"love is choosing each other-always"

There's this transferee guy---Archie Sev Martinez. He was quiet, always talking to just one guy, like he built walls around himself. And the first time I laid eyes on him... I knew. That day, my heart chose him without even asking for permission. I tried to get close to him, nagpapapansin during class, stealing glances, hoping for even the smallest smile. Pero most of the time, he just ignored me---like I was invisible.

Then life hit me hard. My dad got sick, and after he lost his job, our family started struggling. Money was tight, and I had no choice but to find a job. One night, habang pauwi ako, I saw him---Archie---standing at a distance, just quietly watching me. He walked up to me and asked if he could walk me home; I said yes.

And that simple yes... changed everything.

That night, without even realizing it, he started becoming my favorite person---the man who made the world a little less cruel, a little more bearable.

I, Allison Avila, can't believe I've fallen in love with someone who barely noticed me at first, yet somehow became the person I look for in every crowded room.

My safe place, my unexpected home.
