Entry 27: When Destiny Takes Hold

When I was 16 years old a life changing experience happened to my life.

It was just another boring and ordinary day.

All I do is the usual stuff, read stories, watch television, feed my dog and all the rest I do in my everyday routine.

I'm not fond of texting I usually have load but I do not register for my network's promos.

However that seemingly ordinary summer day...

I didn't know what came into my mind...

It seems that love indeed moves in mysterious ways...

Beep Beep Beep Beep

I checked my cellphone,

1 message received

It was our class president Millie

I opened it because of the [!] mark, whenever Millie makes an important announcement she always marks her texts with that.

I thought it was the announcement of the enrollment of classes but...

[!]

PLUG

Jewel Cervantez

09161669990

*She is a very kind girl and very friendly too. :))

*A smart girl and excels in Mathematics.

*She loves going out with her friends.

*She's energetic and fun to talk with.

*You could seek advice from her; she really does give meaningful advices.

Remember the Golden Rule: "Treat others the way you wanted to be treated." and the saying "Respect begets respect."

I don't know what came into my mind that I was so interested in that girl, whom Millie plugged so I asked Millie more information about her,

According to Millie, Jewel won't talk to me unless I am the first one to approach.

I texted her:

Hi Jewel! I'm Raphael Salazar. :)

She replied:

Oh! Nice meeting you Raphael! I hope we can be great friends! :D

I replied:

Yes I hope so! :)

And from that day on, from strangers to text mates,

From text mates to friends,

From friends to best friends,

And from best friends to lovers...

and from lovers to in-a-relationship.

Our call sign was "Babe"

We always wanted to meet up and see each other however, we always end up failing.

We wanted to check out each other's Facebook accounts but our hectic schedule ends up consuming most of our free time.

Little do we know that we shall meet in an unexpected way.

It was a gloomy day for me. My mother called me up to come into our family reunion. I really didn't want to come because I am not a very sociable person.
