Faitherine Swan
One month later . . .
Her life still goes on as usual. Well. . . Almost.
Both of her best friends were gone. She is still ignoring Harry since Zayn left her. She spends most of her time at home or school. She had deleted both their numbers. Even if she can still remember their numbers, she tries her best to forget.
She spends most of her time in school, alone. Harry would approach her, but she would walk away. She forgives him. But just looking at him would remind her of Zayn.
She has been alone for a while now. Her classmates start to wonder. She is sitting alone in the school's IT room when Amy and Annie approaches her.
"Are you alright there?" Amy asks. Faith startles.
"Oh, it's you guys. Well, I'm alright." Faith gives a fake smile.
"Would you like to join us?" Annie asks.
"Nah, it's alright. I'm perfectly fine right here."
"Aww, come on. . ." Amy and Annie insist. They drag Faith out.
Amy and Annie are best friends. They vowed not to have any boyfriends until they leave high school. Both are known as "The Virgins" in school. People might laugh, but they feel proud of it. But rumour has it they are non-committal.
Since that day, Faith hangs out with Amy and Annie almost every day. They would take turns on which houses to go to, each day. She is recovering and having a lot of fun with them. Harry doesn't seem to bother her again.
Every Saturday, they would hang out at a different hotspot of the week.
While chilling, Amy says,
"I'm bored. We need to spice up our life."
"Like?" Annie and Faith wonder.
"How about this," Amy suggests. "After lunch, both of you go back home and bring your laptop over to my place. Meet me at my house at 2. Alright?"
Annie and Faith nod and exchange look.
What is Amy up to this time?
Christopher Hamilton
"Baby! I'm h---" Lydia's mouth falls.
"Fuck, Chris! Don't you know how to lock the door?!" Amanda yells as she pushes Chris away and covers herself with the blankets.
"Just as I planned. . ." Chris mumbles.
"You planned this?!" Both of the girls yell.
"How do you feel to be in my shoes now huh?" Chris says while putting on his boxers.
"What are you talking about?" Lydia is confused.
"Let me refresh your memory. . . Where did you go after we went to the movies last month?" Chris asks. Lydia looks down. "Where were you before our dinner date, last week? Let me give you the most recent one. Where the hell were you after you ran off, yesterday?"
"I, I, I didn't mean to - - -" Lydia stammers.
"Fuck around?" Chris interrupts her. "You didn't mean to fuck around?! I've been in your situation before. For all I know, I did everything on purpose. There aren't accidents at all. Well, unless you were raped. But even if you were, I doubt that you would call for help."
"Are you leaving me?" Lydia starts sobbing.
"Cry all you want! I'm dumping you now."
"I can't control my pleasure. You've been ignoring me."
"That doesn't mean you can have sex with many guys."
Lydia runs off, crying.
"And I never want to see your face again!" Chris shouts.
When Chris turns around, Amanda is already on her feet all dressed up.
"I can't believe you used me!"
Chris just watches her go. Amanda slams the door, hard.
He screams.
He had enough.
He wants to be loved. He wants to know which girl is meant for him. He had been with thousands of girls, and he has seen and known all types of girls. But none of them is the one. None of them is sincere.
Why does falling in love have to be so hard?
He will be serving National Service(NS) for 2 years in a month's time.
He has a month of doing nothing but rot at home.
He switches on his computer and logs in to his favourite website. . .

"Faith? You bun up your hair?" Annie asks. "It looks good!"
"Can't you see the weather? It's so hot!" Faith says and then turns to Amy, "Okay, what now?"
"Go on to this website," Amy shows them the link.
Amy and Faith type the website and click Enter.
"ONLINE CHATTING" pops up.
"Whoa whoa, where are you going with this?" Annie is surprised.
"Don't worry honey. My vow still stands." Amy says. "Let us just have fun! We fool the desperate one and criticise the hot and handsome one."
"That sounds fun!" Annie exclaims.
"So, who's in?" Amy asks.
"I am of course!" Annie sounds so excited.
"Faith, are you?" Amy repeats.
"Are you sure about this?" Faith says. "Wouldn't they know who we are?"
"Fake everything honey."
"Well, alright . . . Let's do it." Faith grins.
"I'm going to be Britney," Amy says.
"I'm Paris," Annie says.
"And I'll be Avril," Faith says.
Christopher Hamilton
"ONLINE CHATTING" pops up.
"Hmm. . . Let's see. . . Lily. . . Tasha. . . Layla. . . Britney. . . Lydia, must be her. . . Carly . . ." Chris mumbles to himself while reading through the list.
He clicks 5 names:
1)Layla
2)Avril
3)Giovanna
4)Hailey
5)Bella
He then introduces himself.
Hey, Chris here. I'm 19. Serving NS soon. What about you?
They replies:
1) NS still? Loser.
2) Hello! Avril here. 14 this year. Still in High school of course. Hehe (:
3) Hmm, Chris huh? Are you hot? I'm Giovanna.
4) I'm 23. xD
5) Wanna meet and have fun?
He chooses Avril and Giovanna to chat with.
To Avril: Still in high school huh? You'll make it. So, wanna leave me your number? We'll continue there.
To Giovanna: Hot? Hmm . . . Do you only want hot guys?
Only Avril replies:
Avril: Sure, I guess! 9*** ***1 . Hope to hear from you soon!
(Author’s note: I know it’s too quick but this was what really happened)

Giovanna: *Still typing*
Chris closes the chat window and takes his phone.
Faitherine Swan
Hmm, Chris seems nice.
Faith closes her laptop and takes her phone.
"Babes, I'm tired. Amy lend me your bed alright?" Faith says.
"Aww okay. Join us if you feel better."
Her phone buzzes.
Hey, Chris is hereee! :)
She replied,
Avril's here! ((:
She texts Chris the whole time.
She notices that Chris is the type of guy she liked. Chris is funny, random talking, sweet and cool. But she knows that online dating is not real.
Suddenly, she is back to missing Zayn. She feels as if she is cheating on Zayn by doing this. She sends Chris her last message and puts away her phone.
"Hey Faith, are you alright?" Annie asks.
"Yeah, don't worry about me. Do you guys mind if I go home now?" Faith asks.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Annie asks.
"No no, it's alright." Faith picks up her bag. "Love you guys. Tata." Faith gives a flying kiss.
Christopher Hamilton
He likes the way Avril talks to him. Even if it was just texting, she seems so cute and sweet. But he wonders what was her problem.
Her last message:
Sigh, I just wish I could be in love again.
He puts his pants on while waiting for her reply.
After that text, she did not reply to Chris' text.
He wonders why.
Chris left her 7 messages, but still no reply.
He calls once, no answer.
What the hell!
He deletes her number.
He deletes her number.
Faitherine Swan
After so long, she feels like crying again. She wishes she could turn back time and make things right again.
Why do you have to leave, Zayn?
She takes out her phone, wishing Zayn wouldn’t change his number.
But she finds 7 messages received and 1 missed call. It is all from Chris.
He texted:
What happened, Avril? Do you mind sharing?
Are you there?
What happened, Avril?
Did I say something that upsets you?
Hey, I'm sorry if I did anything wrong.
Are you alright?
Hey Avril, listen. I failed in love too. I failed on love thousands of times. Sometimes I do wonder why I always got hurt when I am loyal to them. It's alright if I am not your type. But I do understand the situation you are in.
She wonders why a stranger would care so much. She is too sleepy to reply and went straight to bed.
Christopher Hamilton
He turns and turns but he keeps on thinking about Avril.
What is wrong with me?!
Chris is frustrated. She is just a stranger but she is on his mind the whole time!
Chris is frustrated. She is just a stranger but she is on his mind the whole time!
He looked through his bin for her number but the paper was soaked in soda.
He looked through his computer but found nothing.
He looked through his phone. But all he could see was an empty inbox and an empty recent call.
He regrets deleting everything.
Damn it!
He wonders why he feels so anxious about Avril.
Come on, Chris! You don't even know her much or even met her!
Chris has been mumbling to himself. He gazes at his ceiling and slowly falls asleep.

Faitherine Swan
She wakes up and stays in her bed the whole morning.
She checks her phone and reads Amy's text:
Faith, I'm sorry if what I did yesterday offended you in any way. We won't do it again alright?
She presses the next button and sees Chris' messages that she read last night.
She hits the reply button.
I think it's good that Faith isn't talking to Harry. It's good for her to keep a clear mind. Amy and Annie seem pretty cool. I remember going on chat sites all the time as a teen... Good memories. I had a few online dates as well. Those were fun times. Too bad I can't wind back the time.
ReplyDeleteI understand Faith's feelings. After a breakup it takes some time before you feel comfortable moving on because sometimes people come back. But she never really had feelings for Zayn... It hurts, but those feelings will go away. Sometimes chatting with others helps to ease the pain and fill that void.
What is NS?
National Service (NS) in my country is compulsory for all men to serve 2 years in the army to prepare for war .
