Suddenly...

History class started. Prof. Charles came with a huge somewhat antique world map. Then he started talking about everything from 19-forgotten. Then I saw myself looking at the Aegean Sea, eating at Greece, enjoying Paris, caving in Palawan, and...a finger just snapped in front of me. Daydream's over, back to reality with Prof's question "Who discovered America?". I was about to answer when the bell rang.

Classmates started to mock me asking stuffs like, "The hell, what were you thinking???". I just smirked, and told them it's not my first time with Prof. Charles.

As I was about to enter the classroom, our dean told me to visit her office at once. At the back of my mind, "As far as I can remember, I didn't do anything. I came in early for my class, I wore the prescribed uniform, I passed my Lab experiments. So why all of a sudden? Well, of course, except for my history class yesterday."

"I want you to know that I don't agree with the idea that you would be the class representative. But I'm pretty sure you'll take charge of the journal." She must be crazy. I didn't even know what's going on.

"To tell you honestly Ma'am, I really don't know what you're talking about" as I scratched my neck.

"Larsen, right?"

"Yeah! But I'm not into school politics. So I don't care about your verdict."

"Anyway. Before I let you leave my office, I want you to look for someone. I want her to change her current schedule, but I can't seem to catch her. I want you to tell her that I need her in my office. Her name is Dyan Argos."

"Are you sure she's a sophomore? I mean, I don't think so Ma'am. I never saw a new face yet. Not unless she enrolled with one of our minor classes."

"Larsen?! Do you come in classes? Or just day dream the wholeday? Better get lost and I'll ask someone else to do this for me."

"Sounds great. So i'll go check on my next class now."

Dyan What? What is she thinking? I'm not a "Lost-and-Found booth". I've better catch up my last class.

On the phone...

"Hey Aries, do we have Physics today? I'm not sure someone's in"

"Prof. Deo would be late in class, so be back in an hour. But there's someone new in class, I bet she never left the room."

"You know what? I don't care. Besides, I still have to read that new botany book."

"Fine. If you wanna hang-out with us, we're at the bench."

Few Months Later.

Physics Lab.

Sh*t..i'm having a hard time solving this free fall problem. I forgot the whole formula. I just wanna escape this 4-hour class.

"Dude. I'm stuck."

"Isaac, it's midterm!" Aries poked me

"I thought it's multiple choice or what."

"See that girl on the opposite site of our table? She's good at this."

"No wonder the boys at the back are eyeing on her, I mean on her paper, haha" I joked.

"You don't know her? She's a transferee dude."

"Why is she wearing same uniform as ours?"

"Seriously?! You don't know her?"

"I just met her. Like, a while ago? You know what, just give me your paper."

"All papers in?" Prof. Deo stared at us.

Bench.

"I hate you. The dean will definitely call our attention." Aries blamed

"Thank you!" in a sarcastic way

..but the truth is, she never left my mind. How come I don't know her. She's cute. I mean not really. Well, I can't deny it, she's cute and she have those curves. It's just that she's wearing braces.

"Hey Isaac, meet Dyan" Aries introduced.

"Dyan. Dyan Argos" as she reached her hand.

"Hi. Uhmmm...we..we..well I'.." in shock, stuttered

"I know, Isaac Larsen. History class, daydreaming boy. I'm your seatmate."

"Whoah!" Aries interrupted. "I still have to fetch my girl, gotta leave you. So just text my dude" tapped my back and left

"So, seatmate huh?"

"Ahhha! I'm seating on the other side of the isle."

"How long? I mean, how come I never see you?" I smirked

"Are you crazy? You really don't recognize me?

"Yep. So this day marks it. Isaac, finally!" shookhand with her.

Yep! After that day. I felt new. I thought of getting to know her better but I don't know where to start. But it must be destiny. Another month passed, we got to know each other. I even shared some of my secrets with her, so did she. She became my bestfriend in an instant.

"What keeps you busy?" Dyan poked me

"Nahhh! An unknown asshole texted me. It's been weeks now."

"Let me handle that! Hand me your phone."

"Just don't mind it. And besides, i have private stuffs there, so NO!"

"I said give it to me" she took my phone in a blink

...and yeah she took charge of it, I stared at her, I felt an awkward feeling so I stopped.

Intramurals.

After the opening Parade

While waiting for our Department Profs, I was listening to Aries and the rest of the class, while reminiscing some class bloopers. Yes, It was quite funny, except for Dyan. She admitted that she was the "Unknown Asshole" who texted me for weeks. Then i ran into her, as I try to poke her. By that time, she, Dyan caught my attention, my heart's attention...

Then on, I started missing her. I feel the need that I have to see her. I cant live a day without her by my side. Though I know someone's in her heart now and all I can be is her bestfriend. I don't wanna lose her.

I never stopped liking her. Until the day I realized I was falling for her. And summer came.

I fetch her every after duty ( Summer Internship). Day after day. But ofcourse to her, it was for the sake of friendship.

Then another routine added up to our list. Fetch her, have dinner with her, then accompany her until she safely reach her dormitory.

Yep, that's everyday after my duty ( I was assigned away from her, so I have to travel just to fetch her on time). I often get scolded by my parents, 'coz I always get home late. But I don't even care.

After she completed her internship, she had this short vacation to the province. I know by that time, she'll meet that Mark. But I'm afraid to get rejected. I don't wanna be lost again. This is the first time I felt this. I haven't told her I like her yet. Where should I start? Should I let it pass? She'll be leaving tomorrow.

"So when will you be back?"

"3 weeks? a month? I don't know it depends on Auntie"

"Are you and Mark will be out on a date often?"

"I don't know with him. I just don't know what will happen"

"One thing is for sure, you'll miss me" I faked a smile

"Give me your phone. Let's change phone before I leave"

"Why?"

"Just give it."

And there you go...I never told her yet. I want to but i cant. I don't get it. Why did she took my phone? And now I have this girly phone with me.

That night when she's on her way home to the province, she texted me.

"Thank you for everything."

"What are you talking about"

"Thanks for making me feel that I'm special."

"I have to treat you like that, because you're really special."

"No one ever told me I'm special, just you."

"Are you kidding me? There's a lot of boys out there who's after you"

"I don't care. It's just that I'm happy with you."

"Maybe because I like you. So you better take good care of yourself."

"Me too, I'm not sure yet but I think I like you. Hope to see you soon."

WHAT???? Did I just told her I like her? I'm shaking. And she likes me back?

Everynight, everyday..we started to exchange sweet messages. It's like we have our own world while we are away. But I hope it wont change when she gets back.

First day of class. New Sem.

"Dude. Dad just came home from UK. He brought me a bunch of chocolates, so I'm sharing it to everyone." Gian handed the chocolates to everyone.

"Thanks! By the way, have you seen Dyan?"

"She was looking for you too. I saw her at the laboratory."

"So there you are!" I smiled "What are you doing?"

"Reading some stuffs. Got your part from Gian?"

"Yeah. I wanna share it with you. If it's okay."

"I opened mine so have a sit, let's eat this together."

My heart skipped a beat. Why is she acting so plain?

As I sat near her,our eyes met, I feel like electrified. It seems the time stopped. I was so close. Then she kissed me.

Yes! She kissed me slowly. I was still in a state of a shock that I ate the whole bar of chocolate. I feel like I'm floating.

"Why did you do that?"

"It is to let you know, let us know, that we are official."

I just had an instant girlfriend in a bestfriend.

From then on, we enjoyed each others company. Not until, the day she want to transfer to another dormitory.

It was new year. I helped her pack her things, and when things are done. We kissed before we left the place.

I took her things and placed it at the trunk of the car. She was so excited. I'm happy for her. By that time we are the graduating class.

While driving, we had an arguement. She met someone. I got jealous.

The last thing I heard from her was, "I'm happy I met you, I love you, now and forever."

And the last time I saw her, smiling at me as I took a glimpse at her coffin.

I love her. I hate her because she left me in an instant. But I really love her. I will never love anyone else like this. I will surely miss her.

I love her, now and forever.
