Splash Love

Jumpball

I can exactly recall the moment I fell in love with Jay. The memory is so vivid it gives me the goosebumps till now.

Alam mo yung slow mo sa movies when the girl meets the boy? Ganon na ganon yung nangyari.

I am in my second year in high school, Jay was on his last year. We always spend time together if we have same vacant periods. Best friends since childhood nga di ba? Eh magkapitbahay pa? So parang nakasanayan na.

So back on "the moment." Vacant period and I needed something in the library so I just texted Jay to head there if he's available.

I was busy scanning books on the fiction aisle. I am a hopeless romantic. Romance novels are my thing. I don't know but they just make me happy. Ang babaw ba? Basta ganon!

"My heart has been fleeting. It seems that I'm longing for something I can't fathom. My heart has been longing. For that someone who will see no one but me. I closed my eyes. And wished on the stars above. That by the time I open my eyes, he'll be there with a smile that will capture my fleeting heart."

I didn't just read those words. Rather I felt it. I even closed my eyes and just feel.

Dei...

My heart skipped a beat. I slowly opened my eyes and like in the movies, there he is. My best friend Jay, with a bright smile on his face. In a slow mo. My own slow mo moment.

Daym. I love him. I fell in love with my best friend Jay.
