The next day I met the girls at the MRT station, Felicia came first followed by Pris. Felicia and Pris seem to got very close as they sat together and chattering away while we were waiting for Jasmine and Ann, I sat beside Pris as I was on the lookout at the escalator. It was not hard to realize that Felicia was “helping” Pris, as she would at times moved herself towards my direction push Pris towards me. After a few of such attempts and with Pris constantly bumping in to me, (If you were to ask me at that moment, I will tell you I loved Felicia more than I would be interested in Pris) I got a little upset, and I stood up standing beside them waiting for Jasmine and Ann.
Jasmine and Ann arrived and they were ready for war, carrying bags of items from “popular” and I laughed as they approached.
Me: Eh you 2 want to go fight war ah?
Jasmine walk towards me and saw Felicia sitting with Pris.
Jasmine pulled me to a side and she gave me a stare: Why is she here?
Me: Do assignment together lor.
I did not know why was Jasmine so upset but she was giving me a black face.
Me: Give ppl chance lah. One day? if she give trouble then next time no more.
Ann: Jasmine, she’s already here. we can’t ask Lawrence to ask her go back right?
Jasmine: Your choice, anyway I am just warning you, It’s not like I am concerned about you, If you want to be jumping it then go and die for all I care.
I let of a big sigh and did not reply Jasmine, We discussed and went to a nearby coffeeshop to eat. As Pris walked pass Jasmine I could see Jasmine mouthing “Trouble maker” and I could sense that Jasmine was extremely hostile towards Pris. At the coffeeshop, we ordered our food and I had Chicken rice. It was a quick meal with not much of a conversation, I did not want to tease anyone that day as it might upset Jasmine farther.
We move off to my home after that, it was going to be a long day.
We started taking out our assignments upon reaching my home, and Ann help me go through mine and told me what are the things I need to look out for. She took out a highlighter and highlighted the key points of the question, was we went through. I was not hard for me not to realized Jasmine occasionally looking towards Pris, as she was helping Felicia with her assignment.
To me I think it was due to the point that Jasmine had coached Felicia for a while, and Felicia had become sort of a study buddy to her. And have Felicia taken away from her, was something she could not accept given her proud character.
I told Ann that I felt that It was better if I gave some attention to Jasmine, She nodded and gave me a smile. I took my assignment, and sat beside Jasmine. She looked at me for a moment, before asking me what I want.
Me acting cute: Jie Jie , Wo bu hui? (Sister I don’t know)
Jasmine: Ask Ann, don’t bug me.
Me acting cute: I want Jie Jie teach (I want Sister to teach)
Jasmine: You believe I slap you or not, stop acting like a retard.
Jasmine pulled the paper from me and asked what I did not understand.
I point out a few points that actually Ann has explained to me, and Jasmine went on and explaining them to me. Of course with the addition of calling me names in the process, As I would constantly ask her if I have done it correctly, I guess I diverted her attention away from Pris and Felicia. but constant laughter coming from them did not help.
It was at 3pm that Felicia finally shout out to me that day, (you can imagine how fast Pris and her had become sisters)
Felicia: Oei idiot I hungry!!! Got thing to eat or not?
Ann looked at me and suggested she go get some cakes, I was looking for a break as well. It’s not common for me to get some alone time with Ann, I took my Keys and wallet. I pulled Ann’s Hand and opened the gate, Jasmine asked us where we were going. I closed the gate, and told her we would be back soon and we were getting cakes for everyone.
Happily I held Ann, and took the lift down, I hugged Ann in the lift and kissed her. However I showed her a disappointed face, when I feel the binding thing on her chest. She chuckled and shook her head, she looked at me and patted my head.
Me: Why you always bind?
Ann: I told you the reasons before.
Me: You hor, always don’t let me touch.
Ann: Let’s get the cakes first, the others are waiting.
I was disappointed by the statement, But I still held Ann’s hand as we went to the cake shop. Ann told me what she think each of the girls would like, and we bought several cakes from the shop. And as we approached my home, we heard loud voices yelling. To me it was disaster…..
I believe everyone like me would have imagine Jasmine going head to head with Pris, but I was wrong. As I reach my home and unlocking the gate, I saw Jasmine in a heated argument with Felicia. I rushed in without locking the gate, Asking the girls what had happened. Ann raced to Jasmine’s side asking her to calm down. Jasmine and Felicia were standing up and Pris was again crying behind Felicia.
Felicia: Jasmine lah, cannot talk nicely meh, Pris Just want to be friends mah.
Jasmine: Felicia, Did I say anything wrong?
Felicia: Aiyah, Now you become angel lah. Just now what what you say?
Jasmine: What did I say?
Felicia: Idiot, you know Pris try to go and talk to her then she show attitude, Some more push her wor.
Jasmine: I told you, She called me a Bitch!!
Felicia: Got meh, I also never hear.
Jasmine: You ask her?
Felicia: She say I never hear but you say I got hear. Just now at MRT, you call her trouble maker.
Jasmine: Yah, She is one.
Pris got up and ran out with Felicia following her, we stood in the living room as I did not know what to do. Jasmine asked Ann to pack their things, and I stopped Ann shaking my head.
Me: Jasmine need to do until like this meh?
Jasmine: I told you, but now I am the villain. You happy?
Me: Jasmine not like that lah.
Jasmine packed her thing seeing that Ann has stopped doing so.
Jasmine: All that I said was the truth, and if you don’t believe me then be it.
Jasmine’s face was red and her eyes watery, to me she was not lying. But I could not take her side of the story alone, Perhaps it was due to the incident at the station.
Jasmine finished packing her things and pulled Ann to leave, I nodded my head to Ann as I knew I could not stop Jasmine. I figure things would easier to resolve if she had cooled down, The way things are now it was best to let them go before another argument erupted.
I paged Felicia leaving her a voicemail telling her that Jasmine and Ann had left, and for them to return to my home as their bags were still here.
I sat at the sofa, It felt horrible. If only I did not ask Pris to come along, or maybe I was too eager to let Pris blend in with the girls? I stared at the box of cake placed on the table, If only I did not go down, I could have prevented this.
I was now alone in the living room and soon Felicia and Pris returned, Felicia was holding onto Pris and still comforting her. Felicia lead Pris To the sofa and asked her to take a seat, before she turned to me.
Felicia: Eh Idiot why Jasmine like that?
Me: I also don’t know. ( I really did not wish to comment much as Pris was still around)
Felicia: Don’t know her lah, last time she don’t like me also not like that.
Pris: She just don’t want me here, she must think that I always cause trouble.
Felicia went on can kept consoling Pris, but the more Felicia consoled Pris. The more Pris cried. Pris went on about the slut issue again and Felicia telling her how much she understands how she felt. But I could only keep quiet, as I really did not wish to take sides on this matter.
It was getting late and I told Felicia and Pris to go back, I told Felicia to calm down as not matter what Jasmine was still our friend, Felicia nodded but from her eyes I trust she did not take any of that in.
The girls left and I still walk Felicia to the station, and Pris to the Terminal respectively. I walked to the terminal Pris after sending Felicia off at the station, Pris start talking me questions.
Pris: Yang, Don’t worry about us.
Me: What you mean?
Pris: Between Jasmine and me, I will get her number from Felicia and apologize to her.
Me: Did you really call her a bitch?
Pris: No, but if I say sorry then things can be resolved. then I am ok with that.
Me: If you never do it then don’t need to say sorry.
I was really confused at that moment, Pris to me now was this frail little lamb. I admit that I was leaning towards Pris but I just could not believe that Jasmine would react to her without any reason.
Pris’s bus came and I waved goodbye to her, I walked home and paged Jasmine once I got home.
My page was not returned until 20 minutes later.
Me: Hello?
Ann: Lawrence, Jasmine said she don’t wish to talk.
It is funny how prideful Jasmine can be at times, but asking Ann to call me saying that she does not wish to talk to me it was cute.
Me: Ann can you ask her to the phone please, and tell her I wish to talk to her.
Ann asked me to wait for a moment, I could her the shuffling of the receiver, and some conversation before Jasmine took the phone.
Jasmine: What you want?
Me: I want you give meh?
Jasmine: I am in not mood for your jokes.
Me: okok, Just what happened? I want to hear it from you.
Jasmine: She came over asking me about you and Ann, I did not say much to her and told her to mind her own business.
Me: ok that’s harsh.
Jasmine: Yah, who is her to ask anyway.
Me: Then What happen?
Jasmine: Nothing, she starts asking me if I knew some people in school and place her arm on my shoulder before calling me a bitch.
Me: So you pushed her?
Jasmine: Lawrence what were you expecting. She calls me a bitch and you want me to hug her?
Me: ok I get it.
Jasmine: let me get this straight if she appears I am not joining you guys, Ann as well.
Me: ok, you cool down first I will page you girls k
Jasmine did not say good bye but end the call with a ok, now I really felt that the group had totally split up in 3 Felicia and Pris in 1, Jasmine and Ann in 1 and of course Christina as 1.
I was vexed if I choose to stand one on side, I might lose the other. I can’t help but chant out: Girls, Girls, why can’t you all just get along.
I page Christina and she called back, She joked about me going missing. And that she was going to report to the police for missing person. I teased her about what she was going to tell them if they asked about our relation, she gave me It depends. If the policeman is handsome, then she will say it’s just her dog. but if not handsome the BF lor.
I asked her if she wanted to have dinner with me, but she told me she already have a date. When I replied her Go lor in a disappointing tone, she told me that she was meeting her parents later. She told me she had to go as they are leaving for dinner soon, We hung up.
I was vexed over the matter and I now it appears I have no one to talk to, I flipped through my phone book, and saw Joanne’s number and I paged her. I feel that I have left the past go, and especially after my relationship with current Felicia. To me I had overly reacted in the past, at least that was what I felt.
She called back moments later and we spoke on the phone.
Joanne: Lawrence you look for me ah.
Me: Yah lor, no one want to have dinner with me. where are you now.
Joanne: I am at home lor, Your GF Leh?
Me: She go out with her parents lor.
Joanne: Wah like that I am your spare tire huh.
Me: No lah, Eh you free or not I got thing to ask you.
Joanne: But auntie (Maid) cooked dinner already.
Me: Then nevermind lah
Joanne: You come over lor.
Me: Huh your place so far don’t want lah.
Joanne: come lah, cab fare I pay for you.
Joanne shouted for the maid to cook more food.
Joanne: come hor, or else the food I cannot finish.
Me: Orh.
I did not take a cab but instead I took 2 buses, and walked a distance before arriving at Joanne’s home Which took me 45 mins.
I Press the door bell and the maid came running out, She smiled at me (I think she remembers me) when she was opening the gate. She looked around and turned to me.
Maid: Taxi?
Me: Auntie, no taxi.
Maid: Joanne say pay taxi?
Me: no, no taxi.
I guess she understood what I was telling her and lead me into here house, She shouted telling Joanne that I was here. Joanne came down the stairway and lead me to the dining table, the spread she had was a simple fare at least it seem simple to me. but there was this chewy black brownish thing, that I ate which I have never eaten before. I asked her what it was and she told me it was escargot, I felt it was nice and took a few more. Only to know from Joanne later it was snails!!!!
After dinner, We went to her backyard it was a area of a HDB room not big really, but I didn’t have one at home, so it is was something new. they had this metal rocking Bench at the backyard and we sat on it. (this was the first time I rocked with a girl without having sex.)
Joanne: So what you want to ask me?
Me: ok, I got a friend he always hang out with girls say 4 of them, then they fight and spilt into 2 groups. My friend ask me how to resolve, but I don’t know how to answer him leh .
Joanne: I think he should not care.
Me: why leh?
Joanne: If he choose one side then in the end the side he choose is the side is at fault how.
Joanne: So he should not choose, just be neutral.
Me: I also think like that, but hor how to know who is at fault.
Joanne: I also don’t know what happened.
I went on to tell Joanne the whole story from when Pris meet “my friend” to the fight and today.
Joanne: Wah how come you know so much, who is your friend? Is yourself is it?
Me: No lah, Just that he told me everything.
Joanne: I don’t know leh, Cause I don’t really know them I don’t say better.
Me: you like that answer like never answer.
Joanne: this I really don’t know, Sorry.
Suddenly it started to rain, we ran towards the house and she asked to go up to the room and ask auntie to get some drinks for us.
I entered Joanne’s room, and it filled me with the memories we had here. I was deep in my thoughts, recalling all the silly things that happened here.
Joanne: Oei?
Me: Huh?
Joanne: Don’t stand at the door Auntie want to come in.
Me: Orh
Auntie came in and place the glasses of water on Joanne’s table and left us, Joanne was looked at me and I asked her what’s the matter.
Joanne: You grow taller already hor.
Me: No lah, you too long never see me.
Joanne: yah, It’s been sometime ago since I saw you.
Me: Yah lor, the last time was the time at Orchard.
Joanne: Talking about that I haven’t give you birthday present.
Me: I also don’t know what I want.
Joanne: When you know then tell me lor.
Me: Ok.
Joanne: Eh sorry for before, I know I did hurt you.
I did not answer her, I have forgiven her, Maybe I did not know how to express myself or maybe I was wanting her to hold on to that guilt she has towards me.
We spoke for another 30 mins, and I told her I have to go as the journey to my home would take a long time. She offered once again to pay for my cab fare back which I told her there is really not need, as I would be taking the bus. I went to the toilet before going back, and Joanne walks me to the gate.
She told me that my friend will need to think about who he wish to be with more, and he will find the answer to what he wants. I had the feeling that she knew I was the friend, I smile and said goodbye as I saw here gate closing , She shouted for me to check my bag before running back into the house.
I found that envelope, the same one I returned to her.
On the envelope it writes: For your journey to and fro, Please use it, Joanne.
I did not use the money and took a bus back, as I really did wish to think about things. It was funny how the cold breeze could clear your mind, I thought of some things, and planned to find out the truth. but for this I need to find information from Felicia, and maybe a foe.
