Strangers.

We were two different people living in our own worlds. We did not know each other until life decided to let our paths cross. It was during high school, and just like most teenagers seeking to belong, I have actively engaged in school organizations and activities. One of those was the supreme student council. I can no longer remember which position in the org I held. It was our first encounter. He was also elected to hold one of the positions in the council (I honestly could not remember which) and since then we greeted each other casually whenever we meet in the school grounds. I was a cheeky, innocent little girl back then and to me he was a quiet, reserved guy - not too sociable (I guess not with me, in my opinion). He came off  as "slightly masungit" for a "makulit na bata" that I am. The encounter was nothing significant, but little did we know that it was the start of something great - a pending friendship waiting to blossom.
