XHIEN'S POV
Years passed and that girl is still on my mind. Years had passed since the last time that I saw her. Things had been changed and the time is running out. I should've protected her back then. I should've run away with her. I should've never brought her to the place where the ritual will be. But I just realized these things when everything is too late. She was gone and I was left alone. When I was 15, I went to Korea and met Kris, Shin, and Lea. They are also wolves like me and her. Lone wolves who left their tribes to leave like normal humans. I befriend them and asked them to move with me to the Philippines for a better life. Away from the ritual, and away from the curse of the white wolf. But, what I didn't know is that the one who has the curse is in the Philippines.
That's how I saw her again, Momo is her name. The woman that I longed to see. The woman that I longed to protect. The woman who I let go when she needed me the most. I missed her. But, how can I protect someone who is unreachable for me? I mean, she doesn't know and she won't even believe that I am Lulu her best friend from the past. I have been thinking of many ways to talk to her but I haven't very successful until Kris told me to write her a letter. It's not a bad idea but I just hope it will work. I grabbed a pen and a paper from my locker and used the whole day to tried and think of perfect words to tell her what I feel and this is what I came up with.
"Paper, pencil, drawings, and words. These are the things that I need to prove my existence to you. This is me, the person you knew, and the person you just know. I haven't been around and I am sorry for that. I know there's a lot of questions that are left unanswered so here I am to answer them for you. All you need to do is believe me."
I could've thought of better words to express myself to her but I couldn't think of any. As I secretly put the letter in her locker, I saw her going in my direction when I realized, my locker is just beside hers. I looked around panicked thinking of what to do at this point when I noticed my best bud Shin is around. I yelled his name and he said hi back. I looped my arm in his shoulder and whispered out loud, "Hey, have you heard about the news?" he looked at me frowning then smirks. "Oh, you mean that news?" I nod and he said, "Yep. it has been going on for weeks but I thought that wasn't true." I shook my head and drag him to the end of the hallway and told him about my secret letter. He laughs at me and I chuckle myself. I just hope she read the letter. After hearing the morning bell, we both went to our respective classes and as I sat on my seat, I overheard a conversation not so far away from me. "Momo, is it true?" Angelica asked. Momo looked at her with confused eyes and asked, "What is true?"Angelica giggles then playfully pushed her, "Oh, come on. Stop pretending as if you don't know." I scoffed lowly at my seat and looked away. They won't stop making a fuss about that shit for a whole week. I just accidentally revealed that I have a crush on Momo and I want to court her to my friends. All of a sudden, everyone is asking Momo if I already approached her. Some people need to chill.
I sighed as the teacher went inside the room. As he walks in front, his piercing eyes looked straight at me, and I stared back at him with dead eyes. He looked away and start discussing things. As time went on, Ms. Medusa, our Geometry teacher, is absent so they decided to give us an early lunch break. I was so excited to go to the canteen and search for Momo. When I spotted her buying her food. I walk to her and bought mine beside her. Maybe she didn't notice me as she walks passed many students and sat down at the table near the window. My food came in then I gather up all the courage I have and went to her. I could feel all the stares are at me as I go to Momo's table.
I put down my tray and greets her, "Hi." I said. She looked at me and waved back. I sat down and cleared my throat, "I will get straight to the point. I want you to be my girlfriend." I said. And she almost choked at the food she is eating. She coughed down then looked at me, "Are you out of your mind?" she asked. "You got me all choked up, dude. You almost killed me," she said. I sheepishly smiled at her and pass down some napkins and helped her clean the table. "I am so sorry. Are you mad?" I asked. She shook her head and said, "No. I was just surprised." she smiled. "So, will you give me a chance?" I asked. She looked at me and she nods. I felt so happy when she did. Now that I have her, finally. I would do everything to protect her. If it means, killing her known living brother, I will.
I smiled back at her and as the day went on, I feel like I am in heaven. I can now fulfill my grandma's last wishes before she dies. Help Momo out of the curse.
