A Teenage Girl’s Love Story
Valen Patricia Li, Group 2: Fiction, HKTA Shun Yeung Primary School
y name is Josephine Christy and I’m sixteen years old. At school, all of the students know who I
am but they are not my friends. I don’t talk at school. It is because I don’t have any friends to talk
with. They say that my behavior is cool. I don’t talk! It doesn’t mean I’m cool, right?

Second term is finally over, I’m going to be a secondary six student and that means I’m
g to be seventeen years old also. This is the last year I will study at this school. I can’t wait to
uate. This February is also my birthday, it is on Valentine’s Day.
Today is my birthday, 14
th
of February. My classmates don’t know today is my birthday but…..why is
there a gift on my desk? There is also a card! It says “Happy Birthday Josephine, wish you all the best!!!” This
was written by ….. someone, but I don’t know who gave me this gift and the card.

After recess, there was another gift on my desk. This time the gift is much bigger than the first gift. This
one says, “Happy Valentine’s Day Josephine!!!”. This one doesn’t have a name on it either, but I think these
two gifts were sent from the same person. The birthday gift was a painting of me….so beautiful! The
Valentine’s gift was an art work. The title was “Love”. I was so surprised after opening the two gifts.
At night, I opened my Whatsapp and someone said, “Hi” to me. That person was my classmate Johnson.
I didn’t reply to him but he said, “did you like it?” I didn’t know what he was talking about so I ignored him
and went to bed and went to sleep.
The next day, Johnson came to my seat and said, “Yesterday, I asked if you liked it. I was referring to the
gifts, stupid”. Then he smiles at me, suddenly my face turned red and my heart beat so fast because this is the
first time someone called me stupid.
My love story is going to start….I think.
Every morning at school, he smiles at me. After school, he says, “Please call me tonight before you go to
bed.” He always asks me where I will go today and what clothes I am wearing today. I don’t know why he is
asking this but I answer him anyway. Everyday I see him and my unhappy thoughts disappear. Every night in
my dreams, I see him. I hear him. I feel him…..so strange.
He always wants to date me but I don’t have any time to go with him because this year I have a lot of
projects and reports to do. I’m so busy!!
Today, he calls me and says he wants to take me to the Great Wall of China. Should I go with him?
Maybe I should put down my projects for a second and spend some time with him. We take a bus to Beijing
and join a tour to the Great Wall. We have so much fun when we are on the bus. We take so many photos.
When we are at the top of the Great Wall, Johnson suddenly asks me, “do you have any wishes?” I reply,
“
I only have one wish, I just want to be with you forever.” Then he says, “You know what? I don’t like you! I
am just pretending that I like you. I just want my ex-girlfriend to be jealous. Be with me forever, NO WAY!”
After we broke up, every night, when I close my eyes, I see him again. I can’t stop thinking of him. I
can’t forget him.
Whenever I think ok Johnson, I think about the Great Wall and have terrible memories. I don’t want to
go to the Great Wall ever again. After this messy relationship, I don’t ever want to fall in love again. There
will be a great wall on my heart.
