Chapter 1 – Dear Dale

*Dear Dale,

*I have wondered over the school break and before we started our journey in the Uni. Will I let you know about my love or should I just keep all to myself and forget it just like how we will eventually forget all of the basic educations and formulas we have studied during high school.

I figured that as we go along the way I will compose this letter and eventually will give it to you. Hopefully, I would have the strength before our Uni days are over.

Gidz decided that once the Uni started he will do his best to win the heart of his first and only love, Dale. He has known him during his last year in high school. Gidz did not almost graduated if not because of Dale who inspired him to be his best.

4th Year – 2nd Quarter

(You would hear an echoing sound from a distance. Students were screaming as this group of boys from other high school were busy beating up a guy wearing his high school uniform.)

You would hear other students were saying:

“We should call the school guards and teachers!”

“We should call for help!!”

“We should help him!”

You would also hear other students saying:

“Don’t get yourselves involve!”

“Let him! His always instigating trouble!”

Despite of the contradicting statements you would hear from the students there were two high school students from the same school of the boy who’s being beaten helped out.

“Dale! Cover him!” he grabbed the boy and hugged him tight “Hold on buddy! We are here to help” he whispered. The other boy exchanged punches with the other boys from the other high school. Moments after the school security and teachers came to sojourn the chaos.

All of them were sent to the hospital.

“I got bruises on my back”

“I think I have one too”

They were busy taking when the beaten boy woke up. “Oh there! You are now awake…” the boy just looked at the window and did not say anything. He was feeling ashamed for the first time, normally he would cause the chaos and get beaten up alone. But, yesterday there were two strangers helped him even they did not know him personally.

“Thank you for helping me. But, that was not really necessary.” He said with a low town of voice. “You know what – It was not my intension to help… You need to say thank you to my friend and –“ he moved closer to the boy sitting on the hospital bed and tapped his shoulder “and say it sincerely” he gave the boy a smirk and moved out of the hospital room.

“You know for a troublemaker I didn’t expect that you would do something nice for a girl.” Dale said with a calm tone of voice and a gentle smile on his face “What do you mean?” the boy asked. “I mean I heard you talking to the other boy that you would let them do those things to you so long as they will leave \-\-\-\-“ he pauses “I can’t recall the girl’s name. The only thing I can recall is that you would let them beat you up for the sake of that girl.” He continued “Your love?” Dale asked while handing a glass of water to the boy.

“None of your business!” he snobby said. They were both quiet for quite some time but the atmosphere changes when they started to talk again. “Ahhmm –“ boy said “Do you need anything?” he put down his phone and asked “Nope, I just want to say thank you for helping me and for not hesitating while doing it” he said while looking at Dale.

(*Continuation of the letter)

As I kept all of my baggage carry the bad reputation I have known for. You looked at me in the eye and held my hands so tight. Just like how you held me in your arms and protected me against the bad boys that day. You have seen me in a different ray of sun were none of them ever had*.

*That day, I have fallen for you and up to this point, I am still loving you*!
