Chapter 1: Beginning of School 

“Hey Paul! How are you? It's been sometime since we have gone out
together.” Came the voice from Vincent. A close friend of Paul who is 
about the same height as Paul but slightly skinny. 

“Erm, Vincent... I'm busy with some girl I just got to know from
school.” Came the reply from Paul. 

“huh... What? You are dating a girl... Are you crazy? You have just
started schooling and you are dating a girl right now. You ought to be 
kidding.” Vincent replied surprising. 

“No, I don't think I sound as if I am telling a joke. Neither do I look
like a clown in anyway...” 

“Alight, you win. I wish you all the best in coping with your newfound
girlfriend and studies. Hey meet you after school at about one in the 
afternoon” 

After saying that, Vincent quickly hurried off to the next lesson at the
lecture theatre a few levels down. While, Paul is having a break at the 
school cafeteria with his girlfriend by the side. Both Vincent and Paul 
are taking the same diploma course but they will be studying different 
topics for the current semester. 

-------- 

After school that day, Paul met up with Vincent and they both went for a
cup of coffee over at the schools food court. They chatted about how 
they had spent the six month long holidays since have not been 
contacting one another during that long period. 

During the past 6 months, Paul has been busy with working in the sales
line while VIncent is having a good time traveling and working on 
freelance web designing. He traveled to Perth in Australia, and got the 
chance to see a kangaroo in the wild. In addition, he spotted the Koala 
Bear and had hands on experience of feeding the sheep during a farm 
visit. 

Time passed by very quickly, Paul started to date Samantha. Both of them
are in the same institution, but pursuing different courses. She took 
up the Diploma in Intelligence Building. 

They came to know each other through an online chat channel about a
month ago. It was not love at first sight. They had endless chat about 
their life goals and how they wish to go about achieving them. They 
seem to have very similar ambitions. Both wanted to excel in the 
fields, which they are pursuing now. Samantha is slightly shorter than 
Paul is, but she is slim and medium build. Both also share the same 
pastimes – swimming, cycling, jogging and sleeping. They share the same 
birth date too. 

When they met up for the first time, Peter did not really have a good
impression on her, she was late by 10minutes. She apologized and gave 
him a reason that was acceptable. She had a cheerful look, and is easy 
going. As they began to hang out more often together, a bond started to 
form between them. There was some chemistry between them that started 
to form. They went did almost every sport together, and shared the many 
fun moments all the way until the time when school began in July. 

Chapter 2: Friends or Foe 

“So how did you get to know this girl I saw earlier on?” asked Vincent.
