It never really crossed my mind to recall those memories back in high school. The presence of you was widely known among our peers. I may be quite ignorant sometimes but not to the extent that I wasn't aware of the news when you first came to our school. After all, I'm an extremely curious person. All the more curious when I found out that there were a couple of girls switching over to this school of mine for 5 good years. Ah.... Girls, any guy would do stupid things for them.

One fine day I went over to another classroom just to meet up with some friends. Usual stuff to do when the teachers were not in class. Standing among my friends talking here, my eyes were wandering elsewhere. Curious. Never really had a proper look at the new girl. Wonder what is she like. Indeed, back then you were just another female student in school whom I never really bother to befriend with. Not saying that you might be a dull or an ordinary person just by a look on the outside. I'm a person who firmly believes that each and everyone is special in his or her own ways.

A short and simple 'hello' was greeted. No significant first impression was felt back then. You seemed to be a nice person. But that was all I could feel the first time we saw each other eye to eye. Other than that, I didn't know anything more. Not even where you live, how you go to school or even your full name. The one single thing I only knew at that moment was your former school. That's it. Of course I didn't ASK, so I didn't know much. What I knew was only as much as the rumours can spread. I got to know a bit more about yourself thru friends. Some close friends of mine who had more opportunities to hang out with you and know you a lot further. But I was occupied with my own circle of friends. During the schooling days, it was only classes, tuitions and games with friends. Well, as far as I'm concerned that is. Never really had the intention of starting a relationship with anyone, let alone a steady one. But I'm not denying that getting to know new and more girls was not enjoyable. I don't mean that you were unattractive as well. Some girls tend to come out of school looking far more attractive. A trend or nature, I do not comprehend. But it doesn't really apply to everyone though.

I'm glad for you that you came out of school looking more vibrant. A likeable face with a decent yet alluring smile. That's probably one of the main things people enjoy your company. Was it just me? Was I the only one enjoying the silly and amusing nonsense coming out from your mouth? I guess not. I thought there was a feeling inside me about you at that time. Maybe it was just me being the 99% listener, with hardly any feedback whatsoever. What I was sure of, is that I didn't really expect to be able to give a peck on the forehead down to your cheeks like now.

Who would have thought that a girl from high school that I hardly knew back then would have a significant influence on my thoughts today? Looking back, I find it hard to explain why it has to be you. Roughly 5 to 6 years after finishing high school, things start to shape up. Beyond my wildest imagination. But as months went by, whatever that happened as far as we are concerned, ups and downs, this pleasant chapter in my life has been a memorable one for me. The script of this chapter is still keeping me on the edge of my seat. It has come to this. To the point where the outcome keeps me in suspense. I am simply in awe of what has become until now.

But nonetheless, I'm very, very glad that it happened.
