The Day That We Met (One Shot)

The Day That We Met

Its the 6th of July

The Day That We Met. ..

That must be the most memorable day for me. The moment that I saw you walk inside the four walls of our classroom is still so clear in my memory. You were a transfer student back then. You say beside me and I don't even know why because there is still a lot of vacant seats available. You asked my name and I answered you by saying "It's Ellen" then you laughed and I was there sitting and staring at you and wondering why...

And then you said "Hi Ellen, my name's Allen" and then I chuckled by realizing how our names can sound so similar.

Then we became friends--real good friends. We'll eat together at the cafeteria. We will order our favorite foods. We will laugh on our own stories. We were there for each other through thick and thins. We are each others shoulders when we're sad and lonely.

For you, we are good friends. But for me it's a different case. For me, we can never be platonic. I smiled bitterly and just accepted that you can only see me as a friend. At least were friends right? At least I still have the little space in your life that you could offer.

One day we're on this little program in school, you're staring at the most popular girl on the campus, Dianne. She looks so lovely gracing the whole auditorium with her catwalk. Every one was screaming for her to win the pageant and you were there acting like you've been loving her since day 1.

I was so quiet that time because I was so jealous but I know I couldn't tell you. I should know my limits and where should I be. But I can't just keep my mouth shut. The words came out of my mouth like a wild fire. When will I even learn how to shut up?

"Isn't she really gorgeous with her long gown? No wonder she's the most popular girl in school. You must've been too starstrucked by her beauty huh?? " I laughed a bit to suppress my shaking voice. I didn't mean it to be sarcastic. But I guess it just happened to turn out that way.

"Yep. But I think you're better than anyone else in that pageant" and that made me speechless even more. I can't even move. That was so mind blowing that I dunno how to react and what to say. It was the best yet the most shocking thing that you said. I don't even know if I am suppose to believe you. I'm not dumb but it just felt so magical.

Then you pulled me in and gave me the kiss that I never expected. I couldn't breathe. I started feeling the butterflies in my stomach that I haven't experienced with anyone before.

No one until you.

All the feelings that i read from the novels that I've been reading for my whole life is happening to me now.

"I was literally spacing out the whole time while we're watching that little program while thinking of ways of how should I say this but, the day that we first met I know we can't be platonic." That made me nervous but happy, and at the same time scared. Scared that everything will just vanish because this just feels like a dream.

" I know I just can't treat you as a friend. From all the days that we spent together. I know I want for something more than this. I'm sorry that I'm crossing the line right now but I just want you to know that I think I'm in love with you. I know that this will shock you. And it will perhaps make everything messy but to hell with that. I'm tired of hiding. It's killing me every single day. " You said that while looking straight into my eyes and I can't help but feel how sincere you are on all the words that you said.

And I don't know what's gotten into me but I ran away. I left you there because I don't know, I think everythings happening too fast. I think everything is still a blur and I wanna think about all of these. I still need this to sink in and I still need to digest everything. I still need to organize my thoughts and think about the possibilities.
