3. Beauty

Alarm is waking me up again...

Thinking that I have to go to school again, and sit beside Li Yun Shen, I suddenly feel so tired of all these. And for fuck's sake today is just the second day, and I am already so stressed with this, how am I going to go through this year?

Ok, I still have to face it. I force myself to wake up, and keep thinking that today would be better than yesterday. But how good will it be? I don't know. The best I am hoping is, I am switched to 4sc3.

After I arrive at school, I walk on the corridor, slowly... like a zombie. I don't know what is in my mind at the moment, maybe I am sleeping while walking. There are a few students on the corridor, heading to their own classes.

Suddenly, someone taps my shoulder. This time I do not turn and see who is it immediately, because yesterday when I turned I saw the fucker. So I do not want the same thing to happen now. I continue to walk, until....

"Excuse me.." a damn sweet, lovely voice is what I heard. Oh damn it, that is like.. the voice of an angel!

Then I turn to see who is this angel who wake me up from my deep sleep.

But then, I think I had better continue walking and ignore this "angelic voice". Now, my dream has become nightmare. Standing there is a girl, a damn fat and ugly girl whose eyes are squeezed by adipose until they appear as two lines. "Oh SHIT", I scream in my mind.

"You are the one who sit beside Li Yun Shen, right?" damn, because of he again my shoulder is tapped.

"Can you help me give him this? Thank you!" The fat girl gives me a letter, and then run away.

WTF! My life is spoiled since the existance of Li Yun Shen. Even a girl like that also write love letter to... I admit, the most handsome guy in the school. Heh, later if I pass this letter to our disciplinary teacher Mr Fletcher then habislah you.

But I am not so evil. Just become a pigeon and send letter only, not a difficult thing to do.

I continue my journey to my class, but just when I take my second step, someone, again, taps my shoulder. It is not that I am lack of creativity, but really, these people just like to whack my shoulder. I don't know why, but maybe my shoulder has words on it writing "hit me"?

"Excuse me..." Okay, now I don't dare to define this as an angelic voice or devil voice. What I can confirm is this is a girl's voice. Before I decide what to do, she asks..

"Can I know where are the form 1 classes?"

People nowadays... after the existance of GPS they cannot differentiate direction without it.

"There, first floor." I point at form 1 block, without even turning and looking at her.

"Thanks." She thanks me and walks pass me. At that moment, I look at her (I want to know how that direction-blur girl look like) and I got shocked of my life.

ANGEL!

"Shit!" I scream in my mind again. This time it's really shit. I don't know from where I got the gut, I run after her and call her.

"Hey, I never describe how you can get there, you know how to go there meh?"

She stops, and turns.

The girl in front of my eyes, is the angel I have been looking for since the day I was born. I am stunned. I never see any girl as pretty as her. She looks elegant, at the same time she is cute, and lively. She is just... pretty! Just like an angel in the human world.

I think I look idiot at that moment, because her expression looking at me is like someone looking at one mad fellow. But who cares? As long as I get to see an angel, I don't care how she thinks of me.

"Come I bring you to your class. What class are you in huh?"

"1A5." (This is how our school name the form 1 to 3 classes. 1A5 means the fifth class in form 1.)

"Oh, I was in that class too when I was in form 1." Whatever shit topic also I can crap just to have chance to talk with an angel.

I purposely walk very slowly, just to have more time together with her. We chat all the way, which makes me feel so damn good. Until she asks me...

"Can we walk faster?"

This is damn potong. My beating heart stops, my dream ends... In the end, I am just a tourguide, she talks to me just because I have been talking non stop and she is just replying me. When we reach her class, she smiles, and thanks me. The smile makes my heart melt... Luckily I still have a bit consciousness, and before I leave I ask her name.

"I am Huang Xiao Qian."

If you are Xiao Qian, I will be Ning Cai Chen, and then Li Yun Shen would be Black Mountain Devil. (This is from Xiao Qian, one of the stories from Liao Zhai Zhi Yi, or Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.)

From the conversation this morning, I got to know that Xiao Qian didn't come to school yesterday. No wonder I kept hearing people discussing about there is a beauty coming to our school but never see her. And now, after i see her, I start planning how to go after her. But when I reach my class, and see the ever-smiling, forever-busy fellow, I know that whatever plans I have they would fail in the end.

But the ugly fatty gave me encouragement. If one girl like that also dare to write love letter to Li Yun Shen, then why should I scared to try?

I go to my seat, and give the letter to Li Yun Shen. Mana tau he does not even look at it, and straight use it as a fan. Good, at least I don't need to listen to him telling what is writen in the letter.

Recess time is when I get myself freed from sufferings. I will run to 4sc3 and meet up with Jay Chou, Chen Yong Cheng and Lin Shi Ming and go to the canteen together. The first topic when they see me is... the legendary beauty. It seems that they haven't seen her yet. Looks like I am much more luckier than them. Of course, I don't want to tell them what happened this morning, if not they may think that I am selfish for not bringing them to see her together.

There are already a lot of students queueing at the canteen when we reach there. And we as usual, force Lin Shi Ming to go and line up to buy food, while we wait beside the queue to take the food. This is why, when you find a friend, you not only need to find a friend who can chat with, but also a friend who can be bullied.

When we are happily eating, one person who I don't want to see come and interrupt us.

"Wow, Leehom, Jay Chou, Chen Yong Cheng and Lin Shi Ming! I can join you all or not?" Li Yun Shen says.

"Eh? It's Li Yun Shen! How come today you are so free and need to join us pulak?" Chen Yong Cheng asks.

"Oh, because I just fart there, and then all the girls go there already. So I am now free." fuck you.

Before we agree to let him join us, he already takes one chair and sit together with us. His mouth start talking again as his ass sit on the chair.

"Just now I went to form 1 there and saw the beauty. Walao eh, this girl is really really pretty and really deserved to be called the beauty of the school! I am not joking you know? I just wanted to do screening on all the newcomers, and when I walked pass her class, my eyes were locked at her. Oh myGod, she will always be my Goddess.."

After listening to him, Jay Chou, Chen Yong Cheng and Lin Shi Ming swallow their saliva, Jay Chou some more got choked and cough non stop.

"Really or not? I think you just bull shit only kot?" I try to potong him.

"Of course it's true. You know why the girls are not around me? Because they know they cannot compare themselves with the beauty, so they don't have face to surround me."

"Usually I am the one who is chased by the others. Now this is the first time I wanna go after someone. First time le, feeling so nervous.." WTF, listen to him also stressed. The trio already dreaming there, I think if this morning I never meet Xiao Qian I too would be dreaming now as well.

"Ok lah, don't want to kacau you all already. Bye bye." Good, don't ever come back.

After Li Yun Shen has gone for about 3 minutes, then only these 3 fellows come back to reality.

"Hey, did you hear that? Even he also praising the girl, surely the girl is pretty!" says Lin Shi Ming.

"Yea, he never praised any girl before." Jay Chou says.

"Come on, let us go to form 1 there and have a look, ok?" Chen Yong Cheng gives this stupid idea.

While they are discussing what to do, I have already finished my food. I think they don't need to eat already for now, and going to form 1 is kind of a sure thing. But this morning I just became a gentleman, and now I become a horny bastard? So my image built will be destroyed? But then if I don't want to go, I don't know when will I see her again.

Xiao Qian, what should I do?

Before I can decide what to do, they already stand up and heading to form 1 block. What else can I do? I follow them, and when we are approaching the form 1 block, my heart beat getting faster and faster.

Jay Chou who lead the way is already on the stairs. Just when I still don't know what to do, I suddenly think of in every movie the characters would use sunglasses to hide their face! Ok, now I am going to try to use my magic to take out a sunglasses. Come on Sifu, bless me!

And luckily, this time I succeed again, and I have my sunglasses in hand now. Because I walk at the back, they do not know something has happened. I wear the sunglasses, and follow them walk through class by class (because they still don't know which class Xiao Qian is in.)

And when they see Xiao Qian, three of them get stunned. Actually I am also stunned la. So the four of us stand at the corridor, and when we stand there for too long the teacher teaching inside feels something fishy is happening outside. So when she comes out and checks, then only we run away.

Bye, Xiao Qian...

(Form 1 to 3 have their recess earlier than us, that is why when we are having recess they are already having class.)

Recess time finally finish. Before our teacher comes intothe class, we see Mr Fletcher and the teacher teaching in 1A5 just now walk pass our class. Before I know what is happening, I see Mr Fletcher bringing Jay Chou, Chen Yong Cheng and Lin Shi Ming. Looks like in this whole new year, he has imported new weapon - handcuffs! Last time he just had his 2cm-diameter cane walking around, and now a new weapon? The trio got cuffed together, and then the teacher comes into our class and look around, then goes away.

Then I understand already what is happening. Mr Fletcher and the teacher is here to catch four of us. Luckily that time I have sunglasses to cover me, and now she didn't recognise me. Now, my friends, please don't mention my name in front of Mr Fletcher. I have been treating you guys so well, and being caught is not my fault. So please...

Due to the failure to find the 4th suspect, there is a spot check carried out by Mr Fletcher himself. Well, this is the first time in the history I see him doing this shit by himself. I know, he wants to find the student with sunglasses. But then I am not so stupid to keep the sunglasses and waiting to be caught. Even if I don't know magic, I would throw it away, or just put it into Li Yun Shen's bag. So I use magic to make it disappear. In the end, Mr Fletcher also fail to find the weapon of evidence, so he just brings my three heroic friends away. God bless you, my friends..

Li Yun Shen then asks me, "Hey Leehom, why your friends kena caught? And how you escape?"

I act like I don't know anything.

When the school finishes, usually students will go to the pondok near the gate there, either to wait for parents or bus. Last time, the scenery here would be girls surrounding Li Yun Shen. Sometimes there would be couples sitting together, sometimes sharing an ice cream. But now, there is new thing here. When Xiao Qian approaches the pondok, guys start to surround her. WTF? All also so thick face?

Although I don't go there, I can clearly see that she is afraid. I really feel like going there and chase them away.

But, the hero has come...

Li Yun Shen pushes away the girls who surround him, and then pushes away the guys surrounding Xiao Qian, and talk to her. I don't know what they are talking, but I see Xiao Qian nod her head, and then follow Li Yun Shen go out of the school. Now, besides those who are living in their own sweet world with their partner, every girls look at Xiao Qian and every guys look at Li Yun Shen fiercely. Of course, I am one of them.

Rationality tells me that going after Xiao Qian is... really damn hard.

Well, until I go back home, I still never see Jay Chou they all. I don't know what happen to them, I just hope everything is fine for them.
