It was a fine day. The weather was good. It was a nice day for new things and fresh start. It was a perfect day to start the school year of 2003.
I can still remember the time that you first caught my attention. I was in the middle of choosing between red and green pen nang may biglang isang batang lalake ang umiyak sa bandang kanan ko.
Isang bully na bata na ayaw tumigil sa pagpindot ng ilaw ng bag nya ang nag-paiyak sa kanya. Natatandaan ko pa yung expression ng mukha mo habang pinapanuod mong umiyak yung katabi mo. That time I told myself not to talk to you. Na- sense ko kasi na sakit sa ulo ang tulad mo.
I tried to avoid you. Pag-nakikita ko na malapit ka na sa pwesto ko lumalayo na 'ko kaagad. Pero dahil sa pagiging obvious ko siguro mas napansin mo ako.
If only you knew how fast and loud my heart pounds that time. Grabe, the moment I saw your smile sakin sobrang natakot ako. It feels like nahuli mo akong may ginagawang masama. Para akong tanga na nag-panic nang makita kong palapit ka. I tried to run away pero di ko nagawa dahil sa mga nakaharang na classmates natin sa daan.
Akala ko talaga ibubuhos mo sa akin yung orange juice mo. Well, OA talaga ako pero I didn't expect kasi na gusto mo lang palang makipag habulan sa akin while screaming na anak ako ng devil.
That's how we started. Young, innocent and fools. Me being the paranoid one and you being the cause of my paranoia. I made a lot of bad impressions about you. Nevertheless, I never thought that you will remove and replace those bad impressions with good ones.
First Regret: I should've been less obvious that time. Sana di ko nakuha yung attention mo. Stupid me for being too much obvious.
