Hi, my name is Alexia Rose Y.

Cobong, 16 yrs old who is currently a grade 10 student at Cabantian

National High School. I'm just a normal student who love's to draw, an introvert person somebody
thought I'm a mysterious person but i just ignore them and mind my own business.

( Alarm ringing )

Alexia looked at her cellphone to check the time and when she saw that it was

[ 6:30 am ] she realized she had something to do.

Alexia: gosh! My portrait.

She quickly sat down at her study table to look at the portrait she made.

it was a boy in her portrait sitting in front of her while studying

( Memory flashbacks )

Alexia was in the canteen making her portrait, but she couldn't think of anything when suddenly
someone sat down at the other table in front of her, she didn't know, but her surroundings seemed to
stop when she saw the man in front of her.

Minutes later She didn't notice that she was already sketching the guy infront of her

( End of flashback )

( At the school )

Teacher came*/

Teacher: Goodmorning class

Students: Goodmorning maam

Teacher: ok you may now take your seat

Teacher: i have a important announcement

For your activity number 3 you have to make a portrait

One student raise his hands*/

Classmate num 1: Maam are we the ones to decide what portrait we will make?

Teacher: good question, it's on your choice what you want to do, you can make a portrait of the people
who make you happy, who give you motivation and your loved ones in life
One student raise his hands*/,

Classmate num 2 : Ma'am, when will be the deadline?

Teacher: so the deadline is next week. Goodluck on your portraits

Teacher: class dismissed.

Classmate num 3 approached alexia*/

Class num 3: hi alexia, have you thought about what portrait you will make?

Alexia:hmm actually I have no idea yet, how about you, do you have one?

Class num 3: same answer as yours

They both laughed*/

Alexia went to the place where she always hangs out, she sat on the chair and laid out her things on the
table she took out her sketchbook to start sketching her portrait

as she opened the page of her sketchbook she saw the sketch she made of the man she saw the other
day and then she thought why not she didn't make a portrait of the man.

She started to make a portrait as she remembered the man, and a few minutes later she didn't realize
that the man from the previous day was on the other side of the table. The boy was in earphones while
he was reading his notes, Alexia noticed that the boy was there. She was staring at him, but when the
boy noticed that someone was looking at him, he looked at Alexia's side, so Alexia looked away and just
went back into making her portrait.

minutes have passed before the man left but he didn't realize that he left his ID. Alexia took the ID,
hoping to give it back to the man but he already left, so she decided to keep it for now.

( 2days had passed )

Alexia went to 7/11 to continue her portrait

while she was taking her scratch book, the ID of the boy the other day suddenly fell from her notebook

( Flashback ) she remembered again what happened that day

( Skip time )

She went to school and she decided to wait for the man at the guard house and return his ID.

Cm2:Hey Alexia, who are you waiting for?

Alexia: uhmm... nothing I'm just looking at something.

Cm2: something? ( He looked for what Alexia was looking at ) Where are you looking at? I don't see
anything

Cm2:maybe you're waiting for someone?

(Teasing tone)

Alexia: no, you know what lets go, we might be late.

Alexia pulled her classmate to leave and a second later the man came.

( Class dismissed )

Alexia saw the man she's been waiting for she was about to approach him but suddenly a girl came.

Cm:Is he the one you were waiting for earlier at the guard house?

Cm: Alexia, I know you like him, but look at what you saw, women shouldn't go after men it's the men
that should go after women, you will only get hurt more

Alexia looked down she doesn't know what to say

Cm: We're just worried about you Alexia, ( sight)ets go come home with us

( Next day at the classroom )

Alexia is just sitting on the chair now, waiting for their adviser to arrive.

The door opened and her classmate was calling her.

Cm: alexia have you seen this already?

Alexia: huh? which one? ( Confused )

Alexia's classmate showed her cell phone to say what she wanted to say, Alexia was shocked because
she saw her picture of her at 7/11 and she was also shocked by the caption.

" You are The person I'll never stop looking for in a crowded place "

—E

Alexia immediately went to the SSG office to announce the lost and found ID hoping that the boy she
saw back then will come to claim it.

Hours had passed Alexia was still waiting for the boy. She was already losing hope that the boy would
come.

But then that hope finally came. The door opened and it showed the boy, the boy that alexia fell in love
at first sight.

Eljohn's POV

(flashback)

I was eating at the canteen when i saw a girl infront of me, I can really tell that she was good at drawing
just by seeing her sketches. While i was reading my book i can sense that she looking at me so i looked
at her but she looked away, she was so cute that time.

I noticed that i was already late so i hurriedly went to my classroom. When i got there i noticed that my
ID wasn't with me so i went to the lost and found hoping that the one who saw my ID surrendered it to
them, but i failed.

Classmate 1: hey eljohn did you already got your ID back?

Eljohn: (laughed) not yet bro, i guess i'll just ask for a new ID to our adviser.

Classmate 2: fine, come on let's just go to 7/11.

They went to 7/11 and hanged out. A few minutes after, eljohn noticed that the girl he saw at canteen
was sitting at the corner--sketching. There he started to have feelings for her, it was to crowded but she
still managed to get his attention.

When he was about to approach her the girl hurriedly left the store. He was disappointed because he
didn't had a chamce to ask for her name but on the table he saw a notebook, it was the notebook the
girl owned, he took it and opened. There he saw a sketch of him, that's where he felt curious
Eljohn's mind: that day she was sketching me? So she also noticed my presence, now i really want to
meet her.

(End of flashback)

I was seating at our room when i heard an announcement it was about a lost and found ID then i
thought that it might be mine so i rushed to the SSG office. As i opened the door, i saw girl sitting at the
corner it was her the girl that i saw at the canteen, the girl that got my attention even if it was a
crowded place, she was the one who saw my ID.

She approached me and gave my ID

Alexia: uhm hi my name is alexia, i was the one who found your ID here take it (gave the ID the eljohn)

(but then eljohn ran away)

(alexia got curious about why he ran away, so she waited a little because he might have something to
do)

After a minute eljohn came back panting while holding a notebook

Eljohn : uhm i'm sorry if left suddenly i just went back to my room to get this.

Alexia noticed that it was her sketch book

Alexia: huh? Its my sketch book, but how did you get it?

Eljohn: you left this at 7/11 i saw you there i was about to approach you but you left and forgot to take
your notebook with you, so i kept it.

Alexia: oh! Thank you for keeping it, this is really important for me. But have you opened it?

Eljohn: sorry to say but yes! And i saw my portrait there

Alexia: oh i feel shy i draw you without your permission

Eljohn: no, its okay besides i like it when someone notices me.

(both of them chitchatted for a while) Months have passed, alexia and eljohn became close friends.
Alexia and Eljohn are eating at the canteen where they first met

Eljohn: alexia, I have to tell you something.

Alexia: What is it?

Eljohn: I've had feelings for you for a long time now.

Alexia looks surprised but happy.

Alexia: Really? I've had feelings for you too.

Alexia reaches into her backpack and pulls out a drawing she made. It's a portrait of her and eljohn
sitting on the bench together, holding hands, and looking at each other with loving eyes.

Alexia: I know I'm not good at expressing my feelings through words, so I made this for you.

Eljhon: It's beautiful. Thank you, alexia

Eljohn takes alexia's hand and sit there, admiring the drawing and each other.
