How do I tell him? Will I hurt his feelings? What will happen after I tell him? Will it be awkward? How do I face him?
These questions keep floating around Teresa's mind.
'I'm sorry, but let's break up...'
'We are not in a right age to date'
'If you could wait, let's wait for 1 more year, by that time we would be more mature.'
With every ounce of her bravery she finally told him her true feelings.
John replied, 'I knew that was coming, no worries, I will wait for you, so please don't fall and love with anyone else. I promise you I will do my best in the final examination to reach your level, so wait for me. I will make you fall for me again!'
Teresa was touched.
....
'I finally told him what I felt and we broke up' Teresa told her best friend Jane.
'Hooray, finally you are free' Jane said 'Let's celebrate' Teresa thought that the word 'free' was somehow a bit odd.
'Thank you for always listening to me, you are the only I can trust and the only one who knows I dated with John. Jane without you I don't know what to do'
'No probs Teresa, so stop with the thank you business'
....
Three months later,
'Hello everyone, today let's celebrate an early Chinese New Year by enjoying the performance perform by the Chinese Language Society.' said Teresa as the MC (master of ceremonies)
'Teresa! Let's take a photo together while you are in you chongsam, it's rare to see you dress up like this.'
'I want one with Terasa to'
'Me too'
Teresa took photos with her friends, without noticing someone was staring at her.
John was waiting to take a photo with her too.
Her friends, including Jane tease her, so she started to feel shy.
John put his arm around her shoulder and held her tightly while taking the photo. Teresa's face was stiff and her heart beat kept increasing as she became shy. Although she is a fierce girl, but she also had a little girl's attitude.
Teresa asked the boys from her class to take photos with her to make the scene no so awkward. One by one took photos with her, finally reach her good friend, Harry's turn.
Without knowing they took a photo while the others were blowing bubbles. The photo taken was a romantic scene full with bubbles and Harry's face was blocked by the bubble by coincidence. Teresa laugh and others also started to tease her again.
Everyone in the school knows that John was chasing after Teresa, so John openly gave a box of chocolate to Teresa as that was Valentine's day. While Harry gave a bigger box of chocolate to the girl he liked.
...
When Teresa reached home she was very happy as the celebration was a success.
'Thank you for the chocolate and please don't buy anything expensive for me ever again, don't waste your money.' Teresa sent the text to John.
'I will only spend it on you. Spending it on the girl I like is normal. By the way Happy Valentine's day' John replied back
Teresa was speechless. Whenever they chatted John would always say something that would make her speechless, so she decided to just ignore it because she was not good at that stuff.
Teresa also started chatting with a few more friends including Harry. She teases Harry and asked about the progress between he and the girl he liked. They chatted like sisters.(Teresa has always seen Harry as a brother, but teases him by saying he is her sister)
