From that day on, Dan would arrive to school earlier than usually. His eagerness to see Sue became stronger and stronger. When she arrived, Dan would run up to her and end up speechless. There are a lot of things Dan want to say to Sue but it just won’t come out. His love for her is so strong, every time Dan has time he tends to think about that moment when Sue wiped his face with the tender tissue. Every night before sleeping he thinks, he just can’t stop thinking about her. Is one crazy guy or is it the power of love?

     For a week straight, Dan had dreamt about Sue and was late for school. Who can actually wake up in a sweet dream? Dan really wants to express his feelings to her but he’s afraid that he would get rejected. As his love grows for her, his confidence had also grown. Dan really wants her to feel that same way about him, like he does to her.

     One day, Dan can’t handle the soreness and planned to propose to her. He rehearsed and practiced, how he would propose in a way that is comfortable to them both. “Wo Ai Ni Ah” (I love you in Mandarin) he thought to himself. “No no no no” too narrow. “I’ll make an appointment with her in the back staircase and propose there. First, I’ll say I love you. Then, I’ll hug her tight. If she lets go, I know what to do. If not, I’ll give her a kiss.” Dan said to himself. Every night he would think about his proposal and fix it a bit or add to it.

     The day had come; it was time to do it. He went up to her and asked her to come out. “cher lay ah” (come out) “yoew yeah tong lay kong ah.” (I got something to tell you) The person who you like, is it me? Dan asked in a chitchat way. Sue’s face turned red as a tomato. There was a 30 second delay before she answered. “No” she said. Dan didn’t want to continue because he knows the answer. Dan thought that she likes him. With that assumption, he walked away with a smirk on his face.
