I quit.
It’s hopeless. So fucking hopeless. And I’m tired of it. Nothing’s going to happen anyway, and he’ll be gone soon. It’s just a few more months. And these things pass, anyway.
Ugh, why do I have to be so unlucky in this shit? Eversince elem it’s been hopeless. I don’t even get to have a decent guy have a crush on me. There’s one, who, they say, has had a crush on me eversince we became classmates (maybe grade 1), but he’s a pervert. He may be a genius, a walking encyclopedia, but he’s a freaking pervert who would pretend to slip and fall just to see what color your panties are. Come to think of it, maybe he’s the reason why us girls started wearing shorts under our overalls/skirts. Anyway, thankfully he moved to another school during grade 6, somewhere faaaar far away from ours. What bothers me now, though, is he’s invited me at ym, friendster, and multiply. If someone up there loves me, his obsession should be over since high school or grade 6, and this is just for contacts. Yes, I’m prone to paranoia.
Ugh. My first crush was maybe at least ten years older than me, kuya of a friend I made during an office excursion to baguio with mum. I never got to talk to him decently, I think (heck that was when I was six or seven years old, I think), and I never got to see him again. We have a picture of him somewhere, and when I last saw his face it was a wonder why he became my crush.
And then I had a male best friend during back in grade 1 and 2. I don’t even know why we were best friends. I don’t even know if we were. But we often had writing competition, to see who had the sharpest pencil, and who wrote the smallest. He was better. And he was smarter than me. I think. And he was one of the richest in the class. I don’t know why I added that. And girls said he looked cute, and actually a lot from our class had a crush on him, even those from other crushes. I couldn’t see why. And for some reason, we ate lunch together, either in our classroom or at the canteen. There was one time when I was embarrassed and scared at the same time, and I think that made me kinda conscious around him. We were eating our lunch at the cafeteria (I think my ulam was hotdog, as usual) when three of my close girl friends occupied a table near ours. They called me to eat with them, so I picked up my lunch things. But then he stopped me, saying that there was a superstition that if I didn’t finish my meal in one place, that if I transferred seats, I would break up with my future husband and have another one. Being a gullible kid (and he was smarter than me, so I trusted his knowledge more) I got scared (what the) so I remained in my seat. It was really embarrassing though, because it was then I realized I was the only one who ate with a boy, and most of my friends were with our female classmates. Sadly, when I thought about having a crush on him, he moved away when we were in grade three.
Near December of my grade three year, there was a sudden boom in beads and bead jewelry. I became some sort of a bead leader because I had the most number of beads (I dunno why though, I wasn’t interested in it at first) and I sold the most products (which they destroy to get the beads, urgh). I was working with three or four classmates and I was suddenly given the burden of having to choose whether I would tell the truth or suffer the consequences. Too lazy to move, I chose the truth. The bitches asked the most popular question in these games– who’s my effing crush. I pointed out one of our classmates who I kinda had a crush on at that time. The bitches swore they won’t tell anyone about it, as customary of the game and as friends. Then for some reason, two of the bitches went to the guy, who was also helping out with the “business” (no, he’s 100% not gay, I assure you), and they went and chatted the whole breaktime. The girls were laughing like hell, and then to my utter surprise, one of them, the volleyball expert, suddenly shouted “Barbie, may gusto rin sya sayo!” (”Barbie, he likes you too!”) o___o Nothing else happened after that, except he gave me a necklace that didn’t fit my neck, heck it was like a choker, and we became the leaders of the christmas party thingy for our class. Now that I think about it, maybe he wasn’t really my crush afterall. It think I only chose that guy just to answer the effing question and avoid my fingers getting hurt. The ‘crush’ lasted until after grade three ended lol
Three years passed by, and we had a new classmate. I wasn’t really paying any attention tohim. Hell I didn’t look nor talk to him unless I really had to. But when we became groupmates at a music project I realized why a lot of the girls had a crush on him. But I think I had a crush on him for, like a month or something, because he really wasn’t my type, even though he’s a really purty guy.
And… I didn’t like anyone all throughout high school. I knew everyone too much and been classmates with them for too long a time that I really couldn’t have a crush on any of them.
Oh shit. I did have one. He was the son of our art teacher, and he was a medicine student at UP Manila. He often went to school to pick up his mum, and oftentimes, when I stayed up till late at school with my high school friends trying to finish a project or whatever, I would see him play basketball with his old mother and the popular school dog that he himself saved from being a hospital guinea pig. Urgh, once more, my affinity for older guys showed up.
And then.. that bastard. Urgh, I’ve had enough of your vanity and shit. I’ve had enough time thinking. I knew I wouldn’t do it one way or another. Good luck to you, and may you find someone who would reach your fucking standards and keep up with your self-consciousness and vanity.
Urrgh. Maybe I am going to be an old maid. D: Maybe I should’ve moved to another table, afterall.
