I met jared in high school. He was this little boy who likes moffats. (boy band during that time ). I have a friend back then who likes the same music and I always find them just sitting in a corner singing. That was my very first memory of him. He was silly, loud and very hard headed. That time, I never even thought that he will mean something to me someday.
Second Year 2000
We were never close nor friends, we were just two people who happened to have the same class, but all of that changed on our second year when Samantha came into the picture. You see Sam was a city girl who just moved to our town with her family. She was cute, fair and smart. I guess half of our class had a crush on her. She happened to sit next to me. We became friends, it wasn’t hard for me because she was very nice and always have stories to share. That entertained me during algebra. So one day Sam asked me about Jared. She said she thought he was cute. I just laughed and said, of all the guys here that likes you, why him? She said why not. I looked at him and thought, well he’s not too bad but he is just all over the place, always the center of crazy things and pranks. Just before i could say something Sam asked me the unthinkable. She asked me to tell him she’s having a party on Saturday and she wants him to go there. She said she will be so glad if I can convince him to go. At that moment, I knew I was in for a mission and that is to have this crazy guy be my friend’s boyfriend.
And so i started to befriend him. Turns out he’s sillier than I thought. He comes up with jokes every five seconds and I just listened to it all. So I asked him what his plans are for the weekend. For a second there he gave me a weird look. I gave it back to him and said don’t even think about it. He laughed and said yeah that is just weird and he said he doesn’t have any plans. Boy was I glad.
And yes you got it right. He made it to Sam’s party. Sam’s face just glowed as soon as she saw him walked in and then she looked at me and said thank you. I was proud of myself. I thought “hey I can be a professional match maker”. From that moment they became really close, almost in love. Every morning i would see Jared staring at her and she would just giggle. Kinda annoyed me at some point haha.
Everyday she talks about him and I would approach Jared giving him her love notes. Yes i was their bridge. Everything was doing so good. They became official. They would go home together everyday, eat lunch together and stuff. But I was just getting used to it all when Sam told me one morning that she’s leaving. Her dad was assigned to a different location and that just means they are moving. She said her parents got her paperwork already for another school and she is all packed up. I asked her if Jared knows about it. I saw her eye got teary when she said No. I thought she was gonna tell him anyways. But she didn’t.
That morning was different. I still have to give Jared a letter except this time its a good bye letter. I guess she didn’t have enough courage to say good bye to him in person. As i saw Jared reading the letter, I felt his pain. I just want to hug him but I didn’t. After he read it, he looked at me, said thanks and walked away.
The next day seemed like everything was back to normal. He’s over at his spot doing crazy things with his friends again. Time to time I would caught him glancing my way and staring at Sam’s chair. He would look away as soon as he saw me looking at him. I guess after Sam left he was so sad but couldn’t let his emotions show because he was not known to be the sad boy, he was the always happy, silly one. But i know better. I always approach him when his alone and talk to him about things, just little hints to let him know that I know and he can be him with me.That was the start of our real friendship.
We started doing things together – home works, projects and all that. He was a fun guy, a friend that is so worth keeping. I remember him always looking out for me and if i miss school he would show up at my house with notes from classes i missed. By now you can imagine how much our classmates thought we’re together but we always laughed at them.
We had so much fun together that we even spend weekends together riding bikes on the hill. He was the one who taught me how to ride a bicycle. We even bought matching bikes. He became really close to my dad and brother too, to the point where my dad asks me everyday when he’s coming so he can go out with his friends knowing Jared will be there to keep me company. And yes he would stay the night and we would just be talking on the roof top staring at the moon all night and go to school in the morning all sleepy.
Third Year 2001
All our classmates got used to us being so close that they all just assumed that we’re just denying the fact that we’re in love. Funny. Until one night I found myself thinking about him, we were sending text messages back and forth and when he said good night he said “love you” I just smiled. I sent him back a message and said “love you too.” That felt good but I knew he meant it in a different way and I wonder what I said to him meant for me. I slept thinking.
The next morning our teacher told us that we are going to have a play. Sigh. I never like plays. He looked at me and wink. He knew what i was thinking. Our classmate set a place for us to practice. It was one of our classmates house. They have this really big lot with mango trees everywhere. Perfect for snacks. I was never really looking forward to that anyway. During lunch time, he came up to me and said “hey why don’t we make a scene at the practice tomorrows?” I didn’t know what he meant so i gave him a weird face. He laughed and said I’ll tell you tomorrow. I agreed and he started walking away. I yelled to ask what time he’s going to come at the practice. He looked my way and said I’ll pick you up. I was left wondering. I have no idea if he’s joking or not, probably was, knowing his silly face. But something inside of me smiled and wondered if he meant it.
Practice Day.
I was facing back and forth as the time comes. The time that I’ll find out the answer to the question that kept me up all night. Is he really coming?.
