Hi, I'm Mary. I just turned 17 last month. Don't mind asking what I look like, my mom is the only one who appreciates it. But anyway... I'm a small person. I have small eyes, feet and hands. I also lack height. I'm always mistaken to be a gradeschooler, the truth is I am a 2nd year college student. So any ways, enough about me. Here is the story about my unrequited love towards my senior.
Everything started with a single glimpse, he was tall and dark, and a bit skinny actually, yet there was something beautiful about him. His looks was of a typical Filpino yet so charming. His smile makes my heart skip a beat. He was simply breath taking. I was one of the hundreds of spectators in a pageant held in our school. He was one of the male contestants. Clarenz is his name, or is it? I can't hear clearly through the loud cheers of the other girls, who obviously admires him too. Throughout the pageant, all I did was stare at him, not minding the other competitors. This Being seemed to trick my time consiousness. I was only able to break through the trance that I was caught in after the announcing of winners. He was crowned 1st runner up. The contestants made their final waves to the audience. I saw his eyes linger on me for a while. I may have imagined it but this ended my night with a smile.
Since that night, I became overly aware of his presence. My heart turns wild on his sight! I turn pale and seem to loose my tounge. Everyday I yearn to see his glorious face, and everyday, I fulfill this yearning. My friends even called me a stalker. I may know his entire schedule and know his exact location in the exact time, but I am not a stalker. Maybe an overly attached admirer, but deffinitely not a stalker!
Another dreamyday began. Another day of unknown surprises.
My friends and I were at our usual leisure place. Ecah, one of my best friends, teased me will all her might. It was inevitable for my prince was only two seats away from us. At the time, I was reading a novel. Ecah shook my body. Then, something happened fast. The book slipped my slippery grip and skidded through the floor landing infront of HIM!!! I instanteneously panicked! I swear my heart rate doubled. Then something worse came next. He saw the book and picked it up. Now, my heart is at its toll. If my blood can only pack into my face alone, it may have done so. I was redder that a tomatoe. He wiped the dust off my book with his own hankerchief then stretched out his long arms to hand me my book. I can't see nor hear him clearly for everything seemed so fuzzy.
The next thing I knew was that I was staring on the white ceiling of the infirmary. I heard movements from my left that indicated that I was not alone. A face stuck infront on me after I groaned. My vision was not that clear at the time, it took me a while to focus my eyes on the peekers face. It was Erica. She had an over excited look in her eyes. I immidiately recalled what happened before I lost my consciousness and asked my friends what happened after that. They said that my crush carried me to the infirmary and that his name was not Clarenz but Lawrenz. When they were done telling me what happened, the only thing I was able to say was "Calm me PLEASE".
Lawrenz turned out to have a girlfriend from the neighboring university and is planning to get married after graduation. This crushed my heart. Worse is, Erica said that Lawrenz knew that I have loved him for a long time. She said that Lawrenz saw me staring at him numerous times.
And this is my first love story in my college life.
