it was a day unlike any days of my life. although it started as though it was another first day of school. i have brought my favorite book along with me since usually the first days of school provide students more leisure time than the succeeding days. sitting in the company of my friends, i found comfort in reading. i’m not the chattering type back then and maybe even now. as i was flipping through the next page of the book, a person opened the door in front of the class. thinking that the one who entered was the professor, i looked up and closed my book. and there was he, with a breeze of charm and good looks along with him. he seemed arrogant yet kind at the same time. our eyes met just for a millisecond and i glanced back to my book. and guess where he sat. yes. right next to me.

i didn’t know how i looked, hopefully not bad and not covered in drool. although i actually have never thought of asking myself this question until now. i usually am not the vain-type or a person who would even care about my personal looks. after all i only comb once a day and that’s after i take a bath. and i don’t even blowdry my hair. just a realization. anyway, back to the unforgettable day and hopefully i looked decent enough that day.

i remembered he had been listening to a walkman/cd/mp3 player since ipods are not yet too popular that time. and i can’t concentrate in my reading, good thing that our professor finally had arrived. she has a motherly aura when she came in so my day was not trembled by any misfortunes. she asked us to get a paper and write some personal information. this simple gesture of her presented me with one of the coolest oppurtunities i have had in my life. the guy slightly turned his head and leaned a bit to ask something about the task. when i have noticed that he was facing me, my heart beat faster. when he spoke and when i realized that he was asking a question, my mind was racing on how i would answer this simple query. so i then replied “yes” after i have no idea how long but it seemed long at least to me. was that the most difficult word to say? i guess when you’re meeting your first-crush-at-first-sight it is.
