Us. {Based on a real story}

Stuck in a memory.

I still remember how we happened, huh.

Even if I tried to forget I couldn't.

I came back from Ireland to study in the Philippines, my parents thought it would be a good idea to enter me in a school where there was high-standard education. So they applied me into a school called Aveston university.

See I'm half Irish half Filipino.

But my parents thought I'd have a better chance of getting a better education by transferring me.

I was entered as an elementary student I was 9 years old, innocent, naïve, had no idea what love was or where I could find it.
I was more focused on my studies really, my parents expected from me, they wanted me to become their perfect little girl, but I couldn't give them what they wanted no matter how hard I tried. I studied as hard as I could but I couldn't keep up with the others.

It's not that I was failing, I still got honours, medals, achievements, they were still proud of me and that was enough.
But they always wanted more out of me, But I couldn't give them more, I was distracted. I didn't know why I was, there was just something missing. Something that I just felt needed to be there.

But I put all of that away, I couldn't deal with it anymore. I gave up on trying to find what it was or rather who it was.
I only figured that out now how smart of me. I would just tell myself "walang kulang" or "there is nothing missing".

I was young I didn't want to dig deep yet. So I focused on my studies, made friends, acted normal. Or as normal as a 9 year old girl could be.

So I started in Aveston university I made a few friends, I was doing pretty well with the whole, New Girl fiasco.
I had a best friend, a lot of friends, but I also made a few enemies. They'd say bad stuff about me and I'd try to ignore them but deep down I knew it hurted, I knew that the feeling I felt was more than pain, I was starting to get a depressed but I didn't let it get to me. My mother would tell me "Don't bother them, they're just jealous, because you're smart, talented, beautiful and so much more and they don't have that".

But I partially didn't believe her.

So I smiled, I laughed, I faked the whole thing. The whole me was a fake for a few months, I tried not to cry, because I missed my friends, I missed doing what I loved, but I didn't want to seem like a sensitive brat. So I held in my feelings. And I started opening up to people, I started to understand that not everything I wanted to happen was going to actually become reality. Because what does? So I stopped thinking about that subject I fought on.

As I said I was young, I moved on didn't bother them, and they stopped bothering me, I was becoming happy, well happier then what I was a few months back. I moved onto 4th-5th class, that's when I actually felt like I was welcome, That's the time where I started improving I started doing something with my life.

That's when I met him.

His name was Noah Alexander Jacobsen.

It was so funny, I liked him ever since third class it was puppy love. But back then I was the only one that liked him, he never acknowledged me. But I continued liking him. Until 4th class a friend of mine told me that he likes me back.

And I laughed at her statement.

" Ha? Are you serious, me. He likes me?" I said.

"Why you're pretty, you're nice, why wouldn't he?" She replied.

"But, are you sure? Like are you joking with me or something?" I said.

"No, oh my god Lexi, he told me, well I forced him to tell me, really." She stated as she rolled her eyes at me.

"You forced him to tell you? You're crazy, Are you insane! Oh my god he probably thinks I made you ask him, he probably thinks I'm insane now." I rattled off.

"Calm down, Jesus, I'm sorry, I was just curious, 'cause you-her n-no I'm so stupid!" She exclaimed

And we both kind of talked simultaneously and just stood there blabbing out "sorries" and "Oh my god" and a few "ugh" 's.
Until we both simmered down and just stood there in the middle of the hallway outside my classroom door.

"S-so, what else did he say?" I shyly questioned.

She smiled.

"He told me, that he likes you more than Vanessa." She said.

"Really?, I-I'm sorry for what just happened, I was just panicking and I didn't know what to do." I apologised

"It's okay really, I shouldn't have been nosy, but hey a friends gotta do what a friends gotta do." She joked.

"Shut-up" I giggled.

"Haha!, you should go talk to him." She said.

"Sh-should I really?, I'm nervous." I stuttered

"Well yeah what's the point of me telling you, if you're just going to ignore it" she calmly stated.

"Okay, fine. I'll try, see you later! Thanks again." I stood up.

"Okay bye!" She walked off.

I walked down the stairs and I saw him near the benches, I calmly approached him, but every step I took I was battling with my mind in whether I should turn back or talk to him like a dignified human being.

I chose the right path, I walked down to him. He saw me and looked away as if he thought that I wasn't going to talk to him.

I stopped.

"Hi." I said.

At this time we were already friends well kinda friends.

"Hey." He replied

"So, you haven't told me something yet, huh?" I joked.

"W-what?" He blushed.

"T-that, y-you wanted, to be friends! Yeah that." I decided not to tell him because I felt bad.

"O-oh that y-yeah!" He stated obviously relieved.

"Yeah" I said blushing.

Well at least he wanted to be friends.

"Yeah" he replied blushing too.

"S-so you want to get something to eat at the cafeteria?" He said nervously.

"Yeah, sure." I smiled.

And we walked off together just drinking orange juice we both participated into something that would just grow and blossom into something that we both didn't expect.
