"oi! carrot!!"
callie turned around, and there he was... leaning against the building pillar....
poser... she walked up to him...
"anything you need SIR?" callie answered sarcastically... waddaya expect?
he's rich, he's cute, he has a whole line of gurls swooning over him.. he's a
plain jerk...
"why you din come last week wan?" scott asked suddenly.
"gotta go balik kampung last week. some lame family thing la. why? no one to
bully ey?" callie answered cautiously... why? did he missed me? i noe i did...
but wat was i thinking? scott was a jock, they dun go for nerds u dumbo! at least
not when he has babes like debbie lying around at his expense...
"ehehe... really? ahahha... carrot! tell me one thing in ur life tats not lame la!
carrot!" ish... why wouldn't the jerk stop teasing me?! he ignored my last question...
"could u like stop being so cruel n mean?! i mean... its been nearly 2 years,
cant u go find a new victim?!" callie snaps back at scott.... frankly, they've been at
it for nearly 2 years now... and they are practically inseparable...
"dunno... u r fun to tease!" ohmygosh! is he hinting tat he likes me?! callie
was hoping for more... then the bell rang... great, just when it got interesting!
urgh!!!!
"better go do your duty little miss hall monitor!" scott laughed... as jus as he
walk pass callie... "bytheway, yea.... i did miss you... jus a little bit...".... callie was
stunned... she was speechless!! oh my gosh!! did he jus...?! did we...?! is he...?!
ohmy gosh!!!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
no one could deny that signals were everywhere... hints were dropped
like nuclear bombs! the attraction was there... but no one made a move...
none... there were the winks...n the jokes... n the occational social hugs...
oh the hugss!!! plus the eye contact... callie could swear that scott was looking
at her all the time!! eventho it wasnt the "hey, i cant keep my eyes of you type"...
but whenever scott was busy doin smthg with some other gurls... he's always
busy with some other gurls... whoa, was tat jealousy? he would always steal a
glance at callie who would be sitting at a corner by her self.. and if she looks
back... scott would wink at her...
ppl use to say that they were inseparable... if anyone were to separate them,
they'll end up moping like some love sick puppies... but of course, being only in
the 8th grade, they would of course deny everything....
"me? naaah.... u think i would actually fall for HIM? he's a pig! a massive
one!" callie would be the 1st to defend her "dignity"...
"ur calling ME a pig?! look in the mirror missy, i'm not the one that resemble
a carrot, pig!" and as usual scott would refute...
"i am NOT a pig! you are!"
"no... you are!"
"na aaah, you are! you pig!!"
"quit oiking! PIG!"
"STOPPPPPP IT!!! YOU ARE BOTH PIGS!! HAPPY?! (points at callie) YOU
ARE THE HEAD!(points at scott) AND YOU ARE THE BUTT!! HAPPY?!
YOU GUYS GIVE ME A HEADACHE!!!" jake jumped in to rescue... ever since den,
callie was pig-head and scott was the pig-butt... not exactly "mr. macho's nick",
but it works for em..
everyday, after school, callie would rush back home... quickly change n
gobble down her lunch... quickly did her homework n chores... and by around
4pm. she would sit patiently by the phone... okay, not exactly patiently... more like
picking up the phone and checking if the phone works every 15mins after 4pm...
and when it rings... ohmygosh!! its HIIIIM!!! ok ok... clam down now.... you
dowanna sound desperate... breath breath... ok ok...
"hellooo?"
"pig-head!!!" and callie would be grinning from ear to ear jus hearing his
voice...
"calm down u pig-butt, no use screaming into my ear everytime...."
and they would go on n on n on n on for hours... until either side of the parents
shouts n yells... she would be rolling on her bed, gigling at his lame jokes and
hearing about his day...and it is thru these long long long phone calls she
discovered y scott was the way he was... he's family, he's problems... even
scott has his fair share of issues too... how he wasnt always up to his dad's
expectations... how his mom always naggs at him.... how being the only son
was a burden for him... as he'll need to carry the family on his shoulders soon...
i guess i misjudged him... she also found out that scott was smoking.. ewwww!!!
major turn off!!! and he was in the mafia... and also that he wanted to
quit the mafia... scaaaary!!! and according to him... scott wans to quit the
whole mafia thing... and he found some one... is it me? callie would always
wonder whenever he talks about her... it sounds like me.... i think... scott could
go for hours n hours about this gurl... but callie always wondered who she was...
"hey, i tink scottie like u,gurl! " amanda-callie's church best friend would
always taunt her...
"naah, we're jus pals...." you really think so?!!! i think so too!!! oh my
gosh!! callie would lie innocently... secretly hoping that it was true..
"naa~aaahh! he's so into you! anyone could see that you guys are throwing
signals EVERYWHERE!! " amanda and her realationship-know-it-all tone...
"ANDDDDD you like him too! " amanda stared eagerly at callie's reaction...
she blushed!
"uh hah!!! caught red handed!!! dun deny!!! " there amanda goes... noseying
around .... callie blushed even more! she could possibly deny it any longer...
they've been playing the game for ages!!!
"wat do you wan me to do?! u think i shud make the 1st move?! " callie
eagerly asking for a second opinion... wat if it was jus a mistake?! wat if i was
jus being over sensitive?! its SCOTT!!! he's not exactly the type that goes
for "carrot gurl" yunno...
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
the turning point was a simple phone call...
"hey, callie... do you erm... wanna go to this youth camp?"
"youth camp? when wo...? whoa.. wait a min... did you jus call me by my
name?!"
"(scott laughs) ...yea.... i was hoping you could come.. i'm kinda helping out
in it... it would be fun..."
"hmm... okay... sure..."
yea... the camp was fun... and callie grew more and more fond of scott...
he's been really sweet... offering her his jacket in colder nights... he would always
make her milo during supper time... she would help him to do abit of his work
since he was the youngest in the commitee member... in that camp, mayb he
was too tired, scott fainted after 3 sleepless nights... he fell right in the middle
of the kitchen floor....while being a pig, callie woke up to get her some milo, she
assumed scott was awake so she tried to call his cell... no answer.. where
could the bugger be?! ish... she tried it again... still no answer... so she gave
up, assuming that scott must have slacked off somewhere... just to find scott
lying there right at the floor... ohmygosh!! wat the?! scott?! she rushed to
his side...
"scott?! hey...can u hear me?" scott was knocked out cold.. being
miss-know-it-all, she checked his pulse, he seemed fine.. breathing was
okay... mayb he jus worked himself out... so she sat there, luckily scott came
to his senses half hour later... luckily, cause callie was starting to lose the feeling
of her legs...
"hey buddy, u alright?! can u hear me?" callie called out to him... " you
freaked me out there... u ok?" callie was relieved..."i thought u were dead..."
scott chuckled.. at least he can still laugh....
"what will i do without u? " scott smiled.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
after the camp... callie was convinced that it was meant to be.... it
couldn't be mixed signals...not with that smile... no! 2 weeks after the camp,
on 4th of january, 2003, callie mustered all that she had... n she walked
up to jake...
"hey dufus, seen scott anywhere?" jake turned his head left den right....
you could see his eyeballs searching...
"dunno, with debbie i guess...not that sure where they went tho... if you
know what i mean..." and jake winked at callie... what?! what was that
suppose to mean?! no... it couldn't be...
"with debbie?!" naive and afraid, callie asked to reconfirm...please say
that it was a mistake...please...
"yup! deb-bie.... they got together last week, right after camp... you
din know?!" at that point, the whole world came crumbling down... no... no...
not debbie... its not fair... no... i tot... i tot he likes me... i thought...
" i thought it was meant to be...."
this isn't the end yet... part iv coming right up!
