今晚是一個濕冷之夜,地上留下一堆堆剛下雨而成的小水灘,我來到了在清水灣區裡的一間學校,進入禮堂。332Please respect copyright.PENANAAkyoLp3pkB
332Please respect copyright.PENANAH5nwUKXJIK
「I have died every day waiting for you.」332Please respect copyright.PENANAm122PXzidZ
「Darling, don't be afraid. 」332Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Kw0DwUn7
「I have loved you for a thousand years.」332Please respect copyright.PENANAhkM8bJRhZ3
「I'll love you a thousand more.」332Please respect copyright.PENANAArGnJQL2WU
332Please respect copyright.PENANA6l12XCKMwh
晚些七時,禮堂內而有不少盛裝打扮的男女,場內燈光昏間,完美地襯上了這首抒情的英文歌。332Please respect copyright.PENANAxxdXHF32LH
332Please respect copyright.PENANAzSk6k0QuTc
「好喇,各位靚仔靚女,而家你可以根據返你頭先入場時抽嘅number,去搵你嘅partner喇。」332Please respect copyright.PENANA22kCTap1J7
332Please respect copyright.PENANAUgmhiSMwRJ
幾乎任何像這類的晚會,都必有個核心環節,就是配對。每個人進場前都要先抽一個號碼,然後進場後跟抽到相同號碼的異性配對。舉例說,我抽到90號,那麼我現在就要去找那個同樣抽到90號的女生配對。332Please respect copyright.PENANANHopNbnpjG
332Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Hb6Mj4vn
「你邊間school㗎?」找到她後,我就向她打個招呼。332Please respect copyright.PENANAuC6OZEBygN
332Please respect copyright.PENANAQWh8HXQlc2
「我⋯⋯Busi,你?」那個女生有170cm高,樣子普通,身穿一套白色露肩的晚服。332Please respect copyright.PENANAAVqOdg3CGJ
332Please respect copyright.PENANA1NJuBXjbsV
我:Engine332Please respect copyright.PENANApHLGiWqDWt
332Please respect copyright.PENANA7r1rwZpVkt
她:你有玩過之前Ocamp?332Please respect copyright.PENANAPdbK9IVshn
332Please respect copyright.PENANACxXPhWApYL
我:邊個ocamp?332Please respect copyright.PENANAewjolIdNUa
332Please respect copyright.PENANAl93FsFsZPw
她:Hall 3332Please respect copyright.PENANAXSHqDu78tE
332Please respect copyright.PENANA1uHxAwQp3j
我:我玩開hall 4嗰個。332Please respect copyright.PENANAgpWtVxMWR7
332Please respect copyright.PENANAQWbQe1vrIh
她:哦,我係玩hall 3嗰個然後就嚟咗今個呢個,都係佢哋班人攪。332Please respect copyright.PENANA9lxXWWcdLK
332Please respect copyright.PENANARbsZ1diSob
我很清楚自己的性格,其實我很快就會讓整個對話氣氛變成一片dead air。332Please respect copyright.PENANAbgnUgQsHi4
332Please respect copyright.PENANAYgaERusy2y
只要她也一樣想不出話題,就真的dead air了。332Please respect copyright.PENANA7IQVE6QLB0
332Please respect copyright.PENANABAMBqJO5M3
結果如我所料,她直接「結束配對」,去找回她的朋友聊天了。332Please respect copyright.PENANAQfTII1pLNM
332Please respect copyright.PENANA7z8ja3oUPv
「好啦,頭先教完舞點跳相信大家都識㗎啦,而家你可以同你partner一齊跳。」332Please respect copyright.PENANA5okIHCGC3d
「當然我哋都好自由,你可以去搵其他異性嘅。」台上的MC說。332Please respect copyright.PENANAuu272QdYfL
332Please respect copyright.PENANApnqzMmUWKY
我只好自由行,四處看看有沒有其他相熟的同學也在場。332Please respect copyright.PENANALUbLT2NfS0
332Please respect copyright.PENANAxJfrPSRJ6Y
只能說平常心看待就好,雖然學生會把這個活動的潛規則上標上「情人配對」的名義,但是我相信很多都只是因為放假期間沒事幹,才到這裡解心靈上的悶意。332Please respect copyright.PENANAPwYjh8slhm
332Please respect copyright.PENANAiJRzgED57l
很快,又讓我意外看到在不足3米的範圍手,有一對身穿全黑晚服的女性朋友主動向我招手。332Please respect copyright.PENANAgw25GyFJq9
332Please respect copyright.PENANAyoL3gRiBq5
「點解你今日喺度嘅?你唔去hall 4嗰個嘅?」Hilary微微一笑向我問道。332Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5bYEGlKFs
332Please respect copyright.PENANAsiiKeHRkiq
我:想識下唔同嘅人啫,咪專登過嚟呢度囉。332Please respect copyright.PENANAB3dhx66LvQ
332Please respect copyright.PENANAE8rEopOLTj
Joyce:啱,我哋都係想識多啲人先嚟。332Please respect copyright.PENANAtxE6C2Lnbb
(她展示出表示認同的手勢和表情。)332Please respect copyright.PENANA4PLIhOnw6U
332Please respect copyright.PENANAZZdJRYxPsD
Hilary和Joycea是一對閏密如姊妹的關係,她們老是一起牽手走著。如果大家有細心觀察身邊的女生都知道:女生之間的友誼,相比男生之間的友誼,更愛一同牽手。332Please respect copyright.PENANACVmYuhuyN7
332Please respect copyright.PENANA5UiST7yugc
我:頭先唔係有仔同你跳舞嘅?咁快就俾人unmatch咗喇?332Please respect copyright.PENANAWYmkOg49Rr
332Please respect copyright.PENANAz7H3xLhPXb
Hilary:係我unmatch佢就真!332Please respect copyright.PENANAY8FRC1tGPG
332Please respect copyright.PENANASM07gzLdKJ
Joyce:你快啲去搵靚女傾計啦,gogogo!332Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1tS5Z8r2j
332Please respect copyright.PENANAeRtBpOIkpv
Hilary:係,除咗我哋兩個之外。332Please respect copyright.PENANAkh7netvWhD
(嘴上帶點奸的微笑)332Please respect copyright.PENANAcajUOnOpui
332Please respect copyright.PENANA9yC9Km0Lqk
就這樣,她們便打發我離去。332Please respect copyright.PENANAYDpp8YOECB
332Please respect copyright.PENANAyCd5Oke8p5
你知我的⋯⋯不太懂得找話題去跟別人聊天。332Please respect copyright.PENANAGisdkl0t3n
332Please respect copyright.PENANArj6Wmpex0y
中途還是會遇到一些長相清秀的女生,有些女生嬌小玲瓏,笑的時候臉特別甜美;有些女生則長得較高,有點明顯身型。332Please respect copyright.PENANA0xo1qoc5ma
332Please respect copyright.PENANAty9xlOiXfY
正當不少男生都喜歡找前者類型搭訕之時,而我則較喜歡後者的類型。332Please respect copyright.PENANAMquIFp5N7U
332Please respect copyright.PENANAMmVyKZoqf6
如果你以為我是為了追求身材正所以選後者,那你就想得太膚淺了!我的主要考慮,是覺得這種女生通常性格較為大方,不小器,十分有價值去認識,至少憑我那丁點的「相貌學」是如此認為。332Please respect copyright.PENANA7RpccKs9rv
332Please respect copyright.PENANAOyOgFvTkn9
儘管我有嘗試去搭訕,但是我卻不懂得怎樣有效地搭訕,這情景猶如在街頭隨機向一個陌生女子「抄牌」一樣;於是這一晚,不是跟女生聊幾句就沒下文,就是獨自一人再禮堂內徘徊。332Please respect copyright.PENANABRlIVe53NH
332Please respect copyright.PENANACS5twYeYto
如是者,晚會就快要結束。332Please respect copyright.PENANARAWsIxhuYL
332Please respect copyright.PENANAm1pVvKrCBw
「好喇,各位俊男美女,今晚嘅ball night仲有半個鐘到就完喇,如果你而家仲未搵到partner嘅就快啲把握最後機會啦!」332Please respect copyright.PENANAMsKZsqwQDw
332Please respect copyright.PENANAsEiZjil2NL
雖然台上的MC這樣說得動人,但⋯⋯你說就易呀,這也得要看緣份呀!332Please respect copyright.PENANAc9o3Ybs4bP
332Please respect copyright.PENANAl6pItfOHn5
其實這種地方有點像參加speed dating,我對這些活動完全未接觸過,更遑論有點社交恐懼的我,要在這種場合跟女生搭訕了,真難!332Please respect copyright.PENANAPHWTxqh72o
332Please respect copyright.PENANAUDsmbN1n4f
這個晚會的最後,我還是一人獨來獨往我渡過。332Please respect copyright.PENANADTJwbHFXa8
332Please respect copyright.PENANAohKPowD7NB
大會有提供紅玫瑰花出售,眼見場上幾乎每個男生都買下一大束,然後積極地一束束送給不同的女生;而我卻仍不敢行動。332Please respect copyright.PENANAPGDKxPdFy0
332Please respect copyright.PENANAeTInTBq09n
唉,怎麼我會如此沒出息?332Please respect copyright.PENANAD9or1UpOyB
332Please respect copyright.PENANAgxXp3GAneL
「點呀,搵到女朋友未呀?」Hilary話中帶著挪揄的語氣向我道。332Please respect copyright.PENANA77RWIDtnR8
332Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ic6mjsONp
我:未呀!332Please respect copyright.PENANA1GujIwsVCI
332Please respect copyright.PENANA66wuVaVvpv
Joyce:垃圾組仔。332Please respect copyright.PENANAiZro4BlcSq
(Joyce也一同挪揄。)332Please respect copyright.PENANAn6UxETK7R5
332Please respect copyright.PENANAhkfcM4QCq5
我:我落去洗個手先,轉頭好快有㗎啦。332Please respect copyright.PENANArpGqPiY8ZJ
332Please respect copyright.PENANA5BKqG0nbnX
我只好逞強地回道,然後假裝沒事地走到洗手間裡。332Please respect copyright.PENANA7ugVuz1y4w
332Please respect copyright.PENANAs8dGfywNq6
「呼!加油吧Andy!你一定得嘅!」我對著鏡子鼓勵著鏡中的人,然後又回到禮堂裡。332Please respect copyright.PENANA9GcckR47M9
332Please respect copyright.PENANACIxtmeeBYl
回場不久,我又看見一個扎起兩束短辮子、整體打扮有點行走中性的路線、染上了奪目的橙髮、身穿旗袍的女生。在ball night都有人穿旗袍?是,偶爾有這種少數人也不足為奇。不過,她是行走暗黑風格的打扮,中式裡夾雜著Punk風。所謂的暗黑Punk風,當然離不開甚麼魚網絲襪、黑靴了。再加上她臉上有點浮誇的妝容,讓人感覺:她是故意想在這個舞會裡,展現出自己那種很有個性、很有個人風格的型象。332Please respect copyright.PENANAszqXImFf7E
332Please respect copyright.PENANAByHDuOmGpx
樣子方面,連平庸級數也稱不上。可是我,就是偏偏被那種帶有中性打扮的氣質吸引了。332Please respect copyright.PENANAYS7Zi39z8b
332Please respect copyright.PENANAY4UQgS6auE
至於你問我為甚麼連樣子醜也照樣嘗試,很簡單,我就是要甚麼都想嘗試一番,才知自己真正想要甚麼。332Please respect copyright.PENANAkRRHeaFn03
332Please respect copyright.PENANAqrxq8fwI5g
我:你邊間U㗎?332Please respect copyright.PENANAvurZWn4btp
332Please respect copyright.PENANAYYj00eEaqB
Iris:我BU讀arts嘅332Please respect copyright.PENANAPupkLizxHA
332Please respect copyright.PENANAqdzQ0JNL7h
這下子我終於鼓起勇氣,直接詢問她的IG。332Please respect copyright.PENANA2QKQHOTAAy
332Please respect copyright.PENANAvInDBWyQux
Iris:你想寫小說?332Please respect copyright.PENANAxvY7rERV2p
Iris:咁你應該讀文科喎,點解去左Engine嘅?332Please respect copyright.PENANAJHaTJP82eb
332Please respect copyright.PENANA8uiUr9pg7D
我:Engine搵食嘛332Please respect copyright.PENANAJAGZkGWdF6
332Please respect copyright.PENANApiNfn5eVIh
我們的聊天,都是圍繞著簡單的背景了解、例如大學生活等等。當然,參加這個舞會的人大多數都只是放假沒事幹而來,所以如果你認真相信學生會所說的「從舞會中尋找真愛」,那你就輸了。332Please respect copyright.PENANAGsddsqP6MW
332Please respect copyright.PENANAs0E1sYIBxx
這晚完結了,我彷彿從不同人身上,更加了解到自己的特質。原來我除了會被樣子不俗直女給引之外,我還會被一些愛中性打扮的女生給引。當然,中性打扮,不等於男性化打扮,太過男性化的話我倒是沒有好感。332Please respect copyright.PENANAYwrhJEaWWm
