First Love.. Love In Between.. And The Last Love

The Hi's And Hello's

Does First Love Really Destined To Last Or Are We Meant To Meet Someone Else?

Then..
"Pepper, talk to him, he's looking at you", _ my friends always push me to talk and make a move since he is a shy guy.
"hi!" _ I said and smiled..
He smiled back., with big round eyes that seemed to talk to my soul. He was too shy to say hello back, and just settled in pinching the edge lace of his backpack.

I only wanted to have crushes and someone to admire me back.
But faith has destined us to see each other everyday. He's class is next to mine or we'll bump at each other at the cafeteria.

"Hi!" _ he said.. And just run away..
What was that?? I asked my friends.. So annoyed of what he has done, I went over to their table and said..
"hi, I'm Pepper, and you are?"
"I'm Ni.. Nik... Niklaus" he muttered..

"Hi Ni, Nik, Niklaus, whichever among the three your name is, it's rude to say hi and then turn back and runaway".. Looking at him with my fierced glaring eyes
"I'm sorry" he said as shy as usual
"You know what, I have a free time after Science around 3:30.. Meet me at the student shed later..." I didn't gave him a chance to respond I just went back to my friends.
We were 5 tables away from them but apart from the loud noise of the crowd inside the cafeteria I can still hear his friends teasing him of seeing me later in the afternoon.

Now I am asking myself, why did I do that? What am I going to say to him? What will he think of me making a move when I'm a girl?
A lot of questions inhabited my mind since that confrontation at the cafeteria and I was not able to focus on my studies that afternoon, especially in Statistics. Well I never liked the subject anyway but it's not like me. I'm the top student of the class, excel in almost everything. Sectioned with the so called cream of the crop.
Have I ruined my reputation as most sought after person at school?
Good looks not that I brag about it, but I have lots of suitors in and out of the school.
Hardcore chick, pretty, smart and intelligent and most of all a volleyball mvp.

As the clock hands goes nearer 3:30 I am beginning to have cold sweats, butterflies in my stomach.
The hell with this, I said to myself.
He's a nobody, just some student at the lower section. He's nothing..

3:30....
Instead of going to the shed I went to the cafeteria, bought a soda and sat there reading my book for my History class at 4:15.
It's 3:45 when I looked at my watch. Lovel my bestie asked me what I'm doing at the cafeteria when I have set to meet Niklaus at the shed.
"Pepper, he is there waiting.. He has class and yet he waited for you there. What are you doing?"
Guilty as I was, my feet moved as swiftly as it could towards the student shed.
There he was, sitting while tapping his foot and then he saw me and stood still.
Seeing him in his white polo shirt and blue pants and adidas shoes, is a good sight.
Even though class is almost over his uniform is still neat and clean, compare to his friends whose clothes are crumpled if not stained for the whole day activity of gagging each other at school.
I didn't realize that I just stood there and he already walked towards me with a sweet smile on his lips. The smile is as wide as it can be that shows happiness and gladness of seeing someone that you have waited for a long time..
Over imagining much?! I wake myself.. He waited for just 20 minutes its not a big deal.
So there, I said hi to him, told him I had to study for the exam in history and I forgot about the meet up and I didn't give any thought that he would meet me there and wait.
The next day.. He waited at the school gate.. I saw him sitting there and stood up as soon as I stepped down the bus... He walked with me inside the school campus and until first period room. He was cheerful as we talked.. I never knew that you can talk as much topic in just a 15min walk. I also didn't noticed the eyes that stopped and looked at the two of us..

Days passed we became good friends.
His friends befriended mine and everyone got along just fine.

"Is he your boyfriend?" _ Jamie asked me.
"No!!??" _ I quickly replied
