The Other Girl

So I don't know why but Terry looked really sad and buu when I entered his class last Thursday.

I was very naughty, I confiscated 2 storybooks of a student, the book's so bloody interesting so I read it secretly when the students are finishing the work I gave them.

Terry, sitting beside me always, had his head really close to mine and read it with me.

I looked at him and I took out the other book of the same series and I lent it to him.

He opened the book, thought for a few seconds and he stuck his head really closed to mine again... and offered to tell me a secret.

Secret?? I LOVE SECRETS!!!!

This time he did not even ask me not to tell anyone!! Either he really trusts me or he thinks I am beyond hope!

So he told me, one girl in his class told her friend she likes Terry.

Or perhaps, she told her she's in love, I don't know the exact term, you know, kids are full of surprises.

Apparently kids can't keep secrets, if not, Terry wouldn't have known that.

Then I popped him so many questions in excitement!! Life is oh so full of joy!

"How do you feel towards her love?"
"How did you response?"
"Will you tell Starrie?"
"Do you secretly think about this girl very often?"
"Do you think your love with Starrie might still be the same after this?"
"Do you think Starrie might get jealous over this little incident?"
"Do you think Starrie will be heartbroken and she will want to break up with you because of this?"
"Do you feel like you have to love Starrie more than usual in order to make her feel that you don't like the other girl?"
"If you and Starrie are not dating, do you think you will accept her?"

He opened his eyes wide, totally stunned by my questions, he did not expect so much.

Damn, I am my mum!!

I did not even bother if he thought about cheating, Terry is sweet and innocent, of course, he's not a grown-up man.

Then today when I was in his class, he was staring at me, like he had a crush on me. But I know he had something he wanted to share with me and he wondered how.

So finally, he opened his mouth..
"Teacher Hu, let me ask you a question, if you have a crush on somebody and your crush did something that annoyed you very much, will you still have a crush on him?"

Wow, that reminds me, it's been awhile since I last "had a crush" on somebody.

So I told him, it really depends, sometimes of course if what he did was too much she would stop her crush for him; if it was something minor, I seriously doubt so.

... and I asked him what horrible thing he did to her, I cannot link somebody sweet like Terry to do something rather unpleasant.

He told me, oh, when he was trying to return her a book, he threw it to her instead of handing it properly to her.

That's it????

He told me she kept staring at him, he was totally uncomfortable.

He then asked me how to avoid her staring at him.

I told him to take some papers and paste it all over his face.

He then asked me how to look at things in this case.

I told him make sure he punched 2 holes to see and 1 hole to breathe.

He also asked me for my opinion on how to stop her crush, he wanted me to suggest ways to annoy her.

I said kiss her lah, he was totally stunned.

Hey, that's REALLY one of the best ways to put me off!!

He then lectured me we had to save our very first kiss to the one we love the most.

I laughed out immediately, dear lord oh dear lord...

My first kiss was to somebody I "liked" but did not like so much.

So let me get this straight, if you were in love with somebody now you found out you loved your ex more, you should knock on his door to give him your first kiss??

WAHAHAHAHAHA, totally unbelievable...

I then told him not to have too much hope for his first kiss, it's nothing that pleasant.

I then asked him if he would try to fall in love with the other girl, he said no, he IS to be faithful to his girlfriend and nobody should not be in love with more than one person.

So I suggested him to be in love with half Starrie half the other girl so in total, he's only in love with one person.

Men are good doing that anyway.

He then claimed the other girl is not beautiful, not good in her studies nor rich, I didn't know money is a criteria.

He seemed pretty bothered.

Good luck to him!
