The Beginning

They started out as strangers, both from different secondary schools.
He had a sports background, she had a performing arts background.
By chance, they went to the same polytechnic and same faculty, but different courses.
She attended the school's freshmen orientation camp, he did not.
Somehow, they both joined the same CCA, both wanting to try something new.

Trainings went by, some people left the CCA,some people stayed.
As the group of newbies grew smaller, the people who stayed grew closer to each other.
They became friends, just on the surface, slowly, they started talking in groups.
Camps after camps they bonded with the friends, unknowingly they soon became good friends.
She found out he was Christian too, a rare friend who shared the same religion.

Events went by, they happened to join the same performance item, dance.
Again through dance training they bonded, not knowing what the future had in store for them.
After the event was over, they continued to meet up just to dance along with other friends.
She had liked another guy, he was looking on quietly.

She had many crushes, he had one - her.
She soon gave up on the current crush because she knew it was impossible.
He watched quietly from the side, not knowing what was happening.
He kept his feelings to himself.

She started to notice him, his laughter and his kindness.
He still kept thinking that she would still hold on to her crush, not wanting to let go.
She happen to meet him at the bus stop outside school one day whilst going home.
They said goodbyes and she climbed the overhead bridge to get to the other side of the road.
As she was on the overhead bridge, she happened to notice.
Something she hasn't seen before.

He was watching.
Watching her as she made her way to the bus stop on the other side.
Quietly, he watched, not making it noticeable to his friends with him.
But she noticed.
That was when it begun.
