June came and another school year started. More and more responsibilities came to me as a student. The course I was taking wasn’t a joke at all. Assignments, projects and other requirements became harder and increased in number. Sometimes I didn’t think I did sleep at all. Anyway, enough of that . The big question that time was … will I ever see “him” again? I wasn’t really ready for anything. I wasn’t ready for butterflies in my stomach again, nervousness, palpitations, rapid breathing and most of all stuttering talks and awkward conversations. I had some realizations this year and here’s some of them: 1. I don’t know why but most of the time when time becomes cruel I always had to see him in front of the elevator or inside. What’s with the elevator and him? 2. Maybe you’re wondering why I said those things in number 1. Well, let me tell you how this happened. There was this one time that I had to SUFFER inside the elevator because I was almost ALONE with him. I was at the ground floor with some of my classmates and other people. Our destination was the 8th floor but my classmates had to go the 5th floor first so that means I’ll be going ahead of them. Here’s the worst part. The moment we reached the 5th floor and the elevator door opened, I looked up and saw someone I didn’t want to see at all. A guy in black and white stripes jacket was right in front of me and looking at me. I was like “oh ” again. And then the physiological response in my body started. I really thought he wasn’t going to ride because I was there but I was DAMN WRONG about that! After all the embarrassing moments and awkwardness I had in front of him he still had the guts to get in and stand right in front of me. Good thing he wasn’t facing me at all. That would be really … ugh. I don’t even know how to describe it. During that elevator ride time went too slow. It was too slow!!!! It felt minutes to reach the 8th floor. And unfortunately he had the same destination so that means I still get to see him. DAMN IT. It ends there. The next time I saw him was just really random. I just saw him at the elevators with my bestfriend. That was it. There were other times when I saw him but unexpectedly as well. Like there was this one time where we had to buy food downstairs and on our way I saw him talking to some police(?) about his car parking or something. I ignored him of course. Then on July he celebrated his birthday and knowing my friends I knew they had something in mind again. Those girls texted him and greeted him which isn’t a bad thing after all. The only thing irritating was they had to put my name first. So obviously it looked like it was my plan! Anyway, it was his birthday so I had to be nice. Well, those were some of the MINOR things that happened during this year. I bet you’re wondering what the MAJOR thing is. Before I start narrating, I just want all of you to know that this is probably the mo
