First and foremost thank you for our friendship and these are the things that I canât say in front of you and I also donât have the guts. I write this letter because someday I know our memories will turn to black and white, you and I will meet someone new.Â
Did you remember our Grade 5 years, there we saw each other for the first time. We were invited to a workshop wherein the top 5 students of each school were there to attend. I canât remember it clearly but I knew you were there and you even became an officer and on the top 3 i guess.
It was January 2012 when you first caught my attention, grade 6 to be exact we went on a regional competition and we rode on the same bus from Tagaytay heading to Manila because we were the representatives of our city. I was sitting on the last row of the bus and there you are in front sitting and chitchatting with your classmates it was raining hard that time. One of my classmates said âTingin ka ba sa harap, makikita mo yung  crush ni K----â I knew that was a joke, but then I've look on your side but instead of finding that guy I have found the nerdy guy with the glasses. Â
When we were taking the entrance exam I saw you again, you were with the two guys and a teacher (not sure) I guess the guys were C and P. We passed the test and went on the same school and luckily we have the same curriculum STE but we were not in the same section. My elementary best friend was your classmate, so that was the time we started to hang out and got close with each other. I donât know whatâs with you but one time I was on my way home sitting on the back ride you keep on running in my mind, it wasnât serious that time so I confess to you. I thought youâre going to hate and got awkward to me, but I was wrong I have gotten closer to you compared to my classmates. When we were going home we went to the talipapa with your classmates and my best friend after that we all separate our ways, I am heading to Valencia and youâre heading to your Motherâs classroom but I saw you there you were looking between the windows.Â
I grew up in a squatters area for 8 years, so we visited that area (I canât remember clearly) with our common friends. You didnât hate me thatâs why I gave you a friendship letter bracelet with your name engraved on it and you even wore it and thank me for that.Â
On our second year, we became classmates. I thought I donât have a crush on you anymore but we became closer. As each day pass by, I got to know you more and your impatient side. One day when we were about to went home you put some pancake mix on my face. Deja vu it is, when I rode the multicab, you keep running in my head again and I canât contain my feels anymore, I admitted and asked myself âHow do I uncrush youâ? When my mother bought us a new tab, that was the time I got addicted to facebook and every time you would appear on my news feed I automatically hit the like button and always look at the green circle beside your name on the right side. One time we ate a mais con yelo and I posted â37.4 degree celsius lubayan mo ko. -feeling sickâ you commented âYan kasi dapat hindi ka na kumainâ then our convo goes on and I have met your caring side.
We would always went to the canteen together and ate something. When I havenât eaten lunch yet because I just went there and stay with our classmates because Iâm not hungry but suddenly I became hungry and you came to us and said âKumain ka na, kakain ka, kasi kung hindi ka kakain hindi rin ako kakainâ I felt guilty so I decided to eat. You were so sweet, you havenât noticed it, thatâs why A, A, P, W, M, M, E, L, L, D, C were also into you lol I have so many rivals huh. Coincidentally, we always became groupmates we both jokingly said to each other âNasasawa na ako sayoâ. The best grouping we had was the calendar making because we both love photoshop and hunger games so we really cooperated. One more thing is we have the same hobbies and favorites. Weâre always assigned if thereâs a project related to photoshop like the photo booth.
Weâve reached our third year of being a high school student. More girls got attracted to you. Damn, I donât why I donât feel insecure about the other girls even though I am not that pretty. Maybe because of our friendship or maybe because I think I am a good girl. hahaha kidding...
