Chris

Bran and I were talking when Cee descended the stairs. I was speechless and I know Bran noticed it. How could someone look so divine and beautiful in just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Call me crazy but I guess I really am falling for her even though I've only known her earlier. It seems like I've known her all my life and that I need to be closer to her. She's my soulmate and I hope that she feels the same way as I do. It was also a coincidence that we wore matching shirts which made me say that we might be thinking about each other while we were changing clothes. Well, a guy can only hope.

I opened the car door for her and I secretly smiled when I saw her blush. I don't know what's gotten into me but it seems like I want to make her feel like a princess. I know that she's used to being treated like a princess but I want to be the one who would make her feel like one and to make everything special for her. I really need to get to know her more because I need to be with her.

On our way to the mall, I couldn't help but steal glances at her. She looked so perfect without even knowing it. I took the chance to get to know her by initiating the conversation.

"Uhm, Cee, what's your full name?". She smiled and said, "Christina Cassandra. You?".

I told her that my name is Christian Emmanuel and that her name's beautiful like her. She blushed at that and then I asked her why she's called "Cee". She then told me that it was Bran's fault because when they were young, their mom wanted her to be called "Cassie" but she can't say it correctly. She can only say "Cee" so Bran kept on calling her "Cee-Cee" and then they all started calling her "Cee" from then on.

I also found out that she'll be starting high school since Bran and I are 4 years older than her and I told her that I'll be in my freshman year as well in Mapua studying Industrial design. She seemed interested when she asked me how long have I been playing. I told her that I started playing when I was still 7 and that I've always loved music. It was then that she admitted that she's also into music and that she loves to sing but can't perform in front of an audience because of stage fright. She told me that Bran has been encouraging her but she really can't overcome her fear. I assured her that she'll get over it soon just like I did when I used to have stage fright and that I could help her overcome it. She just smiled and changed the topic. I told her that hopefully I might hear her sing and she told me that she's not sure when because Bran has been asking her to join their band and sing but she just cant seem to find the courage. She told me that it was actually an accident when Bran heard her sing because she was in the garden one time singing and Bran heard her. He didn't say anything until she finished and when she did, he was clapping and ever since Bran has always bugged her into making a band but she has been refusing him ever since. I just smiled and I thought to myself that I will make it as one of my missions to help her overcome her stage fright. We talked about anything and in that short span of time, we have known a lot about each other and I was certain that we both felt comfortable with each other.

When we reached the mall, she told me not to wait for her because she might ask her friend to just drop her off later but I insisted that we go home together because I promised Bran that we will go home together so she agreed. She even hinted that I might need to be with someone after that and I noticed a little jealousy in her tone but I assured her that there's nowhere else that I'd rather be than to be with her. She didn't respond but I could see her blushing.
