what do you do then if you see a fellow schoolmate 50 metres away? usually i sneak a peak up, see them, whirl my head round and pretend to look for my bus 50 miles in hiding. turn back, avoid their gaze, seem absorbed with my fantastic uncut and unpolished fingernails and only look up when i'm almost nearing the bus stop.
one time i spotted my history teacher walking down chinese high slope in the direction of my bustop. i was the only lonely soul around in that desolated blasphemous hour of the morning. i jumped to the sidecurb and prayed 156 would fly by a la harry potter. As Laydee Luck would have it, she doesn't give you your way when you need it most. i panicked, waved desperately at any bus with impelling eyes and got on the first one that flew by.
no i don't have an inferiority complex. icy and "dao" aren't befitting either. do you make eye contact and acknowledge each other's presence 10000m away? ok then what? is eye contact maintained for 400 lightyears till both of you are at arm's length or you look away for a while then resume eye contact when it seems at a safer nearer distance? if it were very good friends like my immediate clique, i'd stare menacingly, penetratingly, intensely so till we were close enough to burst into mild giggles and slight cynical remarks. there was this once hong and i spotted each other a distance away and we behaved like exaggerated monkeys with overgrown arms and hands and hair waving and pulling faces while other people hurled away horrified by our disgusting display of ape-ness.
other than that i pretend i don't know you till we're standing breast to breast. no pun intended Joyce Lim unzipped at 10:02 PM with 0 comments
