MY LOVE STORY

I have a girlfriend named Yolike Sablada Alverio. We have known each other since we were still first years. When I first saw her, she looked like a very ordinary girl to me. I am not even attracted to her beauty. I was still very quiet then sitting on my chair when there is no teacher around. When I am silent on my chair, this girl keeps on speaking to me until she hears me talk back to her. I admired her friendliness and thoughtfulness but I have no special feelings for her.

One time, we had homework on social studies about current events. Unfortunately, I had no newspapers at home and the only contact number I had on my classmates is hers. So I decided to call her on the phone to ask if she could bring me some newspapers the next day. When I heard her voice on the phone, I felt something strange, something I have never felt before. My heart beat faster and I was happy to hear her voice. I kept on thinking about her that night.

The next days I was already talking to her often. We became good friends and talked about each other’s life. There was a time when Melbert and John Paul were playing games. Melbert said that “Yolike is mine” then JP said “No she is mine” and they kept on saying that. I did not know what was on my mind and I just said that “No, she is mine!” They were shocked because it was the first time I bonded with them and told me “Ok, she’s yours”. Of course that was only a joke because I am not in love with her. Then the next weeks, I began texting her “I love you” even though it was a joke. I forgot when it became serious. All I can remember is that one evening, she just texted me “gudnyt! Love yah!” That was the first time she told me “I love you” I was jumping in my bed that night. That time, I knew I was really in love with that girl!

We began texting and giving cards and love letters and gifts to each other. Her thoughtfulness is what I liked about her the most! She never forgets in reminding me to eat on time. She never fails to text me goodnight every evening and every last word of her text is always an “I love you!” I forgot when did I court her but I can remember the day she said “Yes!” It was on the cloudy morning of September 27, 2005. I was very happy that morning. I can’t describe how I feel.

At first when she is still not my girl friend, her parents do not really like me. They do not want their daughter to be involved in relationships. But despite their strong disagreement against me, I still continued to do the things we do. I always accompany her every time she goes home. Do some of her assignments and so with her to me.

Now, we are close with her parents and we still continued to do the wonderful and memorable things we used to do. I hope my love story will have a happy ending.
