Why are you so obsessed with me?
An unhealthy habit
Obsession is an 8 letter word. He would be on my mind constantly. I would die whenever we randomly meet in the street. He doesnt know me but I know him, well.
When I was in high school understanding my sexuality, I knew I liked guys.

My sister graduated from the University of the Philippines Cebu and I asked myself why not, I should try and take the entrance exam, spoilers I didnt pass. Anyways, it was the day of the exam in NORSU. I was hanging around with my friends waiting for the exam to start until I spotted a familiar face, it was him, he also took the exam.
