The Romance

She said, "if you love me, you will come online at 8 tonight."

He said, "yes, I will do it for you, see you on MSN."

So he logged online at approximately 8pm, only to prove her he loves her.

How sweet, they are only children.

He is Terry.

Terry is my student, cute, sweet and innocent. I have been teaching him English for 2 years now. He is 12 this year and he has a girlfriend named Starrie who is in a different class, whom according to him, is his one true love.

Terry really loves talking to me, he likes gossiping and he tells me every little secret. Whenever there is something juicy, I can always count on him for the information and details.

Like he told me about the two children that kissed in school and was so badly punished.

Like he also told me about the stolen cash who was believed to be stolen by his classmate according to the CCTV.

He is really in love with Starrie.

I remember, some time in March or April, he was a little depressed, he told me he felt that Starrie no longer loved him and might be "cheating on" him.

I wonder what that phrase means to children!!

So I told him he must love her a lot and he must show her how much he loves her every day.

I was being sarcastic, of course, what a bad ass I am.

But apparently they made up, as a month later he became a so-happy-in-love boy again.

From then on, whenever I see him, I will ask him if Starrie is still in love with him.

If she isn't, well, not my problem.

He was so happy one afternoon during my class. When he finished the work I gave him, he started to tell me this "sweet little thing" between him and Starrie.

Apparently, he went to see Starrie in her class during his recess on Saturday.

Her classmates gave him a bar of chocolate, then they asked him to feed her.

So he handed her the bar...

That's not what they wanted, so they asked him to feed her again, but with his mouth.

Terry, being the sweet and innocent type, of course, put the chocolate bar in his mouth without hesitation...

Starrie, not being the sweet and innocent type, bit the bar at the other end without hesitation...

Wow, I was thinking, if that happened when I was a child, I would "at least" pretended to be shy before I bit it.

You know, a "don't want lah" or two wouldn't hurt.

I am sure you would be extremely surprised with Starrie's chocolate-eating speed. Before Terry could have his second or third bite, she finished her half.

Then I asked Terry if he asked Starrie to carry on eating it before their lips met, he said no.

He then claimed he ate the other half of the bar without Starrie's mouth on the other side.

So I made fun of him for "chewing" something with her saliva on it.

Believe it or not but he is REALLY happy to be eating that bit with her saliva on!

He couldn't stop smiling, he told me it was like the best feeling.

Then, I asked him if he had ever kissed Starrie, he's really sweet and innocent, he said no, as he doesn't have a good environment doing so, they only see each other in school.

So I asked if he thought about kissing her, he said yes of course, it's a "very incredibly sweet sweet sweet feeling".

Damn, these kids don't know anything about kisses.

Only one word can be related to your first kiss, not sweet, but "saliva".

I wonder how long these romance will last, but it doesn't matter, as they had already tasted their piece of one sweet love.

Though I don't have much faith, but I wish them the best.
