[A/N: Haaaallleeeerr! Sa mga makakabasa po nito pasensya na po kayo sa aking tryhard english. LOL. Medyo bata pa ako nung sinulat ko ito saka hindi naman talaga ganun kagaling ang english grammar ko! Hahaha. Tagalog nga baliko pa rin ang pagsasalita at pagsusulat ko eh. Hehehe. Kung may mali man eh pasensya na ah? Wag niyo akong aawayin! Hihi.]

I’ve changed a lot.

I transformed myself from the ugly nerd to the every boy’s dream girl.

I was living my life when I heard the news, he died. He was or he is my first love. I was shocked and hurt at the same time. We did not have any progress in our relationship. We remained friends just like what we had before I fell for him. He accepted me as who I am. He befriended me even though we are the exact copy in real life of The Prince and The Pauper though now the genders are different. I went to the funeral together with my high school friends who are also friends with him. I saw my batch mates and other schoolmates when I was still in high school. They were all looking at me. It’s just like they saw a goddess who came down from Mt.Olympus. They saw Venus the Roman Goddess of Love although in her human form- and that human form is ME. We sat in the nearest available seat that was available.

“Hey. Who’s the girl?” A classmate when I was in fourth year asked. His name is James.

“You don’t really remember me?” OMG. He looked like he’s really confused and thinking deeply.

“HAHAHA!” Aya and Jamie laughed.

They forgot that we were in a funeral for heaven’s sake!

“She’s Samantha!” They said in chorus.

James’ face is really funny! It was like this O_____O. His eyes grew bigger. Hahaha.

“Sammie! Is that really you?! Fluffy!” Okay. For an unknown reason he calls me 'fluffy'. He said I was his favorite-to tease and all. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any feelings for him and he towards me. We were really great friends too just like my first love.

“Yah. It is really me, J” Everybody calls him J but to his girlfriend-yes he has a girlfriend he has another name. I was jealous that time. Haha. I guess the favorite thing stuck on my mind and never left. I was not his favorite anymore maybe that’s why I am really not in good terms with Gina.

“Oh my god! Samantha?! Nigel, she really is Samantha! It sounds just like her!” And what do you mean by that? I always wondered why this kind, popular pretty boy will fall for this ugly dwarf. She is really a dwarf and she is..okay...not that pretty. Well now I am much prettier!

“Yes, Gina. I am Samantha so please could you lower down your voice. We are in a funeral, remember?”

We are in my first love’s funeral.

I totally forgot about that.

I am in my first love’s funeral- August.

“Okay”

So after that we talked about certain topics and reminisced about our past life and also about August. I want to cry every time I think about him. I am distracting myself so that I would not remember something about him. I looked all over the room and saw her- Karissa. She is his current girlfriend before he died. I know that because they were together since we were seniors in high school and now we are sophomores in college. Oh no. She caught me staring at her then she smiled weakly. I also smiled back at her and of course weakly too. She’s not the only one suffering.

“I need to go somewhere” I told them.

“Ok. Call us if you need us.” Jamie said to me.

“Okay. Thanks”
