The One That Got Away? Chapter 2 - Is this even real?

From where we left off, she and me got even closer than ever after a while. Although it bugged me that she is my type and she has a boyfriend, I thought I will just hang out as normal.

Soon, the gang began splitting up with her (call her E) , another girl (let's just call her M) joined in with me while the other girl (call her A) went off with the other dude (call him B).

Although we were supposed to be a band of 3, M always had excuses skipping our lunch meetings and so on, leaving only E and me for lunch all the time. It felt somewhat relaxing and awkward that E and me can hang out so carefree. Even stranger, she had an emotional wall built up around her that people around felt uncomfortable communicating with her. Somehow she could really disable that wall pretty well in front of me.

On one occasion where we were supposed to have a group study time, M was late. E and me were together in one of the study rooms. Suddenly E's faced changed as she started telling me a story of her past about how she ended up here after her Form 6. It was something none of her friends knew but she decided to let it all out to me. Surprised and puzzled I tried to console her and pull her out from the darkness that I felt within her.

After a while, a chain of messages started where we text on MSN each day from morning till night. Yeah, and I wonder what did I do my whole life. MSN then led to daily morning phone calls at around 9am almost every week day to ask me simple stuffs that I had to repeat over and over. People might think she is annoying but I find her cute.

And so....

Is she even showing signs?

The One That Got Away? Chapter 1 - Is she even the one?

Everything happened 8 years ago. Until today, I still remember everything like it's in the back of my head. 

I still remember the day I met her. It was an ordinary day but it was so special that I still remember it clearly. She wasn't someone that is easily noticeable but when I met her with her friends around, I knew she was going to be special. 

Her eyes with those spectacles were just perfect and the bucktooths in front were somehow making her look cuter than ever. 

All went down the drain when I found out she has a boyfriend. I told myself to never get too close to her as I do not want to be the destroyer of relationships. 

Fate however had other plans. Due to character compatibility and everything working the magic on us, we both became slowly closer to each other. 

The first memorable thing I remember was how she let her guard down on me, allowing me to slowly break her 'wall'. It was a surprise to me at first that she actually placed her palms on my shoulders without even happening to other of her friends that she knew longer. 

That is the beginning of many of the beautiful memories I have with her which even-ed out my life.
