.::Chapter Ten::..
At the Motorcycle shop
Ralph was repairing a motorcycle, when Yolla rushed into the motorcycle shop. He did not notice Yolla.
Yolla: Hi!
Ralph turned and saw Yolla. He was shocked, but he was happy. He had read the book and tried writing for the top few cranes and it really work! He felt so embarrassed that he was here in the dirty motorcycle shop.
Ralph: … hi!
Yolla: You must be Ralph right?
Ralph nodded his head.
Yolla: I forgive you and … was very touched by what you did.
Ralph smiled.
Yolla: I am Yolla Yeo, from class 3.2.
She stretched her hand out to shake his hand. He too, stretched his hands out, but realizes that his hands were dirty and shakes it in front of her.
Yolla smiled: Okay.
Just then, Uncle Lim walked out. He saw Yolla and Ralph blushing and knew immediately that Yolla was the girl that Ralph had a crush on.
Uncle Lim: Hello. It's been long since a beautiful lady like you walk into our shop. No wonder our dear Ralph is like a red apple now!
Uncle Lim started laughing at his own jokes, and Yolla started blushing too. Ralph was so embarrassed that he walked into the office.
Uncle Lim: Don't mind him, he is just shy.
Yolla: Oh, never mind.
She looked around.
Yolla: I think I should go home now.
Uncle Lim: You sure you don't want to stay and chat longer?
Yolla: No thanks, I think I should be back at my parents' shop already.
Uncle Lim: Okay…erm…Ralph! This pretty lady here is going home! Come and walk her home!
Uncle Lim went into the office and pushed Ralph from the back out of the office and next to Yolla.
Uncle Lim: Come on, you can't possibly let her walk home alone right?
Ralph thought hard, and finally he nodded and smiled to Yolla, then started walking. Yolla followed behind him. Once outside the motorcycle shop, Yolla had a better look at Ralph.
Yolla (thought): He looks rather cute with such a sharp nose and beautifully messed up hair. He also has a tan body…
Ralph realized that he was walking too fast, so he stopped and turned to wait for Yolla and found her staring at him. They looked away at the same time. Yolla could feel her heart thumping fast, while Ralph felt the same way either. Yolla broke the silence.
Yolla: I think I will make my way to the shop myself. Thanks for sending me till here, and I forgive you.
She flashed her signature smile, turned her head, swaying her hair through the wind and left. Ralph was mesmerized and stood there staring at her back till she turned at the corner. He wanted to see her again, so decided to find her in her parents' shop the next day since it was a Saturday.
