I met this guy way back – I was 1st year high school and so was he and I met him during summer class and obviously, I failed one of my subject--math subject to be exact—that’s why I took a summer class in order for me not to go back to 1st year (it’ll be a big shame if I will go back to 1st year and my classmates are on the 2nd year---imagine my relief!) I won’t mention the name of the school but it was locate somewhere in Dona Feliza Mejia just a long walk away from our house about 30 minutes or so. Anyway, this guy was one hell one of a kind I must say and you want to know why—well, this guy was a snob I mean for me I found him a totally snob maybe that’s because he wasn’t paying much attention with me. We were seatmates---I, my best friend, and my other friend and he were on the same row and same sit—he was on the first (the school’s chair was like a long wooden bench with a small writing tables attached on it.) I already noticed him on the first day of summer class but I didn’t care less because he’s so silent throughout the day. I thought he’s weird, he never talk, I mean he does talked but I never heard of him talking or I never see him talking when I’m there. As a young teenager, I was really talkative and was very hyper so I moved every now and then on the sit, I never thought he took noticed of it.
My best friend and this guy got closed, and heard them talking and so I was like—hhhmmm, this guy’s so unfair, he never talked to me or even just say hi, hello I’m Juan and you?—I mean it was okay with me if we don’t exchange names but it was still unfair, well for me though. I am friendly so what’s there not to like about me? I will not bite or something but he was out of reached though we’re just one sit away. And one time, I moved back and forth on my sit, me and my best friend and my other friend was talking about crushes when I heard him talking to my best friend and said “ IT’S BETTER FOR HER TO MOVE TO OTHER SIT OR ELSE I’LL WRING HER PRETTY NECK” so I turned around and said to my best friend “ HEY, WHO’S THE GUY —THE NERVE OF HIM TO SAY THOSE THINGS TO ME, PAKI-ALAM KO SA KANYA” and my best friend told the guy what I told to her, and guess what he was so angry that I heard him saying “ IF SHE WASN’T A GIRL, I MIGHT GIVE HIM AGOOD PUNCH ON THE FACE “—I was like “ WOW, SOME GUTS OVER THERE THEN GIVE IT A TRY “ then my best friend told me enough so there I ended the conversation with the guy if it was called a conversation. From then on we’re not on the speaking term until the rest of the summer class and he was like never existed to me and my teacher transferred me to another sit, 3 sits away across from him and that situation will always be at the back of my mind, forever!
Forward to the present, I saw him on facebook last June and so I added him and he accepted the friend invitation but we never chatted whenever his on line. I visited his facebook account many times, read his profiles, took a peak of his albums but it was on a private settings, means limited. Just last week a chat message popped up on my facebook account (I was on line that time, well I am on line every day, addicted to it), imagine my surprise when it appeared that he was the one who sent a chat message with me. He asked if I know him or vice versa because he said my face seems really familiar to him. So I said my face kind of really familiar to you it’s because we already met way, way back during 1st year summer class but unfortunately he never remember those days or shall I say he never remember me. He mention some of his friends if I am related to them so I said No, I don’t know them and I am from ormoc and not from Cebu. And I said to him, “ YOU WERE A SNOB BACK THEN, YOU NEVER TOOK NOTICED ON ME NOR TALKED TO ME “ so he said “ I’M SORRY, I GUESS I WAS A SNOB BACK THERE BUT TODAY IF WE WILL MEET DEFINITELY, I WILL TAKE NOTICE ON YOU”. Oh well, we’re young then and immature that understands it. He’s now based in Cebu and he was now in a group band though I never heard of this band because I’m not into group band actually, I only know a few bands like Parokya ni Edgar, Eraseheads, Rivermaya, Neocolors, Shamrock, 6 cycle mind and Side A. And so we chatted for 1 hour and half, I took the liberty of reminiscing the good ol’days but he never really remembers me. So I said it’s Okay, no worries but of course I will not mention what we had chatted, it’s something personal so let’s leave it that way—a cliff hanger.
Last week end, he texted me (well, we exchanged digits) and said he printed out my profile picture and going to spray it on his guitar, I was shocked, no I was speechless. At the back of my mind, there is something weird going on I mean sure, there is this good connection between us but why does he printed out my profile picture and specifically spray it out on his guitar?—that question popped out on my mind but I felt flattered too, imagine a guy printed out a picture of a girl and planning on spraying it on his baby. That kind of flattering, really so isn’t he a one of a kind guy? So I asked him, why he did it? He said it clear and simple –He wanted me to be with him wherever he is (aaww, that’s so sweet of him considering we’re not even in a talking terms before in 1st year summer class, he even forgot me, not even an acquaintance?) So I said, could you take a picture when you’re done spraying it out on your guitar and upload it on your facebook so that I can see, he said sure. I am so excited to see it. And he said he liked me because I am fun to talk with—err…now what’s there to like about me? I am boring and pretty—pretty ugly (I was laughing out loud when I wrote this line here). Anyway, he is one of kind guy, isn’t he? But too bad I haven't heard of him for days now--I guess the magic suddenly flew out of the window...He really a one of a kind --- now you you see, no you don't !
