An old rival appeared again in the scene! she stole the spotlight of gossip and rumours AGAIN under the impeccable corridors of 4S1.

The extravagant exterior of the classroom was deep and galore with high tension and stressful thinking. why? it was the Progresif 2 test, and students were all too aware of the necessity to try hard in the exams and score better grades than before. it leaves no exception to anyone, even for the girl and boy in the main topic for today.

brows were raised, frowns were made and pens were stabbed on the clean, white paper of the answer sheet. indeed, it was a war of intelligence and pens and liquid. at the far corner of the classroom, near the widespread windows, Thian Xian Kai, better known as TXK, was struggling to finish his answers. humble as he was in saying that he did not do any good for this exam, he looked too down on himself when he scored decent grades. unsatisfied, he finished his answers in the answer sheet and laid back for all there was to come. but behind him, a particular figure of tanned skin and decent height, a girl was clearly trying to obtain his attention. it was Farahin.

Thian glanced behind him, acknowledging the fact that he was too attractive for any trifle of want. the girl behind him, currently known as Fafa Jelita, shook a worthless wave, but it was enough to make her look friendly for any approaching toad. her body swayed and she adorned herself effectively. a hopeless romantic, Thian was oblivious to the seduction and absorbed the friendliness and smiled a useless smile back. when the current exam for the subject ended, Fafa Jelita talked to Thian with sugar smiles, shoulders hunched in to display cuteness and womanhood. it was all too much of a flirtatious dare.

Sling. Slash. Sling.

piercing stares as sharp as newly-made knives came flying in the air to Thian. he trembled a tremor of fear as he tried to look at the direction of the knife-like stare. there were coming from two ways; one in front of him and one from far at his right. the ice queens reciprocated with attentive narrow eyes at him.

Bat threw hard papers like concrete at him while Mimi threw pieces of erasers like arrows. the sudden repeated attacks caused him to have bruises in the eye and arm. he could have thrown at them back, he could have marched right up to them and gave them a good beating, but he was too much of a pretend gentleman to be doing so. he endured it with great pain and perplexity.

ha! another case of teenage jealousy! Bat and Mimi have always been fighting over a particular boy, namely Thian. he was a hot-gun in the century, a gallant of chivalry. the girls knew nothing but to fight over him, but he was still too ignorant to even realise it. XP

"I was stuck between fantasy and reality. i wanted him to be mine! but girls keep coming in my way. especially Bat and Fafa Jelita," claimed Shamimi, with a nickname of Mimi. "The only way i could keep them away is throw things at Thian. i believe it is effective," she said with a grin.

Bat said rigourously, "Those girls never give up! I've tried everything to make Thian mine, but nothing works on him. someday i might just take drastic measures..." she chuckled evilly.

the girls were all desperate, but what about the girl who stole the spotlight, who caused all this devillish jealousy, who caused such a ruckus in the 4S1 gossip scene? the interviewers asked her several questions.

"I'm just an innocent girl. i thought it would be nice talking to him, maybe try to seduce him. who knows, he could just be my other boyfriend," she replied sweetly, answering all the suspicions in one breath. this girl of exceptional skills has always been the one who enjoyed flirting, the one who loves the attention over her. perhaps this is just one of her playful activities, or a serious effort? :O

the exams were over for now, but the air of jealousy still linger in 4S1. will there ever be peace where no adolescent jealousy fill the hearts of our fellows?
