How we began

Unlike other couples who met in a spectacle way, I met him when I was in 4th grade. I was the president in the classroom though I have only been there for one year. He was the kind of boy you wouldn't notice- quiet, shy and only hangs out with the other boys. Of course, our story did not begin with such young age though I have had crushes on that time. We were once again classmates the next year. This time, we talked more. I have always been thought as someone who is motherly with my height and the way I act. So during that time, he thought of me as someone who thinks and acts like an adult. My other classmates call me "Mama", and I think he did too even if we are the same age. He always say that everyday of that year, I gave him coins as to symbolize the act of giving "baon" which means giving someone allowance. I never knew why I did such a thing. When 6th grade arrived, we were not classmates. Though, during the Sinulog of that year, I apparently privately messaged him in Facebook, asking for his number. I don't remember why I did that, but I was so persistent in finding out his number. He did not have a phone back then, but he made me think he did. When he finally got one, he gave me his number. I guess, that's how it all started.

Time progressed, and he transferred to another school. We texted back and forth. He later on told me he likes me, and I only thought of him as a friend (how stupid was I). He visits me in my school, and comforts me in times where I just felt lost, or when my boyfriend and I have misunderstanding. I talk about everything to him, but I never saw him any more than a friend. It was 9th grade when I realized I was slowly developing feelings for him. I was heartbroken over someone else, and he was still there. That's when I realized he was always there and he sees me even the times I felt invisible. We began seeing each other, and I told my mother about him (which is the first). We finally became official of the Christmas Eve of 2013. I know our time is incomparable to others who have been together for a long time, my time with him feels longer. I cannot see a future without him, and I cannot imagine without him by my side. I'm always going to be grateful he saw me and accepted me for who I am. So how did you begin?
