CLARISSE
It is the first day of school at Victoria Junior College ("VJC"). Charles, 16 going 17, is excited. Having been in an all boys school for the last 10 years of primary and secondary education, this is a first chance to get acquainted with more girls and practise the lore from romance dramas and movies. He contemplates, relishing the commencement of a new journey in his life.
He has chosen VJC given his commendable 10 A1s in prelims and similarly in GCE "O" Levels. His other friends have decided on other Junior Colleges, as they feel that VJC, being a new outfit (then) in the eastern side of Singapore, isn't ideal for their academic aspirations. Being all alone on the first day of junior college life, he walks bravely into the gates of VJC.
As he straddles past a group of girls who are still in their secondary school uniforms, the familiar face of a girl catches his eye. Her name, Clarisse. A sweet, tall and toned bodied girl from Methodist Girls School ("MGS"). Due to her long and slender legs, coupled with MGS dark blue flared skirt, which has been deliberately shortened, Clarisse stands out amongst the rest. Charles' attention, being instantaneously ensnared, preferentially selected her from the rest.
Charles and Clarrise have known each other since childhood, though not at that communicating BFF level. They have gone to the same church kindergarten and have trained under the same swim coach in competitive swimming at Chinese Swimming Club, during their primary and secondary school days.
Both their parents are also successful joint venture partners of a profitable business in South East Asia. The relationship between the two families are excellent to the extent that their respective parents have discussed openly, that Charles and Clarisse should be an item for the continuation of their business legacy.
Despite this, Charles, being a little shy, has never made known his intention to his parents that he has a secret liking for Clarisse all these years. From the day of his "sexual awakening" in Secondary Three, he has secretly admired Clarisse's growing upper body behind her Arena swimwear, and has "wondered" and "wandered" his hands, helping himself with delight, at the thought of Clarisse in his arms, while shedding his youthful seminal fluids.
A couple of weeks into VJC life, Charles finally plucks his courage, and asks Clarisse on a date. Jack's Place, Parkway Parade is where they will start for a late lunch, followed by a Viking ride at the amusement park near Big Spash.
At home, while dressing up for his first date of his life, Charles wonders if he will finally get to hold Clarisse's hands, locking Clarisse's mouth with his lips and holding her body in tight embrace. He ponders.
At the Viking that late afternoon, Charles coerces Clarisse to go for the last row of the huge ship. Charles has planned for this. Once the Viking is in full swing, with both their heart pounding, he will hold on to Clarisse's hands naturally, without either feeling awkward. He succeeds and gleefully praises himself in his covetous thoughts.
That night, at the breakwater near East Coast Park McDonald's, he kisses Clarisse on her lips while the waves crashes in, celebrating his feat. He experiences for the first time, her assisted motional hand on stick grab, while kneading and tasting Clarisse's headlights, easily accessible from her navy blue tube blouse. Clarisse, too, has her first digital ecstatic convulsion.
Charles and Clarisse has finally gone "steady".
