The next day I was so excited to go to school, as I hurriedly put on my school uniform and brushed my teeth. I left the house as I kissed my mom goodbye and ate my breakfast on the way.
As I passed by the stores on my way to the bus, I saw a cake displayed on the window.
The light hit the gold leaves and the hearts on the cake shot an arrow straight to my heart.
I gawked and stared at the cake as I daydreamed about sharing it with him. I made up my mind and went inside the shop, paying for the cake with my allowance.
It might have put a dent in my savings but for me, it'll all be worth it. I rushed back on the path to the bus and went to school.
When I arrived at the school, I went directly to find his classroom, but when I finally found his room he was nowhere to be seen.
I waited for a while until the bell rang, as I heard the bell ring I got disappointed because I couldn't find him.
I left with a frown on my face, sighing all the way to the classroom. As I was about to enter through the door someone called me from afar, I looked back and it was Gavvy.
My frowning face turned to a smile in an instant. Gavvy ran towards me while his hands were on his back, like he was hiding something.
Then all of a sudden the whole world stopped, everyone was frozen except for him, and he was all that I could hear. As he was getting near me, his hands reached out and in an attempt to hug me.
In that situation I opened my arms and waited for his arms to reach and wrap them around my body. He dashed into me and hugged me tightly.
All I could feel in that scenario was his warm embrace and experiencing this delightful moment. After that few minutes of cuddling we finally let go of each other's embrace.
Before I got to ask a question he handed me a flower, it was daisies and it seemed like it was picked from someone else's garden.
Well at least he gave me something, and I don't care if it's just some flowers, the most important thing for me is that he was there with me and I got to eat the cake with him.
He said yes, but the teacher had arrived and told us to go back to our respective classrooms, before I entered the room I told him that I'll meet him at the school canteen.
Inside the classroom I was sitting in my seat and while the teacher was teaching us a new lesson I was thinking of what will happen on our kinda like date in the cafeteria.
I imagine things such as flirting with him and him also flirting with me, what could go wrong right? My mind continues to think as my consciousness flies all the way across the globe on where our "love" could possibly go.
Then as I was daydreaming, the bell rang so loud that it made me left in my Imaginary love story. I shake my head to help me wake up to reality.
The next teacher arrived and It was the last period before lunch break. The teacher started talking, but I was out of focus then suddenly the other students from other sections.
I was puzzled so I asked my seatmate what was going on, and he told me that we were going to have a movie analysis so the other sections were there to watch a short film.
The teacher then called all of the student's attention to inform us that after a short movie she would have the following activity after.
The teacher then closes all the lights, pulls down the curtain and shuts the door, so that we can see clearly on the screen projector, and then the teacher starts playing the short film.
There was no noise I could hear except for the film that was playing. Within the five minutes into the movie I was already Invested, but I somehow felt like someone was looking at me. I looked around and I saw Gavvy, and even though the place was dark I could clearly see his face.
I stared back into him, I communicated with him through hand gestures and telling him to come sit beside me.
He walked slowly towards me and sat beside me. After he just sat down, had a little chat with him, then he moved his chair to get closer to me, and he told me that the short film was romance.
I was like "huh?". He then followed it up by saying, watching a romance movie is more romantic when a couple is holding hands, he then suddenly took my hands and held it.
I was shocked when he did that and my heartbeat was beating so loud and I felt like it was louder than the movie.
I couldn't focus, my mind was cheering and felt like all of my there is no room for sadness in my heart and mind. While in the hand I couldn't get myself to watch the movie because of the situation I'm currently in.
After a few minutes the movie ended and the teacher opened the lights and asked us students to find a partner for the activity.
Gavvy let go of my hands as we both stretched our arms, he asked me to be his partner. I calmly said yes but my mind and heart was not calmat all, It was cheering and celebrating.
The teacher told everyone that as the movie focuses on a love story of a sad beautiful tragedy, she wanted us to feel how the couple felt in the short film and by dancing and expressing emotions based on the movie.
Gavvy and I started dancing romantically as at the moment we only felt love. The teacher notices us and asks the both of us why we think that dancing romantically is what the story wants to tell us.
Before I could speak up, Gavvy answered that even though the story was sad and tragic, it tells a story that even if the person died but the love will remain, and that while watching he experienced love especially with someone who is beside him, which was me.
I was left speechless, there were no words to say, just an action. Suddenly I had the guts to kiss him on his lips in front of everyone, but I held back because our teacher was there. Also she might get pissed and report us to the guidance office, and the fact that he could reject me or push me away.
Everybody cheered and applauded him for what he said to the whole class. Then the teacher continued to ask another student, until the bell rang indicating that it's lunch break time. Gavvy grabbed my hands and we got out of the class and ran to the school's cafeteria.
