I was victim of love. Well, everyone in this world is going to be- even those who say they aren't, because eventually, they will be.

I was never really a fan of happy endings, destiny, undying love and such.. But i started hoping for them when i fell for you.

I never really imagined myself smiling because of a guy.. But one day, i saw my face glow with just a simple thought of your dimples.

I never really cared on how i look like.. But the fact that i have been staring at my reflection for too long is new.

I never really thought that i will know how it feels like to fall.. But i did when i felt that electrifying sensation when you held my wrist.

"JACKIE! SNAP OUT OF YOUR THOUGHTS, WILL YOU?!" A voice screamed as it was followed by a snap. I blinked then i frowned. It was Sancho.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?"

He frowned. "Can't you walk any faster, Jack?! The movie will start any minute!" I laughed at his rage. He pulled my wrist and for a moment, i stared at it. How many times has this scene happened? Him, pulling me by the wrist and me laughing as i jog behind him.

But i will never ever forget that scene where i felt electricity from his hand and i heard my own heart skip a beat. I will never forget how that simple pull affected my whole world.

I was still laughing and well, Sancho was still frowning as he handed our tickets to the person in-charge. We're watching a movie, together, just the both of us. But mind you, we are not in a relationship. I am a victim of that i-fell-for-my-bestfriend-but-he's-blind story. Sad, right?

We swiftly went inside the cinema and easily found a seat. I sat down as i pulled the homemade popcorn from my bag, Sancho pulling out two bottles of soda we bought from the supermarket. We ate as we watched the movie begin.

The movie was The Fault in Our Stars. It was in Gus' pre-funeral when i started crying and it was then when i felt an arm around me, comforting me. I knew it was Sancho. I felt his hand push my head to rest on his shoulders. I cried harder. We were best friends. J and S. Oh, how i hope it was more than but.. Sancho really just can't appreciate what i feel. He must be oblivious about it, he doesn't show signs that he noticed my feelings.

It was prom and Sancho was obviously my date. No one really bothered to ask me because according to my friends-well of course, i have friends besides him- he didn't allow any guy to ask me out. I flushed with the thought, i mean, for that moment he sounded like a boyfriend-an ideal guy. But i immediately erased the idea. I dont want to assume, no.

I shook my head. What is wrong with you, Marga Jacklyn? Now that there's this possibility that he's finally noticed you, you're holding back?! Wow.

"Jackie, shall we?" He asked as he bent over. Left arm infront, right arm behind. I chuckled at his gesture.

"Of course." I replied as i offered a hand, him taking it. We were both smiling as we entered the dance floor.

'Cause all of me..

Loves all of you..

Love your curves and all your edges..

All your perfect imperfections..'

I chuckled at how gay the whole scene is. A corny song and a girl who's head over heels for the guy whom she's dancing with.

"Jackie.." He whispered to my ear as he hugged me. "Please promise me.."

I pulled away from the hug and faced him, we were still in that dancing position though. "Anything, Sancho."

"Please don't love anyone else, Jackie." I creased my eyebrows at his statement.

"What?"

"I love you so much.." My eyes widened at that. It sounded so true.. I cant help but chuckle.

"Well, i love you too. Sancho, you're my bestfriend." I replied jokingly.

He moved his head, side to side. "I love you, Jackie." He spoke again. "I want to be with you.. But college is on its way.. Please Jackie.. Promise me, that after this.. After college.. If we fall again.."

He didn't finish speaking. I didn't let him. I stopped him by putting my index finger on his lips as i closed my eyes. "I love you too, okay? I love you so much." I raised my head and faced him, eye to eye. His eyes were beautiful, but they were begging me to promise him back. "And i promise you Sancho. I promise."

You might ask, how do you fall again for the same person? Do i have to stop loving him and fall for him again? Well, sorry to burst your bubble but it's not like that. Falling again doesn't mean you stop loving the person for a while, it means falling for him the second time. It means falling harder, it means that you're falling deeper and your feelings are stronger. Falling again means smiling endlessly because of him. Falling again means you accept each other fully and falling again means feeling so thankful for that electrifying sensation you felt in the scene where you made contact.

Now, guess who fulfilled their promises to each other.
