[b]CHAPTER 06[/b] "To Summer Merry Christmas. I know you're gonna love this one From you're Hero" Who the hell is my Hero? O_O Oh wait.... could it be!? reminising moment :idea: About a month ago it was our school's talent competition. And since we were both part of the student council, we were members of the working team. So there was this one night when we had a sleepover so we could finish the decorations. Me and Keith were in the living room with everyone else. He was in that corner while i was in this one. I got a glimpse of him looking at me and after a while, another glimpse at him and there he was.... approaching me Paranoid much?? Maybe he was just gonan go to the bathroom or something. Oh come on! rrriiiiggght he sat next to me, dont tell me he's gonna pee right there hahahaha So anyways, he sat down beside me and helped me and Charmaine cut out big letters. Charm stared at me as she almost cut through the letter T. I was half smiling so i figured she got the clue and stood up and said "I soooo need to pee!" and then scadoodled along her way ^_^ Deep inside i was going crazy! having my own party in me! Pathetic i know, but the fact that it was him and me, sitting together in that corner, late at night.... was so..... awesome What does this have to do with who my "Hero" is you ask? Well that night i was using the small stepping ladder to put up the letters on the wall to see how thety'd really look. While reaching for the letter "T" which was quite far from my reach, i accidentally slipped! Everyone screamed but he ran caught me and maybe the moment just got to me (his arms wrapped around me and all) i said "my hero!" and we all laughed. So that's the story of how he came to be my hero. Weird.... Oh, by the way, Keith one first place .. He sang and played tha guitar of his He sang a medly.... True (ryan cabrera) + Out of My League + I'm Yours + Collide. Amazing He deserved the prize (i imagined him singing to me O_O with that performance, every girl might have done the same) Anyways! I slowly lifted the gift, feeling it as if it were a bomb O_O I slowly removed the outer peeling of the gift wrapper to get a glimpse of what it was... IT WAS A BOX. Amazing! I thought to myself "maybe he wrpapped it in a box so that the scotch tape wouldnt destroy the gift? Oh golly, all hopes are high! After seeing the box, i tore the gift wrapper as quickly as i could! After that i removed it from the box! I finally have the gift! It's a ........................ book? O_O Ok, here's a small trivia: i love books. i adore books. i'm crazy about books. BUT, i was expecting something like shoes or something come on girls, i think we can all relate. But when i saw the title of the book, i guess, i even thought of crying.. You betcha. It was crazy, but he probably went to the edge of the world just to even FIND a copy of this book. It was crazy...... but at that moment, i think i fell........................ in love? Love.... lvoe is such a strong and meaningful word. Use it wisely, use it carefully. Use it for someone you truly and really love. Choose the people you love... take time to realize that you actually do love them. I dont easily "love". It takes a whole lot of time and a whole lot of "person" before i actually "love" someone. and maybe, just maybe, i think i'm in love.... for the very first time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]CHAPTER 07[/b] First love? Are you sure, Summer? You've already been in 6 relationships. 6 really sad ones. 3 of the guys i dated were probably in love with the idea that i was theirs but never just in love me. The other 3, i guess i could say i actually loved them and they loved me back. But this one was different. I don't know why, but i just. It's like, if one day i'd be telling my children my love story, i think i'd love to tell them that Keith was my first love. How could i even say that i love him, right? I don't know why, but i just could. I mean, maybe all this wasnt real, but i guess the idea of everything being real made me fall for him. And come one, he serenades me, he writes to me, he gives me gives, he's caring he's kind, he makes me laugh and smile.... what's not to fall in love for? So anyways, i opened my gift from my hero and it was a book. A lovely, ancient book by Charlotte Bronte. I told him once about this, that it was my ultimate favorite book of all time. But i only got to read it once cause i dont have a copy and i dont even remember who's copy i read. I told him that tried buying one from ebay but it turned out to be tooootal and complete fake. I even told him about my journys to almost every bookstore that i'd pass by. But now, here it is, in my hands. I was amazed..... amazed at the fact that he even remembered the title! Jane Eyre. Only thought one was in my head: What should i get him? I reminised on the days we'd chat and stuff.. and then i remembered something. He told me that when he was a kid, he loved oshkosh stuff. pants, shirts caps, everything! He said he loved the cute little logo. I thought of buying him a shirt or a cap but then realized it was too baby-ish. Then i remembered something better. His bag looked SO UGLY! as if he wasnt rich. I couldnt help but ask why he still had that bag. He told me that he loved that bag so much. That that was his bag since the 3rd grade. It was a green, nike body bag. Now so rugged and ugly and old.. Now that's something good When i saw him today i said nothing else but "thank you". I avoided him the whole day to avoid other unauthorized conversations. Plus so i could surprise him, too. After school that day, me and Aly headed of to the mall. Our feets probably swoled up from searching but i finally found one! Although it didnt look exactly as the one he had now, it looked better It cost about 1,500. That was no problem for me I had it wrapped, boxed then wrapped again... then wrapped again... and again.. and again. Para mahirapan naman siya So the next day, even if it was torture to me, inagahan ko sa school para masurprise ko din siya. I left it on his desk and went of the room. After 15 minutes i saw him go through the gates of our school, so i followed him... secretly When we he was near the room, i didnt enter. I went to the back windows to catch a glimpse of the action. At first, he stared at the package all smiley then he opened it.... i guess you could say, it was like my whole reaction yesterday I felt real good inside like i did something REAL good today ^_^ So the day went on smoothly and he thanked me every minute of the day Haay... so what's up with that? Exchanging gifts, smiles and all that. My baby aint real Woooot! Christmas Vacation at last!!!!!!! Wait, that means i wont see him for 2 and a half weeks O_O sigh... Off we go .... to the land he's far from. Text from Keith: Hey there hon. Summer: Feeling Keith: kala ko ba honey?? Summer: Hah? oo nga, feeling magaling magenglish! Kaw talaga honey! hahahaha Keith: Hahaha miss na kita hon Summer: Kadiri ka! Keith: hmp. ganyan ka naman di mo ko namimiss. haay di bale, lav parin kita hon Summer: awww! i love you too, hero hahahaha! Keith: hmm. Summer: hah? Keith: Seryoso? Summer: uhh, yung?

O_O By the way, mga 8:30 palang niyan. My gad. Sabihin mo kung ayaw mo kong katext! But hey, i got the message. I seriously knew what he meant when he asked What He Was To Me. I just wasnt sure of what to answer.... wether i shoudlve said the truth or made a joke (like i thought he was making). I was never sure... That night i couldnt sleep..... i just sent a GM Quote... that was around 10:30. It was about "regret", cause i really wish i just told him what he really was to me. Hoooo guess who replied O_o tulog na raw. Sus!
