I didnt know who my boyfriend was
I didnt know who my boyfriend was when we met. We met on set for a class project. We had to do a short film and I was cast as the female lead. My friend, the director, said she knew someone who could play the supporting lead who would also be my “love interest” in the film. Call me superficial, but my only request was that he wouldnt be ugly.
At the first day of the shoot, I started fixing my hair and retouching my makeup in the bathroom before starting. It was a publiv bathroom behind a supermarket so you had to pass by the girls bathroom door before you got to the guy’s bathroom. At the corner of my eye, a cool green jacket passed by. I didnt see who wore it, what the person looked like at all. I didnt care either way, i just thought to myself. “Cool jacket”. I finished retouching and went back on “set”. Lo and behold, jacket guy was sitting on our table. He was gonna be my on-screen partner. We finished filming and transferred to a bunch of other spots around the place all through out.
While we were chilling out, i asked him why he looked so familiar & if we went to the same school. Apparently, we did. We went to preschool together, and we were classmates too. The reason why he was so familiar is because he had his whole face plastered over one page in our preschool yearbook. No wonder he was so familiar. He remembered me but I couldnt remember him (being my classmate). He teased me about him remembering me, he said he had his reasons. He refused to tell me what those reasons were.
Days past we would talk about anything and everything. Through out filming, he would be so kind. He ran home, through rain that could only be described as a storm, to get me a jacket. After shooting a scene in the rain, he knew I would be cold, so he got me that jacket and a shirt to dry myself with. He made me breakfast so i wouldnt have to spend 200 pesos on overpriced siomai rice. He walked me to the taxi stand and helped me cross the road, keeping me on the inner side the entire time. Asked me if I was okay, if I ate, if I caught a cold or a fever after getting drenched. He was the sweetest.
He even learned how to ride the train to see me at school.
I agreed to go out with him, and only after did he reveal that he had a crush on me during preschool, and after 12 year he still had remembered my chubby cheeks. After 12 years, he remembered the snacks I had packed for recess and their specific flavors. He told me everytime he would meet people from our school he would ask if anyone knew me. So basically, 12 years later, we found each other again. We now have been together ever since (four years) and we dont plan on ever being apart again.
P.S. im glad my friend satisfied my only request 😉
