This is a piece that I
wrote while in Sec sch.. kinda immature.. but anyway... juz wanna
share..
It was another day in the University for Ray, Brenda, Amanda, and
James. They were gathering in the sidewalk café for a quick lunch
before rushing to another lecture.
Brenda and James were the first to reach the café. James is
Brendas boyfriend and both of them in the business faculty. Next
to enter the café is Ray, a law faculty student. The person who is
always late as usual is Amanda, an arts student. Four of them were
friends since they were kids.
Hi guys, sorry Im late. I was asking the professor some
questions. Amanda explained apologetically. Hey its okay, you
arent late for the first time! Ray teased. Amanda threw her
sweater at him as an act of protest.
As it was time for Brenda and James to go for their lecture, they
left hurriedly and arranged to meet after school for dinner over at
Brendas place.
So hows your fashion designing going? Ray asked. Oh, it was
cool, I came up with a splendid design that the professor decided
to send it to a competition against other universities! Amanda
exclaimed. Good for you, my studies are driving me nuts. Ray sad.
Ray, I know you can do it. Everyone knows you can do it. Amanda
encouraged with a pat on his shoulder. Ray smiled. Thats what he
needed, an encouragement from the girl he secretly admired.
After school, Brenda and James were waiting for Ray and Amanda at
the parking lot. They will be going to Brendas place in Jamess
Honda Civic.
Meanwhile, Amanda was rushing to her locker to put away her books
when Kenny, a nerdy in her class, bought her some flowers. Thanks
Kenny, but Im in a hurry and Im attached, She said. Fortunately
for her, Ray passed by the corridor. Kenny, this is Ray, my
boyfriend. Amanda said, pulling Ray closer to her. Kenny nodded
and walked away disappointed.
So girlfriend, Brendas waiting for us, Ray teased, trying to
kiss her. Amanda pushed him away playfully. Dont ever think about
it! Besides I do really feel bad lying to Kenny. Ray smiled to her
and together they walked to the parking lot.
At Brendas house, James parked his car in the empty garage as
Brendas parents are away for a holiday. The girls start to do the
cooking and instructed the guys to lay the table. James went into
the kitchen for some glasses while he direct Ray to the cabinet for
the crockery.
While the guys were laying the table, Brenda asked Amanda, Have
you ever given a thought about Ray? Hes a nice guy. I know but
were good friends and good friends dont date each other
romantically. Amanda reasoned.
The dinner was enjoyed with endless chatter and jokes. After they
cleared the table, they sat around the fireplace and start planning
for Brendas birthday, which will be due in another two weeks. Are
you going to invite the whole university? James teased. Of course
not, only those that we know. Brenda corrected. Once they decided
on the guest list, next would be the food. Amanda suggested
catering and it was decided.
The day before the party, Ray and Amanda were leaving the
university after school. Ray, can you fetch me to Brendas place
tomorrow? My mum used the car for her trip to my grandmas. Sure,
it will be my pleasure, Ill come by around seven? Ray smiled.
Amanda nodded. Thanks.
On the big day, Amanda was choosing her clothes when Brenda called.
Amanda, Brenda here. What are you wearing tonight? Well, a black
tube dress with heels. Great and Ill lend you my pajamas.
Brenda said and hung up.
Amanda got dressed and put on some natural make up. Her long hair
was tied up in a sleek ponytail. By the time shes done, it was
already seven fifteen. Ray was waiting patiently across the road.
Sorry Ray, Amanda apologized, rushing towards the car. Its
okay, you look stunning tonight. Ray complimented, scanning her
from head to toe. She smiled and got into the car. Ray was dressed
in a blue long sleeved shirt and black pants. Sitting on the rear
seat, was the present for Brenda.
When they reached Brendas place, everyone was already there. They
greeted a few friends and proceeded to find Brenda in her room
upstairs. They knocked on the door and James opened it. Amanda
found Brenda sitting at her dressing table, doing her make up.
Wow! You are so beautiful tonight. Amanda exclaimed. Thanks
Amanda, you looked great too. Brenda smiled happily. She wore a
silver spaghetti long dress and matching heels.
The party was a success. Brenda cut the cake and received presents
from everyone. Ray and Amanda went to the porch and got themselves
seated on the rattan chairs. They were looking at the starry sky
when someone accidentally knocked into Ray, resulting a peck on
Amandas cheek. Both of them blushed.
Amanda. I like you. I know it sound weird but you dont have to
say anything, I just want to tell you how I feel and Ill always be
there for you, Ray confessed. Amanda was shocked that her mouth
was opened wide. Ray, I know. I like you too. We are good
friends. She said, refusing to admit that she too, likes Ray a
lot.
For the next few days in school, Amanda avoided Ray. She didnt
know how to face Ray. When she got home one day, she got a call
from the police, saying that her mother was killed in a highway car
accident. She didnt know what to do and couldnt find Brenda. She
decided to call Ray. Ray rushed over to her side, consoled her and
accompanied her to the morgue. She was too sad to handle the
funeral and Ray took over the duties. He made sure that he never
leaves her alone. She realized that and knew that she loved him.
Amanda, be strong, remember Im always here. Ray said, giving her
a hug. She cried.
After making all the funeral arrangements, Ray took Amanda home and
conveyed the news to James and Brenda. They were shocked and
offered their condolences to Amanda. Dont be too sad, life has to
go on. James consoled. Amanda, if you need anything, remember to
call me. Brenda offered. Amanda said thanks and kept quiet. She
looked around the house and relived all the events that had
happened. She cant help but broke down again. Ray could see that
Amanda needs someone to be there for her, to love and care for
her.
It was a month later and Amanda is still grieving over her mothers
death. Its time Amanda face the reality, Ray thought. Since then
Ray spent almost all his time with Amanda. Gradually, Amanda
realized that she cant lose Ray and she loved him. She started to
brace herself and to star anew in her life. I cant give up life,
when Ray didnt give me up. Amanda said to herself. She didnt
want Ray to worry about her anymore. Ray saw the changed in her and
was overwhelmed. Life has to go on and I didnt want to lose all
the people who love and care for me. And I do love you, Ray.
Amanda declared and hugged Ray.
When Brenda and James heard about the news, they cant hide another
happy news to their friends. We are getting engaged. The couple
declared. Ray and Amanda were happy for the couple.
It was an ending that everyone had wanted.
