Anthon,
​Hi! I know you will probably not read this letter but I'm just gonna keep writing. I'm sorry if I left you at the mall that day. I'm sorry if I make you believe that you don't mean to me. I'm sorry for making you lose your faith on me. I'm sorry for the other things I should be sorry for. But I am not sorry for ever loving you. My love for you may be stronger or beyond friendship, what you believe I feel for you, but I just want to tell you how I really feel even if it will might be the last time. I know you feel hurt because of what I did but I cannot really tell you what is really happening. I may be selfish for keeping these things from you but I am just doing this so as not to hurt you. I know I already hurt you for leaving you but you knowing the truth will hurt more. At the end of this letter, I will finally tell you everything that I've been keeping from you. By the end of this letter, I know you will feel guilty. Don't. Please don't. Always remember that whatever happened to me was not your fault. It was what the Lord has planned for me from the start. It may be painful, but can you just think of me finally happy and in no pain? Keeping this from you is as hard as how I am feeling every time I see you ignore me. Nonetheless, I still love you with my whole heart, till my last breath.
​I should probably tell you how and when I fall for you. Simple. You had me from the day you helped me picked up my books from the floor from when your 'buddies' dumped into me. From that day on, I know that it will be impossible for you to notice me. But maybe destiny has other things planned out. Whenever I am in the library doing homework or just plain reading, you're always there. You may be with your friends or on your own, but I feel that connection we had even in a short time. And then you started noticing me and talking to me. You don't know how happy you made me whenever you say a simple 'Hi' to me or just nod my way. You don't know but you kept me alive. Then you asked me out on a friendly date. We went, it was fun and you even drive me home. A couple of 'friendly dates' followed that and we are so happy. But, in Valentine's Day, we were supposed to meet at the mall to watch a movie and go book shopping but I never came. I saw you from  the window I was hiding from when suddenly I fainted. The clerk helped me out and called the ambulance. I never told you about my poor health. I never told you I was diagnosed with blood cancer. I never thought it would come back. I never thought from that day on, my life was like a ticking time bomb. I saw you from the corner even before I fainted. You are just sitting there with your headphones on, ignoring the outside world. If I just told anyone that I am with you then maybe you came with me to the hospital. But being the selfish me, I never did anything I told you. So in the end, my cancer came back, I never came to our date, you ignored me from then on seeing me with Paul and it just hurts worse. I then saw you with Genna. When I approached you, you kissed her and I got the message. We never interacted from that day. We see each other pass by the hallways but no nods or exchanges of 'Hi' were given. We remained like that until you are a senior while I am a junior. I don't know what else to tell you after this but what I wanted to tell you now is that I hope you are happy. I can see that you are still with Genna and so I hope you two will last.
​Mark Anthony Reyes, I am sorry for keeping this from you. Maybe, we not meeting for our last date were a sign that you are never meant for me. What I am feeling was a one sided love. The kind of love that brings me joy and pain but will most likely to stay with me even after I die.
​By the time you read my letter, I may no longer be part of these universe. But I sure hope that you will keep me in your minds. And please don't hate me for this. I love you Mark Anthony, forever and always.
​

Anya,
​Can you kindly give my letter to Mark? The letter which is in between my bible and my favorite book. Thank you bess.

Mindy
​You will never know you finally have someone worth living, when that someone hurt you and even worst left you. I have been looking for that special someone that will make my heart flutter and pulse quicken. I never thought I can find her, but I did. I found her picking up her books from when my friends accidentally bumped into her. Her name is Mindy Cruz, a lovely name for a pretty girl. I never thought that I will finally find her but now that I did, I will make sure to treasure her.
​She has long black hair tied in a braid on the side of her head. Deep brown eyes, too deep that I know I can get something from. That type of smile that I like to see every morning. The cutest dimple I have ever seen. She may be short and I like that. She is perfect for me since I'm tall, brown hair and brown eyes. I may not have dimples like she did but I just know that we will make a good and cute couple. I didn't know I thought so much with just a glance. Crouching down, I helped her pick up her books. Huh, Loving Cara aye. I know that Cara means dear or darling in Italian. So these are the type of books she likes to read. So noted.
​"Are you okay?" I asked her.
​"Yeah. Thank you." she said much in a whisper.
​"Well, I'm sorry that my friends didn't even help you out. I know they can be knucklehead for quite some time but they're good guys. I'm Mark Anthony by the way. But you can call me Mark or anything. What's yours?" I rambled. I don't care that I rambled, what I want is to hear her beautiful voice again.
​"I know you are just saying that since they are your friends and you want to be the different from them but really it is not working. I'm Mindy." She said with a bit of feistiness. Ohhh, I like.
​"Okay you caught me. I did say that to be different but I guess I'm like them huh? So, Mindy...can I..uhmmm.. callyouanytimesoon?" I said in a rush.
