I arrived at school 30 minutes before the time. Its monday, my most favorite day of all the days. (Irony) But why am I nervous all of sudden? Oh yes, I remember.
The Night Before
HIM: I'll wait for you tomorrow at the canteen. I wanted us to walk together going to the room. I have something to say.
ME: Okay, I'd love that. But what is it that you'd have to tell it personally?
HIM: Just wait for tomorrow. Goodnight!
ME: Okay, if that's what you say. Same here! :)

Macey's POV
I wonder what's he gonna say? I'm excited but nervous. I'm feeling like a contestant in some beauty contest. (Kidding) Anyways, Francis and Me have been bestfriends for a couple of months now. I would like to emphasize that I am so much delighted for having him. Why? I say why not. He is someone with a genuine personality and honest innate feelings. A gentleman with high regards on education. He's actually our consistent 1st honor. Until now, I am still puzzled as to why he asked me to be his bestfriend among all the other girls. Modesty aside, I'm friendly and out-going. Oh, did I forget Outrageous? Yeah, that's me, Macey. One more thing, I think my feelings towards him got up to the next level. He showed me signs but I'm afraid to admit it because I might have misconceptions and that might ruin our friendship. I have high hopes for tomorrow, How I wish he really feels the same way. Fingers crossed!
Francis' POV
I have liked this girl since that day. I felt her sincerity and non-fading care for other people. A funny girl who always smiled and cried for some reason. I actually asked her to be my bestfriend, this way, I could say what I am feeling towards her now. I like her, no. I mean, I love her. And tomorrow's the time. The right time. I will brace myself.

Francis: Macey! Here. (I raised my right hand, just enough for her to see)
Me: Hello France. Lets go? (I smiled, hiding my nervousness)
Francis: After you :)
Francis and I started to walk in the dusty pathways along the 4th year classrooms. A few students were around because its still early. By the way, Francis and I are both commuters but lucky for Francis because he lives in the city.
Macey: So what it is that you're gonna tell me? (Smiling)
Francis: Mace, I-I... (Looking the other way around)
Francis' actions are quite odd today.
Macey: You? You what? (Im excited! Say it! :D)
Francis: Okay, listen carefully because I'm only gonna say it once. (Shaking?)
Macey: Okay then, I'm up. (Please say you like me. Please!)
Short silence covered the place together with the breeze of the cold air.
Francis: Mace?
Macey: Yes? Say it already France! (Say it! Now! :D)
Francis: I Love You. (Smiling)
Chills got up to my head. He said he loves me! Me! Can you believe it? Yeeeees! Way to go Macey. If only he knows whats on my mind right now. (Inhale Exhale) I composed myself and talked seriously.
Macey: I know, and
I Love You too!
We both smiled, with sparkles on our eyes. A day we both said those three words for the first time.
END.
