I kept flipping the pages. Searching for the name of someone familiar. I was right about to give up, until I found the perfect name. I smiled and glanced at the name and the picture next to it. It was three years ago. I couldn't remember it straight, but flashback floated in my head.
That picture reminded me of the day I first saw the person. He was so kind and funny, also helpful. He reached out his hand and introduced himself to me.
"Hey, I'm L (Initial of the person)." he said it softly.
"Hey, I'm Y (My initial)." I replied.
"Nice to meet you, Y," he answered back.
"You, too... So, can you show things around here. I'm not used to the situation. I need a little help and one guide to show me around," I asked politely.
"Sure... I'd love to. And, plus, I'm free today," he answered happily.
"Thanks... Umm... See you at lunch, then," I walked pass him and smile.
I snapped out of the flashback. It was unforgettable moment. He held my hand so tight when we introduced ourself to each one. I was smiling all the time, so was he. We were just adorable together. I was still looking at that picture. I never realized tears were already there down my cheeks. I couldn't stand it no more. He was the first guy friend I've ever met. No boys introduced themselves first when they met me. He was the first one who told me his name and shook my hand lightly.
I closed the album. It made me cry for more if I keep looking at each name and pictures. There were tons of happy moment I've shared with all my friend, especially him. The first picture, on the first page, is the picture of me. I had my peace sign. It was one cute picture of me. I also had my sweet smile and my perfect hair-day. I didn't know why that day was all just so damn flawless. But, I loved it.
Then, on the next page, there were my friend, D (her intial) and De (the other one who has D for the first letter) and myself. We were smiling and making some funny faces. I was so weird and cute, I think. D was so full of herself. De was just regular crazy girl who has the best funny face. We were just so fit together. I was in the middle all the time. So, I was like the exact point.
The happiest moment is on the last three pages. There were me and L. We were at the dance prom. I was talking about stuff with him, but someone took a picture of it. And the picture turned into a romantic one. He was laughing in that picture. I was too. Then, there was a picture when I dance with him. I was leaning my head on his shoulders. He wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped mine around his neck. The spotlight was spotting us. We didn't notice.
I smiled when I saw that picture. L and I were so cute together. But, we never catched our guts to say we like each other. And, unfortunately, he couldn't say it straight. When it got closer to the main things about those words, we stuttered when we talked. Then, we bursted out stupid reasons and excuses.
"I wish I can go back in time. I wanna say it to you..." I said to myself and I inhaled some air. I regret it. I regret losing the chances which might never come again. I've lost my first and maybe last chance to be in a relationship with you.
Those moments I've cherished with him and all of them were unforgettable, lovable, meaning-ful, one of a kind, and rare moments I will always remember in my life. It was the time I met LOVE. The first time LOVE introduced itself to me. The first time I understood what FRIENDSHIP is. The first time I got the meaning of RELATIONSHIP. The first time I smiled even if I was crying inside. The first time I talked in different languages. The first time I knew that that was my first time knowing everything. I've cherished everything with L and others. With my two besties, D and De. They were so thought-ful and helpful for me.
