She never really has good self-esteem. Very shy too. Eventhough sweetness and kindness are part of her features and nature as a person, but she has one problem that she hates.
She sweats alot. A lot!
The sweat glands practically dominate most of her. Her forehead. Her face - specifically at her eye bag and her philtrum.
And yes even her armpit and palm for goodness sake!!!
It doesn't help at all when she is also facing all the peer pressures and comparison. Most teenagers have to go through one point or another. Blame the hormone.
There is this one cool guy that every girls is talking about. And she is one of them. She adores him. She wishes to be his girlfriend.
But the thought of going out with him whole day with her having to wipe her sweat all the time makes her doubtful and apprehensive of this day.
Just forget about making friend with him.
Students are lining up at the cafeteria to get their food. She is at the Western food section.
"One chicken chop please," said a gentle low man voice.
She turns to her side and her heart starts to race fast like chicken trying to run away from eagle's grip. Her sweat glands become alive and operate to their maximum ability.
Needless to say, her whole face is drenched with sweat. She nervously takes out a piece of tissue paper to wipe off the sweat on her whole face.
He giggles. Then more giggles.
She gathers her gut to turn around to find out what makes him giggle. And even more giggles.
"Hey, I am sorry but there are many bits of tissue paper here and there on your face, lady..." he giggles and he talks as he points at her face.
Oh my, she does not know what to do except to giggle along. AND still let the pieces of paper stuck all over her face.
"I saw you around the other day here too. You love Western food?" he asked.
"Yyy...yes..., I do," she replies sheepishly, "as long as they don't make me sweat," she added.
The rest is history. You want to guess what happen to them?
