* Un nuevo semestre = A new semester

The mid-term holiday had finally passed. A new semester, a new, boring week for all the students...

Including Chen and Ting, feeling sleepy on the way to class. In their mind, all they want is just a heavy sleep till noon. But now, they felt like their dreamland was grabbed.

They checked the name list for their class.

"Chen, it looks like we're not in the same class anymore," said Ting.

"Yeah... maybe you did not do well in the previous exam," Chen replied.

"It's OK, I'll try again next time. Well, where's 3-B?"

3-A. Now, lack one pupil from the class. It was Geoff Ting Hong Kui. Wherelse, Takeru Chen Kuang Lai stayed in that class.

Chen moves on to 3-A. There, he hid behind the door.

One of the students said, "Where's Pinku Chen today? I guess he's still afraid to come to class."

"Yeah, especially when his chicken sidekick had been lowered to 3-B..."

Cock-a-doodle-doo!!!!

That word can be heard repeatedly from that class. Chen feels so humiliated. Especially, when his friends still call him a chicken.

Then, some high-heel steps heard from the stairs.

"Oh no,... it's Miss Fanny!"

"Should I enter the class now, or not?"

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!! PINKU CHEN IS NOT HERE!!!

"Should I...?"

* Sonrojo = Blushed

He ran away from the class and followed by Gade from behind. Then, Chen accidentally hit something...

"What did he hit?," asked Veronica.

"Um... hard to say... Come here..."

Ting whispers to Veronica. Suddenly, Veronica felt blushed upon hearing it.

"Really? He hit that?"

"Yep. Can I continue?"

"Sure."

Chen falls to the ground and found out that a girl is in front of him. She is one year older than Chen itself. Beautiful, but one scold from him can make you suffer for years!

"Hey, kiddie," said the girl.

"Yyyyeaaahhhh?" asked Chen.

"Did that Gade Guy try to hit you again?"

"Uh-hhhuhh..."

"Let me handle this. Stay back."

The girl confronts Gade while Chen hides behind her.

"So, you want a fight huh?"

"No need for that. I have my backup."

"What?"

As Gade turns back, the principal of the school is walking towards them.

"Well, you're lucky for this time, pipsqueak! Next time, you will suffer!"

Gade runs away from the scene. The girl turns to Chen and gave him a handkerchief.

"Tthankkk.. you..," said Chen.

"Just call me... Cher. You can call me Cherry."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

"And that's how he met his first love too...," said Ting.

"Fantastic! How could he don't have a GF then?"

"He broke up with her..."

"Why?"

"Ting, come here!" shouted Chen.

"Oh, I have to go now. See ya later, Veronica."

"Okie dokie."

Back into the house, Chen had awake from sleep.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to go home."

"Had enough rest?"

"Yes."

Ting sends Chen back to his home. Chen enters the house and directly gone to his room. He monologue to himself...

"Why? Why should I hate the Eves? Have I troubled Ting so much?"

"No, I can't think like that. I must keep my promise long ago. I should never broke it..."

Ting immediately falls asleep.

P/S: Can you all guess what did Chen hit?

Amor VII: Diminuto

2009-07-10T20:17:00.000-07:00

* Diminuto = Pipsqueak

"When he was a kid, he has been given a terrible name to describe his attitude," said Ting.

"What was that?" asked Veronica.

"Pipsqueak."

Ting brings us to the story when he and Ting was 13 years old...

KRIING!! The bell rings, signing that it's recess time. Chen was sitting alone in the classroom while the others are having a nice recess outside.

"What I'm supposed to do today? I'm too shy to play outside.."

Ironically, he seems to hold his pee...

"My, my... I can't hold it anymore.. I need to go outside now! Why don't I just walk backwards so that I can't see their face?"

Chen stupidly walks to the toilet in a backward manner. Suddenly, he hit someone. It seems he's a big guy, maybe studying in Form 4.

"Hey you!" shout the big guy.

"Wwwwhhhaaaaaaattttttt....????" Chen asked afraidly.

"How dare you try to hit me? Do you know who I am?"

"Nnnnooooo......"

The big guy spitted on the ground, and said..

"You little scoundrel! The whole students knows me already! Only you were staying in the dark like a silly girl! You should be ashamed for not knowing the greatest and the strongest student in this school!!"

"Wh...Wh... Who are you th.. th.. then?"

The big guy punches on Chen's face badly. Chen's nose were bleeding heavily.

"Let me tell you,...

... pipsqueak..."

"My name is Gade!! Everyone calls me Gade the Great!! Only a fool like you would easily fall in my hands!!"

Chen tried to get up, but he couldn't. Then, Ting came to the scene from the canteen. He saw Gade is trying to go near Chen.

"Better I call the headmaster now."

Meanwhile, Chen managed to get up and ran away.

"Trying to escape from Gade the Great, huh? You puny pipsqueak!"

He ran away from the class and followed by Gade from behind. Then, Chen accidentally hit something...

Amor VI: Expuestos Cabello

2009-06-28T04:39:00.000-07:00

* Expuestos Cabello = Exposed hair

"No way... That girl took my white cap!," said Chen nervously.

"I guess she's still around," said Ting.

Chen is very worried about losing his cap. Because, it falls into the hands of a girl, the type of human being that he hates so much. But, due to his hatred also, he refuses to meet any girl on earth, except his mom. Lucky for him that he is the only child. If not, he might had killed his "sister".

"Now, what I'm supposed to do? How would I face the boys? I can't show my hair here!"

"Patience, Chen. Now, why don't you come to my house? With this, you will not face any of them."

"OK, as long as I'm away from others."

Then, Ting brings Chen to his house in order to make him calm. When they arrived at Ting's house, another girl is waiting at the gate.

"Oh no...," said Chen.

"Don't worry. It's just my new neighbour. She's married."

"It's OK if you say so."

Well, actually Chen does hate girls. But, not all of them. He only hates those who are still unmarried. But upon boys, he still feel the shame except upon his father.

"Chen, why don't you come in first? I have an errand to do with her."

"OK."

Chen enters Ting's house and lay down on the couch. Minutes later, he falls asleep.

Outside, Ting is having a chat with his neighbour, Veronica.

"Who's with you, Geoff? I never see him before."

"Oh, for sure you hadn't see him. You just came here last week. He's Chen, my lifelong friend."

"You have a lifelong friend? Cool!"

"Well, but he has a little problem..."

"What is it?"

Ting tells Veronica all the things happened to Chen including the incident just now.

"What?! No wonder he covers his face in front of me.. But, why would he feel shy in front of boys?"

"He had a terrible time in school..."

Amor V: Besó a una chica

2009-06-21T20:42:00.000-07:00

* Besó a una chica = Kissed a girl

On the other hand, at the toilet. Chen is still hesitating, whether he wanted to get out from there or not.

"I've entered the men's bathroom, which means I will not meet any girl around here. Better I go out now, or I'll be trapped in this smelly stench," said Chen.

He then covers his lower face with a piece of cloth and zoomed out from there. Unfortunately, the cloth is too loose, that it falls down while he's running.

"Oh no! I had to cover my face!"

He continued running, covering his whole face until...

BAM!

... he collided with someone.

When Chen opened his eyes, he was shocked! He accidentally kissed the girl whom he collided with. The girl has the same age as him, having a long hair and a very cute eyes.

"No... I kissed a girl... I HATE!!!! HATE! HATE! HATE!"

Chen runs away from the scene without apologizing to the girl. All thing on his mind now is his hatred upon girls.

"Wait! You forgot ... Never mind ...," said the girl.

He finally managed to run away from the mall and met Ting outside. He asked Ting, "Where's the girl with you? Is she gone?" Ting nods his head. Chen feels so relieved as no girls are with him now.

Suddenly, Ting asked him, "Where's your cap?"

"What?"

"Your white cap..."

"OMG, I might left it at..."

"Where?"

"Um... nothing..."

Back at the scene...

The girl is busy shopping at the mall. On her head, she wore a white cap, written an initial "T" on it.

It was Chen's cap...

Amor IV: El Pasado

2009-06-16T06:50:00.000-07:00

Previously in Amor III:

"It's hard for me to tell it, darling.. But, I must tell you, maybe you may help."

"OK, hun."

"Well, actually Chen was..."

* El Pasado = The Past

"He once fall in love with a girl..."

"So what, darling? It's normal to have someone for us to love!"

"Shh.. I didn't finish up my story yet..."

"OK, sorry.."

"It was 2 years ago, when Chen and I entered Form 1..

He was a very shy person as he refuses to enter the class. I also wondered what's wrong with him, even since he was small.

Every time he tried to confront people, he always try to run away.."

Yvonne asked, "I knew that, you already mentioned it. Now, tell me. How did he fall in love?"

Ting replied,

"One day, he tried to run away from a gang of five boys. They are trying to turn Chen into a clown by collecting money for them by making something silly. But then, he accidentally collided with a girl, one year older than him..."

Yvonne blushed and said, "Did he land on her..."

Ting shouted, "Stop that! Don't think that Chen is a pervert..."

"Whoops.. Sorry, dear..."

"Then, he told the girl to stop them, and she did it.

From there, he managed to turn the girl as his 2nd person that he does not fear to face.
Well, there begins their love...

But, things didn't go as what should happened.

Even though the girl's face was beautiful, lied inside her is a dark heart..."

Yvonne said, "What's wrong?"

Ting answered slowly, "She's.... actually a prostitute..."

Yvonne was shocked to hear it! "What?!"

"Yes, she had been already loved by many guys, even the adult ones."

"Oh my, no wonder he doesn't want to fall in love again..."

"Actually, his shyness is just upon boys...."

"But, upon girls,... he shows his hatred side..."

Yvonne sweats rapidly upon hearing Ting's story. She then whispered in her heart,

"You're a man,... Chen..."

* Escondió la cabeza = Hid head

After a 15-minute ride, finally they arrived at the hypermarket.

"Well, actually, I can consider this place as a mall, because... it has everything! Arcades, bowling alleys, karaoke boxes, and many more. Well, I hang out here with Ting every week, but still, I hid my face from public," Chen whispered in his heart.

"Hey, Geoffy hubby, what's up?" a girl called Ting.

"Oh, I forgot... Sometimes, people called Ting as Geoff. Since it's his full name," said Chen.

"Geoffy hubby, why didn't you tell me that you came here?", said the girl.

"Darling, I'm so sorry. I purposely did not tell you, since I want to bring my friend for an outing," Ting replied.

"Is it a girl or a boy?", asked the girl.

"It's a he, dear."

"I see. That's OK."

"Here you go, Chen. She's my girlfriend, Yvonne."

"He's not with you now."

"What? Chen! Where are you?! Uh.. there goes his fever again..."

"Is he sick, hubby?"

"No, he's too shy to face others other than me."

"There's also people in this world acting like that? That's so silly, hun."

"Well, it can't be helped since the event in the past."

"What happened to him, hubby?"

Meanwhile, at the toilet inside the mall, Chen rushed into one of the rooms and locked himself inside.

"I can't face her.. I wonder who is she? Is she here to make love with me?

NO.. And there's no way I can date with any girl again! I already pledged to myself that I will never date any girl again! Oh my, what have I done? Running away from my own friend after seeing a girl..

Shoot.. now I'm trapped inside this toilet and can't get out. I'm too shy to get into the public."

Now, back to the conversation scene...

"It's hard for me to tell it, darling.. But, I must tell you, maybe you may help."

"OK, hun."

"Well, actually Chen was..."

"Argh... It's areally boring day today.. I can't think of what can I do for today. Helping my dad? No.. 'coz he's working. My mom? He will have a meeting later."

"How about if I cook? Mom had prepared lunch earlier. Aw... I have nothing to do right now!"

Suddenly, Chen got an idea. He directly go upstairs and grabbed his Sony Ericsson K550 phone. He then called his friend, Ting whether he goes out to town today.

"Yes!! Thank God! He wants to have a walk at the Ebisu Hypermarket today!"

"Remember, Chen... 10 o' clock," said Ting at the end of the phone call.

Then, he zoomed to his room and changed his clothes.

"I think I would like to wear a skater-style costume for today. But, can I face the public? Nah... daijoubou.. Ting is always on my side when I need help. A friend in need is a friend indeed," said Chen

Then, he stepped out of his house and locked the door. After a 15 minute wait, Ting came with his motorcycle. He descends from his motorcycle and approached Chen.

"Hey, Chen! Nice style you got today! You wear the skater style?"

"Um.. yeah I guess.."

"But, something's wrong..."

"What is it, Ting?"

"Hum.. Let's see.. white shirt (written on it: Love is blind), check! short khakis, ... (have a love sign), check! Knee-high socks, um... (with small, black bunny pattern on it), check! (Pink) wristband, er... check!, bla bla bla..."

"Haiz..."

"Wait a sec! Your cap.."

"Oh, yeah... I forgot 'bout it.."

He re-opened the house door and retrieve his white cap. On it is his initial letter "T" for Takeru.

"Don't wear your cap yet," said Ting.

"Why?"

"Put on your helmet, we're riding a motorbike, remember?"

"Oh, yes.."

He removed his cap and hold it with his hand grip. After all things are set, they make their way to the hypermarket.

"Finally, I can get out of my home once in a while..."

"Pinku Chen!!"

"Baka Takeru!!"

"Cuttlefish!!"

"ARGHH!! My head can't stand to hear those words anymore!! I want my own life! What will they get from teasing me?!"

*pant*pant*

"Whew, that was a bad dream... I wish not to hear those pesky words.."

"Yeah.. that's my life..

My name's Takeru Hayasegawa, born as Takeru Chen Meng Hua. I'm half-Japanese, half-Chinese. I'm still 15, now having a mid-year break. Only one week left before the next semester begins.. Haiz.. wish there's one more extra week of break..

But, I have a really wierd attitude, implemented in me since I was small. I less socialize with other people outside, except from my friend, Ting. That makes me to feel shy when I confront other people other than my family. Because of this, several nicknames are given to me... But I hate when I was called Pinku, since it means Pink.

Do, they think I'm girlish? I'm just lack of charisma to meet other people. Well, that's what I can't remove until now. Only Ting and my family always become my place to express my feelings.

It's now 8.00 am. I need to take a bath now. Luckily today is Saturday. Guess it's playtime for today. But, what should I play today?"

"Chen!!", her mom shouts.

"Yes, mom?"

"Take a bath now! I have many clothes to clean today!"

"Okay..."

"Geez, my mom really doesn't like me to wake up late. Not like Ting, he is able to sleep till noon. Kinda jealous with him."

"Oh well, now's bath time for me."

Well, that's the story of a youth, Takeru Chen and his life. Wonder how miserable his life is anyway?
