Up up in the air

One point in our life I am very sure that we feel like hanging in the air, like a balloon that goes up in the sky without any direction.

Its been almost a year from now, 1 day to go to be exact when a boy met a girl. It was a cold evening that night since the spirit of Christmas was present, a group of teens were about to attend a convention in a high place somewhere in North Luzon. Past 11 when the bus departed the station to go a 6 hour drive, the group started to take pictures, opened their salty chips, sang different songs, they were all excited for convention. The boy sits beside his close friend because he actually don't know personally the rest of the guys. The girl that time was sited at his back, beside her was her closest classmate. That was the first time when the boy saw the girl, they were schoolmates in college, the boy was 2 years older so maybe that was one of the reasons why he didn't notice the existence of the girl in school. The convention last for four days, as days went by, the group started to have a bond, a really really great bond, you can see them eat together, laugh together, sing together and ofcourse had pictures together. Every night was a bang! because every night has a new game to play, topic to talk to and trips to do. One night the boy started to notice the girl, it was after they went to a public market where they bought stuffs and sweets that they gave to their love ones. After they bought all the things they needed they rode a cab and went back to their baracks, wew! its dinner time, time to get the food stub and fall in line but the girl feels aweful that time, she had a severe head ache that she can't went to the dinning hall and ate, so the boy get the stub of the girl and the two other girls whose with her to give her comfort. That was the time when the boy felt something for the girl, a feeling that he can't expalin to himself. He was affected of that incident and he started to care for the girl, by that time the boy gets closer and closer to the girl. It was sunday afternoon when they took a ride going back to manila and they arived past 9 in the evening. The boy decided to went down on the bus at the exit of the express way, then he noticed that the girl will also do the same. Happily even exhausted from the trip, the two took a ride home.

From then they started communicating, texting, seeing at the college building, and the best thing was going home together. The boy fell for the girl so deeply that he felt that the girl noticed it, and the group started to tease them. It was their routine for more than two months, until the boy who was sitted beside her in the bus txted the boy and told him that he loves the girl and the girl felt the sameway. The boy was shocked that time but he chose to give them the blessing that they need. The girl and the boy stopped their communication, they didn't see each other for long, even sms was absent, nothing at all, untill the day that the two fell apart because of some reasons, the boy and the girl started to see each other again, txting, going home together, same routine as before. The love of the boy for the girl still remained after of long months without any communication. Sweet txt, sweet smile, leaning on shoulder when sleeping, throwing good conversation. But then the boy was afraid to tell the girl that he really really loves her, he was contented on what they have because he was afraid that because of that love the friendship will be destroyed. As time goes by many things happened, the girl became popular and many suitors came, even of of the closest friend of the boy. So the boy gathered all the courage he have and told the girl about his feeling infront of a chapel, the boy told her that he was not expecying for an answer and he was not expecting anything in return, but a promise that the friendship will still be there. They had a great night that they that the girl appreciated the efforts of the boy. Then one day, the thing that the boy doesn't want to happen came. The girl was cold to the boy and he was really upset beacuse of the scenario, no reply to sms even the boy knew that the girl was replying to her other sms. That was a hard thing for the boy and then he found out base on his instict that the girl is now falling for someone, he saw some comments on their social network and feel that they were happy with each other, he also found out that the two was going out. Silently the boy was crying inside because he was affected on whats happening, lots of questions appeared on his mind, whats the sweet stuff for? I thought were ok, I thougt were good, I thought were happy with each other. The boy noticed that it was just all his assumptions, he felt that he was floating in the air, he was left hanging with no explanation, until now he is feeling the same way, but all he can do is to force himself to be happy and move on :(((
