Chapter 1: The one

Never pa akong na in love sa buong buhay ko. False. I've fallen in love, but I've fallen in love in the best way that I know. 

Una akong na in love noong Grade 6 pa ako, I don't know if I could say him as my first love pero I think he is. He taught me that life isn't that cruel, despite everything that had gone through and so he taught me how to love him back. But he wasn't that good enough to be “the one.”. Ngayong fourth year na ako, natuto na ako magseryoso. Hahanapin ko na siya, hahanapin ko na si Mr. Right. Marunong naman ako magseryoso, pero siguro I just don't take it to the next level. Siguro hanggang M.U lang. Dahil I know, it will just end to nothing.

Hey I got deep dark brown eyes, dark brown wavy hair with light brown highlights, red apple colored lips and a spanish like complexion. Not to brag, who would not fall in love with me?

So I found him, I found Race Montecillo. You will see him as the guy you always want. He has the looks and the charms. He got money too. I thought he was all that, pero hindi pala. Isa siyang seryoso typical kind of guy nothing to do but to make fun of other people and ask for goddamn answers during exams. Yeah, he might be funny pero when you get the hang of him, makikita mo na sobra siyang seryoso na halos wala na siyang pakielam sa mundong ito. Race can be a flirt too, pero nasa lugar naman. 'Yung tipong hindi intimidating? That's what I like about him. Pero the first thing that made me fall for him was he showed me that he was the most perfect kind of guy I know. More like, he was my prince charming.

He helps me in class. In fact, he was my seatmate in our 2 major subjects. He seats with me kahit hindi kami magkatabi when he's in the mood or when he needs a cheatmate. We were very close friends pero I don't count him as one of my friends. I don't know if he thinks what I'm thinking. He always borrow my gadgets, especially my iTouch. I don't know pero bakit sa akin pa? Pero napaisip ako, nagaassume ba ako na gusto niya ako kaya malapit siya sa akin? Pero I decided to oppose what I thought. Malamang ay kaya lang iyun nanghihiram kasi ako lang ang madalas niyang kausap, besides his friends. 

He was also my dance partner for our Christmas program. Every boy in our class wants to exchange partners with him, but he always rejects. I don't know but I was glad he did that. He also knows everything about me, I was shocked dahil hindi ako nagoopen up sa kanya masyado about personal stuffs. He knows na my father is a lawyer while my mom works for the government. I don't tell that to most of the class, only my friends because I don't want people to think na sobrang proud ako sa parents ko na parang nagmamayabang na ako. 

“Babs.” mapapalingon agad ako pag naririnig ko sa isang Race Montecillo iyan. 

Babs. He also knows I love bears and fluppy things. And *tada* he calls me Babs. He calls me that when he's in the mood to make fun.

Did I also tell you, he once told me I'm beautiful? Cute is different from beaufiful. Wala sa akin kung sabihan niya akong cute kahit sinasabihan niya ako 'nun madalas dahil for him, it's just says na I'm funny to watch yet I don't look very ridiculous. One time, I was humiliated in our English class dahil sa kanya. I pouted sabay hinampas siya ng sobrang malakas.

“Wag kang brutal, Babs.” he was laughing when he said that. 

“Nakakainis ka, Race! I hate you!” ayoko kasi sa lahat ng napapahiya ako. I was shocked dahil napaiyak na ako sa balikat niya.

“Ikaw kasi eh. Masyado kang lutang. Pero wag kang mag-aalala, ang cute mo kaya kanina.” sabi niya sabay tumingin na muli sa teacher namin na tumatawag ng pangalan sa klase namin.

It was the first time he called me cute, but the first time he called me beautiful? I couldn't help, I was smiling the whole day.

“Do you think na bagay sa akin ito?” we were picking out costumes for our upcoming program. I saved a few pictures of costumes sa iTouch ko kaya dinamay ko na din 'yung sa kanya. Well, he asked if I could save some for him also.

“Ayos lang naman 'yan eh. Kaya mo naman bagayan lahat ng damit kasi maganda ka.”

Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Hindi ko na alam kung normal pa ba 'yun o hindi. I got used to be called pretty pero bakit iba pagdating sa kanya?

Pag galing sa isang Race Montecillo?

Lagi kaming tinutukso ng mga kaklase namin, pati na din ang mga kaibigan namin. We look so sweet in all na para bang kami na talaga. And I thought, hindi ako maiinlove sa kanya. I was wrong. 

We look so perfect together. They said. I just can't help but smile at those kind of teases. Oo na, I had a crush on him. Pero tumagal, mas lalo na akong nainlove sa kanya. Race is driving me crazy.
