"M-Ma'am.." I raised my hand slowly with fear, but I just knew that I had to do it or else I'll never get the chance again any time this week.

My teacher turned around from the chalkboard and stared at me. "Yes?" she asked with annoyance.

I cleared my throat and stood up with embarrassment. I looked at everyone around me, they were all watching me. My eyes flew back to my teacher and I took a deep breath. "I-I don't agree with your statement, ma'am."

"Excuse me?" my teacher put the chalk in her hand down on her desk and brushed her hands so the chalk's leftovers on her hands would disappear. "What don't you agree with?"

"Well," I tried to sound like I knew what I was doing, "you said that they were just dreams. I don't quite agree with what you said there. They aren't just dreams.."

"Yes, they are." my teacher narrowed her eyes at me. I could see her anger rising.

"N-No!" I accidentally shouted. I covered my mouth but put my hand back down by my side. "They aren't just dreams! They're fantasies, places to go when you feel depressed, they are things that can make anyone smile...they're everything!"

"We are not going to have this discussion in front of the whole class!"

"But we need to finish this discussion with an agreement!"

"Sit down right now!"

"No! Not until you negotiate this with me, ma'am!"

My teacher took a deep breath and glared at me. Before she could say anything else, I shouted over her beginning voice. "Fairytales are not just dreams!!"

---

My name is Tita and I am a big failure. You wonder why? Obviously, it's because I've never had a boyfriend before in my life. Ever since I started preschool, I have not had a man by my side to watch over me and to love me. It being lonely, and it makes you envious when you see another girl out there with a man by her side holding her hand.

And to top it off, everyone in school thinks that I'm a geek. I'm not a geek! They don't know me at all! What's what? Oh, you wonder why they think that I'm a geek? Well.. that's because...................

 

--- 　

Great, just great. I'm sitting here in the lunchroom while watching other people point at me and laugh at me. Who cares if I strongly believe in fairytales? Can't they just back off or something? I'm so ready to punch someone in their face!

I stood up, annoyed from the pointing and laughing, and picked my tray up, ready to throw it out. However, when I turned around, I almost dropped my tray on the floor, even though I just picked it up from the table. "K-Kyuhyun!" my mouth flew open as I looked at his perfect figure stand right in front of me.

"Hi." was all he said after he chuckled.

W-What is Kyuhyun doing here?? Kyuhyun, the school kingka is here standing right in front of me! Is this a dream? Is this the beginning of my real fairytale??

Suddenly, I was broken from the real world by thoughts of my past...

[Flashback]

"I'm sorry, Tita. I only see you as a friend." my first crush ever had said to me that rainy-first-grade-school-day.

---

"Maybe you got the wrong person, Tita. I'm not the one for you." my second crush said to me that day on the playground during second grade.

---

"You want to go out with me? Eww!" my third crush exclaimed before he ran off to our third grade teacher...

---

"I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend, Tita.." my seventh grade crush confronted me after he heard that I had a crush on him.

---

"Who do you think you are?" a popular girl pushed me away before I could even speak to my ninth grade crush.

[Flashback is over]

Ever since the last rejection, I've decided to not fall in love again. I held back my heart, I closed the doors, I shut the windows, I turned off the air conditioner, I turned off the running water, I did everything that would remind me to stop falling in love.

However, even thought I stopped my heart from opening, I still believed that one day, Mr. Prince Charming would come and find me. I don't know why, and I don't know when I'll get over this fairytale stuff, but I still wish and pray for Mr. Prince Charming to find me every night. I open my eyes every morning and think to myself if I'll find my Prince Charming today. I close my eyes every night and wonder to myself if I'll find him tomorrow..

And...I think I've found Mr. Prince Charming.

Lately, I've had a growing crush on Kyuhyun. Yes, I know, I went against my own principle, but you know what? Kyuhyun is just irresistable. I couldn't help but drool for him when I first saw him. His smile is so adorable, his laughter is so melodic, his eyes always glisten in the sunlight like the surface of the water, and his body is so perfect. I understood why he was the school kingka, I really did.

 

I know that it's not a good thing to like the school kingka if you're a "geek", but I couldn't help it. This crush has been growing ever since my sophomore year. Yes, I know, my life totally , right?

But, can Kyuhyun really be my Prince Charming? My Mr. Right? My Hero? My soulmate...? Can he really be--

"Tita!" Kyuhyun shouted out to me. I was startled and broke away from my thoughts, only to see Kyuhyun staring at me like I was crazy. "Are you okay?" he asked, looking at me from top to bottom. "You were standing there and spacing out, yo. You were saying Mr. Prince Charming and My life an awful lot, you know? Is something wrong?"

I heard laughters around me. I cleared my throat and tried to act casual as I made up an excuse for my stupidity to space out in front of everyone. "Yeah, I'm good." I lied. "I was just........singing my favorite song."

 

F. M. L!

"Your favorite song?" he smiled. "I've never heard such a song. I'm gonna have to look that song up." he chuckled again. I almost fainted because his smile was so heavenly, but I woke back up when his eyes met mine. "Listen.." he said to me. "I was wondering if...if you'd like to....to go on a date with me."

"OMG! GMO! OMFG!! GFMO!!! YES, YES I WILL, KYUHYUN!!!!" is what I'd really say.

But..

 

"What?" is what I said in reality.

 

"You know...a date with me?" he smiled as he looked into my eyes.

 

"W-What?" I repeated, apparently speechless for many reasons.

 

I can't believe this! My first boyfriend ever is going to be Kyuhyun, the perfect guy!!!!!! He asked me out!!! OMG, what a great first love this is! Thank you, God! I'll continue to pray every night from now on!

"I mean.." I tried desperately to grab my senses back into my head. "S-Sure. A date would be fine. When, where, and what time?" I tried to act like his date question was nothing to me. I obviously couldn't look like I was cool with it.

 

Kyuhyun laughed. "I asked if you wanted to date me, Tita, not if you wanted to go on a date with me to some restaurant." he smiled at me again. "You're so cute."

 

Gah! I feel my cheeks burning! My life !!!

 

"Oh..!" I gripped my tray tighter from the embarrassment. "I knew that, haha. I was just....asking if you wanted to go to a restaurant or something. But, anyway, sure, I'd love to go on a date with you, Kyuhyun."

 

"Then it's settled." he smirked and walked up to me, but stopped only a few inches away. He leaned into me and left a small amount of space between our lips. "You're now mine, Tita." he smiled and got in line to get his lunch.

 

I felt the burning in my cheeks. This totally . Well, not Kyuhyun, but me! I at everything! I should have said something back to him before letting him get in line. But, what could I have said? Yes, I am yours forever or I am now your property, Prince Kyuhyun.

 

I tried my best to walk with a steadily to the trashcan, but I tripped on my own foot, causing the food on my tray to fly everywhere. Everyone in the cafeteria laughed as the embarrassment flooded my cheeks. I turned to look at Kyuhyun, hoping that he'd come and save me from this embarrassment, but instead of saving me, he laughed with everyone else.

Is this really how it's supposed to be..? Isn't he my hero? Why isn't he helping me?

I dropped my tray and ran out of the cafeteria. When I got to the nearest bathroom, I locked myself in the farthest stall. I slided down on the wall until my bottom reached the cold floor.

M-Maybe it's supposed to be like this. Maybe having a boyfriend is supposed to make you think twice about something. Maybe having a boyfriend will make you wonder things like why he didn't come and stop everyone from laughing at you. Maybe, just maybe, this is all apart of the girlfriend/boyfriend routine. Is it...?

I looked up at the ceiling.

Don't give up, Tita. This is all apart of the routine.....

I took a deep breath and stood up slowly, ready to face more embarrassment..

---

[Next Day]

I skipped to school happily. I totally forgot, and nolonger cared, about being super embarrassed and having a bad reputation of stupidness. All I wanted to do was see Kyuhyun. I wanted to greet him with a smile on my face, I wanted to give him a warm hug.

When I got to school, I went directly to the back of the school to the courtyards. All the popular kids stood there until the morning bell rang, so I figured that Kyuhyun, my new boyfriend, would be there.

I was so excited that I felt my legs shake. I was also scared and nervous. I hope he likes the outfit I'm wearing today. Maybe he'll comment on my hair. I just want him to notice me there. I want him to know that I'm beside him, that I like him more than how I did before..

As I got closer to the courtyard, I heard a lot of people cheering. "Go Kyu, go Kyu, go Kyu!" they cheered. "Ohhhhhhhh!!" they shouted right after they cheered for Kyuhyun.

Is he fighting?!?!!? Oh no!!!

Worried, yet scared, I ran as fast as I could. I didn't want Kyuhyun to fight! If he fights, he'll get expelled! This can't happen! He needs to be a good person, he has to do good in school, he can't just let go of his education like this!

When I turned at the corner to face the courtyard, when I turned the corner, ready to stop Kyuhyun from fighting, I felt everything around me stop. Everything came to a halt. I felt a burning scar deep down inside my heart. Ice-cold tears streamed down my cheeks.

I quickly turned back around the corner and ran the opposite way, the way that I came from. I ran away from the thing that caused the burning scar that is now engraved on my heart. I ran away from the pain that was in front of me. I ran away from the one that I thought was my Mr. Prince Charming. I ran away from the vision of Kyuhyun kissing another girl..

How could this happen? He just asked me out on a date and he's...he's cheating?? Why is this happening? My heart feels as if it's going to burst, I want to shout out with all my anger and confusion so badly. I feel like the world around me as stopped, everything is frozen, nothing is heard. All I can hear is a soft, distant echoe of my footsteps on the ground. I can't hear anything else, I can only hear the heavy steps that I run. The burning I feel inside hurts. It hurts like never before. I don't understand why and how. I just know that it's slowly killing me inside.

I continued running. I didn't stop, nor did I look back. I was too scared to look back, too scared to stop. I'm so tired of getting hurt like this. I'm tired of getting rejected. All these fairytales that I've believed in......they've failed me. I thought that it'd be Kyuhyun, my Prince Charming. I thought it'd be him forever. But how can it be him when we didn't even have our first date yet? I feel like this is all a dream, but it all feels so real at the same time. Is this reality? Can't this just be a dream? I want to wake up! I want to wake up from this heatbreaking dream!

My shoulder suddenly bumped into another and the sound of books falling onto the ground was heard. I stopped and turned my head around to look at what I hit. I looked down and saw a guy picking up the papers that were lying on the concrete floor.

"I-I'm so sorry.." I wiped my tears and said as I helped him pick up his papers.

"It's okay." he chuckled. "This has happened many times...but, this is the first time that someone helped me pick up my papers, you know?" he chuckled again.

I couldn't help but smile when he said that. It wasn't funny, nor was it not funny. It was......cheesy, fruity, lame, and...cute in a weird way. "I'm sorry." I repeated. "I should have watched where I was going, but I..." I didn't want to tell the stranger what happened, so I stopped, handed him his papers and ran away.

Just thinking about it hurts.. I can't put it into words...

Why did this happen to me?

I stopped at the front steps. The tears were still rolling. I felt the cool breeze hit my cheeks, freezing the tears. My tears were so cold that I felt them burn. The burned like the scar that I felt inside.

He did this to humiliate me. Kyuhyun did this to make me look stupid. He did this to me to break me down. He lied that he wanted to go on a date with me just so he could.....humiliate me.

Why did he do this? Does he not know how a broken heart feels? Why did he have to choose me? Why does it have to be my heart? He shattered the small shards into smaller peices. He broke the doors to my heart down, I can't put them back up in place. He ruined everything in my heart, I can't put anything back together. I'm ruined, broken down. Nobody is here to save me..

Why? Why....?

---

[Lunchtime]

I didn't want to enter the lunchroom. Kyuhyun would be in there, and I already knew what he was planning. Instead, I turned around, the opposite way of the cafeteria, and walked out to the back where the library was located. The only peaceful place seemed to be the library now.

When I got in, all the computers were occupied. I rolled my eyes and walked into the librarian's room. We were allowed to go in and use her computer, but that was only if all the computers in the main room were taken.

When I moved the mouse to the librarian's computer, a screen popped up. It seemed as if the computer was already on, since an entry on Microsoft Word popped up. I was about to close the window that was present, but I saw my name. I looked closer.

Dear Tita.

What is this?

Dear Tita,

Wow, another day and another beautiful you. I've been sick for the past few days, so I didn't get to see you much. I hate the wintertime. Do you hate it too? Wait, I'm getting off track. Haha.

Anyway, Tita, we bumped into one another by coincidence today. It was just earlier this morning before the bell rang.

"That guy..." I remembered the one that I bumped into. But, is he the one that wrote this..?

It was so weird. At that very moment, before we ran into one another, I was wishing to see you. I wanted to see your beautiful face so bad, Tita. And then, poof! There you were! It was absoultely amazing, Tita! I's so serious, it was like a miracle! Wait, no, you're the miracle! Hahaha.

Tita, will you ever notice me? Once? Twice? How many times must I ask myself this question every single day, Tita?

Tita, I...

The....letter stopped there. I tried to think who would write this. Could it be that guy that I bumped into? If it is, how and when did he...like me..? I'm so confused..

I shut the monitor off so I wouldn't see the letter. I backed away from the computer and walked to the window. Could it really be that guy..? How? I don't even know him. I didn't even get the chance to glance at his face. How could he like me--?

The door opened and I quickly turned around. "T-Tita.." the guy that entered the room said with little shock.

That voice.. is the voice of the guy that I.....

I looked up at the guy that was standing by the door. He walked up to me and took a deep breath. "Hi, I don't think we got to introduce ourselves this morning.
he laughed and held out his hand. "My name is Henry. Henry Lau." he smiled and waited for me to shake his hand.

His smile slowly faded when I turned away from him. He cleared his throat and put his hand back by his side. "So..." he said, breaking the silence, "what brings you in here?"

"N-Nothing.." I was trying to think of the possible answers to the reason why he liked me. I rarely even know him...

"Ah~ haha." he laughed a little. I heard him shuffle through the narrow walkway back to the computer. I heard him move the mouse around for the screen to pop up, then I heard the sound of the monitor's power button. "D-Did you touch the computer?" he asked quickly with a touch of a worried and scared tone.

"No.." I lied. I turned around to face him. "No, I didn't. Why?"

"Nothing." he smiled. "I was just....wondering." he smiled again.

The letter I read on the computer. His words, his questions, everything he said made me think about so many things. If I were to go out with him, will he treat me right..? If I were to fall in love with him, would he cheat on me..? His words were different. No one has ever said those words to me before, and it makes me wonder about the possibilities. Will I be hurt if I believe his words..?

"C-Can I ask you a question?" I looked at him.

He looked into my eyes and smiled. "Sure."

I hesitated, but I asked anyway. "If you....If you knew a girl that was just heartbroken by the guy she liked.....what would you do?" I looked at him after I finished my question.

After a few seconds, he looked at me. "Hmmm. Friend or not, I'll try to make her happy as can be. No woman should suffer or cry alone without someone to love or care for her." he smiled again.

Henry, you smile an awful lot...

His words touched me. Was it true that no woman deserved to suffer and cry alone without someone to love her? Are those words true? If so, then why am I suffering and crying alone? Why is it that I have no one to love or care for me? And why is it that hearing these words from Henry makes me so certain that they are true? If those words came out of another person's mouth, would I still be this positive that the words were right and that they were true..?

"Can we meet here again tomorrow, Henry..?" I asked without thinking. I wanted to see if I was choosing the right path to become his friend..

And miraculously, I chose the path that I was looking for.

After that day, Henry and I became closer than how I expected. He was so warm, so loving, so different. He was the exact opposite of my dream guy, but he was all that I needed. I loved how he held me each and every morning, I love how he kissed me softly on my lips, I loved how he loved me..

Henry is a miracle. He stopped this continuous rejection chain that kept on happening to me. He stopped all the pain, he stopped everything. I love him so much..

---

---

I ran to the library where Henry greeted me. I was about to say good morning to him, but he kissed me before I could. It was yet another soft and passionate kiss, one of those kisses that you can never get with a perfect playboy. One of those kisses that you can never get with Kyuhyun..

When he pulled away to look at me, I felt myself blushing again. Henry chuckled and pulled me into a hug. "Tita.." he said to me. "I'm serious about you."

OMG, my heart is pounding like crazy!

"I want you to be mine forever." he continued. "You're all that I need, all that I want. Will you be with me forever, Tita..?"

"I.." I didn't know what to say, my heart was too excited. "I--"

"Well, well." I heard a very familiar voice. Henry and I both turned around to see Kyuhyun standing there with his arms folded. "What is this, a love movie?" Kyuhyun asked, glaring at henry and I. "Tita, what the heck are you doing with this guy?"

I tried so hard to say something but I was completely speechless. My lips were as frozen as my legs.

"Come here right now," Kyuhyun walked up to me and pulled me away from Henry, "do you know who you belong to--?"

"Let me go!" I snatched my arm out of Kyuhyun's grip and looked at his shocked expression.

"Tita, what are you doing?" Kyuhyun asked. "We're dating, don't you remember?"

"Don't lie to me!" I don't know why, but I suddenly broke out and there were tears streaming down from my eyes. "I know it all, Kyu! I know everything..! You don't want to go out with me, you don't like me, you don't love me!"

"W-What are you talking about--?"

"Stop acting like you don't know! The day after we went out, I walked to the back and saw you kissing another girl! You don't know how much it hurts, Kyu, you don't!"

"Tita..." Kyu took a step closer to me. "That was months ago... I've been looking for you for atleast 2 months now, Tita. And when I finally find you here in the morning, I find you holding another guy.."

"Throughout the few months that you looked for me, I found someone who cared and loved me, Kyu.." I said to him. "I found someone who took me for who I was, someone who didn't play games with my heart. And if you really wanted to find me, you would have found me during that week that I left you because the library isn't hard to find!"

"Tita, I..." he tried to find the words to say. "I.... I love you, Tita, and I'm sorry.. That week, I learned the biggest lesson of my life. All my friends left me and all the girls that I hung with also left me just because I lost my anger at one of the girls. I realized that my friends were only there to make me do the wrong. They're the ones who made a bet with me to ask you out if I lost... they only did it to look cool to be around me. But I love you now, Tita, I do.."

It was quiet for a few minutes, but I broke the silence. "You're still lying to me?" I was so tired of his lies. "You said that your friends made a bet with you? But a bet has to be agreed on by both parties, meaning that you agreed to that bet!! And you don't love me! You're just afraid to be alone, Kyu! You don't love me, you're only saying that you love me so you won't be by yourself!"

Kyu was speechless. He knew that I was right, he knew that everything that I said was true...

I grabbed Henry's hand and ran out, I grabbed the hand of the man that I loved and ran out of that room..

When we were far from the library, Henry stopped me from running by pulling be back into a hug. I was crying and I didn't even know why. Henry turned me around and held me tightly in his arms. "I'm here.." he said softly. "I'm here for you and I'll always be.." he kissed me on my neck as I continued to cry.

"Yes.." I said as I cried on his shoulder. "I-I'll love to be with you forever, Henry."I answered the question that he asked before Kyu came in the room. "I want to be with you forever, Henry, I love you."

I felt him smiling in my heart. I felt the happiness that he felt deep down inside. As he held my hand, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. I had a man to love and cherish me. He didn't bother to ask about my past, nor did he bother to bring it up. He knew that we were nolonger in the past, and that's what I loved about Henry.

He was always there by my side, even when I didn't know him yet. And I regret it that I always used to walk past Henry without saying a word just because I didn't know him.

The love of your life can be so close to you.. The one person that was made for you can be right next to you...

And that special love that you'll feel will find you no matter what.

Close or near, wide or narrow, long or short, love is always right there.

THE ENDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD lol
