Love,

Today I went out with my friend Kian. We've known each other for 9 years. I suddenly feel old.

Actually, we were classmates in Grade 7 and 8 and eventually became friends. The other years we spent separately since I was transferred to a lower section when we reached the 9th grade. It's because I didn't listen to our homeroom teacher. I didn't like her attitude towards her students. She would get in a bad mood for no reason and would shout at us. I can still remember how she flipped the teacher's table while preaching. There was even a time when we walked past her. Honestly, Kian and I didn't see her because both of us have poor eyesight. Then, she suddenly walked toward our direction and pointed her finger. "You don't know how to greet your teacher? Students nowadays lack respect!" she exclaimed and walked away.

HAHAHA! I still find it funny in a way. Seriously though, we really didn't see her. But yeah, because of that she gave me a failing grade which caused me to be transferred to a lower section. I was kind of disappointed, but you know me, I'm not a people pleaser. I would rather have people think badly of me than to act all nice. Let them think whatever they want. It's their opinion anyway. Well, at least that's my mindset before.

Until you came into my life.

Kian and I spent the day talking about our lives. We tried to catch up with the latest happenings about each other. She was so curious to know what happened to us, but she said she kept her mouth shut out of respect. And because of that I feel thankful for having her.

Obviously, I talked about you. No, I didn't do it to tarnish your image. I did it for her to somehow understand why I feel so lost. I don't even know what to say or how to explain it. So, I had to tell her from the very beginning.

As we waited in line for her to withdraw cash from the ATM, I began to tell her our story.

Smiling from ear to ear again, I try to recall the first time I saw you in Zoom. It was during our class, but you caught my attention. That huge smile, which somehow shines through the screen of my phone, got my eyes stuck on you. I thought that was it, but you continuously draw my attention. Until one day I just realized that I've been waiting for you to turn on your camera, so I can pin your video on my screen and watch your every reaction instead of listening to the lesson.

You're such a cutie patootie!

Maybe that's when it all started? Then, my friend, Mae, the class secretary as well, invited us to join a meeting. It wasn't a serious meeting, just a friendly one. Of course, I joined and when we were talking about you, you suddenly jumped in to the meeting. With your wide smile, messy hair and a guitar, you greeted us "Hi!". I immediately turned off my camera because I felt shy for some reason. You started singing but I couldn't quite recall which song was that. All I focused on was the smile plastered on your face all throughout that short performance.

Can I write more letters about this day?

Hopeless romantic,

Aggie
