At school the second week after holidays just began, as usual school sucked. Everything did! I really disliked my classmates... I felt they were all piss-offs. There was only one reason I came to school for... and that was to see Evelyn. Every once in a while I could see her across the block flicking her brown hair to the side... it was so elegant. Everything was elegant about her. I longed to just touch her smooth skin and hold her hand... and never let go.

During recess, I saw Evelyn eating at one of the tables, I decided to join her and continue from where we last left off... Hi. As I got seated I could see she smiling at me and acknowledging that I was here. I smiled back... and there goes her giggle. Shit. I started to ask her about her classes and how she was doing in her studies. I found out she was doing the same work as I was. I tried to think of something to bring us closer together... Thats it!

"Hey, maybe we could share our class's ideas with each other and then we could sound like total geniuses when we tell it to our own class!" I commented.

"Sure, why not? Are you free on Saturday? Maybe we could meet at Pastamania for dinner and discuss the class ideas." she replied.

I was stunned. Just... shocked. I began to blush... I managed to force out of my mouth these words, "Er... Sure... o-okay, I'll see y-you there then."

Great! Now I've got at least something to look forward to. I needed to go to the washroom... and that was when my second happiness came along. As I stepped in I heard groans coming from one of the cubicles... I finished what I needed to do... but before I could step out of the door, an all too familiar voice croaked, "Hey erm... could you help me get some toilet paper?" I recognised the voice almost immediately. "Hello Raj," I muttered with a wicked smile on my face. I bolted out of the washroom and headed straight to class. I began scribbling on the white board and drawing pictures of Raj having dirty underwear and I wrote four big words on the board... 'Raj's ass has shit'.

"Hi..." I began.

"Er... Hi?" she replied, feeling awkward at the sudden randomness of my words.

I had barely begun our conversation when a China-looking policeman walked up to me and said, "You broke law, come..." as he held my hand with a firm grip and walked toward his car.

Evelyn was shocked to see me being dragged away by a policeman. I was cursing the policeman under my breath... just when I made my first move... sigh. I mounted his car and we were on our way to the police station.

My parents were called down to the police station and they discussed about me unknowingly ramming into a signboard as I flew off my bike. This was dumb. I don't understand why I had to be detained for this.

#Yea, this is dumb! k3k3.#

I was finally allowed to go home. On my way home in my parents' car, my parents were cursing the policeman too... Hey what can I say? Like son like parents, huh? About how dumb he was to arrest me for accidentally smashing into a signboard... whats more was that I was already hurt. By the time I reached home, I was really tired. I collapsed into bed and drifted away to my wonderland.

In my dream, Evelyn was all grown-up in her 20s and she was in a bride's gown. She was looking into my eyes with her elegant smile. I held her hands and gazed into her eyes. Pity the dream was not a reality... yet.

"Get up! Punkass!", Robert shouted as he jumped on my bed like a fag.

"Get off!" I hissed. He quickly got off my bed sensing my anger. I wanted to go to Evelyn's house today and tell her about what happened, but after thinking it through again, I'd better not. I'd probably just embarrass myself infront of her with my dumb smile again. Today, we had an omelette and fried bacon for breakfast, topped with fries covered with chilli powder and a sausage filled with cheese.

I sat at the door step and gazed at the houses across my street, I've never noticed it but this place was really peaceful. I was beginning to enjoy the quietness of nature as the breeze blew against my face... and just as I thought today was a good day... I heard Raj's bicycle bell ringing at me and disturbing the peace of the neighbourhood as he cycled up to me. "Damn it," I cursed. Raj, was as usual being annoying... I already had enough irritation from Robert but here comes the other nuisance. Maybe everyone whose name starts with 'R' is an ass.

When school reopened, I met Evelyn on the train ride to school. I was more brave this time and asked her where she went... she said she went overseas. Figured... She started asking about my arm and what happened at the police station. I began to talk more easily with Evelyn... well... at least about how much of a dumb boob the policeman was...

When we reached school we seperated and headed to our different classrooms. Everyone was laughing at me as I stepped into class. One of my classmates shouted, "Hey, it's Jeffrey the sign destroyer!". News spread fast in my school. I saw a bunch of classmates crowding around Raj's table. "Damn you, Raj!", I shouted as I stomped toward his seat. I raised my clenched fist and immediately the class quietened down and everyone got back to their seats. Did I mention that I had a reputation in school for being the one that packs the most punch? And that Raj is the one that spreads the news around school the first thing school reopens? He's the one with all the stories and others' secrets and embarrassments... One day... I'm going to expose his secrets and spread rumours about him...

"Get up, you fool!" Robert shouted.

"What's your problem? Don't you understand the concept of beauty sleep?" I retorted.

"Oh, shut up! It's time for school!" Robert replied.

"Yea, right! The holidays won't end till the day after tomorrow, you douche!" I hissed.

The holidays were coming to an end and Robert had already been even more irritating than he already was during the holidays. I figured I could go cycling... Holidays were boring. I climbed out of bed and changed out of my pyjamas.

I could hear the clanking of the plates and I knew Mum was preparing breakfast. As I walked down the stairs, I could hear Robert chanting, "Food! Food! Food! Food!..". Annoyed I was but I was too sleepy to care. I sat beside him and looked around for my cutlery.

"Whats for breakfast, Mum?" I asked.

"Stuff... like your favourite stuff. Pancakes!" she shouted from the kitchen counter.

I waited impatiently knowing that I would be eating pancakes for breakfast.

After eating, I grabbed stepped out of the house, grabbed my bike and started cycling around the neighborhood. "Hey, Jeffrey!" a familiar voice yelled from behind.

It was Raj, cycling a few metres away from me. He was my classmate in the previous year and he lives in the same area as me, thats why I him so often. I was actually hoping that I wouldn't see him today.

"Hey..." I murmured. I started cycling faster to lose him, but my attempt was proved futile when he asked me to slow down. I was trying my best not to show how irritated I was at him. We were cycling at the same speed now... "Great...".

As I cycled past the school, I saw her.

Evelyn was the most attractive girl in my school. I haven't really talked to her at all since she joined the school when she was Secondary 2. She and I were the same age.

She smiled at me... I was shocked... to think she actually noticed me. I smiled back with the best smile I could make. She laughed. Sigh... I looked so dumb with that smile of mine. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into a tree. I flew off my bike and hit the road like a ragdoll. "Nice..." I murmured as I lost consciousness.

When I regained consciousness, I was at the park, lying on the grass, Evelyn was sitting a few metres away from me, leaning against a tree. I got up and saw that my hand was bandaged. I glanced at Evelyn. She must've bandaged it for me. "Thanks..." I mumbled, thinking she wouldn't hear.

"You're welcome" she said as she smiled at me. I couldn't stand her smile, it was so... elegant... so Evelyn-ish. I blushed and I guess she saw it because the next thing I heard was her giggling.

I wanted so much to talk to her... but I knew I would stutter and sound so stupid... still it was worth a shot.

"Hi...", I began.
