What girl doesn't dream of finding her Prince Charming?
At the age of 16, I thought I'd found mine.Everybody said we were meant for each other and that were the perfect couple. And I had to agree with that . We loved each other so much,and nothing could separate us.
At least,that's what I thought---until graduation day.
"Jersey,let's not do this.Damn it!"Paul stepped away from me.
I looked at him in confusion.I'd gone to the Einstein Room of our school as soon as I gotten his text .My friend Sath and I had been look for him so we could have our pictures taken before the ceremonies, so I'd been exicited to find him.He'd kissed me when I arrived,but this time,it felt diffirent,and he gazed at me apologetically.
I stared him,not sure what I was hearing. "Say that again?"
"Let's stop this.Let's break up."
I laughed and took his hand . "Stop kidding around Ilagan.Come on Jerro's waiting for us"
Paul pulled away,looking angry and frustrated. "I'm not kidding, Jersey.I said we should break up.What part of that isn't xlear to you?
Eye closed my eyes,not really believing that this was happening. "Why are you doing this,Paul?"
"I'm a guy,Jersey,and we're going to college.That's how things work."
I opened my eyes and stared at h."Well that's just stupid.What does being a guy have to do with it? We've been happy the whole year we've been together."
"I have my needs,Jersey!I dont think I can balance college life and our relationship,and I might fall inlove with someone else".
"We're going to the same college!You know what?You're not acting like the Paul Ivan Ilagan that I knew and loved."
He managed to grin at me."Maybr you never knew me at all."
We stared at each other for a moment.I didn't know what was going through his mind, but the memories of the past year was racing through mine.Was this really it for us?
My phone rang,breaking the spell.I rejected the call amd I turned back to Paul."So this is it?Damn you and your timing,doing this in on the day of our graduation."
He replied, "It's the right moment, Jersey.This is me graduating from you and our relationship." Then he walked out the door.
And that was that
So much for Prince Charming
