Stories and fairy tales are always incredulously perfect. Girls always get to meet cute, handsome guys; love stories never ended without "happily ever after"... As I said, they are so ever incredulous - in real life, those perfect story lines are never gonna happen! More often than not, they will just leave you craving for the impossible.
What inspired me of this idea was a story book I found in the Tshung Tsin Secondary School (TTSS) library two days ago. In this book, "When Irish Guys are Smiling", the girl, Delk, applied for the Students across the Seven Seas (S.A.S.S) to transfer to a school in Connemara, Ireland. It was all meant as a respite from family issues (as usual - remarriage, step-mother and a new half-sibling; plus, her mother's gone to heaven). There was this Mr. Keneally (I'm not sure what his exact occupation is, but let's just assume he's the driver for now. Lol) who picked her and another student, Iris, up from the airport upon arrival.
This Mr. Keneally has a son, Pather Keneally. According to the author, he is cute. Delk thinks he is sexy, too. (Oo..la..la..) So, Delk suspected herself of another crush. (Back home, she is averaged to have one crush a month!) They got along well pretty soon after knowing each other. The next day, Pather had to deliver wood to the campus for students who complained about the terrible cold. And he was thoughtful enough to bring some for Delk as well! (Apparently, Delk did not complain yet. She was still in bed when Pather came for the delivery.)
Suspense arises here - could Pather have fallen in love with Delk??? Shall we go over the factors?
Factor 1: He would only deliver wood to those who complained. He made exception to Delk.
Factor 2: He referred to Delk as "love" twice during the delivery, once when they first saw each other and another when Pather was about to leave.
Factor 3: Delk asked Pather if he was supposed to deliver wood to every room in the campus. Pather explained that he would only deliver to those who complained, and blushed before he added that it was exceptional for Delk.
Sorry that the story will have to end here for the mean time as I have yet to finish the book. The new semester is starting in two more days. Sigh... Hopefully, I will have the time to finish it up before heavy schoolwork occupies my time again! And that is only if the book is not borrowed by somebody else!!! (Fingers crossed!) Why didn't I borrow it? Because it is the library of TTSS, not IS. IS students would have to pay RM100 to borrow! >.<
