That day was Wednesday and I forgot my Physical Education uniform at home. At lunch, I needed to go back home to get my uniform. It takes nine minutes from my school to my house and that would be on foot. So, I went home and came back. In Physical Education (P.E.) class, we had to run around the quadrangle for a given time. We will be combined with Section Honesty because their P.E. teacher was not feeling well.
And that historical event, the combining of the two class sections, led to the changes of my top three crushes. I saw the white-skinned, youthful-looking, tall, handsome Todd. I asked my classmate, Clarisse, to introduce me to him since I saw that she said hello to him. It happened. I met him and found out that Clarisse, Lippy, and he had the same family name. They were not related; just they had the same family names. (heart heart) I bought Clarisse a candy. So amazing! Thank you Clarisse. (suspenseful smile)
As I continued talking to Todd, I can smell his soapy odor. It wasn’t bad. In fact, the smell was like soap mixed with perfume. (Oh! I suddenly remember the smell.) (heart heart) I suddenly remembered Lippy’s fragrance. (Hahaha-heart heart)
Speaking of Lippy, he was not in the school anymore. He stopped schooling. Perhaps he became an out-of-school youth. I saw him once on the stairs of a mall once. He asked for five pesos. He was kinda waiting for someone. I didn't know exactly. (I suddenly miss him. I tried to find him on social networking sites, but to no avail.)
There are still times that I try to dial his telephone number...but it seems it's not available anymore. I have memories with him, but...since I can't find him...it seems that I never met him...seems that he never existed. Have you experienced this? Trying to find someone from your past but that person just...just...disappeared?
