"It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet thought Which then turned into a quiet word....."

Days seemed to be months. Hours seemed to be days.
Tons of things to accomplish, these ate up my time almost everyday.
When I get a chance, I would still think of her, Sophie. Her perfect eyes, soft cherry lips, her sweer smile, I have considered myself lucky to have her. Anyway, what would that almost perfect lady be doing with an average timid guy like me? This made me miss her more.
Adjusting in the new environment I'm in was not an issue then, adjusting without her was. It felt like something was missing the whole time. If it was not that we shared most of the time together as classmates the previous school year, things would not be as hard as this. We were actually still at the same school but our schedule simply would not meet. We were both occupied by the year's workload.
Patience definitely has fruits.
I was really excited that afternoon. Finally, our time had come. My chance to spend quality time with her. Hours of at least not satisfying myself through repeatedly reading her text messages. Since I've done ahead all of the things i need to do, immediately after class, I've packed my things and headed toward her room.
Seeing her, there was this sudden rush that gradually became stronger as I drew closer. It was the first moment in my life where I was full of emotions yet I'm not sure what to do.
"I miss you", I said as gently kissed her cheeks and turned into hugging her.
"I miss you more" she said as she spreads her arms around my body responding tightly to my hug.
Time Froze. Though words were not heard that time, i felt her message. It was like telling a person how hurt you were buy piercing through their skins. This is what I longed for, Us, Just like how we were before.
Just as i wish time would be longer. It ran out fast. We resorted into updating each other. Stories. We also saw our former classmates then. a reunion as they say.

"Rinnnnnggggggggg!" the school bell.
"Guess that means I should be going,."
"I hope we can do this more often" she said while holding my hands and kissing my cheeks.
"Let's try what we can" walking away.
"I love you" waving her right hand to say goodbye
"I love you too"..

That afternoon was a bit harsh for me. I exactly don't know what to feel. Should I be thankful of at least having a chance to spend time with her or should I be sad because we were then only doing it by chance?
Confused but yet happy, I was leaving the school, when I saw someone familiar. I was sure it was her. That bright brown eyes, perfectly laid uniform and that ogre-sized bag, I can't be wrong that's Tihn, our class president.
"Hi! You're my classmate right?" I said as I tried to wear a smile (I'm really not good in making friends)
"Yeah, I'm Tihn, the class president"
"Aren't you going home? It's getting late now" I said, getting something from my bag, keeping myself from being awkward.
"I still have things to do, Maybe later"
"Looks like I'll be heading first, By the way, thanks for your letter, here's my reply." giving her a small sheet of paper.
"Oh, thanks! Bye then" putting the sheet of paper inside her bag, waving goodbye as i was walking away.
"Okay take care, Bye..."
As i head home, I thought to myself, having friends would help me cope up with this adjustment. It's funny though i had finished walking thinking, "Did i came up with the proper wording?".....
