think it's time to resurrect my story... I blamed it on sch assignment and freelance works!

Episode #4
After a long awkward silence, we decided we should all just head home. The walk towards the bus stop seems to last forever. Cyndi has lost her chirpy self and the absent of her high pitched voice was driving me crazy.
"Hey, u ok?" My thoughts was interrupted by Vince. I looked up and saw Vince looking at me intently, full of concern. How could I tell him that it was actually Cyndi who's interested in him? And why me?! Now I have to face the wrath of my only friend in school.
All I could do was shaked my head... realising that's not a 'right' response, I quickly nodded. I suddenly felt so stupid and dumb, who would buy tat kinda response?! But thank goodness Vince didn't pursue the issue.
My bus finally came and without any notice, I hopped on at the very last minute before Vince could response and waved goodbye to them! I sat down at the seat with a deep sign. It was wat I could conjour as the best escape plan and I wondered what would behold me when school starts next week....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another week began in school and I don't believe how much homework our lecturers could come up with! Cyndi never talked about that nite anymore and I think it was best kept that way.
I have since avoided Vince in school, which was pretty easy to do. He was afterall my senior and Cyndi was always around with me.
"Jo jo, going home?" a cheeky voice came from behind me. I turned and saw our class clown, Charles. I smiled and we began to chat nonsensically as we headed toward the bus stop. Charles was forever so funny and humorous. I was laughing, enjoying every moment. He has this ability to loosen up any stern faced, depressed being.
Charles went "HOT HAR HOT HAR!" and grabbed a window seat for us on the driver's side. He was so hilarious. But I admit, sometimes it could be a tad too embarassing.
"JO!!! Jo are u there?" a voiced yelled and interrupted our laughter. The bus was already packed and I couldn't see who was yelling for me. Suddenly I saw. It was Vince standing outside the window on the other side of the bus! He had ran for a bus stop distance to catch me on the bus. I was shocked and everyone was just staring at us.
"Yah?" I finally found my voice.
"Get off the bus! Quick, it's gonna move off soon!"
"Err... why?"
"Just come down please...."
I couldn't think and just mumbled a bye to Charles and got up. I wasn't sure if I saw correctly, but was that a look of disappointment on his face? I didn't have much time to think as I stumbled to get off the crowded bus.
Standing before Vince, I suddenly didn't know wat to do. There was too many questions going through my head. Why did he got me off the bus? How did he know I'm on tat bus? What was so urgent?
"So glad I managed to catch you," Vince smiled and his eyes caught the sun and it look stunning.
"Oh, err.... what's up? How did you know I was on that bus?" I snapped myself out of my daze.
"I was looking for you after class and couldn't find you. I went to the bus stop and asked around. Someone told me you just got on that bus, so I took the shortcut and caught up with you." he grinned as he proudly answered my questions.
"I...I see, something urgent?"
"Nope, just wanna see you." he smiled and the 'happiness' in his eyes was almost blinding.
I was lost for words and response. All I could think of was, thank goodness Cyndi was on medical leave that day.
"Ok you've seen me now. So I can go rite? Bye." I know I have to get out of this situation before my resistance to him fall to zero. As sudden as things have happened, he grabbed my hand. Pulling me towards him, the look in his eyes saddened as he asked, "Why are u avoiding me?" Staring into his eyes, with our noses just inches away, time stood still....
