Hebe(groaning): ...whats happening..
she shrugged her blankets off her and dragged herself sleepily towards the window and drew the curtains. the bright sun rays that entered her eyes immediately shattered any further hopes of sleeping longer.
then. she remembered.
Hebe(frenziedly): what time is it?!
she turned to look at her clock, and it read 1020.
Hebe(in utter shock): im.. im.. gonna be late!!
today was the last day of the registration for university which she worked so hard throught the holidays for. the registration closed at 11 am sharp so it stated. she immediately changed out of her pajamas and sported her normal look, tied up her hair and donned a plain shirt with jeans, with a heavy dark-rimmed spectacles. she looked exactly like the typical nerd, and rushed out of her house.
[RoadSide]
Hebe(literally shouting): Taxi! Taxi!
almost immediately, a taxi pulled up to her side, the driver, was show. show came from a poor family too, father was a taxi driver while mother was a factory worker. he had worked out a schedule with his father which stated that he will take the taxi on alternate weeks to give his father a rest day every fortnight.
Hebe(calming herself down): sir,please drop me at the TWU and please hurry up. thanks
show(shocked): u going to register for the university too?
Hebe(clearly shocked at the question, replied with a small voice):Yes.
Show(determined): then we gotta hurry. cos it closes at 11.
it was 1045 then, with 15 minutes to spare. the average taxi driver would take 25 minutes travelling time. but show, looking at Hebe, knew that she was poor but hardworking, knew the importance of the university to her. (partly because of the nerd look) he stepped on the accelerator and drove at a impressive speed of 140km/h, double the speed limit.
Hebe(soft tone): Sir, i think u are driving too fast.
Show(friendly): no problem a ticket is worth it as long as u get on time.
Hebe(comforted): thank you, you dont look too old yourself.
Show(insulted): im not! im 18. im enrolling in the same school as you,thats why i know.
Hebe(embarassed):sorry.. i did not mean that.
Hebe(shyly):i am Tian Fu Zhen Hebe, commerce course.
Show: wow same course maybe same class! so what do i address you as? u have poor communications skills...
Hebe(taken aback): er..er..er.. just Hebe...
[10 minutes later]
Show(smiling): i was just kidding. look here we are! record time. 10 minutes. the trip is free!
Hebe(shocked): n.. n... noo i cant, how much is it?
Show: nah its ok, i know u are not too well to do. anyway i love charity! u had best hurry lest u are late.
Hebe: Thanks
Show: see you around the campus!
with that, Hebe quickly left the taxi without a good bye. a warm feeling crept into her heart, it was the first time she had ever spoke with a guy more than 5 sentences. shw was usually very shy with strangers. she had no real friends, all were study mates whose chat topc did not cross the subject topic. with that in mind, she smiled at herself and went into the booth with 5 minutes to spare and registered for the course.
[Show's POV]
that girl is weird. she looks totally nerdy. but i sensed.. a special connection with her.. something i can not explain. it must be the fact we have poor folks. yes.. that's it.. we have poor folks. but damn i should have asked her for her number or something. she is a very interested character. especially her looks. i think if she changes to long hair...as Show's mind trailed off, he suddenly heard a message over the GPS system.
Computertised Voice: Passenger pick up at China Town street 23 outside the 7-11.
Show: alright. im on my way.
with that, he starting humming a tune and continued on with his job as a taxi driver.
