Typical story of childhood friends turned to lovers but their love began into tragic one.
<Darrel>



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



I always hear that thought here in my mind, wonder where it might came from but no one; nothing’s there but me all alone by myself. I used to ignore it but every time I did, it kept on bothering me and it’s getting louder and louder but what else I can do about this. So irritating. Pissing me off so badly.



My day turned into nightmare and embarrassment that I can’t even lift my head up to face people laughing face. My head was so down that might reach the ground until I hit a girl by a chance. She’s so gorgeous and famous around the campus but she’s a bit down to earth as I look at her calm face but not.



“What the heck! Watch where you going. Stupid.” A mean sweet mighty voice came from her mouth that made me nodded and apologized then dash to my respected classroom.



I can finally breathe. I’m far away from people judgmental eyes. I can finally be at ease but heck no.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



Here it goes again. I can’t stop it. Those words keep on ruin my mind but gladly I’m alone so I can shout or scream.



"AAHHRRR!"

“Wow, that’s too loud you know.” A female voice surprises me and again it’s her. The girl from earlier and now she’s being cool kind to me. What the heck she’s thinking by now but who cares anyway.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



Here it goes again and it’s non-stop. Errr!



“Anyway, what the heck is happening to you?” she asked me with kindness but I won’t fall for that. I guess; I just keep my mouth shut.

“It’s nothing to do with you. Err!” I tried to reply clearly to her and I tried not to show how this thought pissed me off like hell.

“Geez, it’s my business so tell me.” She kept on insisting that irritate me too.

“Just back off. You wouldn’t believe to me even I say it to you.” I tried not to cry in front of her; a girl.

“Try me.” She insists. How bother but to make her stop I must tell her clearly.

“Fine. Since I got an accident few months ago, I kept hearing thoughts that I don’t remember if I said that or what…” I finally start speaking about it.

“Thoughts like what?” she asked with care and curiousness written on her face that almost made me giggles in secret.

“Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow. It keeps on bugging me…” I replied to her as I look away from her to the window.

“I see.” She said in a tone of tease that pissed me off.

“It’s not funny, Luna.” I’m so damn pissed off but she’s seriously calm.

“I’m not laughing but you know Darrel, you must answer that riddle. So maybe, it would stop bugging all the time. That’s what I thought.” She told me then walked away that exactly our classmates came in as the bell rang.



Luna is my irritation/crush/best friend in a distance but she’s always there and she kept noticing if something happen on me. She’s always been there since were both kids until now. Even though she’s so far from me right now, she won’t let me feel I’m alone.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow. What the heck it the meaning of it? It keeps on bothering me but maybe sooner or later I might answer that weird riddle until a loud voice from a lady; our professor called me and interrupted my thinking.



“Mr. Rossford, would you like to answer the question on the board?” she asked me as she notice that I’m spacing out that made my classmates laughs about it. I’m so embarrass.

“Knock it off.” A pissed voice from Luna made them slight silent but kept on whispering something about me but the heck I care now.



As I came near to the board and tried to answer the equation written on it, it so easy for a mind like mine.

2[2+4(2+5+3-4)-2] /8 =?

= 2[2+4(6)-2]/8

= 2[6(6)-2]/8

=2[36-2]/8

= 2(34) /8

= 68/8

= 8.5

Everyone was shock to what I did but our professor seems like expecting me to do something like that. Yes, I’m intelligent but not to the point I’m showing off but she’s one kind of professor that gave me courage to do so. So in return I always gave my best shut for my studies. Not even minding those laughing faces at me yet I can’t help it to put my head down as I pass through them.

I return to my seat and again I look outside like it was no sweat at all but I’m damn nervous while answering it. Focus only I did.



DIINNGG DONNGG!!



The bell rang again after three subjects for this morning. Now, lunch break and I’m alone again but not in our room but to our roof top. So quiet but not anymore.



“Free! And quiet right?” a familiar voice of a girl and my classmate and also a friend of…

“Luna, let’s go eat.” She invited her on the roof top who definitely afraid of heights.

Yes, Luna was afraid of heights but I bet she can walk with tension on the roof. It makes me laugh.

“Gina. We’re not alone. Look.” Luna told her as she pointed me to where I’m sitting now.

“Oh, I see the freak guy.” Gina said with a mean voice not like Luna at all.



Geez, what an irritation but I must ignore them while I’m eating this meal of mine.



Gina is a type of girl who loves to cut classes but as she met Luna she change a lot. She began to attend classes yet there’s one thing never change to her; she speaks what she’s seeing and hearing to somebody else and  because of that thing made me a little pissed off over her but I have this feeling that she likes me as she glance at me like-whatever it is.



“Don’t mind me here.” I just told them in my cold-hearted voice that made Luna grin that I never saw at her from then.

“Gina…” Luna called her but she just stared at me and I can feel that.



Geez, what a girl. She so obvious. Anyway, my attention went to Luna as she stood up and pour her cold water on my head. She’s so damn bad ass girl toward me but not when were alone.



“Finally, I got your attention, Gina.” Luna said to her with mean teased voice I ever heard from her before. She seems like she’s jealous over it. It makes me laugh.

“Sorry.”  Gina immediately apologized to her about it but I can no longer stop this.



HAHAHAHA!!!



I laugh out of the blue and I can tell they’re staring at me.



“Sorry, your pair so cute; can’t stop any no longer. Funny.” I outburst my laughs towards them and they’re having puzzled face.

“Darrel, quit it. Riddle coming after you.” Luna reminds me about that bothering thoughts inside my mind that made me stop.

“I know.” I just replied then stood up and Gina was surprised to what I did to her friend Luna then I left the roof top.



<Luna>



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



As he left the roof top, Gina looked at me with surprised written all over her face and take note she’s blushing so red. Geez, so innocent around me but can’t help it I’m 1 year younger to her. So instead of taking care of me, I take care of her. Sigh.



“Are you guys dating?” she finally asked it.

“Not really but to others eyes you can say that.” I replied as what my mind told me so.

“So you’re dating.” She kept on insisting.

“Fine, we have a thing but not that so deep.” I told her while I took a sip on my bottle of water and she kept this weird look at me. Looks like ‘want to know more’ but heck we’re not in relation.

“Gina, we’re not there yet…” I tried to say to her but she interrupted me.

“But you want to.” She kinda finished for me but that’s not what I wanted to say.

“We’re taking it slow; not even in a hurry. We’re just happy being like this to one another. Time will tell, Gina.” I said with calmness on my face but why my heartfelt different as I said it.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



Geez, now its starting again. I can hear it again. Like what happening to Darrel. But I must not lose to it instead must answered it.



“Luna, you’re right but what if that time you said took your love away from you?” Gina seriously asked me that shook my head and caught my attention to her. I didn’t think about that.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



Geez, what’s the meaning of this?! Wait a minute, is that thought have connection to what happened to the scarped diary compilation I found at the park? I found it same day of the accident of Darrel. Our first very date turned into that situation that I don't want to remember. It pains me a lot.



“Sound of the broken vow…” I whispered while Gina picked her lunch box and headed to the door step.

“Luna!” she called me.

“Coming.” I replied but still thinking about it.



The ring of bell as you recall and make it louder so you can remember clearly but what about the sound of the broken vow? I’m still puzzled by that part. Anyway, this time is for our second period.



Darrel was a type of guy you wouldn’t dream to be with but he has the personality you might like. He’s neat than me, he so presentable as his aura and every time I’m with him I feel safe and no one could dare to touch me. Just by his aura, no one can harm me. I want to possess it but I’m not her girl though it might lead to that. He’s caring and fragile like what happening to him right now but as I notice he’s tough whenever I’m involved on a fight. He’s my life savior and knight who always watch behind me.



Anyway, after the accident I spend lot of times with him and his family but as soon he got well, my family and I went off the town and lived away for months. Now, it’s been two months since I came back here and seemed nothing change between us; we’re going too well but as time goes by, something’s change.



“Darrel, why you left too soon. I never thought you and Luna…” Gina began to tease him but he was too calm though Gina is clinging on him. It pissed me off.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



That again. Geez, every time I’m thinking of Darrel that thought flashes. Is there something between us link to that riddle? Anyway, I going to find out but for now-



“Gina, your next class isn’t here.” I break her clinging scene to Darrel.

“Oh! Thanks. Later.” Gina shook her head then went off on a rush.



But I can feel Darrel’s smirking at me. I’m trembling. No. Not here.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



“Real, I can hear it too.” I told him out of the blue so just he could look at me in a different way without any meaning but still normal approach.

“What?” he asked me with surprised tone but I kept on walking to my seat.



He can’t get near me when the eyes of our classmates lurking around. I can feel he’s not well since he came to school this morning. Now, seeing him in pain though he doesn’t show it to others I can no longer be in silent.



“Sir, can I bring Mr. Rossford at the clinic it seems he’s not feeling well since this morning.” I excuse so him and I to have a little chat and the good thing is our professor is my uncle so he allowed us.



While walking along the silent corridor, I can feel his puzzled gaze on me.



“Luna?” he tried to asked something but I didn’t even glance at him and still walking.

“What’s wrong?” he finally asked what’s going on to me as he caught my wrist that made me turn around to him with my uncontrollable-

“Why you’re crying?” he asked as he saw my tears on my calm worry face.

“I don’t know…” I tried to lie.

“Something’s bugging you, am I right?” he guessed and he was right that made me nodded.

“You can tell me, you know I’m here for you” he told me with such calm and caring voice that I’m so into it.

“Darrel please ignore me. Ignore me, please. I don’t what to hurt you again. Please Darrel.” I told him while I cry non-stop but I’m still trying to control it yet I can’t.

“Geez, you’re so fragile. That’s the thing I can’t do.” He hugged me out of comfort but with passionate love.

“Luna, you saved me and I thank you for that…” he continued but I stop him before he could tell more sweet things to me.

“Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.” I told him that surprised him with doubt.



As we entered the infirmary gladly the nurse out for a moment then I sat down while he kept on standing cross to me.



“Listen carefully to what I’m going to say…” I said then took a deep breath and released as I start on speaking.

“Wear this ring as a sign of pledge of my love and loyalty to you; in sickness and in health I will bind myself to you for eternity.” I said to him like a marriage vow.



He was surprised but he’s smiling to me then he kneeled down and took my hands to his chest and pledge.



“Wear this ring as a sign of pledge of my love and loyalty to you; in sickness and in health I will bind myself to you for eternity.” He pledged to me though we don’t have any rings but as that scenario I won’t forgot for the rest of my life but…

“Darrel, ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.” I told him that made him stood up immediately then his face turned into puzzled sad face; I guess. I’m going to cry as I saw his face like that then he run out off the clinic but not just the clinic but out of the school. I followed him and outside of the gate-

DARREL!



<Darrel>



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



Where am I, I could hear voices, noises of cars and people were out of shock written on their faces. What happened? So blur. Luna…?



“Darrel please hear me. Hear this bell. Please, Darrel.” A sweet worried voice from my best friend slash my crush in a distant called me while I heard a ringing sound of a tiny bell she’s holding.

“I can hear you idiot.” I tried to tell her but my voice was cracking one.

“Darrel, I’m with you so please hang on.” She told me while she’s crying.

Damn she’s so fragile but cute and I loved it. But why I did run away? Ah, I remember now, as she made me recall, I rush out just to buy her a simple cake in front of our school. I’m so stupid idiot she ever fell in love with.

“Darrel, we’re near so hold on, please don’t let go.” she kept on talking to me so I won’t sleep.

“Luna, sorry I run out…” I tried to tell her.

COUGH!

“It’s nothing.” She replied so calm but still crying.

“…I just want to give you present because I didn’t gave you anything since that day…” I can still manage to speak though my voice is cracking.

“We’re here now. Hang on.” She kept telling to hang on.

“Luna…I…” I tried to tell her something but she wouldn’t let me.

“Don’t say anything! Come back then I listen to whatever you said.” She commanded me with her high tone that I never heard since we’re kids. It made me smile.



Then slowly, I’m entering a huge room, apparatus are all set up in places. Ah, operating room. I’m getting unconscious. It’s getting blur and blurry than I thought it could be. Like that day.

TET-TET…TET…



<Luna>



“Please be safe.” That’s what I keep telling on myself as Darrel stayed at the operating room. I can’t hold it and thank goodness her parents came.

“Luna, how is he?” a caring voice came from his mother who has a baby face and pleasing aura like him.

“Operating…” I still holding my ground but as her mother look at me, I break down.



I cried non-stop like the day he got his first accident near at the park where we should meet and now at school front gate and on my very eyes. It was clearly hurt more than before.



“I don’t want to lose him. I never told him what I feel.” I cried out loud while I’m crying on his mother comforting arms.



Then just a few minutes, one by one of his siblings and few of his cousins came and saw me crying again like that day. They never put grudge on me to what happen back then till now. There so kind and understanding also warm welcome to let me be one of their family. I shouldn’t be here with them but they still do care.



After 3 hours, the doctor came out and talk to us. Gladly, he’s safe but it’s up to him if he wants to live again. He’s in coma again. I need to be stronger than before.



“Luna…you’re in charge too.” A calm but teasing voice came from his lovely cousin Ylanne. Ylanne was so close to me and Darrel. Seems like we’re her parents but not. I just get along with Ylanne. She’s only around 10 years old while I’m just 17.

“Yah Luna, we’re going to celebrate your birthday with him at the hospital.” His big brother tease me too though I know they’re worried about Darrel’s situation.



Yah, the day after tomorrow is my birthday and I wish he’s fully recover or maybe just wake up. I want to spend my birthday with him ‘coz last year I didn’t.



“Luna, go and talk to him for now then come back tomorrow.” His loving mother told me that but I’m not like that and she knew about it.

“No, I’ll come back later.” I have my final word then went inside the recovery room.



As I look at him, my tears began to fall again. I sit next to him and hold his hand. Sweet but heartbreaking if he doesn’t even make any slight moves to live.



“Darrel, I will hate you if you won’t live with me. I must tell you something and you need to tell me something right?



Please hear me. Darrel, I love you.” I finally said it to him and I can feel his presence that made me shook my head and look at him.



“Darrel, ring this bell; ring it loud for me to hear your voice of love.” I told him what runs inside my mind then I kissed his forehead and whispered to his ear:

“I won’t kiss your lips unless you’re awake.” I teased him a bit then I’m off but as I open the door his pulse rate changes.



What the?!



“Aunt please call a doctor now!” I rushly told them and they did rush.



The doctor came in as we waited outside.



“His pulse rate change as I said goodbye…” I told to his mother.

“He doesn’t want you to leave like before, Luna.” His mother told me while comforting my shoulder so I won’t break down again.



Gladly, his doctor said that he has quick recovery that made them put him into a private room so he could relax even more. I’m so tired but I must not. I didn’t go home, so aunt; his mother called my house that I’ll be staying at the hospital again. Mom, dropped by to gave my clothing until tomorrows uniform and even check on Darrel’s situation.



“You should marry him.” My mom teased me that made them laugh.

“She’s welcome to our family.” Ylaane told my mom that made them laugh even more then I change my clothes.



As I went out of the comfort room, it so quiet because the person only left was me and his mother. I sat next to him again and tried to read his favorite book that I gave to him as his present for his birthday. He loves to read a lot but classical novel of Shakespeare. He collected his book and now I’m reading Romeo and Juliet, the only book he doesn’t finish yet. At the middle of my reading, I felt tired and I want to go to sleep beside him. I glance to him and even caress his hair that made me slowly fell as sleep.



<Darrel>



Ah, where am I? ah, not in operating room but no doubt I’m still at the hospital. Ah, there’s mom sleeping at the couch not far from me. Geez, I can’t move but I can still feel something’s warm on my head.



Ah, that smell; like that day she didn’t go home. Heh, sweet. Her scent made me feel calm and comfortable enough to sleep again. But wait I must get up, I need to tell her something.



Wake up! Wake up Darrel! Wake up you stupid body! Wake up!



I keep shouting to myself and little by little I can feel that I can move my finger one by one but slowly.



C’mon! Darrel, wake up! You need to tell her! No time to lose! Idiot wake up!

Shit! C’mon Darrel move! Move! MOOVVEEE!!!!!!




“Darrel? Can you hear me?” her sweet voice asking me with tardiness on her face. I guess she felt my movements though I can’t still my body.



Shit, move! MOVE!



“Darrel, wake me. Ring this bell so loud so I can hear you.” She told me then she kissed my forehead again and lay down next to me.



C’mon speak!



“I can…hear you…idiot…” I finally whispered to her but my eyes still shut.

“Darrel!” she calls my name on her jumpy voice but not too loud that my mother would wake up.

“Wear this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of my vow.” I whispered to her with my cracking weak voice.

“Darrel, open your eyes, please…I need to tell you something as you wake up so please…” she’s begging me while crying. I want to but I can’t. I can’t still move only my lips.

“Oh Darrel…I guess I’m dreaming…you won’t wake up so quick…still I’m waiting for you.” She said with broken voice then lay down beside me again.



Geez, you’re not dreaming!



Wait why I’m the only one can hear my voice? And my body won’t even move? Oh, c’mon.



YOU STUPID IDIOT, WAKE UP! SHE’S GOING TO LEAVE YOU SO, WAKE UP STUPID BODY! MOVE!



Geez, the only thing I can do is to feel; I can’t even see what’s going on by now but I can feel and smell her and their presence, I can still tell who it might be.



PLEASE BODY OF MINE MOVE!



I keep screaming to myself.



<Luna>



“DARREL!” I shouted his name as I saw his huge body movement.



He suddenly sit up and his eyes were wide open as he catching his breathe that I can see his crystal bluish grey eyes and also made me cry.



“Miss me?” he asked me with smirk on his face like that day but his voice still cracking and weak. He surprised me by that.

“YOU IDIOT! You always make me worry to death.” I shouted to him while my tears won’t stop from falling itself.

“Geez, Luna…you’re so fragile…I’m dizzy.”  He told me then I lay him down so he could relax again.

“Don’t get up like that, you’re wounds might open okay?” I told him with care that I never knew I had.

“Ei, Luna…I can still remember what you said while I’m in coma and you can kiss me now.” He even remembered that after all. Geez, what a waste but cute.

“I won’t until you fully recover.” I told him in mean way but I kiss his chick.

“I’ll wait for that day, so you better to recover quickly.” I even tease him though he’s still in fragile state.

Heh, I kinda love teasing him whenever his fragile. Cute and lovely his reaction could be. Love it.

“Luna, ahm…be my wife.” He suddenly said it to me while he’s lying down on his bed so weak but he’s still cute as ever.

“I won’t answer you now but maybe tomorrow I will.” I told him as I went out for a moment to make a call to my mom.

“So you better to hurry up.” I teased him while I’m smiling then I call my mom.



<Darrel>



Yes, I’m finally awake. I could see her now. Sigh, I must hurry to get well so I can be with her again. It never change, the way I feel about her.



“I love her. I love Luna.” I told to myself as I feel relief then I glance to where my mom was.



She smiling at ease that made me even smiled more.



“Mom.” I call her and she did come to me then kiss my forehead.

“Get well soon and don’t worry anymore, okay? Everyone in our family likes her specially Ylanne.” She told me that I nodded.



I never felt this before, you know in my first day of accident. Now I feel complete, so complete that I never imagine I could have. Then my mom, went to the couch to take a nap and Luna came back.



“Tomorrow I’ll be here after school.” She told me then she sat next to me. She smiling with relief on her face and it so wonderful that I wanted to kiss her but I can’t. I still can’t move harshly.

“I’ll wait.” I told her that made her caress my hair again.



Ring this bell; ring it loud to hear the sound of the broken vow.



I heard it again but no. This time it’s not a broken vow and I won’t let that happen between us. I won’t ever let it happen.



“Ahm, Darrel…you’re the missing piece on my life, so please be safe.” She whispered to my ear while my eyes are closed. I’m sleeping but not too deep.

“I ring this bell; I ring it loud for you to hear my broken vow. But I wonder if my vow is still broken yet I thank you for being there for me.” She keep talking to me though I can hear it but I can’t move to comfort her but I know she can feel what I’m feeling right now. I wish.



<Luna>



Now that he’s awake, I can barely tell why my mind thought about something that my heart agreed. It seems like I’m hiding something that I know somehow, something lingering inside me; a feeling that always thought about him, only Darrel. But I don’t admit it so I stay away but I can no longer do that. Not anymore.



As I look at him now, sleeping peacefully; my heart and my mind unites and feeling calm. I’m not afraid like before; sad, worry that so negative that I will run away from.



“Darrel…please be safe…” I whispered to myself as I watch him sleep.



In this very night it felt like it’s a long night. Just awhile ago I’m crying; now I’m relief and fine but can I face him tomorrow like nothing happened? Should I ignore him again when he comes back to school? Or should I let it out now?



Those things bugging me while watching him silently but I shouldn’t worry about that. Time will tell me if I should or not but heck no! I should wait for that time comes along. I should be prepared and ready for anything will happen…I guess.



“It’s already 4 o’clock better to get some sleep.” I told to myself then I lay down on the couch next to his mom who was already sleeping.



<Darrel>



It’s been almost one month since I got hospitalized, now here I am again to the school though I’m still on my recovery but until I saw her with her friend I have no second thought inside my head either that thought were nothing now only…



“LUNA!” I called her that made others eyes look at me seems like they want to bite me. Their eyes never change towards me that made me unfriendly to others. My head was to down that almost touch the ground as I walk toward her with Gina; her only friend who she could trust too.

“You look well today, Darrel.” Gina greeted me so pleasant that made me smile slightly.

“Don’t be so good around him; you’re not that kind one.” Luna teased her.

“Well yeah but to him and you I could be.” Gina told her so straight forward that made me giggled but I suddenly stop as I felt their eyes again lurking around us and whispering that pissed me off.

“WHAT THE HECK!” Luna shouted unexpectedly but I knew she done it for me. She noticed it.

“Thanks.” I whispered that the only two could hear while we walked to our room. I saw her smile.



Inside the room, I’m so glad that the only the three of us are totally alone by ourselves.  I put my bag down and take a sit. Gina walked to me and I don’t know why.



“How’s being hospitalized with the hands of Luna?” Gina kinda teased me but slight serious too.

“Great. I healed quickly while she’s around.” I proudly replied to her.

“Is that so…sweet. Do you love her that’s why you didn’t waste any time on bed, am I right?” Gina noticed as she looked to me then glances to Luna.

“What?!” Luna was a bit irritated.

“Nothing.” Gina said to her.

“Yeah, I do love her.” I seriously and frankly told her what exactly my mind said and felt.

“Wow, so are you guys…now together?” Gina was so happy hearing those I do love her that only I can do is smile back at her while she’s smiling.

“I just guess…” I just replied as my smile fade.

“Guess? You mean you’re still not together or either of you didn’t admit it?” Gina hit the point but I’m just waiting for Luna to say yes.



Gina looked at me to Luna who was reading my classical Shakespeare’s novel entitled Romeo and Juliet. Geez, I never finish that. Anyway, Gina set her eyes only on her that pissed her off and I giggled at the same time.



“Gina you already knew my answer. I don’t admit it. Yet. Happy?” Luna said so straight forward and pissed.

“So you love him a lot?” Gina kept on insisting.

“So what if I am!” Luna was totally pissed but blushing so suddenly.

“Gotcha!” Gina said with happy voice that shook Luna’s mind.

“Fine. I admit it…” finally Luna gave in.

“Darrel…ahm, could we…yes.” Luna was totally embarrass saying those words but it’s fine for me but Gina didn’t get what she meant.

“Luna…” I whispered then I kissed her forehead that made Gina giggled like at last look.



Then exactly our other classmates one by one came in and gladly they didn’t see anything. Gina was so happy for both of us specially to her BFF Luna who sitting next to her. Luna’s mouth was shut and no expression at all like nothing happened but Gina was the reverse one. They’re kinda cute.



Here we go again, classes started and I’m still looking outside the window not even minding what our teacher lecturing about until…



“Mr. Rossford, please read your homework aloud.” Our kinda mean look teacher who also look like a geek but so generous to others who were totally poor than him.



I stood up while the others laughs at me except Gina and Luna. They also look like a twin for my eyes but so different to one another. I guess it’s just an effect of being together at all times. Anyway, as I stood up I took a deep breath and start saying my homework free verse poem.



“First, I’d like to tell that this poem of mine was based on my experience.



I came from nowhere,

No one cares about me.

I stood and walked in front of them

As my head down that reached the ground.

I can’t even looked face to face

With the eyes of judgmental one.

But then, I accidentally bumped to a girl.

She’s gorgeous and famous one;

I admire her but who am I?

I’m just a coward; a pathetic one.

But as our gaze met

Something’s linger inside me.

Yes, we knew each other;

We’re best friends and more than that.

But back then one light hit me,

I fell on the ground.

Days, weeks, months or maybe a year

We didn’t see each other.

Now, this is the first time I saw her again.

I didn’t tell her what I really felt ‘til now.

So I ring this bell she gave me,

Ring it loud to hear the sound of my heart

Telling her how much I LOVE HER.

I wish she could hear me now.”



I recited my work that made Luna blush a bit while the others felt a bit touch and sorry for me as I can feel at the atmosphere around us.



Still I can feel Luna’s eyes set on me that made me glance a bit the slightly smiled at her. I know she knew what I meant about my smile and why I wrote that. That poem I should gave it to her after a months’ being away from her.

<Luna>



Geez, he took me by surprise. I didn’t even realize that he still has it like…me. Heh, just what I thought about him. But why he didn’t tell me ahead? Oh, I remember I was cold around him but whenever he’s feeling down I make my move to help him. Not by force.



“Sigh, you never change Real…” I thought to myself as I look at him and I know he knew that I was looking at him though our classmates stared at him.



They studied him for awhile after they heard his poem. They all caught up and it’s kinda funny for me watching their faces at shock to his work.



“Is it great?” I asked out of the blue that shook their heads and to cut out the silence within the room. Actually, I’m referring to him.

“Am I right, Real?” now I mention him that made the other hissed. Right, they didn’t know who is Real until he reply.

“Yah and I dedicated it to you.” He was so calm as he replied to me but we’re not looking at each other that made the others quite puzzled.

“Thank you then.” I gladly replied to him then I lift my head to see what their faces looks like then I smiled at them.

“Sir, who’s next?” I immediately change the topic that even our teacher shook his head then call for me instead.



I wasn’t shock or anything. Just a bit. I didn’t intend to be called out of the blue after I change the subject. Geez…but here it goes.



“Come to think of it,

I wonder where it leads me.

I walk and run,

Run away from him;

Him, the only one I love

I love him and he was the first one I fell for.

But where am I now?

All I know I went away;

Away from him

Now here we go again.

I bumped onto a guy;

Fatedly it was him.

Lately, I noticed something from apart

Something’s bugging him.

And yes, back then;

Best friends turn into lovers, that’s our relationship.

But an incident caught me off guard;

I left and afraid to love again.

Still I can no longer stop this,

Its still linger inside me.

I do love him more than anything,

So I ring this bell he gave me.

I ring it so loud for him,

Let him hear the sound;

Sound of my heart that sings only for him.

I love him and I wish he could hear it once more.”



I recited my homework and I heard Gina and the other girls giggled.



“SWEEETT!!!” they almost screamed to me that made me a little embarrassed but I was happy but Darrel speak up.

“Is that for your first love?” he surprisingly asked me that made me even more embarrass and at the same time pissed to it then I heard him giggled.

“Geez, Real it was for you remember.” I spit it out but I have no regrets telling it to him out of the blue though I know everyone was listening.

“Haha, thank you then, Luna” he replied to me with his cute nice face I always want to see again that also made me stood up and went to him though our whole class watched our scenario.

“What?” he asked me with a little tease.



I come closer that I almost kiss him that made the class giggled but heck no! A huge smack on his head while I give him my precious devilish grin on him, like in the old days. If he ever teased me like that, I have no regret doing it over and over that I wish he recall about it.



“DON’T TEASED ME LIKE YOU’RE SO INNOCENT GUY, REAL.” I was totally pissed.

“Geez, you never change toward me, my Luna.” He teased me and he even address me my as if I was he’s property but his tone was so sweet.

“So are you two dating?” one of the girl asked both of us that made us looked at them and they’re all watching us and their faces has eagerness to know what’s happening between us. As I look at Gina, she was just smiling and not even intended to help.

“Geez, Luna?” Darrel look at me like should we tell them the truth? Geez, it’s kinda pissed me off to death but there’s nothing to hide, right? We’re dating anyway since then but things came up and here we go again continue what we started.

“Sigh! Fine, yah so what if we’re dating; any complain?” I told them the truth with seriousness on my face then I heard some guys told Darrel.

“Geez, Darrel be careful around her. She’s an idol in the whole campus. There some guys wanted to be in your position.” They hissed to him but he just smiled to them.

“Heh, only Luna can decide who she likes to be with, not me or the others around her. She’s tough but fragile in her own way and I like her not just that but all about her. It makes me happy more than anything.” He replied so straight forward that made me smile so gladly but-

“OUCH! Luna?”

“Enough, back to class.” I just said but I was happy after hearing those words from him. I’m so into him again, I mean I’m not so over him…



<Both>



Because our feelings for each other was stronger than before.

So we just ring this bell and ring it so loud

So we could recall everything that we both vow to each other.

It’s the sound of our vow.
