Just Expect the Unexpected

Ever felt a very strange feeling, the feeling that they all call love? Love comes at the most unexpected moment. You’ll never know when and where it would strike you.
I have always known my self as someone who doesn’t care about what other people think about me. I know that many people hate me and I don’t care, because I believe they’re the ones who make my life exciting. Nobody even tried to tell me about what they feel. Not until I was in third year, when a boy openly expressed to the whole class what he felt, that he doesn’t like my ways. I can never forget get what he said. "Bossy man gud kaayo ka", these were the exact words that came from his mouth. I was shocked and I did not know what to say. I did not understand what I felt at that moment. I was just sure of one thing, I was really impressed. Isn’t it very unusual? Because of that incident, we did not become close even though his seat was very close to mine. From that day on, I started to care. I realized that no man is an island and that in this life we need others to carry on. That boy really helped me realize many things about life. At first I was just impressed, but then as time goes by my feelings for him keep on growing. Of course nobody knew about that, even I didn’t know. I just realized how much I love him this school year, my last year in high school. In realizing this feeling, I’ve done many things just to get close to him. If you consider two persons who keep on hurting each other physically still friends, then yes it was effective, we became friends. I was happy and very much contented with the situation. I did not wish for anything else, that friendship was enough for me. Everything stayed the same; we continued fighting over little things. It was just for fun though, it was not a serious fight. Each interaction with him makes me see the real him, someone who is very amazing and simply extraordinary. Who would expect that I would fall for this guy? After what had happened the other year, it seems impossible for us to fall for each other. That’s what they think, but actually, what they believed in didn’t make my hope waver.
It was like being hit by cupid’s stupid arrow. I’m not being presumptuous, but I felt that he started to care during the last days of November. He doesn’t hit my head and slap my hands as painful as before. Honestly, I did not like those changes. I love it when he hits my head with a book. I just miss those days when I ran after him just to hit his forehead. Anyways, I know I can’t do anything about it but at least we're still friends. My most memorable experience with him happened on December 3, 2006. We had to take the DOST scholarship examination on this day. Unfortunately we had different testing areas. I had to take my test at Consolacion while he had to take his test at CIT. Still it’s okay because we were texting before the test started and also after the test. I was in a very good mood while taking the test because of the good luck message that I received from him before the test. After the test, my friends and I went to one of my friend’s house. I wasn’t expecting him to go there too, but he did. All of us then decided to watch two movies. We watched the Wishing Stairs and Saved. The movies were very boring though but they did not spoil my day. The best part of watching those movies was that I was sitting beside him and leaning on him. My head was comfortably placed on his shoulders. The effect of cupid’s arrow was working on me again. At that moment, I was wishing for the time to stop, that I’d forever be together with him. But it had to end and we had to go home. At least I have a moment with him that I will treasure forever. Still I’ll continue loving this guy…
