough. What happened next?
Raja: Well, the teacher can’t do anything because if they angered Lana’s parents they won’t donate any more money to the kindergarten that was at that point of time really in need of money. The teacher tried to calm the boy’s parents. The parents felt really angry of course for that it was Lana in the wrong but the teachers said as if they had nothing wrong and they pushed the blame to their child. They were really angered and decided to transfer to another kindergarten.
Rachel: Oh! I remembered! You talked to me a lot of things about her but we didn’t get to know each other. Sigh, now we met. It’s been really bad.
Pauline: From what I heard, Lana was the type of girl who can’t be “touched.” She is untouchable.
Janice: Hey! You said like she is a monster that we must avoid.
Pauline: Well. Who knows? She may be a monster.
She started to act like a monster.
Everyone laughed including Madeline too.
Janice: She is so rude and unreasonable I wonder if she had any friends other than Raja.
Raja: Well, I’m her one and only true friend I guess. But when she was in polytechnic while I’m in junior college, we were not that close anymore. Maybe it’s because I’m too busy with my studies and I think she found her new friends who I know today is the two girls and the guys are studying the same polytechnic as her. Then yesterday, she just called me and asked me to accompany her to this trip.
Pauline: Well, more like order than ask I guess.
Rachel: So now, you are living in Singapore or America with cool and cute guys?
Raja: Hey! Rachel, what are you talking about? I’m not that type of person who flirts around with guys okay? By the way, I didn’t even get to meet cute guys when I didn’t even get to study there?
Everyone was shocked and wanted to know more.
Pauline: Huh? Why? What happened?
Raja: Well, after I left, Lana was really upset when I immigrated to America. She threatened that she would commit suicide if I don’t come back fast. So eventually I came back alone because my dad could leave his job and my mum couldn’t leave him too. So, I studied here as well which I think I felt better. But I couldn’t get in the secondary school, which I initially studied with you girls. Because they said it’s full. So, I studied the same secondary school as Lana. And my parents were still there as they had already gotten used to the condition in America and don’t feel like moving again.
Pauline: Full? Are you kidding me? That school has a shortage of students!
Janice: Then how come you don’t get in contract with us when you are in Singapore?
Raja: I tried by writing letters, sending emails, through phones. You all didn't reply, so I thought you all forgotten me.
Janice: Hey! You are our best friends! How could we forget you so easily? Maybe in a hundred years! But I didn't receive your emails or letters. You called us right? I didn't move house so my house number doesn't change.
Madeline, Pauline: Me either.
Raja: That's impossible. I did send the letters and emails. I tried calling you all but it was engaged.
Janice sensing something was wrong said: Let me check your phone.
Raja handed over her cell phone.
Janice looked through her phonebook. Her house number, Pauline and Madeline's house phone and cell phone too were wrong.
Janice: It's all wrong. No wonder you can't call us.
Raja: Maybe my phone spoilt already. It's been years already, need to change my phone.
Pauline: Wait. You are saying that… He gave it to you last night? But I thought…
Janice: Okay I lied.
Rachel: Janice! How can you lie again and again! You are getting worst! Oh my goodness. First are your parents then us. I’m so disappointed in you.

Raja: Maybe my phone spoilt already. It's been years already, need to change my phone.
Rachel: Wait, I got notebook. Raja, log in your account and let me check why we can’t receive your emails.
Raja logged into her email account and Rachel found that the girls’ email addresses are blocked.
Rachel: Raja, you blocked us, no wonder you can’t send email to us and you can’t receive emails from us too.
Raja: I didn’t block you girls.
Raja stopped and thought for a while and realised something.
Raja: I know what happened already. Lana changed the numbers in my phone, she used my phone before and she knew the password to my email account and she was the one who offered to help me to send the letters.
Everyone in the room gasped.
Pauline: Madeline, I think you are in deep trouble!
Madeline: What you mean I’m in deep trouble?
Pauline: You slapped her? Remember? She will get back at you.
Madeline: Yap right. I ready for it. I’m not scared of her.
Janice: Yap, don’t worry. If she bullied you, we will boycott her.
Everyone agreed except Raja.
Rachel: What’s the matter?
Raja: Lana is my friend and I’m her only girlfriend.
Pauline: So? She can get any friend she could with money just like the two girls who help her to carry her luggage and she prevented you from contracting us. If she really treats you as her friend, she would not do these things to you.
Raja: Sigh… I don’t know…
Janice: I think you are too stressed up. Well, you can enjoy yourself here with us.
Raja: Sure thanks. Oh haven’t congratulated you that you and Jason were already a couple.
Janice: Thanks!
Pauline: So where are you all going later since it’s early in the afternoon?
Rachel: Well, have lunch of course!
--------------------------------------------
They had lunch together and went out together. They were having fun and they chatted about their childhood memories or rather teenage memories that the things they did together.
After that, it was already in the evening.
Pauline: Mad, can we go your room and watch “The Princess Diaries 3?” (It is VCDs that they bought along the way.) Since your room had a big projector.
Madeline: Sure. Why not?
So the girls went back to the hotel and to Madeline’s room to watch the VCDs that they had bought. They watched one after another. Until eventually, they are all tired out and wanted a rest.
Pauline: Okay. I give up. I can’t hold on any longer. My eyes are giving away. By the way, have any of you thought of anywhere to go tomorrow.
Madeline: I’m going back to Singapore!
Everyone was surprised at her sudden at her announcement.
Pauline: Why?
Madeline: Because I don’t want to see that guy. I hate him.
Janice: You should listen to his explanation. Maybe he got his reasons. You can’t just run away. It doesn’t help neither of you and him!
Pauline: Or you are just being scared that his girlfriend will take revenge on you?
Madeline: Why would I scare of her? My mind is set and no more arguments!
Rachel: Okay, fine, since you so positive about it.
------------------------------------------
The girls left Madeline’s room.
Janice: I hope she make a right choice.
Raja: Well, she’s our friend right? So we got to support her no matter what decision she made.
Janice: Hope she won’t regret for what she had decided.
Pauline: Hey! I’m kind of hungry. Want some supper?
They called Madeline but she said she was tired and told the girls to go ahead.
The girls had supper in a restaurant that is opened for 24 hours in the hotel.
After they had supper, the girls went back to their respective rooms while Janice on one hand still worried about Madeline, on the other she did not want to go back to the room so fast to face Jason after the incident that happened this morning at the airport. So Janice walked up to Madeline’s room just to check out for her again. On her way, she saw…
Pauline: Madeline, I think you are in deep trouble!
Madeline: What you mean I’m in deep trouble?
Pauline: You slapped her? Remember? She will get back at you.
Madeline: Yap right. I ready for it. I’m not scared of her.
