Crush Diary

Diary #9

(Girl's)

Dear Diary,

As soon as the quiz master signaled us 'GO,' I immediately wrote down my answer. This was the last question and if I'd get wrong with this, I would face a clencher round with my long-time rival. He already had a one mistake so I need to answer this right to avoid another round. Gladly, the question was just answerable by YES or NO but it's not as easy as it was. The time ended and we then raised our slit boards.

The moment my name was announced as the champion, every students from our school who've witnessed the intense competition shouted in victory. But there's this familiar voice that was louder than the rest. I looked for the direction where that voice came from, and there I saw him grinning so wide while holding a big banner with my name on it.

2 months ago, it was such a big revelation when he admitted to the whole campus that he's currently courting me. It was like a bomb dropped off and caused explosion that resulted for students to be blown away.

I waved at him and he waved back, still smiling from ear to ear. I guessed this was the right time. I won and thus, I'd also want to share to him the slam of my victory. I gulped. I raised my slit board, my answer earlier to the last question was still written on it. It's a big YES, and yes I wanted us to be officially together.

It took him less than a minute to realize what I was trying to convey. He pointed me and his self, still dumbfounded and blinking so many times. I nodded at his hand movement and then his friends started to push him until he finally stood in front of me. Nervousness was visible on his face but the glint of happiness was sparkling on his eyes. I opened my arms for a hug but he first stared at me as if I was the first thing he saw after he drank a love spell.

"I-- I love you... so darn much." He uttered which made me feel astounded. He then hugged me back. And wow, it felt like I really belong inside his arms. If felt like home. But what I didn't know... I was just a trespasser all along.

We were so opposite like the moon and the sun but there's an eclipse anyway. We happened to be different but when our hearts collided, just like an eclipse, all got awed and mesmerized. But really, no matter how beautiful an eclipse is... it still brought danger.

(Boy's)

Dear Diary,

Before, I was just looking at her from afar, getting crazy of just wanting to be the books who were always in her arms. But now, I could finally look closely at her and be inside in her arms anytime I want. After all the years of secretly admiring her, damn, she's now finally my girlfriend. GIRLFRIEND! She was like a living trophy because I had just won her up. But nah, I know 'living trophy' has negative connotation, so I'd just compare her to a diamond. A diamond whom I had a hard time of uprooting and polishing her heart to trust me wholly. And now that her heart was finally harnessed, I promise I'd treasure her, more than a trophy, more than anything else in the world. I just love her so much, I didn't know how to elaborate it in words but all I knew was that, a thought of her leaving me could really damage my soul.

We were so opposite but it didn't hinder our love for each other. She even made a simple poem about us in which I read repeatedly.

....
"He's an extrovert, very outgoing and wants to wander and explore
While I'm an introvert, bookish person, rarely glance at the door

He's an athlete, fitness-freak, always dribbling the ball
While I always facing my book, just waiting for his call

He's the buddy of all, easy to approach and to be friend with
While I'm the shy one, seems snob, friends are ones I often need

He's very expressive, naughty, always playful with my hair
While I'm not that very showy, but boy I secretly care

His name after the phrases 'I love you' is perhaps the best line in my poetry
We're both wordy, me into paper, him on the verbal aspect yet we're still in symmetry

He's the content I would not get bored of writing though
Even if we're totally opposite, like a villain and a foe

I may not as cheerful as him, but I'm silently and heartily cheering him in everything
And when he gets stunned at my sudden words and actions, I love how we end up kissing

I may not as lively as him, but I give life through words and pen
He's at my words spicing up my poetries, hence he's my life and my den"
....

As usual, the news that we're now officially together spread throughout the campus. Rumors about us seemed to be a big deal because we're one of those students who were being looked up by many.

"What if you'll find someone whom you love more than me?" She asked out of nowhere. She seemed not in herself these past few days but she just reasoned out she was busy making accomplishment reports and speeches.

"If ever I'll find that someone---" I stopped when I noticed her stilled. She seemed not ready to hear my answer but I continued anyway.

"Well, I'm sure I can't find someone whom I love more than you... but if ever, then I'll tell that girl that her mom was my first love before her." I said, half daydreaming. She smiled at my statement. Good, that's a better view.

I really thanked destiny for letting our path crossed. But... I think we were spoiled by it too much because it's starting to hate us. LITERALLY. Worse, I didn't expect our story would turn upside down.
