“Crush”
I had my first crush when I was in high school. I was third year back then and my best friend April kept on taking me with her in the school pathway to wait for her crush to walk pass us. And when her crush comes, she would shriek and giggle as if she was kissed by her crush. I didn’t understand her excitement of seeing that boy until the unsuspected moment when I saw Stefan.
Stefan is the campus crush in our small public school. I didn’t know that until the day I laid my eyes on him. As he walked in the pathway, I gazed upon the beauty of this handsome face. He walks like a runway model on a high fashion event. He’s a little bit taller than me and he has an ivory complexion. His face mimics the grace of that of an angel. His dark amber eyes were not big, not small or chinito, they were perfectly in the middle of those qualities. And his eye lashes were long and it totally complements the shape of his eyes. His nose is pointy and his lips were lusciously red. And when he smiles, his white teeth brightens up my day like the glorious sun does to the buds of roses.
The thing that caught me attracted to him was his eyes and his smile. I couldn’t describe how beautiful and extraordinary the feeling of him staring at me. It’s so magical that you were like caught in a loop were no one is around but the both of you. And when the enchanted moment of him smiling at you comes, it feels like the angels in heaven were singing and you were in your own paradise and nothing matters but that single moment where you look into each other’s eyes and it just makes you happy from the inside out.
Stefan was a real gentleman. When my best friend was finally courted by her crush I found out that her crush and Stefan were cousins and at that moments, we were finally introduced to each other. It was raining that day and we were in the pathway. It felt like it was not raining at all, rather, snows are gently falling from the sky above us. When we were about to go home, he kindly asked me if he could walk with me. My heart pumped and I could not believe that he wants to walk me home. I could not catch my breath at that moment but I smoothly said yes. He hurriedly went to get his bag and borrowed an umbrella to I-don’t-know-who but he did it to prevent me from getting wet. While walking, I was looking at him and it was as if I was trapped in his beauty and suddenly, he grabbed my waist and drew me closer to him. I was so scared and I was trembling in excitement and at the same time confused about why he acted that way. For a moment, I thought that he was going to kiss me or something. But he brightly smiled at me and said,” you were about to step on a puddle of mud”. I blushed in shame because I was so distracted and I looked silly in front of him. When we arrived at the market were I’m supposed to take a ride back home, he voluntarily called a ride for me and I went home with the memory of his face looking and smiling at me.
Eventually, he courted me and of course I gave him my sweetest yes. We were doing fine for the first few weeks but then, the end of the rainbow came and there was no pot of gold and unicorns but only fake coins and fake attitudes. He became so arrogant and prejudice. He talks about unfortunate people and laughs at their misfortune. Slowly, I painfully fell from the paradise that I thought I had. The last straw of my patience broke when he demanded a kiss from me. I hesitated to give him that opportunity and I broke up with him. I realized that the most handsome face doesn’t always have the most handsome heart. But I thank him, for he has contributed to my maturity and my personality. It may not be in the most positive way but it surely ended well for me.
