Story 1: Ride of a Lifetime

Chapter 1

It was a normal Monday morning in March for Andrew Tan, a normal 19 years old polytechnic student living in Boon Lay. He was walking to the MRT station to get to school. The weather was not really very optimistic that morning since the heavy rain has been going on the previous night. Plugging one end of his headphones to his iPod and the other end to his ears, he walked briskly to the station with his umbrella. He took a glance to the sky and saw only dark clouds. He then took another glance at his watch. 8:35 am was all that was shown on his Casio watch. He thought to himself ‘Crap! I’m going to be late meeting Hazel.’ He hastens his footsteps as he went round the bend and saw the MRT station not far away.

Meanwhile, at the MRT station and also listening to music on her iPod, Hazel was folding her arms and taking quick glances at her watch from time to time. ‘Now I’m going to be late as well. I’m going to scold him when he reaches.’ she thought. Well, Hazel Lim is a classmate and friend of Andrew’s and they also graduated from the same secondary school. She was a rather beautiful lady around 1.7m tall and has very fair skin. She wears a pair of frameless glasses and ties her long black hair up in a ponytail. In her hands are a couple of books related to biochemistry and hydrocarbons. Andrew has for a long time had a crush on her. However, what he does not know is that Hazel also had a crush on him for quite some time. She looked at her watch again. ‘8:40 am already!!! Where’s that Andrew!!!’

Finally, Andrew made it to the MRT station slightly drenched. He kept his umbrella in his bag while walking up the steps into the station. He looked around the station, finding for Hazel. Finally, he found her staring at him sulkily in front of 7-Eleven. He walked towards her looking slightly guilty and with a cheeky smile on his face. 

She looked at him and said in an annoying tone: “Walao eh!!! Why are you so late? By the time we reached school, we’ll definitely miss the important parts of the lecture!!!” 

Andrew looked at her and replied in a rather relaxed tone: “Sorry lor!!! I treat you lunch, okay???” 

She looked less sulky but her answer still carried a tinge of annoyance in it: “Okay, fine. It’s your treat later on after the lesson,” She then looked at her watch. “Shit! 8:45am already! Come on! Let’s go or we’ll be missing more things!” 

They walked to the turnstiles and tapped their Ez-Link cards. The fare gates opened and they quickly went up on the escalators to the platform. 

The weather now did not seem so gloomy anymore. The rain starts to stop and the rain clouds did not block the sunlight any longer. 

That's the end of Chapter 1 everyone!!!! Chapter 2 would be published on Saturday!!! Till then!!!!
