I AM currently working as a temporary teacher in my former alma mater after finishing Form Six. I was assigned to teach in the lower forms, and I got the chance to get close to J, who is in Form One this year. We have actually known each other for a few years, but we [...]
TWO years ago I got into a relationship with a guy from my tuition centre. I thought he was unbelievably hot, but my friends didn’t think so. I ignored them and added him on Facebook. We chatted frequently, almost everyday, actually. I found out that he had a girlfriend who was my junior in school. [...]
