For you are the one, my heart beats for,
And I will cherish and love you, now and forevermore.

"hey Francine, san ka pupunta? oh bat ang seryoso mo naman yata ngayon?"

yes, i am Francine De Vera
i'm a Senior High School.
Nag transfer ako ng bagong school which is a private school.

"okay class, settle down now. I'd like to introduce our new transfer student from Makabayan University School."

tumahimik ang buong klase nung ako ay pumasok sa room.

are they judging my looks? is there something wrong with my appearance?
bakit ganyan sila maka-tingin sa'kin...

"What's wrong?"

tanong ng teacher namin habang ako ay nakatulala

"oh, i forgot i'm sorry."

sabay ayos ng aking boses nang marinig ko ang boses ng aming guro.

"My name is Francine De Vera and I've always been a dreamer. I love exploring new ideas and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Whether through writing, art, or technology, I'm always looking for ways to express my creativity and connect with others. Join me on this journey, and let's see where our imaginations can take us."

everyone starts clapping their hands after i introduced myself.

woah, are they amazed? or they are just being...

"please take a seat next to mr. villanueva"

who's Villanueva??

"hey nerd, right here."

sigaw ni Mr.Villanueva

"Mr.villanueva!!?!"

sigaw ng guro namin.

a few hours later,

kinausap ako ni mr.villanueva na parang may tinatanim s'yang galit sakin

"Don't call me Mr.Villanueva i get irritated when you call me that."

he saids as he bent over his desk.

"Arte naman neto"

palihim kong sagot

"May sinasabi kaba?"
he said in a sleepy voice...

"Ah wala, sabi ko ano ba dapat itawag ko sayo?"

I lied.

he didn't answer, he fell asleep.

"why did my heart beat faster when I heard his voice...? I've never felt this way before..."
tanong ko sa sarili ko.

a few month later,
Mr. Villanueva and I became close friends.

i mean, Mr. Xavier

I saw him in the middle of the street walking alone with carrying some a heavy books

"Hoy, Xavier!!"
I shouted at him while he was walking

he turned around, when I saw his face looking at me from afar I felt something that I can't explain.

I looked at him like I was looking at the stars.

his two eyes are looking at me, even though he is far away looking at me I can still clearly see his shining eyes.

"hoy, kanina pa kita tinatanong at tinitignan bakit tulalang tulala kaba? okay ka lang? are you sick?"
he said, after he asked me if i am sick he touched my forehead and checked if I had a fever.

"hindi ka naman mainit ha? okay ka lang ba?"
he asked.

"ha??"
"oo okay lang ako, I just zoned out all of a sudden"
i answered.

"are you really sure?"
he asked again.

"yes, i am all fine."
and i answered again.

"oh okay if you say so.
do you want to eat something? sagot ko na."
he said while he put the heavy books aside.

"uh, that seems heavy, let me help you."
I said, and I immediately took half a book to help him

"no no, it's fine, i'm fine. i don't need a help, i. can do this by all myself. don't worry."
as he said, he grabbed the books and took a seat

"here, umupo ka na lang. baka mapa-ano kapa."
he says in a cold and worried tone.

after he finished, he immediately took a seat and sat next to me

"you're so sweaty, halika ka nga dito pupunasan kita."

agad ko kinuha yung panyo na dala dala ko at pinunasan siya.

"kulit kasi, sabi ko tulungan na kita eh pa-cool kid ka kaya hindi ka pumayag."
asar ko sakanya.

in a quiet moment, I didn't notice that he was looking at me while I was wiping his sweat.

"bakit ang ganda ganda mo."
he said randomly

"huh?"
of course nag bingi-bingian ako, I acted clueless because it was really awkward and also exciting.

"wala, sabi ko bakit ang bagal mo mag punas."
he said, and he just laughed

pati paba pag-tawa ang pogi parin.

we spent hours and talked about things.

i am so comfy with you,
feel ko pag kausap kita,
I don't need to change myself.
kasi everytime na may kausap akong iba
I'll try to fit in pa.
Pero,
whenever im talking with you,
i feel like myself.

When I'm with you, I feel complete,
Whole and content, no need to compete.
The world may judge and demand change,
But in your eyes, I'm accepted and arranged.

You see me for who I truly am,
No need to pretend, no need to glam.
My flaws and quirks, you embrace,
No shame, no need to hide or race.

With you, I feel secure and tall,
No need to shrink or feel small.
You lift me up and hold me tight,
A safe haven, a place of light.

Perhaps the world may not understand,
Our bond that's unbreakable and grand.
But in your arms, I find my peace,
A love that's true, that'll never cease.

You make me feel complete and whole,
A deep connection, a pure soul.
So let them judge and demand change,
For with you, I'll never feel strange.

habang nag uusap kami, may tumawag kay xavier.

"Nice to see you again, Xavier."
