I met her during my young early years of adolescence. It was my very first day in highschool and boy, was that day awkward. Class started at 0700 and I arrived at 0645. I came with what I thought was all I needed. A binder, a couple of pens, school diary, paperwork. Only one thing though, I was the only student who wasn't in his full uniform. Not that I didn't have it but, I just thought that it won't be essential. I was wrong.
As I stepped into the classroom scanning for a seat, I heard someone calling out my name. It was a familiar male voice. I turned towards the direction of where the voice came from and to my surprise, it was a classmate of mine from grade school - Patricio! Lucky me I said. He pulled the seat that was to his right and motioned for me to join him. As I got there, we started talking about who else amongst our old classmates was with us. I was surprised as there was just more than what I expected. After we've caught up on the chits and chats, he introduced me to the people who were sitting infront of us. They were 2 young ladies. Rosemarie and Annabelle.
"By the way, she's Rosemarie," he said while pointing to the person directly in front of me. And this, this is Teacher Annabelle. (We had a Teacher back in elementary who was named the same) He was holding on the seat with his right hand and pointing with his left index finger referring to the young lady seated in front of him. As I looked at her face while we were being introduced, ray of light shined on her face and a light breeze came in to brush her. I was speechless. I knew at that moment that I wanted her.
She was an average looking young lady then. Straight long hair, lightly glossed lips and she had no makeup on her face, - wow! They rarely come as simple as her these days i thought. I later found out that her dad was (and still is) an airman. She had a very calming voice. From that moment on, I knew I liked her.
I tried to felt her know how I felt about her. I've gone to great lengths - ridiculous you might say. I was a slave to this thing called puppy love, I have been, for years. I always thought that time and persistence would convince and plead to an ignoring heart, that showing a positive attitude about things would send out positive vibes but most of all, that patience, loyalty and diligence would soften up a stubborn heart. I guess I was wrong. Very wrong. So, just as the lines of the popular song we shared a dance to at out Sr.Prom, "And as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife, All the sweet things she can find, All the sweet things they can find."
