Past, Chapter 3: The 5-dollar Crush (Part 11)

I'm sure many people have heard of Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad. Let's just say today was a Bad Day Gone Good. I thought today was going to be a bad day. And it was, at least for the first part of the day. A look at the timetable told me only one thing-- this was a long and boring school day. There's like 10 and a half hours' worth of boring lessons in school, not to mention lots of homework. Yep, today really was my least favourite day-- hours of SPA sessions, GP, Chinese and the dreaded PE.

My day started off with the announcement that I was just 'not good enough' for the Mathematical Olympiads (what a failure). This was the foreword of worse things to come, I'm sure of it. And it turned out to be true. I messed up my Physics SPA and had to draw graphs for homework. Only 2 hours in school and i was like sian diao. 'Endure' I told myself, 8 more hours to go.

Funny, this was supposed to be about my crush, why am I ranting about my boring school life? Well, things started to look better when I met her for the first time today. I had to sacrifice my precious 30-minute break to photocopy my CCA Cert, but I am glad I did it coz then I met her. She was joining the queue outside the photocopy shop at Block 11, together with me (not really, it was a long queue). Hi and bye were the only words we exchanged but it was enough, her smile already did the trick.

From then on, lessons seemed more bearable. For the first two hours after that meeting, I 'aced' my Chemistry SPA and got no homework. Then I got lucky-- escaped GP without getting a scolding(homework not done), Chinese seemed like a breeze. Along came PE, I was sure this good luck (or was it luck?) will not last. But I was wrong. Unexpectedly, she had PE too, and it was the same session. I don't know if she ever saw me but everytime I saw her I, you guessed it, I felt a burst of energy that boosted my running.

After PE, I raced to get on bus 86 home, but missed it. Bad luck? No way. I met her once again at the bus stop. Hi and bye again. And I went home with high spirits. Talk about a Bad Day Gone Good, ha.
