The Change

Everyone deserves to be treated nicely. Even your enemies. As the saying goes, 'treat others the same way u want them to treat u'. Or something like that. Yes, kindness does have its benefits, but too much of a good thing becomes bad. Being too nice in a world where the vicious cycle of backstabbing, pretentious veneers and emotionless fight to the top never ends only leaves room for the evil, where the nice end up last. And so a new phrase is coined, 'it never pays to be nice'. Hans Basil learnt this one too many times.

Just as Accounts was Jay's forte, English was Hans' throne where he reigned supreme. Or so he thought. He could always ride on the pride of being the number one scorer in class, until his close friend, John, usurped his position by scoring 100% for a practise paper. Yes, it may have only been practice, but the shock of losing out to someone was too great for Hans to swallow. A case of sour grapes? Thankfully for Hans, he regained superiority in the next practice. Hopefully complacency doesn't overthrow him off his high perch.

Ever since returning to College after his operation, Hans had been feeling emotionally unstable. While his moods only reverberated off the meter from lame to emo, of late, he seemed to add anger and darkness to his list of best friends. And his emotional best friends seem to be threatening his real ones. While John & Hans have been close friends since the start of semester, a wall seemed to have been erected between them, a wall Hans thinks will continue growing. Is this the beginning of a backsliding friendship? As always, only time can tell.

Sanya Dival was another victim of Hans' changed attitude. For the first time since knowing each other, they had a fight, with Hans storming off and Sanya needing to call him back. All because Sanya wanted to know what THE thing was. Hans intended for his 'game' to continue, but Sanya was getting tad annoyed. So Hans succumbed to his ex and finally told her the problem, and was met with a silent and awkward look from Sanya. Will they get back together now that she knows what it is? By the look on her face, probability is low.

And what about Sunway's 'Silent Hottie', Sue Ann? While she attracts attention from hot-blooded perverts who never seem to let their eyes relax, little is known about what goes on in her head, and heart. Is there anyone she's interested in? Perhaps a little incident might shed some light, despite it being far from conclusive.Hans, Angie and Nick were having their not-so-routine drink after lessons when they met with Sue. Angie thought she might have picked up something between Sue and Hans. Women intuition? And with the texting going on between Hans and Sue on a daily basis, there may jus be something there...Who knows?

What's in store for the "changed" Hans Basil. Will his new "best friends" threaten to derail him off the social train and back into obscurity? Will his "Miss Significant", who's yet to be introduced, play any 'significant' role? What will happen now that Sanya knows the truth, and how will it affect Angie. Will John realise the wall before its too late? And what about Jay Dic? Has overachievement pushed him off the edge that it's caused him sleepy days in college and backsliding marks? Can he buck up before Finals? Find out in time to come, along with the much anticipated introduction of Hans' "Miss Significant".
