A Drop of Stone, A Ripple Followed (Oneshots)

Live, Love, and Let Go

I believe in "soul mate".

I believe in "happily ever after".

I believe in "destiny".

And I also believe that he is my meant to be.

My name is Natalie dela Rama. Sixteen years of age and graduating in high school in Philippines. I'm a romanticist, dreamer, and achiever. But many people said that I'm assuming, delusional, stupid. It hurts, it pains. But no matter how much hurtful words they throw and lash at me, I will never stop waiting for my Mr. Right.

And I met him at last! After all the years of waiting for my other half, he came!

I feel so euphoric, I'm in heaven!

I think this is the chance the heaven gave me to meet my beloved. I will not let this go.

How I met him? I will tell you.

Just like the ordinary days of my life from waking up to going to school, I saw him while I was walking in the hallway. Endymion Cariosa is his name. A student teacher, graduating of Bachelor of Science Major in Social Studies. He's so handsome~ Thick eyebrows, aquiline nose, cherry lips, chiseled face, fair skin, tall height, and looks so strong. Haay~ it's just like Daniel Padilla's song, 'Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat' (You Got It All). Most of all, his uniform, he really looks like a professional teacher!

And here's more! He's going to teach in my class! Yes! I was so happy when I heard the news! Do you imagine, I'll be spending five days a week staring at him for an hour and a half! (With a bit of secret photo taking)

;p

So! When I got home, I wasn't able to get enough sleep thinking about him. Haay~ Sir Dym, why so gwapo (handsome)? Your eyes that sparkles like a star, your shining white teeth, your cute dimples that shows up whenever you smile. You only make me fall deeper in love with you.

He started teaching around November. Why didn't you come any sooner? But it's okay, since you're here now. I swear I'll make you fall in love with me.

I started the plan to make him love me by gaining his attention.

"Hi sir!" Attack mode! Go me!

"Oh, it's you! Miss..." He trailed off.

"Oh come on sir! You can't even remember my name?" I pouted.

"Ahahaha! My apologies. Miss dela Rama, am I right?" Huh? Why is there hesitation in his voice?

"What the heck. Why so doubtful?" I whispered to myself.

"Did you say something?" He inquired. Apparently, my whisper was heard.
