21 October 2008

It is a well known fact that no one likes to wake up early, especially for school. Unfortunately, that is exactly what Hans and John had to do. And what made it worse was the fact that the first subject on the cards was Accounts, one vilified and abhorred by Hans to no limits. The same can't be said for Jay, however, who is not shy in announcing that his expertise lay in that particular subject. Girls flock to him, only to take advantage of his brain. Or so it seems.

Jay Dic is the kind of boy who seems to be perpetually tied to his mommy's apron strings. What he may lack in independance and social culture he makes up in intelligence and overachievement. Jay's aim to recieve the prestigious scholarship seemed to be sliding further and further away from his grasp. With the academic results he's been getting in English and Econs, even a free pass to Semester 2 may be a bridge too far. Who said his intelligence was whole?

Hans, dazed and blank from his late nights of random onlining, struggled to keep up with Accounts. His mind wondered back to the previous night at 1:45 am, where his dark thoughts kept him awake. Unable to resist the oppressive power of his thoughts, he sought help from his close friend Nick, who eased the situation with a few Marlboro Lights. Is Hans finally caving in to what he swore he never would? Addiction? And what was with the intense texting between him and Sue during class? Is there something going on that people don't know about? After all, Hans was wearing a shirt with the words "PLAYBOY IN SHIRT" emblazoned on it. A hint or a clue? Or a lame attempt at trying to be one?

It was a relatively quiet day in Sunway University College, with the mundane activities taking place in and around school, people going on about their daily activities. People like Sanya and Angie, who like every girl, needs a best friend to lean on. Thankfully, they have each other, and they have had the strongest of ties. But that's because nothing has shaken them up yet. When it does, will their friendship be able to withstand it? Or will it crumble and collapse into oblivion?

One thing is sure though, and that is the reappearance of a very significant girl in Hans' life. Though not physically, her sudden advent is sure to cause some ripples in Hans' already unstable life. With all the things weighing down in his mind, will Hans be able to control this? Will this significant girl be Hans' saving grace, or will she be the straw that broke the camel's back? Only time can answer this, so stay right here for updates, along with the introduction of the new "Miss Significant". Till then...
