Friends to Lovers
episode 1
I was in Grade 7 at when I first fell in love with a girl who always smile at the hallway.
She was quiet, simple, and beautiful in her own way. Every time she smiled, it felt like the whole classroom became brighter.
Every recess, I would always try to get her attention, sometimes I would pass by her classroom on purpose.
Sometimes I would speak louder when my friends were around her.
Sometimes I would stay near her just to see if she would notice me.
But most of the time, she didn’t.
eyahhh
naksssss hard to get!
It honestly hurt to feel invisible to someone you liked so much.
When our school held a intramurals and different competitions, I joined many activities just to impress her.
eyahhh
i will join activities to impress her!
I joined;
Basketball.
Track in field .
Dance.
volleyball.
Even activities I wasn’t good at.
Not because I wanted to win…
But because I wanted her to notice me.
eyahhh
i swear I will empress her by my moves! but I'm just kiddingHAHAHAHA
One day, after one of the games, she finally talked to me.
eyahhh
Yowwwwww finally she noticed me!❤️🩹
In that moment, I felt so happy.
From that day on, we slowly started talking to each other more often.
Until eventually, we became friends.
It felt amazing to become close to the person I used to admire from afar.
We practiced together for school activities.
We bought water together after rehearsals.
Sometimes I even treated her to snacks using my allowance.
my friend even started teasing us.
viev
omgggg did you flirt jaweee??
eyahhh
Broooo! Are you for real?
Audrey
Are you two together my friends?
We would both laugh and deny it.
eyahhh
Actually no!HAHAHAHAHHA
Jaweee
HAHAHAHHAHAHA nooo silly!
But deep inside, hearing those words made me happy.
As time passed, I got to know her better.
She wasn’t just pretty.
She was kind.
Funny.
And always there whenever I needed someone to talk to.
She became one of the most important people in my life.
But as our friendship grew stronger, something inside me slowly changed...
At first, I liked her so much.
I wanted her attention.
I wanted her to like me back.
But over time, I became comfortable with just being her friend i stopped expecting anything more.
eyahhh
uhmmmm maybe we’re really just meant to be friends owww!!!
And honestly, I became okay with that.(okay nlng)
Then one day, after practice, my aunt pick up me.
eyahhh

Jaweee
Yeahh see you tomorrow eyahh!
When I'm in home she texted me!
eyahhh
owww! It's you! Hello
Jaweee
uhm can I ask something?
She is super shy at first and laugh before text me.
“At first, I thought she was just being playful to me” but I was shock
Jaweee
As time passed, you became important to me.
I stayed quiet while I'm in my phone
Jaweee
I think I’ve fallen for you.
My heart suddenly started beating fast!! like whattt??....
It felt strange because those were the exact words I had wanted to hear before.
But this time…
Things were different.
The feelings I once had for her were no longer as strong as before.
I didn’t know what to say immediately.
I didn’t want to hurt her.
So I decided to be honest.
eyahhh
I’m really happy you told me that!!
eyahhh
But I think I became too comfortable with us being friends!
I saw the sadness in her text
And at that moment, I realized something painful.
Sometimes feelings arrive at the wrong time.
When I liked her before, she never noticed me.
And when she finally did…
I had already learned how to let go.
But after that conversation, something changed inside me again.
I still looked for her every day.
I still missed her whenever we didn’t talk.
And being with her still made me happier than anyone else could.
That’s when I realized the truth.
Maybe I never truly stopped loving her.
Maybe I was just afraid of hoping again....
Not as two strangers.
But as two people whose feelings came at different times…
