CHAPTER 7:
Zana kept drawing portraits of Shaun the way he used to smile, to remember that smile of his, which she can never see nowadays. Yet no matter how many times Zana drew, she could never get it right. She just wanted to be a good friend to him and watch over him to make him tickled pink again. Just interacting with him made her satisfied, but these splendid times may never happen again. If only she could own a time machine which could be rewinded back to the past.

The next day after the gathering, Zana was free so she went online on MSN. She saw that Shaun was online too. Her mouse circled around his name on the screen and she thought of the delightful times when she and Shaun were prattling happily by just chatting about stuff that didn't really matter. Those were the times she wish she could go back to, when Shaun was ecstatic and so was she. Now just thinking about it, made her heart sink, the memories were so beautiful yet thinking about it made her heart ached even more. The more pictures she drew of him the more she knew she was positively in love with him. How did she even start to have this feeling? She did not even know, but she wanted to keep this feeling to herself. She was so scared of rejection and the thought of the awkwardness that would come between herself and Shaun. The thought of not being his friend anymore made her feel so afraid of confession.

Jerald wanted to help Zana, but how could he help her? Seeing her so helpless and despondent made him feel so dysfunctional. Even if he could not have her, he would at least try to make her smile. That smile of her's would make his heart melt like an ice-cream under the sizzling hot sun. That sweetness of her would make him want to look after her and make her feel secured and protected. What could he do? Suddenly, he thought of an idea to bring Shaun and Zana together to make that million dollar smile of her's return.

Edna was scheming of a plan to make Shaun her's, but it would not be easy. Shaun is such a loyal boyfriend she thought. If he was mine, how nice would that be.
