Every time&amp;nbsp;he calls Jane up, she hangs up the phone. He has tried countless times yet failed. John has no&amp;nbsp;shame of himself or rather&amp;nbsp;no dignity. He could not get rid of her&amp;nbsp;off his mind. It seems to him life is not worth living without Jane. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sometimes John&amp;nbsp;was wondering why Jane feels so repulsive to him.&amp;nbsp;It seemed to him that he had done nothing wrong except flirting with her younger sister a lot. Of all his faults, obsession is John's greatest enemy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Lately John&amp;nbsp;is dejected&amp;nbsp;and wandering&amp;nbsp;nowhere. He&amp;nbsp;is growing&amp;nbsp;a long beard.&amp;nbsp;His mother thought he looks like an old man. Actually John&amp;nbsp;dislikes the beard because it is making him itchy.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At&amp;nbsp;last birthday party he went, his&amp;nbsp;good&amp;nbsp;friends thought he&amp;nbsp;was getting insane with such a long beard. John&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;becoming moody&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;the party when he saw his&amp;nbsp;ex-girlfriend with another guy. He used to think&amp;nbsp;that he held her hands and kissed her whenever he liked. But the girl&amp;nbsp;belonged to the fatty. It&amp;nbsp;made him sick when he&amp;nbsp;gave himself&amp;nbsp;some&amp;nbsp;imagination about them. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At the&amp;nbsp;party,&amp;nbsp;John was gazing at the girl wearing&amp;nbsp;eyeglasses for a long time.&amp;nbsp;Someone asked him what the matter was.&amp;nbsp;Somehow he was&amp;nbsp;capitviting&amp;nbsp;by this girl. The girl had scarlet&amp;nbsp;lips, smooth&amp;nbsp;cheek,and pointy nose.&amp;nbsp;Somehow he&amp;nbsp;had no courage to&amp;nbsp;talk to her. The girl&amp;nbsp;beamed&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;him&amp;nbsp;while&amp;nbsp;she was talking to&amp;nbsp;her friend.&amp;nbsp;All of a sudden, Jane was coming back to his mind.&amp;nbsp;It was like a ghost that was haunting him&amp;nbsp;for the rest of the evening.&amp;nbsp;Somehow there was some mysterious power that he should have behaved himself in the party. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you &lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
