How bout a lil' story?

There was this girl who was shy and quiet. She was that way for 14 years before she decided to change the following year. She pledged to speak out more often and smile. So the first day went with her trying to talk to almost everyone. In fact she was happy with the effort made and thought, "Hey, I may actually love it here." And so a few days passed before the next ecounter that changed her life.

It was at a bus stop. The day was fairly alright. With the usual nagging and homework given by the teachers. The girl was quietly sitting at the bus stop, thinking about what she should do when she reached home. A few minutes later the bus arrived. She looked up and something nudged her to glance at the queue. Just seperated by one stranger, a girl wearing the exact same uniform was standing behind and for a moment they just stared. Until the other girl raised her hand to wave and flashed a smile.

This girl on the other hand was momentarily stunned. The only thing she could do was smile. :D <- a big one like that. But in her mind, frantic thoughts went through her head. Questions such as 'Do I know her?' and 'Have I seen her before?' ran through her mind. So she looked back at the bus and started moving down the queue to move up the bus. She then sat at the middle of the bus near the exit while the other girl walked up to the end of the bus. Being shy, she didn't dare to look up. For the 15 minutes journey home, she kept her eyes locked on the floor, feinting interest in her own file that she carried. When her stop came, not knowing if the other girl was still in the bus or not, she hurried off the bus, blushing in embarassment for not recognising the girl. So that was the start. The start of a friendship which would last for a lifetime.

Want to know the ending? Well, you've just got to sit and watch. All I can say is that the main girl went through a lot of ups and downs. Experienced the pain of losing a friend and making new ones. The joy of forgiving and forgetting. The other girl on the other hand played a main role in this girl's life, encouraging her and teaching her the fun in life. What happens to these two girls? Let's just say they became the best of friends.

(Sweet story, isn't it?)
