Endless Crush, Unchanging Heart

Coincidence or Fate?

It's Monday again. School again. but why am I smiling? Of course, SHE is the reason. How can she do that? how can she make me smile just by thinking about her? Ngayon lang ako naka feel ng ganto in my entire life.

I got so curious when I heard a noise outside. It seems like the noise came from a handbell ringing. I immediately jumped out of my bed to see where exactly the sound came from. In an instant, my lips turned into an upward smile when I saw that the sound of a small bell ringing came from Irene's bike. it's hanging from her bike's head tube.

She is undeniably pretty even from afar. the fact that she's just wearing a simple red and black checkered blouse, a light blue ripped jeans with her hair flying with the wind and no makeup at all makes her so so pretty.

Gusto ko tawagin ang pangalan niya and greet her good morning but my shyness towards her got the best of me. So i ended up spending my 5 minutes staring at her until she left the gate and i couldn't see her anymore.

2 days have passed but I feel like so many things happened. It still feels so surreal knowing that the girl who tried to save a complete stranger like me, is actually living my in my house.

Habang nasa kotse ako, di ko pa pala nasasabi kila Andre na nakita ko na ulit siya. Sure akong matutuwa sila pag nalaman nila yun. tuwang tuwa sila kay Irene sa kung paano niya itry na i save ako sa kanila without knowing na friends ko sila. Maliban pa dun, cute na cute din sila kay Irene, sino ba namang hindi? she has the prettiest face on earth. a bit exaggerating but it's true.

It's already two in the afternoon and I am currently inside the school's canteen. Sina Fritz, Andre and JB lang ang kasama ko ngayon dahil lahat kami ay walang klase. Mamaya pa siguro magkakaroon ng vacant class Sina Carlo at Kyle.

I may look like a troublesome guy but I badly want to finish college. That is why i am trying my best na hindi maapektuhan ng mga kalokohan ko yung studies ko. I'm already on my third year in college, taking up BSA.

I suddenly wonder kung saan siya nag-aaral. Does she even go to school? I remember the time when I met her again sa kitchen, she looked so serious and busy doing something on her laptop, and lots of papers on the dining table too. So maybe nag aaral siya. Well, i hope so. she looks smart pa naman. sayang kung di siya nag-aaral.

I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, but as I'm thinking about Irene, I notice a girl walking out of the pantry who seems to share some physical features as Irene. She has an average height and shoulder-length hair, much like Irene's. The girl is also wearing a red and black checkered shirt and light blue jeans, which are the same clothes that Irene is wearing. Don't tell me it's..

"Hey," Fritz snapped his fingers at me, breaking my train of thought. "Who's Irene?"

"Who's who?" I asked, confused.

"Kanina ka pa nakatulala" I heard Andre speak "Then suddenly, you uttered the word, Irene. who is she?"

Then I remembered "Oh shit,"

"What?" Nagtatakang tanong nilang lahat

"I saw her," I answered without looking at any of them. My eyes are trying to find Irene.

"Who?" he asked impatiently

I didn't bother answering them. i immediately got off my seat and started running towards the main door of this huge canteen. I keep on walking hastiliy hoping i can catch the girl who looks exactly like Irene.

I keep on walking and walking when someone suddenly grabbed my arm. I turn around to see Belle, one of my classmates in Taxation class.

"Hello, Harry!" She greeted me happily. "The result is out! let's go see it together"
