Dear you

I wanted to try a different style of writing for this one hehe

Dear you,

We met in a very unromantic way. I saw you at a friend's party, well, our mutual friend ella's to be exact. I was semi tipsy and super confused and you were kind of just sitting there on the couch staring at everyone with your mean looking eyes, and drunk me kind of just saw you and thought hey you should annoy this girl.

So I did. I walked up to you and tried to convince you i wasn't one sip away from being drunk, and you were trying to brush me off, but HAH! I never was a quitter, even when i'm batshit drunk. So i got you to talk about why the hell you were being an asshole to me, a complete stranger who happened to be drunk, and you said it's because some guy called LA stood you up.

So in my mind i was thinking shit LA you stood up this beauty?

You noticed me staring and rolled your eyes, which of course made me want to mess around with you even more cause you were SO overdramatic.

An hour later karma got you back and you were even drunker than me, which I thought wasn't even possible since my alcohol tolerance level is pretty impressive.

As you put your arm around my waist and sang the ugliest cover of chinito I've ever heard, I realized that we would get along just fine.

A couple of weeks later i never heard from you again. Which was fine with me since college kept me busy almost all of the time. I could've easily asked who you were from ella but my mind was so preoccupied with trying to pass I didn't even think about you.

That is until I saw a really drunk selfie of us on my phone, and suddenly I remembered you. The pretty drunk nuisance from ella's party.

I showed ella the picture and asked her who you were and she told me, take note this is what she said in her exact words: "dennise lazaro. Sorority leader ko. Don't even think about it ly."

She looked me dead in the eyes and told me not to get involved with you because you were wild and popular and bitchy and yadah yadah yadah i knew she was just using that as an excuse because it would be awkward for her to imagine me and you as a thing but that only made me want to be with you more.

So, since i was also kind of well known around the campus, i pulled a few strings and figured out when and where your classes were the following week. Stalker na kung stalker but what can I say? I'm not a quitter.

I saw you walking in the hallways and approached you, putting on my innocent smile immediately as you looked at me in confusion.

I admit, i was a little bit offended you didn't remember me. Or that you didn't know me. Everyone knew me in school, you might think i sound super mahangin when you read this but IT'S TRUE.

I'm in every party, in every secret social gathering in Ateneo, and suddenly you show up and don't know who I am? Nakakainsulto den.

"Who the hell are you?" Was the first thing you said to me. True story.

I told you all about that night and how you were so drunk you almost drowned in the pool. You laughed, looked at me confidently and said "dennise lazaro does not get drunk, you liar."

I was super insulted and annoyed at your stupid pretty face for thinking I was a liar so i invited you to Bea de Leon's party that same night just to show you that dennise lazaro can in fact get drunk and that she is a lightweight.
