唐樓某劏房,面積約一百平方呎,住有十七歲的楠少和十六歲的妹妹家磊。507Please respect copyright.PENANAWh2JwyYUQu
507Please respect copyright.PENANAPVkViBKX8x
書枱在窗下、床側,主要供家磊使用,楠少不敢亂碰。清潔衣物和書簿混在一起,堆疊在床上、靠牆的那邊。洗完未乾的內衣褲會架在碌架床邊自然晾乾。骯髒的校服和上街用便服會放在大膠桶內,周末時拿到附近的自助洗衣店清潔。單位不設廚房,只有一個小雪櫃和一個半腰矮櫃,櫃面置有一個電熱水壺、一台微波爐和一個電飯煲。白飯自己煲,飯餸來自楠少兼職的茶餐廳……507Please respect copyright.PENANAo1F0LYcN4D
507Please respect copyright.PENANASjHlCmVfZI
「要喝水?」楠少彎身在矮櫃裡猛找,想要找出阿藍之前留下的水杯。除了水,他實在想不到有甚麼像樣的東西可以用來招呼訪客。507Please respect copyright.PENANA3zKQyCZjNa
507Please respect copyright.PENANAWZTg6NPuni
「不用客氣呢!當作自己的家就可以!」阿藍反客為主,大剌剌地爬上碌架床上層。她知道楠少疼愛家磊,不會為了一時便利而打亂她的下層床鋪。「過來坐!乖!」507Please respect copyright.PENANAfdv6DagXNi
507Please respect copyright.PENANAYc4RDzgHSS
「別鬧了!快點下來!」對著這個十七歲的頑皮大孩子,楠少笑了。只有跟阿藍在一起,他才感到快樂。507Please respect copyright.PENANAJPrhJlWOBK
507Please respect copyright.PENANAd7Moo8kb0h
「你上來捉我!」阿藍賴著不走。507Please respect copyright.PENANAPPq1vZmo2r
507Please respect copyright.PENANAwJYjrcIwPm
「別後悔!」楠少的頑皮本色被阿藍徹底挑起。純熟地爬上床,抽起被子,蓋在她身上。「將你紮成粽,焗到你滿身紅疹,又癢又難看!」507Please respect copyright.PENANAPkoQjZSXgJ
507Please respect copyright.PENANAP1W0lzs0xO
「哇!你很殘忍呀!」阿藍假意掙扎,又叫又笑。507Please respect copyright.PENANAAhmD4wkWPj
507Please respect copyright.PENANAvtlqhbmjh7
推推拉拉,二人玩得不亦樂乎。玩著,擁著,輕吻著,熱吻著,渾身滾燙、酥麻。突然,念頭一轉,楠少馬上鬆開手,衝落床,跑入浴室。寒水撥臉,冷靜下來。507Please respect copyright.PENANAia4UobA1TU

差點兒把持不住。507Please respect copyright.PENANAu5U988SqPA

仔細端詳鏡中人。身高一米七,烏亮蓋耳旱髮,微啡皮膚,雙眼皮,筆直鼻子,乾癟嘴唇。脫光上衣,背脊現出一條疤痕。507Please respect copyright.PENANAMRtGOJMkfK

三年前的楠少,正值衝動任性的十四歲。他懷疑自家菜檔對面的凍肉檔行賄,食環署職員因而對凍肉檔違法棄置垃圾的行為視而不見,甚至將一切麻煩算在父母的菜檔頭上。可恨父母只懂啞忍,像奴性深重的賤人。507Please respect copyright.PENANATnZnAlHazI
507Please respect copyright.PENANAFiAhlv3xdk
楠少的憤怨日益深厚,腦海裡頭的復仇計劃日趨成熟。507Please respect copyright.PENANAGxUqMxg9RY
507Please respect copyright.PENANAbJzaU2ya2T
某夜,他潛入凍肉檔破壞閉路電視和電箱,向貨物潑灑漒水。以為神不知鬼不覺,誰料離開的時候被數個同在露天街市工作的街坊遞個正著。原來位於凍肉檔的電箱是幾間店舖共用的。電箱被破壞,相關店舖馬上斷電。加班工作的職員發現異樣,馬上聯絡凍肉檔檔主,一同前來察看……507Please respect copyright.PENANARDBf5ypyJ8
507Please respect copyright.PENANAubaS3nOWeX
數名大漢怒不可遏,不由分說將楠少痛打一頓,直至楠少的老爸到來斡旋。這時,楠少才得知父母早已收下凍肉檔和附近幾個檔口的「清潔費」,為大家一併處理垃圾。507Please respect copyright.PENANAp3oGD9fWYu
507Please respect copyright.PENANA3A7Qkbm3cs
「一場誤會……」老爸對著幾名大漢堆起生硬笑容,害怕得渾身震顫。507Please respect copyright.PENANAq8im99KkGf
507Please respect copyright.PENANADnfp56fBFC
「誤會?一句誤會可以彌補我們的損失嗎?我們不能營業,少賺很多!買貨不用錢嗎?得失了客人不用賠償嗎?」眾苦主推舉凍肉檔老闆為代表,向楠少老爸追討賠償。凍肉檔老闆乘勝追擊,誇大貨物的價值和重要程度,務求爭取一個好價錢。「我答應了明天要交和牛給餐廳!生果佬的頂級水蜜桃熱壞了!海鮮檔今早才來了一批貴價海鮮……」507Please respect copyright.PENANAbcJQIYl1d1
507Please respect copyright.PENANA2f6OFg3fsF
「別動怒……我會賠錢,但你們萬萬不能報警。」老爸鼓起勇氣,半哄半嚇地威逼大漢們放過楠少:「你們對一個十四歲男孩動私刑,肯定會有法律後果。只要你們答應不報警,那就雙方都不用吃虧:你們不用面對動私刑的法律後果,我兒子亦不需留案底。」507Please respect copyright.PENANA2mX1ivR8Td
507Please respect copyright.PENANAj6orrJ7OnM
卷伏一旁的楠少淚眼通紅,悔恨自己的衝動連累家人。507Please respect copyright.PENANAJn5rOYBO38
507Please respect copyright.PENANAb7U3G6fUax
「還好嗎?」阿藍輕輕敲門,關心問道。507Please respect copyright.PENANAmBn4lsAFiH
507Please respect copyright.PENANAxpqTiwNKbN
「沒事。」楠少回過神,隨意吐出藉口:「少許不適而已。」507Please respect copyright.PENANAjdUdox1Pzf
507Please respect copyright.PENANAN6DLS4LiZ8
「小心身體。」阿藍抑壓不安:「你好好休息,我先走。」507Please respect copyright.PENANAKkgplPpjei
507Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ4c6duYcQ
「對不起……」楠少合上眼,不欲見到鏡中賤人的臉。507Please respect copyright.PENANAvpXXnC9SWH
507Please respect copyright.PENANAyxaB8rHiL8
「無需道歉。」阿藍整理襤褸的校裙,梳理馬尾,挽起書包,離開單位。507Please respect copyright.PENANAeN06j7Wlqs
507Please respect copyright.PENANA4qpVt4NP0z
漫步人來人往的大街上,阿藍只感空虛。天大地大,她竟想不到自己能待在哪裡。507Please respect copyright.PENANAkxNYea2V3o
507Please respect copyright.PENANA4cTx3LC7v3
率先被否定的答案是「家」。她不願回自己的家,亦沒能長期逗留在楠少的家。學校裡總有一群話不投機的吵耳傢伙,顯然不是個好選擇。公園?球場?商場?快餐店?圖書館?507Please respect copyright.PENANAhDJJZSgyjx
507Please respect copyright.PENANA40JXKOrDor
圖書館?自修室?507Please respect copyright.PENANA66PHoxccgd
507Please respect copyright.PENANAjKEahdryBF
心血來潮,阿藍倏忽停下腳步,發現自己剛巧在巿政大樓前。就到圖書館裡頭的自修室坐坐吧。507Please respect copyright.PENANAwBGvvy9jNF
507Please respect copyright.PENANAJzY7bal5zr
也還真多人……507Please respect copyright.PENANAsiRqqFRho6

臨近年中期考,學生難免壓力倍增,自動自覺為成績加把勁。看見低頭專心讀書的靜默人群,阿藍想起班裡的亂況。竊笑的同時,驀地憶起祈祈今早提出的問題:「你有否想過明年畢業後的事情?」507Please respect copyright.PENANAvsjaueKCpe
507Please respect copyright.PENANAWp7l7AoH8p
阿藍找到一個向隅的座位。戴耳筒,播音樂,攤開課本,拿出筆袋。一切準備就緒,卻不知從何入手。將書本掀來翻去,偏偏定不下心神,祈祈的提問在腦海裡千迴百轉。507Please respect copyright.PENANA7f6PiNttzz
507Please respect copyright.PENANAzmmB1v6seD
會花大量時間在學業上的,全是對未來抱有希望的人。他們將亮眼的成績表當作職場入場券。成績越好,就會得到更多更好的機會;前途越好,就會活得更好。這個理論容易理解,合乎邏輯。優秀的人獲得更好的待遇,很合理,不是嗎?507Please respect copyright.PENANAB9efdUev8k
507Please respect copyright.PENANArfhyvgHUS3
阿藍蔑笑。507Please respect copyright.PENANATuS1BsUKqk

誰是優秀的人?怎樣判斷誰是優秀的人?誰有資格訂定判斷準則?如何定下準則?507Please respect copyright.PENANApWrOxzaiLe

甚麼是更「好」的待遇?如何界定「好」?對你「好」是否等於對我「好」?507Please respect copyright.PENANABEni7YQH0u

阿藍的思緒遠遠飄離。合上課本,聽音樂,罷。507Please respect copyright.PENANAMgLTDuLk74

休館時間,她不得不離開。是時候回家?她有點猶豫。507Please respect copyright.PENANA9pis3HIuzg

手提電話猛顫。是阿藍媽。507Please respect copyright.PENANAaxidc6WYW8

「你在哪?飯餸快要冰掉!」很吵耳,很討厭,很累人。507Please respect copyright.PENANAIgULGV6kcF
507Please respect copyright.PENANAH6IB40UHXi
「圖書館。」阿藍抬頭望望殘舊的巿政大樓,沒心情挑起火頭。507Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8kZS4VW9H
507Please respect copyright.PENANAPEeHvu9bd5
「哦。」電話另一端的聲音瞬間凝住。阿藍媽沒料到阿藍交出如斯答案,一時間不知所措。「那麼……快點回來。」507Please respect copyright.PENANAyMYk8guyhm

突如其來的靜默,難以言喻的寂寞。
