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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkp16ZCIHK
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0h4s8zgom
「I have died every day waiting for you.」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicrMaNJtyk
「Darling, don't be afraid. 」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvTU876iFY
「I have loved you for a thousand years.」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYrXI8YHWS
「I'll love you a thousand more.」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE6IIkeXtV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6HoBQMGIj
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQprrdf6u9l

「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYPPymZxCQ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F2h1mm5NT
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr62kQoOLq0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPCc9D10kj
「你邊間school㗎？」找到她後，我就向她打個招呼。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtU74foumY
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5q4R9Qk6Z
「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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBuO8ueE9Z
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cWVK3GclW
我：Engine418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfWp8wOkhJ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cG9WfZWLp
她：你有玩過之前Ocamp？418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfpVhcXgUd
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51nMnmMtmd
我：邊個ocamp？418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSDPYAd0Os
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP50mM1UOE0
她：Hall 3418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTtDKx8O44
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZuZ5Dqm7q
我：我玩開hall 4嗰個。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3PH5hvBjS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9uCud93MM
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6q5qCgbVu
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3W8hdXVYC
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg3aPhnbNp
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g7dzhFx4m
只要她也一樣想不出話題，就真的dead air了。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HBcXITFi3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UmB7pAcm8
結果如我所料，她直接「結束配對」，去找回她的朋友聊天了。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOlvHT2qtN
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yFCNvuSpx
「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgR4NmokoH
「當然我哋都好自由，你可以去搵其他異性嘅。」台上的MC說。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzcjCd4BdF
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa3ErEQcDD
我只好自由行，四處看看有沒有其他相熟的同學也在場。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIqw1ybtAZ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0pq16W7N
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikumqipeWY
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80kF1JRQeB
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8FrB3NZDZ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWKRn779Ah
「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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vLy6AjQ9G
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzPGW6ojKT
我：想識下唔同嘅人啫，咪專登過嚟呢度囉。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zigx5i3fh
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9UB8rqXBu
Joyce：啱，我哋都係想識多啲人先嚟。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFlQSKWu3Z
（她展示出表示認同的手勢和表情。）418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBVuJ0WuM0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5PY760R1Y
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgpQu76hoP
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtmUOS3q0v
我：頭先唔係有仔同你跳舞嘅？咁快就俾人unmatch咗喇？418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnZK4CkOXj
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREnOJ6epaO
Hilary：係我unmatch佢就真！418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6IIJt6gMO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdGUme6Qa8
Joyce：你快啲去搵靚女傾計啦，gogogo！418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dtxZBejs5
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAjHpBkT6x
Hilary：係，除咗我哋兩個之外。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93xdL9WbRl
（嘴上帶點奸的微笑）418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKpo0Er3tk
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvzfC1Of7x
就這樣，她們便打發我離去。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u1T5KMnoB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz0fRnQczy
你知我的⋯⋯不太懂得找話題去跟別人聊天。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy80mx3eXgV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLlkhDaUzV
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4RBT5hAhk
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsH6ayqspp
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOko7PWqmA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvI1jXuwTD
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJY1iytBJY
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN71qtTXiJ
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBk2i75pDR
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QjXn1Am2p
如是者，晚會就快要結束。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXTrwJ872r
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlPh9R31N6
「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！」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ZBFR5JvC
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l45M8K0Y6
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！418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIXZ9Bn6QZ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsUGOm38NJ
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！418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T3LalnoZz
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWskJvBv5hV
這個晚會的最後，我還是一人獨來獨往我渡過。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2BfShsN68
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSREgArcWU
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yAMSVS6ng
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZhT1452sk
唉，怎麼我會如此沒出息？418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Ha6xf0CN
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHQTAhTWUd
「點呀，搵到女朋友未呀？」Hilary話中帶著挪揄的語氣向我道。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOIfxbb92e
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg5E4sVX3v
我：未呀！418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKGRdqL4Uj
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqUcDzcbtw
Joyce：垃圾組仔。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXJjxByiPn
（Joyce也一同挪揄。）418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39uo112Eyq
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmgSuqCgVT
我：我落去洗個手先，轉頭好快有㗎啦。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFasmMGr0w
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ7fTnI52q
我只好逞強地回道，然後假裝沒事地走到洗手間裡。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7CnshmNz7
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJZOcYdFo
「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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Il6DZNExY
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkE2IYJD49
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKtZIDpocP
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZrTR2uO5d
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39e5gdxOfY
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuhjWSLR7r
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3SuaRFglb
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ezmlyfT8U
我：你邊間U㗎？418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNfZxs6w1v
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7iB2WkAnQ
Iris：我BU讀arts嘅418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI2GKawNnl
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFevwMfbEOr
這下子我終於鼓起勇氣，直接詢問她的IG。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq4IM4kmi0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7VFVzaaC
Iris：你想寫小說？418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc2eHhC7KA
Iris：咁你應該讀文科喎，點解去左Engine嘅？418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRTnNIY1F6
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8pGskExE5
我：Engine搵食嘛418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf4YFBaCpn
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc2vlvuJBE
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcienqqHWNk
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfvaMV4Y3W
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs4xuAPMdf
