Are you happy when the class is finally over? Because I am! Before, it was the thought of going home that made me excited when the bell rang. Just another ordinary day, just another ordinary walk. Pero nagbago ang lahat no'ng napansin kita. Matangkad. Maputi. 'Yong may ngiting parang effortless pero nakakakilig. Simula noon, may kung anong nabago sa araw ko. Now, I look forward to that one moment in my day---when the world quiets down, and the halls begin to empty. Because that's when I see you. Even just a glimpse. Even if we don't talk. Even if you don't know me yet. It's enough. Because my heart started beating a little faster... Every day... After class. *** Disclaimer: Hi! It's me, Avelania Esmé. Sinulat ko 'to when I was just 16 years old, so you might come across a few scenes that feel a little cheesy or overly sentimental. I hope you can embrace the youthful heart behind it.
