Troublesome

"It's great that we don't have to write out the angle properties of circles."
"Yeah, writing it out is really troublesome."

We were on the crowded bus when a lady tried to squeeze her way through towards the back. Her last obstacle was Wei Heng, and it so happened that we were in the middle of a conversation.

We would have continued, if not for the abrupt interruption. No one expected it.

"Troublesome huh? I only want to get to the back of the bus. You young people are so... Ugh. What school are you from?"
"Err."
"Hwa Chong, is it? Wah, like that cannot lah. You guys are the future leaders leh, how can you be so inconsiderate?"

Chee Peng looked at Wei Heng and he looked at me. It's troublesome. Sometimes, the message just doesn't get to the right person. I don't blame her, but she seemed like she was staring daggers. I guess it's better to get things right before jumping to conclusions.

To save embarrassment, both parties kept silent.
Then she moved to the back of the bus.
