“But I don’t wanna go home yet!” Cheryl whined, as she tugged at her boyfriend’s uniform for the umpteenth time that evening. Jason simply sighed heavily, as he took another drag at the Marlboro Light he was smoking. He ruffled Cheryl’s hair playfully, which made her turn sideways towards him. Jason gave his girlfriend her favourite ‘Jason grin’, as she termed it.
“What?” he asked simply. To his horror, Cheryl’s eyes were filled with tears. Oh shit. She’s crying! Quickly stubbing his Marlboro on the pavement, he enveloped Cheryl in a tight embrace, as he whispered sweet words of comfort into her ears.
Hush hush. I’ll always be with you, no matter what, ok? No matter what other people say, what happens to us in the future, I’ll always be there for you; I’ll be your protector, I’ll be your guardian angel and protect you from all kinds of enemies, from all-
Jason’s words of reassurance were cut short by Cheryl’s kiss. Just a simple one- their lips touched each others’; soon, his tongue was trying to gain access to her mouth. Cheryl relented after a few moments- she knew that Jason relished each occasion they kissed, for it was not every time that they did so. Jason’s hands, which were wrapped around her body, now started to explore downwards, to her waist, to her-
“Hey kid! This is a public place! Mind your actions, will ya?”
The comment came from somewhere behind Cheryl. Blushing red with embarrassment, she broke free from Jason’s embrace immediately. Noticing the look of dismay on her boyfriend’s face, she smiled slightly and held his hand tightly.
“Promise me you’ll never let go of me in the future, no matter what happens?”
“Never.”
Jason thought that he would never, never ever grow tired of the perfection that was Cheryl Lim. How wrong he was.

The basketball court of the sports complex in Jason’s school was always deserted in the mornings before school started for the day. He had always gone there to practice his shooting every day, before getting his morning nicotine fix. This morning, however, Jason simply sat on the benches and smoked away. Before long, footsteps could be heard approaching him from behind.
“I heard that you got expelled.” The quiet voice stated simply.
Jason didn’t need to turn around to know the identity of the speaker.
“What do you want, Terence? Haven’t you interfered in my life enough?”
“One of these days, Jason, your temper and your attitude towards life is gonna get you into trouble.”
“And why do you care? It’s MY own life, it’s my own future! No one has the right to control it!”
“Your parents will-“
“Shut up about my parents when you barely know them!” Jason screamed, as he threw the cigarette pack on the floor in front of his former class mentor, before storming off.Labels: The Moment |
