Boy Meets Girl as you all know from the previous post is just another typical story of Boy and Girl and their intertwined lives during these 360 or so days, told through the eyes of someone who knows Boy.
Boy Meets Girl (Part 2)
It all started with a little spark known as friendship, where 2 innocent souls stand side by side and awkwardly and shyly ask 'Hey do you want to be friends?'. Boy struck up a friendship with Girl, and the days together was filled with joy and laughter. Somehow or rather, Boy always knew that his side of friendship has another little element and that element is 'Like'.
Soon though things took a turn for the strange when Girl knew about Boy's feelings, she will first be annoyed and try to push him away, even changing her seat in class, but their friendship never did fell apart, in fact, it spiraled into a destination where no one can explain or even put a sign to it, if friendship is like the Earth itself and Love is like Heaven, then their relationship is somewhere between Earth and Heaven, in the sea of white clouds dotted amongst the clear blue sky, the annoying yet wonderful part of being half friends and half lovers. Where there is a reluctance to push friendship fully into another level.
It has become a routine for Boy to go home, log on his Windows Messenger just to wait for Girl to be online, or to clutch his phone as though it was his only anchor to reality while he's spinning of into a place of dreams waiting for Girl to message him. In the midst of all these, there still was time in Boy's life to prepare for his examinations, miraculously. Another thing that became routine in his life, is to care for Girl always, with each passing day the boundaries between friendship and love get more and more blurred, like chalk lines on a sidewalk drawings, only this time, the chalk lines are between their hearts.
Could this be the happy ending between Boy and Girl, the simple love blossoming out of friendship? Alas it was not to be, as Fate had other plans for these two people. "Don't be so close to me" was frequently thrown at Boy's face every time they got closer, Girl for her own reasons didn't like this sort of relationship with Boy. Thus, she kept hurting Boy by telling him that she doesn't like him being so caring and so on. However, what not many people know is that, while she says that a little bit of her dies inside to, and in the privacy of her own room, she cries, for the boy she could never love perhaps? No one knows. The thing is with girls is that, we love to act like we're tough, but in reality we're just another half boiled egg, when you crack our exterior, inside is all soft. That's girls. She would rather hurt in the realms of her own world, she would rather take on the challenges in life whether she can cope or not, than depend on Boy. She will tell Boy that she wants her own space and is not use on depending on him, in her mind, she cannot give Boy what he wants even if he has already made clear he doesn't expect anything of her, thus she would rather him be happy with someone else, than to be with her, but Boy will always be there no matter what, all she has to do is turn back to look and he will be there support her, by her side as her friend, or at the back of the scenes as her supporter. Boy will be there, and all she has to do is reach out.
There are times also when both of them are as silly as two children again, calling each other ridiculous pet names, confiding their fears and dreams to each other , having conversations with each other that last throughout the night, just generally enjoying each other's company. To Boy, this were all just short lived happiness, it's like the brief period of rain in the dessert, soon the scorching sun will dry up the water, and once again it will be another period where pain and anguish will dominate Boy's heart again. People constantly ask him 'why?' , why torture himself over a girl who blows hot and cold and then hot again all the time, people constantly tell him to not hurt himself over just one girl, there are plenty of other 'fishes in the sea' as everyone was fond of saying, but to him, no matter how big the world is, no matter how many bazillion fishes there are out there, she's the only one he wants. It's unexplainable. Only those in his shoes will understand. Every night before he closes his eyes, he will draw up the image of Girl, with her straight black hair, laughing eyes and wide smile, but when he closes his eyes, who knows? He may have her already imprinted in his heart, so even with his eyes closed, he will be able to draw up the exact replica of an image of Girl, so even in his darkest hours she is there.
There were letters penned to Girl, whether they have reached the intended person, I do not know, but each line was penned with utmost care and adoration. It's rare to have someone who will write letters nowadays, there are 26 alphabets and a million of permutations and combinations these alphabets can undergo, in each line of his letter, in each word he writes, it all shows love, despite the numerous combinations there is so if Girl does receive it, let's hope that she can see in every line the love Boy has for her.
Is this just another phase in Boy's life? We can never really know for sure, if this is Love or just another mindless infatuation in a teenage boy's life. This is the rare moments when a guy will lose sleep thinking of a girl, this is the rare moments when a guy will drop everything to care for a girl, even if it means sticking presents to her car wind shield. This is the simple story of Boy Meets Girl.

Phew, had writer's block for a moment and couldn't get into the vibe of the story. On a side note, went for another driving lesson today after a long hiatus, and surprisingly my instructor said that I was not bad. Well, glad to know that I at least can do SOME things right. However I now sport this major sunburn on my arm. UV rays, thou dost hurt my skin.
Right, nothing new as usual. So,
LOVE, hugs and kisses,
Jean.
