Going to school
Going to school
----------------
"jenny,are you going to the dance?" Eggs asked her in the morning when they met each other at the mrt station while on the way to school.
jenny turned and smiled,more in politeness than in friendliness for she was not particularly good friends with Eggs,her classmate.
"maybe...i don't know."she said and kept silent.
a quiet girl and beautiful in her own right,she never had much to say to her friends,it was not because she was snotty but more of her character;she opens herself gradually to people as time passes on.
but of course,sometimes there are people whom she can never really be herself with.her bouncy ponytail clipped with a rectangular clip and her right arm clasping a blue file close to herself,she walks slowly,eyes looking in front of the path expectantly and yet confidently.
Eggs,ever the nosy one, nudged her gently,"so...why isn't that guy with you now? i just saw him just now on the train." Eggs said,knowing that jenny and the mentioned guy had been acquaintances on the same bus to school but one day out of the blue,their subtle link with each other had faded into an awkwardness where passing each other in the same walkway,both of them would look elsewhere to avoid eye contact with each other.
jenny walked on expressionless,as if she hadn't heard the question,but was concentrated fully on walking to school.then she suddenly said,
"i don't know,"a tone of wistful finality in her voice which prompted Eggs to keep quiet.
ked walked on slowly , a distance quite far behind them,a general appearance of quietitude but his heart was not as calm as it seems.he stared in front at the two of them occasionally,noting their progress towards the school and yet he seemed to refrain from increasing the proximity between him and the two girls.in fact,he was deliberately slowing down his normal walking pace in order to avoid going too near or overtaking them,perhaps for the reason that he wanted to remain in hiding like a fugitive or more because of the irony that when they were near each other ,they became more like strangers.
