Hello! Welcome to 'Him, Whom She Loved First.' This is my first ever story that I will publish here on Wattpad. At first, I was timid to upload this here since I thought of this randomly. However, someone, whom I really admire, inspired me to share this with all of you. Thank you for giving this story a chance, and I sincerely appreciate it!

"Nagsimula na pala sila. Late na nga ata talaga tayo."
Sabi ni sakin ni Patty, sabay pindot ng doorbell. Late na kami at nagpalast minute request pa yung tatlo. Nandito kami ngayon sa labas ng bahay ni Leigh, bitbit namin yung bagong biling electronic keyboard ni Patty at yung mga pagkain na pinabili sa amin ng boys. Dito pa lang sa labas rinig na rinig na yung tunog ng drums. Tuloy-tuloy kasi ang rehearsal namin ngayon dahil next next week na yung Battle of the Bands sa CU. Mamaya-maya bumukas na yung gate at sinalubong kami ni Manang, yung kasambahay nila Leigh. Ngumiti siya nang makita niya kami.
"Andito na pala kayo, pasok na. Kanina pa kayo inaantay nung tatlo." Pinatuloy niya kami sa loob at inabot niya mula sa akin yung pagkaing dala-dala ko.
"Ilalagay ko lang muna ito sa mga plato tapos ihahatid ko na lang sa inyo." Pumunta siya sa kusina para ihanda yung dinala namin at kami naman dumiretso na sa bakuran para mag-practice sa studio. Papalapit na kami ng biglang napatigil si Patty sa paglalakad. Bigla akong napatingin sa kanya.
"No way. Don't tell me kumakanta talaga siya." Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay dahil obvious naman na wala akong idea sa sinasabi niya. Nginitian niya lang ako at naglakad na siya ulit. Ako naman, syempre, sumunod na lang sa kanya. Medyo weird din itong babaeng ito eh.
However, when we were about a step closer to the door, I could hear a deep voice singing.
It was something I wasn't familiar with.
A deep yet mellowed voice I hadn't heard before.
Binuksan na ni Patty yung pinto ng studio at pumasok na kami sa loob. Nauna siya sa akin para i-set up yung bago niyang keyboard at ako naman, pinatong ko yung bag ko sa parang locker namin. Pagkalagpas ko dun sa maliit na corridor, nakita ko sila. Nakita ko siya. Kinakanta yung song ng Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine na Stereo Hearts. Nasa bridge part na sila.
Buti na lang busy si Patty sa pag-aayos nung keyboard at yung mga boys naman busy sa pagtugtog at pagkanta kaya hindi nila ako napansing nakatitig sa lalaking kumakanta nung bridge ng song.
Tatlo silang andoon, pero at that moment, why is he the only one I cared to look at?
Siya ba yung tinutukoy ni Patty kanina?
"I only pray you'll never leave me behind,"
"Because good music can be so hard to find,"
Why did I find myself staring at him so tenderly?
My feet were glued to the ground while admiring him.
His voice captivated me so much. I was smitten.
"I take your hand and pull it closer to mine,"
For a second, I felt his eyes landed on me when he sang that line.
He smirked a little.
"Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind"
Since then, I have started seeing him in a new light.
Fuck butterflies,
I can feel the whole zoo whenever I'm looking at him.
