My Sweet Mistake

It was a typical day, there was nothing special with how the sun shines that hot afternoon nor the way the clouds fleetingly drifts away from the skies.But little do they know, that it was a new beginning. Just as summer vacation ends, a new romance springs.

He clenches his fist and says, "Your cologne." My heart skipped a beat. Does he remember? But why does

Our subject teachers came and go, they were discussing about the subject introduction and Angelo was barely listening to them at all but somehow, he still gets everything right. I heard Angelo was studied advanced courses in abroad, I guess he's in the STEM strand because he wants to be a licensed doctor. He always wanted to be one. Only the Biology class seems to keep him interested enough to actually write notes. I found myself smiling. It was a plan from our childhood. He was going to be a doctor of his very own patients and I was going to be a doctor of computers, I wanted to become a computer engineer.Our biology professor gives out his lesson plan and gave us an early break. I ate alone by the bleachers...

She feels like she was about to be down for the rest of the day so I opened a bottle of soda and placed it by her cheeks, I stated, "Next time, you can wear your awful cologne and that way I can find you."

I saw Angelo running towards me, he playfully grabs my hand and take me by the mountain to see  the sunrise. I remembered Angelo's light brown hair with colorful and girly clips that I put on him. I remembered his chubby cheeks that hides his eyes as he smiles so widely. I remember how he would pat my head everytime I fell on my bike or trip by myself. I remember how he would grab my hands with his tiny and soft palms.  He says, "Let's stay here forever and ever and ever." I chuckled, "Wouldn't that be boring to stay in one place even if it's your favorite place." "But this isn't my favorite place."
