Booba, I want you to face me this August reunion !

Remember prom night ?

No, not the soppy slasher-flick horror film, but the real-time prom night featuring Convent Bukit Nanas and Victoria Institution which took place in The Loft on December 19th last year. Readers might find it in Five U Alumni or My occasional ramblings.

Anyway, my French teacher Daniel K was talking to me early this morning and he was complaining about how my friend Booba could not be trusted very much. Apparently he kept on cancelling classes at the last minute. So much for someone who is bound to sit for exams next week, right before summer holidays begin. I told DK about how I spent RM80 on an extra ticket, and how Booba blew it. Booba is in the French High School and thus his holidays, school term dates and examination dates are different from the rest of us. Out of goodwill, I invited him over to the prom because I needed a date. And he said yes. Then came December 19th. It was Narin's birthday and her day out too. So we went. All who were present waited for The Loft to be redecorated and redone. After twenty minutes, the doors of The Loft were opened, the lights at the stairs turned on and everyone went up. I called Booba and said, oi, are you coming ? Turned out that he did not make it because of a quizzam some time later.

I was like, bloody * man ! I wasted RM80 out of goodwill !! And it was somewhat unbelievable : the day before the prom, he told me he would be there.

And when DK heard all this, he was like, what ?

Booba, I want you to face me this August reunion !!

Sometimes, when it calls for a showdown of words, we have to do it. And in front of everyone else, I will ask him what actually compelled him to say yes when at the end of the day, he could not make it. I felt quite disappointed, and then again, later I was dancing on my own in my black-and-white floral print dress. A few people wanted to date me but it did not feel the same with a good friend around. Other than Narin and my Ressonnant friends, I had no one around. Many of them left early and thus, I felt a bit lonely. After the prom, I never saw him online. The last I saw his username go online, was after a long while : I think it was two days ago. I beeped him to see if he was doing fine. His friend was in front of the PC instead. And I wanted to talk to him !

No, honestly, even DK knows this. I am going to extort Booba on reunion day.
