The Story About Angel & Dolphin
Dolphin & Angel
She is an angle, flying around the earth, seeking her ever-lasting true love,
He is a dolphin, swimming at his endless sea, dreaming he could soar to the sky one day.
Is it ridiculous if they are in love?
Is there any true love existed between them?
One day, they met in the dream, without any discrimination, distance and obstacle,
She could give him the sweetest kiss no matter how deep the sea he lived; he could hug her easily no matter how high she lived.
Chapter Ⅰ
The first day of middle school
She stood outside the classroom, searching her name on the bulletin board
“Alice, Class one, Grade one”.
“Jenny, Betty, where are they?” she continued looking for their names.
“Hey, Alice, I am in Class 4,” Jenny said.
“What did you say? Class 4, I am in Class 4 too.” Betty added.
“But I am in Class one.” She spurted out.
Jenny, Betty and Alice were in the same class from nursery school to primary school. They did everything together.
The school bell rang, seeing Jenny and Betty rushing into their classroom hand in hand, she stopped at the door of Class one, her heart was pounding with tense.
“Be brave, Alice, just to befriend with new classmates”
Hundreds of eyes focusing on her, she could feel her cheeks flushed, her sweat soaring through the T-shirt; he saw there is an empty seat in row 3, number 2, she rushed into the room and took a seat firmly.
The school bell rang again, all of sudden, a boy threw in. She glanced at the classroom, there still one vacant left, row 2, number 3.
“Thanks Goodness, I am not the last, “she murmured.
Then, the head teacher came, bales of new books in his hands.
“Good morning, boys and girls, I am your new head teacher, Mr. Jameson...
Now I would like to give the chance to the monitor of Class one, “
“Alice, would you like to come to the platform, so that your classmates could see you clearly?”
She could feel her face was burned with astonishment, standing in the front of her new classmates; everything was new to her, the school, the classroom, the classmates and the teachers. She gave a brief introduction of herself, and helped the teacher to distribute the textbooks.
In middle school, everything was different; you had to learn the rules and personalities of at least six teachers instead of two. This day seemed so long for her; she missed her dear Jenny and Betty, the happy days of primary school. There were different kinds of kids in her class, she haven’t made friends easily.
Chapter Ⅱ
A Vivid parrot
Weeks went by, things became easier and easier. One day, it’s her duty to clean the classroom, she cleaned row by row, suddenly, and a picture came to her eyes, it’s a parrot, a vivid parrot. Being absorbed by this drawing, she stopped at the desk, tried to find out the creator of this picture.
She rushed to the platform; there was a name list on it.
“One two, three, Number 3 Row 2, oh, David, who is that?”
She had never known that there would be an “artist” in her class. Out of curiosity, she wished she would know more about him.
He was an eccentric; no more words could be heard from him expect answering the teacher’s questions. He was on his own. He didn’t care how many scores he got in the exam, he didn’t care what a kind of student he was in the teachers’ eyes, what kind of person he was in the classmates’ mind. What’s more, he had never talked to girls.
She had no idea why she would be so interested in this guy. She was hunger for talking with him and even being his friend.
There must be something unusual hidden in his inner world.
“Could I borrow your pen, my pen is lack of ink.” She said softly.
He glanced up her face and threw the pen to her.
The next day, she returned his pen,
“Thanks for lending me the pen”, Thanks! She said politely.
Still, no response. He put the pen into his pencil case and said nothing.
What a cool guy! Why he was so cold and free? What set him so far from others?
Winter ended, spring came. She got the first place in the class; she played an active role in school, attending all kinds of activities, and did everything tip-top.
Another boy in the neighbor class seemed to have an eye on her, she could receive many silly notes, such as” you are the most pretty girl in my mind” everyday, even the so called “love letters”. The notes and letters made her disgust; they would be tore seriously whenever she saw them. But one day, David helped the boy to send her a letter. She glared at him,
“Don’t give me such disgusting letters!’
Still, dead silence.
As usual; she tore them in front of the classroom without seeing one word. She just felt confused why he would help others to do such stupid behavior?
That night, the teacher talked with her personally.
“I heard that you received many letters recently, I hope you would not be distracted by that, those guys, who wrote letters to you, such as David, are bad students, and you are different from them. Those guys never cared about their study……..
“He never wrote to me”, she cut in.
“You don’t need to say good for him, I will talk to him.”
“But…
“Don’t worry about that; go back for your class”. Her teacher patted her tenderly.
She could strongly felt that something bad would occur.
Chapter Ⅲ
The last glance
Everything seemed all right.
After spring festival, another new semester came.
On the first night of the semester, all the kids were so excited to share their joys during the winter holiday; they chuckled and laughed, chatting all the time, how much “lucky money “they got, where they went, what they did, etc.
Standing alone on the hallway, listening to the drizzle in spring, she could feel a chill flowing down to her toe. She still got the first place in the class; she was still admired by her classmates. But she knew there was a kind of solitude inside, which made her have a strong impulse to change her old routine. How could it be? She was the only child of her family, the apple in her parents’ eyes, the routine had been arranged since she born: nursery school-primary school-middle school-senior high school- university- job—marriage. Following this routine step by step, that’s her life.
He passed by her as if they had never knew before, still that cold eyes, but this time, it felt like a little bit different , suddenly, he slowed down his pace and turned around, she gazed at him. For many moments, there was only silence. They could not take away the eyes from each other, and the veil of time lift, she could recognize something subtle behind his eyes.
“Alice, what are you doing now? The teacher is looking for you”. Petty dragged her into the classroom.
“Why the teacher said he was a bad student, did the teacher know he had genius of drawing? He was not as bad as they said. I should help him, I am the monitor, it that a good thing, if I can help my classmate to study? Then we can encourage each other, study together. I will be his friend, and he will not so cold and lonely. I should say to him, to be my friend”.
These words haunted her all the time, finally, she made up her mind to befriend with him.
The next day, he didn’t come to the class.
“He might ask for leave.” She thought.
One day, two days and three days…went by, he was still absent.
“What is up with that guy, was he ill?”
