1986, Senior Year…
“Ooohhh, I can’t wait for senior tahun to start!” Monica exaltedly berkata to her friend, Rachel. “Rach, I can feel this would be the year…the tahun Chandler would finally notice that I’m alive.”
“Well Monica, it should be, because this is the last chance you’ve got with him…we’re off to college seterusnya fall.”
“I KNOW!!” Monica exclaimed.
Three whole years, Monica thought, three whole years wasted. “If only I was courageous enough to tell him how I feel three years ago, I would probably have him…or at least I wouldn’t waste three years on this stupid crush...”
She can still remember vividly, the first hari of freshman year. The first hari she saw Chandler.
Three years ago…
“Rachel, I hate myself.”
“Monica, would anda please stop pitying yourself…you look normal, like anda always do everyday.”
“That’s the problem. We’re already in high school, not in middle school. I want to pop, anda know, stand out. I don’t wanna be plain Monica anymore.”
“Monica don’t anda worry. With a little help, from me, your ever loyal best friend, I’m going to make anda the most popular girl in high school!”
“That’s easy for anda to say”, Monica whispered to herself. But as she observed Rachel primping infront of the mirror, she thought that her friend may have made a real point. Rachel was always the most popular girl in junior high, so she must know what she’s talking about.
Finally she made up her mind. “Hey Rach, come to think about it, I just might take anda up on your offer.”
“Oh how wonderful!!! Finally, you’re my project this year! I’m telling anda Monica, before the end of freshman year, you're gonna be one of the most popular kids in school, not to mention a really really cute boyfriend!”
Two weeks later, on the first hari of high school, Rachel came to pick up Monica on the way to school. She rang the doorbell to the Geller’s home, and Ross got the door.
“Good morning Ross! Is Monica ready?”
Ross just stared at the vision in front of him.
“Uh, Ross, hello? I’m asking if Monica’s ready.” She waved her hand in front of his face.
“Oh, hi Rachel,” squeaked Ross. “Just go upstairs and get her. Mom has been calling her for an jam for breakfast, and she hasn’t been down.”
“It’s probably just the jitters. I’ve had a few myself this morning, but what the heck, I’m in high school!! I’m gonna rule the school!! Well, I'm going to get her now Ross, atau we’ll going to be running late, and I don’t need detention today!”
“Okay. I'm just on my way out to school myself. sejak the way, Mom made lempeng, penkek for breakfast. Just help yourself if anda want some, ‘kay?
“No prob!”
Ross sighed as his eyes followed Rachel running upstairs. “What a great start to my sophomore year, looking dumb in front of Rachel!” Ross then grabbed his bag from the sofa, kerusi panjang and went out the door.
Rachel got upstairs and knocked on Monica’s door. “Mon, its me. Ross sent me up, and for a good reason too…we’re gonna be running late if anda don’t hurry up girl.”
“Um, uh, I don’t think I can go to school today Rach. I think I’m coming down with something”, Monica then fake coughs.
“Monica, don’t anda give me that excuse. That’s the worst fake cough I’ve ever heard! Remember, you’re talking to the master here! Nothing as stupid as that can get past me!! I’m coming in!” Rachel yelled.
“Oh yeah right…NOOOO RACHEL! I CAN’T LET anda SEE ME LIKE THIS!!”
The door creaked as Rachel opened the door and suddenly…
“NOOOOO!!!!!!!!! MONICA WHAT HAPPENED??!!”
Rachel stared at the girl in front of her. Red spots were all over her face and neck, and her hair was fringed and frizzy.
“Monica…what happened to your face? Not to mention your hair!”
“I know! Rachel, help me.” Monica squeaked. “I…I don’t know what to do.”
“First, tell me what happened.”
“Well, I decided to go with the look we talked about yesterday, “ Monica started, “you know, crimped hair and makeup. But I can’t just borrow my mom’s iron and makeup, since she would ground me for life if I did, so I did a last-minute shopping to the store and bought the cheapest curling iron and makeup I could find. I didn’t know I was allergic to cheap makeup!” she cried.
“And the hair?” Rachel inquisitively said.
“Well, I left the iron a few saat longer than it should be.”
“How long?”
“Three minutes”
“Oh my god! No wonder your hair looked like a grassfire after it was extinguished! Don’t anda worry, I’ll think of something. Do anda have a bonnet, atau a hat of some kind? atau even a scarf, it’s lebih fashionable. And a hair serum atau tonic.”
“I have a topi, cap here. And i think mom has some hair serum. I'll just run into their room and get some.”
“It’ll work! And as for your face, hmm…” Rachel thought, and rummaged into her purse. “I have a cover-up here. Don’t anda worry, this is the hypoallergenic type,” Rachel assured Monica when she saw her panicked expression. “I’ll just use this to lighten up the pock marks a bit, ‘kay?”
“Okay”, Monica quiveringly answered. After a few minutes…
“You can look in the mirror, Mon.”
As Monica hesitantly looked at herself in a mirror, she gasped. “You’re a magician, Rach!” She observed herself in the mirror. Almost all the spots are invisible, and as for her hair, Rach braided her hair loosely and inserted it through the cap’s back hole. She almost looked normal again. Rachel really outdid herself, she thought.
“Thanks, thanks… sometimes I can’t believe I even surprise myself. And now that you’re done, we really should get to school!! We only have 5 minit before the bus arrives, and we have to run if we want to make it on time!!”
“Okay, just let me grab my things and let’s go!!”
****
“Monica, hurry!” Rachel shouted to Monica as they ran the steps towards the front door of the school. “we only have a few minit before homeroom starts, and we have to find where it is!”
“I’m running, I’m running…ooops!” Monica fumbled, dropped her bag and spilled her things all over the front steps of the school.”
“What now??” Rachel frustratingly said.
“I just dropped my things, anda go on, I’ll just pick this up…”
“Are anda sure?”
“Yes, yes I’m sure, I don’t want to make anda late.”
“Okay, if you’re sure…see anda later Mon, I really can’t have detention today, my mom would kill me if I bring utama another detention slip!” Rachel ran towards the front door.
As Monica picked up her books, another hand picked up her notebook. She looked up to see whose hand it is, and she gasped.
“Need help?”
Standing in front of Monica is the cutest guy she’s ever seen in her entire life. He’s even cuter than Tom Cruise, she thought.
“I said, do anda need help?” The guy smiled at her.
“Oh, yeah, sorry…I just dropped my buku running on the way to school…maybe anda should too, don’t mind me. I don’t want to make anda late too. It’s enough to make myself get in trouble, but to bring somebody down with me would be a torture to my conscience!” I sound like a babbling idiot, she realized.
“Hey, don’t worry, I’m just being a good Samaritan here” the guy said, while picking up her book. “I saw someone who need help, and who better to help her but me, right? Besides, there’s no one here to help you. sejak the way, I’m Chandler. Are anda starting freshman tahun too?”
“Yes I am. I’m Monica.” She smiled at him as she stood up and looked around. “Well, we got everything.”
“That’s nice to know...At least I made a friend today.” Chandler grinned. “Hey, I guess we better go in now, atau the principal would probably kick our butts towards detention if she sees us.”
“You’re right. See anda later Chandler, bye!” Monica berkata as they went their separate ways.
“Bye Monica, see anda around too!”
As Monica ran towards the school, she couldn’t stop grinning. I can’t believe my luck, she contemplated, maybe things would really get a whole lot better for me in high school. I can’t wait to tell Rach!! Monica then checked her bag and realized that the cute guy forgot to hand over to her her notebook! Ey, it doesn’t matter, she assured herself, nothing’s written in there anyway…
Back to 1986…
Yeah right, Monica thought. Since their unforgettable rendezvous in the front steps, she never got to “see him later.” The seterusnya time she saw Chandler, he was surrounded sejak cheerleaders, and she never got the guts to come up to him and announce herself. As for Rachel’s makeover plan, she blew that off as well. Seeing Chandler flirting with other girls just got her hati, tengah-tengah out of the project. Ever since their memorable moment, everything about her seemed to revolve around Chandler. Chandler this, and Chandler that.
“Honestly Mon, I don’t even know why anda keep pining for the guy.” Rachel stated. “He doesn’t even notice you, let alone kept his promise to ‘see anda around’. I’m telling you, just alih on honey, and find yourself a new man! There’s a lot of ikan in the sea, Mon. Just throw in the line, they’ll bite on your worm then reel them in! Maybe Chandler’s just not a worm man, atau a worm fish, if anda know what I mean!”
“Try telling my hati, tengah-tengah that. I did but, it doesn’t seem to listen. It just keeps beating, beating for Chandler! Aw, I hate myself for saying that, I sound so mushy!” Monica quipped, hitting herself on the head.
“You know what they say about people who are in love, they’re so mushy they don’t even know it!!” Rachel suddenly diverted her eyes behind Monica, and tugged on Mon’s sweater. “Uh Mon, anjing, anak anjing Cinta alert! Now’s your chance to snag him, he’s alone!!”
“Are anda crazy, I can’t do it now! We have to have a well-laid plan before I put it in action.”
“At least say hi!” Rachel quipped, “Here’s your chance -- hi Chandler!” Rachel berkata as Chandler passed by.
“Hi Rachel, hi Monica!” Chandler greeted them with a matching smile. “How’s your summer?”
I can't believe he knows my name, Monica bewildered with shock, stared at the floor. All words flew out of her brain.
“Oh really great, right Mon?” Monica just nodded, and kept staring at the floor.
“Uh, okay. Well see anda around Rachel. anda too Monica.” Chandler berkata and gave them another dazzling smile.
“Same to anda Chandler, bye!” Rachel said, then turned to Monica. “Why did anda just stand there like a statue? anda didn’t even say anything, much less a hi!!” Rachel frustratingly told Monica.
"Do anda think I like looking stupid in front of him? Its not because I don’t want to, but I can’t, I really can’t!” Monica was yelling in hysteria.
“Okay, okay calm down Mon. I’m sorry. Its just that I gave anda your chance, and anda blew that off again. At least, he knows your name, if that could be considered a 'headway'. Fine, let’s do it ‘your way. Tonight, I’ll come sejak your house and we’ll start the planning process, okay?”
“Okay, “ Monica answered. “But I think it’s better if I come to your house instead. Ross’ geek Friends are coming over earlier, and they might get a little rambunctious discussing evolution atau something like that, whatever, and I don’t want to spend my makeover session hearing about Darwin atau Lucy atau whatever. I’ll come around 8:30, is that okay?”
“Perfect actually. Chip invited me to an early makan malam, majlis makan malam at their house so I’ll just be getting utama around that time too.” Rachel affirmed.
“Okay see anda then!” Monica waved to Rachel as she entered her classroom.
******
Three years, Chandler thought as he walked to his seterusnya class. Three years that he has been haunted sejak the girl he met freshmen year. The first girl he met in high school actually, and the first girl he ever fell in Cinta with.
“Why can’t I ask her out? Could I be any lebih lamer?” Chandler contemplated aloud.
“Yeah man, why can’t anda ask her out?” His best friend Joey appeared behind him and patted him on his back. “I saw anda earlier, anda finally got the guts to sorta talk to her, why didn’t anda take the plunge and asked her out?”
“Man, Monica’s not an ordinary girl. I know she’s not the type of girl who would go out with the seterusnya guy who asks her out in a crowded school hallway. She’s worth lebih than that. If I would ask her out, it’d have to be in a special way.” Chandler stated.
“Man, I’m telling you, that girl gets hotter every year. If anda don’t ask her out right away, somebody will, and anda would spend the rest of your life pining for your unrequited love…” Joey said, chuckling. Seeing that a cute girl was about to pass, Joey yelled to her, “How anda doin?”,and the girl giggled.
Chandler hardly noticed what happened. “You’re right man. I gotta take the plunge sometime soon. All I know is I’ve waited long enough, and I don’t think I could let my chance for true happiness pass me sejak any longer.”
“Yeah buddy, that’s the spirit!” Joey cheered. “Honestly man, I can’t believe you. I mean you’ve dated about three-fourths of the cheerleading squad already without shuddering, not to mention half the population of the girls here in school has a crush on you, a feat that brought anda up to your James Bond status with the guys in this school. But with this girl, a simple, not-so-popular girl, anda have a hard time asking out? I can’t figure that out man!”
“Me too man,“ Chandler wondered, “me too.
