"Relationships: It takes both hands to clap."

In primary school, being the kid I was, I sat alone in class. Until one day, when this girl came and sat beside me and disturbed my peace. She was transfered to the school that I was in at that time and was crying since day one. I found out that she was transferred to the primary school I was in. Maybe she missed her former primary school friends so much. I do not know. What I knew was that she was irritating and I want my peace back.

Since I sat beside her, my teacher told me to try and get along. Well, I tried and soon succeeded not only in keeping her quiet, but making her my first friend. After some time she settled in, and had girl friends soon. I had my guy friends. In primary school, the guys will always have something against the girls and vice versa. So, we grew apart, but remain friends. In class, she let me copy her Malay homework when I didn't do..hehe. I guess that's my Malay was never that good.

One day, well everyday, my guy friends would always disturb her group of friends. It was like boys against girls thing. Since, she was my friend, I stood there and pondered why guys are cruel to girls and why can't there be peace? From then onwards, I think I grew a heart that is devoted not to hurt girls' feelings. We actually got together for a few months. One particular day, she told me not to contact her as her family would find out. I respected her decision and did what she told me to. It was too quiet for a relationship, so I called her months later. She told me it was over a long time ago as she is now with another guy. I felt heartbroken, and was stupid of me not contacting her sooner.

Well, what has happened, has happened. I didn't hurt her feelings, but she did hurt mine. She clearly didn't play her part. So, who was at fault? I dare not say. I am with another now, and I am happy and thankful that I have her by my side. I'll cherish her. Hopefully, this time both hands would be clapping..
