Funny Moments (1st)

“Who will you rescue if both of us are dangling at the edge of the cliff, just barely holding on with our hands..?” Joe asked me.

It was another lesson without any substitute teacher, so we basically talked for a whole hour in class during lessons. The whole class was in a chatting spree. The four of us were at ‘it’ again. But, this conversation turns out to be really funny.

I chose not to answer that question and Seb butt in and said, “You chose to run away.”

I was like, “Whatever.”

Then, they asked Elle. She was thinking of the question carefully, but she was thinking a tad bit too long, hesitantly looking at Seb, then at Joe. Then Seb repeated, “Minty chose to run away.” He pointed at me. “Oh.”

Elle paused then said happily, “Then, I chose to run away too! Problem solved.”

“But we have the car keys, and we’re in the middle of nowhere and there’s only one car,” Joe added.
Elle giggled, “Well, I’ll just call a cab.”

Joe then said, “Minty would probably stomp on our hands and let us fall.” I was giggling. Then he said, totally abandoning his Math homework now that he’s in the groove. “Okay, let’s make it easier. What if both of us are dangling on two individual ropes, a black pit beneath us and you’re holding the other end of the rope while the other end is tied.”

Is this question easier?

I was doing my homework when I couldn’t resist and told Elle to think first before taking action. “Psst. Who would you save?”

“Er..”

“Joe wouldn’t be an excellent choice to make, because would he care to repay your kindness? I think he would push you in it and walk away congratulating himself,” I said.

A whine came from Seb, “Why wouldn’t anyone save me? Minty would probably save Joe, 'coz she likes him... What about me??" He was in a full-throttle whining mode. We ignored him. Joe decided to change the question again into a much more easier no-brainer.

“Okay fine. What if you, Elle are gonna fall in with Seb and me, but you value your life more and has only enough strength to pull one in before slipping into the Pit of Doom and has to let go one. Who would you choose?” Joe wished it was him. He kept making distressing sounds, “Save me! Oh..! Rescue me!”

I told Elle to THINK! And you know what Joe said?

“Oh, so now Elle would just hold up her hands, palm facing-out and say, ‘Wait, let me think.’, and let both of us fall,” He faked bitterness in his voice. But we all laughed at his comments!! All for of us are joining in the fun until I broke it and said, “I’ll save Seb, ‘coz he would be a better… person,” I was struggling to find the right words, as to not insult Joe, but he took it as an insult anyway.

“But, I’m your good friend. Why won’t you rescue me??” He then kept whining on and on and on and ON! Then he hit me with my homework. Seb chimed in, “’Coz you wouldn’t save him. You wouldn’t save him. She’ll save me, HAH!”

Joe then said, “Shut up or I’ll Punch Your Balls.”

I said, “Hey! We’re all good friends. But some take more years to get to the stage of ‘close friends’. Like Yolanda. Gosh, I have to have acquaintance with her for almost 2 years until she warms up to me.”
Joe snorted, “I became good friends with Andy, Yen and some other blokes just after one week.”

“Yea, and filmed a gay porn movie together,” I smirked.

“Yea, and that.”

Seb cut in. “Chaz did took some naked guys’ pics.”

Elle and I was like grossed out.

“Ha, with Chaz, just tell him a good porn story and he’ll say, ‘Oh, we’re good friends’,” Joe chuckled.

Just then, Drew came and talked to Elle about some homework and after he left, we teased her unmercilessly.

After a few minutes, she wanted to acquire if Kane cut his hair. I asked Joe and he said yes and he asked, “Why?” I pointed at Elle, which is a big mistake, because it triggered the ‘Suitor’s List’. We started to list out all the guys that are ‘after’ Elle, (which is not true, but we still love to tease her about it.) Joe then yelled, “Elle likes Kaaaane!” And the whole class believed it; Elle tried to defend herself and Kane gave Joe the ‘finger’. Joe also said, “Winston, don’t cry k?”

“Alright, there’s Mr. Drew, Mr. Kane, Mr. Winston. Who would you choose?” Joe counted his fingers.
Elle said, “Mr. Tan.” Which meant her father, but Joe took it wrongly and call out to the whole class, “ELLE LIKES ZACHARY TAN!!!!” We were howling in laughter, but Elle. She buried her head on my shoulder and asked over and over again. “Make them stop. Why are they doing this?’’

The other students were making fun at Winston, saying, “Wins, don’t cry cause Elle like Kane and not you.. Don’t go suicidal or anything.”

But everyone went quiet and the laughter died down. Oh, and Seb still use ‘Batman Fever’ as his excuse for slashing me with his plastic ruler and getting all hyped up about nothing.

I told Winter about Seb’s obsession with her and she was a tad bit suspicious of the credibility of my words. And I told Seb I told her which is a BIG mistake. I totally regret it, ‘coz Seb makes me feel guilty by giving me the sad look and I was compelled to apologize to him. Now, he keeps saying how I spoilt everything for him. First Westie, now Winter.

Oh, and hmm.. Malaysia has this National-Service Training thing compulsory to all chosen after-SPM (Important Government Evaluation’s Test) students. It’s like undergoing military training. For guys and girls who are 16 or 17 yeas of age. What do you think?
