As I was listening to the radio, I got myself to thinking, "How nice is it to be in love?" And then, as if teasing me, a song played saying, "Give me the gift of love". My goodness... XP <sigh> I haven't exactly felt it. I mean, I must have but didn't know. I have had crushes, tons of 'em actually. But none ever got to more than that. I dreamed of being in love; wanted to be one of those heroines of books drowned with sweet nothings. But then I kept thinking <THINKING... not exactly the kind of thing you need to get head over heels in love>. As a wise man once said, "It is but natural to fall in love; but YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER MANY FACTORS BEFORE YOU FINALLY SUBMIT TO THE FALL." At times, I wish I didn't think much, didn't consider much-that way things would have been much easier. But it only led me to think again, "That's dumb! You don't think much nor is it that you're being highly critical. You just have priorities." In my heart, I know how much it wants to be romantically in love. Feel those butterflies in the stomach, get goose bumps, and see fireworks and all that. It would really be wonderful and, most certainly, magical to always hear love songs in the air <not unless I've gone completely mad>, it's just that there are things FAR MORE IMPORTANT than being swept off my feet, my breath taken away and my world going slow mo. Is this what it's like to be a hopeless romantic and simply hopeless in all things in between?

DANIEL: Hey man! What's up?

CHRISTOPHER: Aaah.. Hey... <secretly puts the letter in his pocket>

DANIEL: It's the first day of school and you're in the library...? There aren't even any assignments yet! <Sits beside Christopher>

CHRISTOPHER: Ah, I was just readin'.

DANIEL: Shut up, <tugs on him lightly> you don't read...

CHRISTOPHER: Hey, you know anyone by the name Marion?

DANIEL: Sure don't. Why?

CHRISTOPHER: Oh. Nothin'. My sis asked me if I knew one. Nothing important.

DANIEL: Ei, I get to be with ALiza in 4D. <really happy and doing nods> You?

CHRISTOPHER: Nah... I'm stuck in 4A.

DANIEL: Ha, typical you. Always at the top class. See you later then. <puts his left arm on Chris' left shoulder and pats it>

CHRISTOPHER: Catch up with you later. <Does a salute> 

When he saw Daniel go out the door, he immediately took out the letter and reread it.

Who could you be? Man, this so not me... How can I be bothered by something as little as this... XP But I do feel this is something special. But, HOW? -- -- -- -- -- --

???: Ha! That's dumb and stupid! Special?! [0.o] How can you not have seen through it?? <talking soooo loudly to a girl by the corridors>

This catches Chris' attention. And my, if you could see the disgust in his face when he saw who it was making a scene, that girl from last year  

who got into so many trouble. She got suspended for a lot of reason. Brought alcohol inside school, punched a professor, the list goes on. He hated her. He  

hated girls like her. And when he first saw her last year, he said, "What's with all the make up??" 'Cause you see, (definitely not physically speaking so just imagine it), she wore all these black thing from H to T [head to toe]. Very black hair, black eye liners, dark (not black) lipstick, black necklace (the one that hugs the neck), and just black! (Good thing she had pale white skin or else you could have seen a real-life-materialized shadow)

???: I dunno I just---

???: Being in a club, when a guy talks to you, expect him to just want to fool around. You idiot!
