traces of the past..

She's running...
where am i? what am i running away from?

She remembered telling her once about a story. There was once 5 lovely caterpillars living in the beautiful world of insectopia. They used to do almost everything together. Sing and dance play musical instrument all night long. One day an earthworm came to visit them. She was alone in the garden of insectopia with no friends. At first most of the caterpillars were disgusted with her.

"You're such an actor," said purple caterpillar.
"Stop acting cute with me," said blue caterpillar
"I wouldn't mind being friends with you if you help me collect leaves for my every meal. You can work from 9-5 if you want. I can managed the supper on my own, but no OT given" said green caterpillar.
"Back off, Go to hell," said red caterpillar " you're such a jinx."

She's the only caterpillar that didn't say anything, but was willing to listen. She's always influencing everyone around her to be happy. Earthworm was very amazed with her ability to make everyone happy. Not like hersellf.

Earthworm likes yellow caterpillar alot. Slowly she became to open up as she mixed around with her. Earthworm even joined her music lesson to play the muscial instrument she usually play. The drums. She was very happy whenever yellow caterpillar is around.

However, one day Earthworm heard the rest of the caterpillars saying about yellow caterpillar and big beetle.
"....you mean they're actually together??" "how come?" "yellow is soo no taste.. i couldn't imagine it' beetle and a caterpillar? how to reproduce???.. i think..."

how can this be? Earthworm confronted beetle and yellow with a confusing mind. but they merely smiled. is that all that you could give me? a smile? When you know that's the answer i dreaded to get? the answer is obvious. The hardest thing to do is to differentiate whether it's sisterhood? or love? but whenever she thought of yellow, her heart sank. She's never felt this way before. what should she do? Days snailed by. The rumours were more and more detailed. It's harder to face yellow on every music lesson that they went. Yellow was aware of Earthworm's awkwarderness but everytime she closes in Earthworm back away giving excuses like "i've got a flu" "I've got bad breath dun talk to me" " now, you've got it, eewww"

Earthworm was devasted. But what can she say? Things aint gonna be the same anymore. She know she fell harder and harder for caterpillar..
