Three-In-One
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you
Right now...
Sorry for not updating for SO long, but this post will combine a total of three days' events together.

She'd just gotten into the pool when she caught sight of a large group of teenage guys; there were about six of them, and they looked seventeen or eighteen at least. She didn't think too much of them at that time, and ran off to the Slide Tower.
When she hit the splash-down pool and headed up for a second round, she was surprised to see the same bunch of guys she'd noticed earlier going up with her as well, talking and laughing loudly. She tried to study their faces without them seeing. They weren't bad-looking; tanned and tall and definitely the sporty type. But again, she ignored them until when she got out of the splash down pool into the river rapids, and realised that they seemed to be tailing her. They were just behind her.
She went to another pool to see if they followed. Again, the whole group got up after her. Finally she went back to the rapids and as she was splashing through the water to the slide tower again, the group caught up with her, and one of the guys asked her, "What's your name?"
She was shocked at first, but soon answered, "Theresa."
He smiled and gave his name and the others', but she didn't really take in their names - there were far too many for her to remember anyway. When the same guy (his name was Trev, or so the others called him) asked for her number, she simply gave it and realising that she had to leave by then, waved goodbye to the group and ran to join her dad and sister, who were at another pool.
The entire group of guys messaged her that night, and as she looked at the SMSes she had sent, she sighed. Her phone bill could not possibly be any lower than $80, and the absolute limit was $50.
But then, even if her phone line would be cut within the arrival of the next phone bill, at least she had the opportunity to meet some new guys for a change.

She was seated comfortably at the counter, reading a book and waiting for an anime episode of Jigoku Shoujo to load. Then she looked up as a shadow obstructed her reading light, and faced a tall girl who, from the looks of her uniform, was 15 years old. The girl smiled, "You're a librarian?"
"Yeah."
"Haven't seen you around often before. What's your name?"
"Theresa."
"Cool." She entered into the section behind the counter, which meant that she had the authorization to do so and not be barked at by the teacher in charge of the library who was seated at her own computer nearby. She was clearly another librarian.
"What are you watching?" she asked, peering at the monitor and taking a seat beside her.
"Jigoku Shoujo. Hell Girl. An anime. Do you watch it?"
She shook her head. "Never heard of it. But it sounds cool. Hey," she said, seeing the eBuddy messenger pop up on the monitor. "Add me too." She gave her email and viewed her (Theresa's) friendster.
"What's flirty, exactly?" She asked, reading the About Me section on the page.
At that moment, a tall, upper secondary boy wanted to borrow a book, so Theresa took his book, typed in it's barcode and his IC, and said, "I'll show you what's the meaning of flirty."
She passed the book back to the boy and said, "Hey cutie, can I have your number?" Turning her attention back to the girl, she answered, "THAT'S flirting."
The boy was clearly shocked. He took his book and hurried off.
She and the other girl just laughed.

During Math period, the last session of the day, she noticed that Irsyad, a small-sized Malay boy of whose cheeks she liked pinching had JOB DONE! stickers stuck all over the shoulders of his shirt.
The sight looked so funny she couldn't resist taking pictures of him with the stickers, although it was a great risk to take in front of such a strict teacher.
She'd also managed to acquire the ball in which the stickers were rolled in after Irsyad had peeled them off his back.
(Photos later.)
Tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see
'Cause that's the way I feel, about you and me, baby...
