"And so the curve show us about the inequality that country X is experiencing ... " rattled off Professor Steve. Kayla was attending an early morning lecture but her mind was drifting away. She thought about the night ahead. The wonderful night she was about to have. It was after all, Wednesday, the night all ladies got in free at the clubs in town. She thought about dancing in her stilettos to her favourite R&B hits. She thought about the number of jaggerbombs and tequila shots she would have. And she thought about the hot guys she would meet. As the smile lingered in her lips, she was awoken by a quick jot from Nicole.
"Hey, can you lend me this week's homework answers?" asked Nicole.
"Who in the right mind does homework on exchange? Lady!! You're here to explore the world. Spend you time earning experiences not homework credits!! " replied Kayla.
"Hey, not everyone is like you to just have pass fail credits. My letter grades will be counted towards my graduation."retorted Nicole.
"Just get someone to do your homework for you. Come on, it's lady's night. Take a break and let's hit the clubs together."
"Only if you help me find someone who has the answers."
"That's a piece of cake. Trust me with it. Ok, so I'll see you tonight at my hostel room. We can dress up together. Help each other with our makeup and styling. Oh! It would be so fun!!!
"Ok, see you at 7pm then. By the way, how's things with you and bean pole guy."
Kayla blushed. It had been two weeks since she met bean pole guy. Bean pole guy was this tall and skinny Asian dude. He was from Hong Kong and also on exchange in Singapore. Kayla met him while they were at the introduction party for incoming exchange students. She was hanging out with a group of girlfriends when she had to excuse herself to go to the toilet. It was on her way there when bean pole guy and her first made eye contact.
Bean pole guy spent the whole night eyeing Kayla. It was so obvious that her group of girlfriends started teasing her and Nicole even said, "Who is that tall skinny guy. He looks like a bean pole!"
Kayla ignored the question as secretly deep inside her, a tiny spark and chemistry was growing inside her. Could this be it? She had been single for awhile. Her last break up a year back was terrible. She had been crying buckets loads of tears every night and he was her first. It was hard letting go. She had met many guys after that but they just did not click. Bean pole guy was different. The moment they met, she could feel an electric spark that was triggering inside her. She was hoping to accidentally bump into bean pole guy tonight. It had been two weeks since she last saw him.
