Fight For Love?

I was sure that she would despise me for running away. Teresa would have no idea that I was doing it for her. I did not want to be in the same school as she anymore. I had lost and Harry had won. The best thing for me to do was walk away. I was surprised at Harry though. Of all the rotten things to do, Harry had cut in on me. He knew I was crazy about Teresa. The whole thing started out with him helping me to get her, since I was shy and he was not.

When I saw him with her in Starbucks, I was flabbergasted. I did what most men would have done;I dropped Harry from my list of friends. Then when he had tried to pretend he had done nothing wrong, I told him to his face what I thought of him. That riled him.Now Harry wanted a fight after the lecture next evening.Why? Apparently he wanted to impress her. I was tougher and would have cracked his skull with my bare fists, but I was not going to bash up a friend. I felt that that would be uncivilised. I decided to run.

The principal was surprised at my decision to quit the diploma course smack in the middle of it. I explained that I would continue the course in some other evening class. He nodded after he realised that my mind was made up. That very day, I enrolled in a school in Pasir Ris, on the other side of town. Everyone must have been disappointed that the fight did not take place. Aaron called and told me that I was a coward. I said, "OK,"and hung up on him. A few others rang up too to tell me how disappointed they were over my running away.I just scratched them off my list of friends.

Still, I could not get her off my mind. I had imagined my life with her for months. I tried to distract myself with my studies and spent a lot of time with Shirley, my adorable baby niece. Then a week later I saw Teresa near Pasir Ris MRT station. I stopped dead in my tracks,to let her go ahead. Then I went into the school through a round-about way. The lecturer was early and looking at his transparencies. I sat down and began to read the notes. I was feeling uneasy though.

I was deeply absorbed in my thoughts when someone touched my shoulder. I turned casually and found myself looking into the smiling face of Teresa. I started. “Hi,” she said and sat down. I was shaking from head to toe. I did not know what to say. “I am glad you ran away,” she said gently.”You have enrolled in this class?” I asked, throwing grammar to the winds. She nodded with a cheeky smile. “I wanted to be in the same class as you,” she said shyly. I looked at her quizzically.”Harry wanted to fight with you because he was jealous.I told him I was not interested in him and that I became his friend only because I wanted to meet you.” Everything became clear now.

The lecture began and I looked up at the screen.I felt a soft shoulder leaning on mine. I leaned back to feel more of the gentle shoulder and the gentle soul that owned it. That was the only night that I did not understand even one word of what the lecture was all about.
