“It will be over very soon” Ron whispered
into my ears.
I still feel
the tingling sensation from his breaths whenever he is close to me. People may think that we are newly love birds
but indeed we have been seeing each other for almost 2 years. It all began from the physical education
class.
My parents told me that I have been
quite clumsy since the day I started walking.
And no I am not an idiot, but a bit of adjustment to my motoring co-ordination would be very helpful. That
afternoon I came into the sports hall with the anticipation to be a bit more
active in order to improve my strength.
So when Mr Ross asked for volunteers to go on court my hands shot up
instantaneously. I am not a fan of
netball but just hitting the ball would not be too hard would it?
Before I even
had a chance to show my skills off, I heard a bang and laughter erupted from
the side benches. That is when I realised
I am flat-faced on the floor by tripping on my shoelaces. Ronald my classmate helped me up and we started
to hang out since then.
“I am going to miss you so much” I whined
“Don’t worry, I promise I will call you
everyday” he caressed my tangled hair.
Although I don’t have smooth and silky hair like Angela but the feeling
of being touched by Ron made me feel like I possess the best hair in the world.
It is the
Christmas break and Ron has to go to Auckland to visit his sick grandma. We already have planned to take a road trip to the
South Coast to celebrate our final exams before entering college but everything
have to be on hold because his sudden family issues.
“I love you” he mouthed softly as he entered
through the custom gate. The warmth from
his embrace still lingered on my shoulders but somehow I just felt quite empty as I
watched his figure walked further away from me.
“I LOVE YOU” I screamed after him but I
guess he could no longer hear my pleaded sadness. A couple of people just looked at me like a
lost puppy.
As the sound of
the plane took off I left the empty airport with a heavy heart. Here goes my lonely summer...
