She is holding her comb ,trying to straighten her tenecious hair. Her expression is wry .
She was in that situation when her bestfriend, Nils came, with a phone in his hand. Nils is smiling widely as he walks nearer to her. She can't smile back ,because she still has her wry expression as she can't comb her hair properly.
"What is that? Has your mom bought you a phone?"-She asked Nils when she saw him holding it.
Nils smile and he shook his head.
"What are you talking about? This is mom's. Why is your face like that?"-Nils asked as he looked at her hair.
She pouted her lips.
"I am so tired here! I can't straight my hair, I am so ugly!"-she said as her eyes started to water.
Nils laugh at her. "Hahaha ,You are indeed ugly! But you are still my bestfriend!"
"What?!! If I am your bestfriend , tell me I am pretty!"-she said shaking Nils shoulder.
"But that would be a lie!"-Nils said ,and her expression turns uglier.

The next thing she know , Nils have taken a picture of them. He was smiling handsomely ,while she's wearing what could possibly be her ugliest expression.

I smiled at the memory... it's been 9 years since we took this picture. It's also 9 years ago ,since we last saw eachother... I mean... since he seemed to forget me.
I can still remember the times back when we we're in elementary. Everygirls has a crush on him ,giving him love letters through me ,as if I am a bridge born to connect them.
I remember always asking him why girls likes him ,and what he always reasoned to me was 'Because I am suuuuuperrrrr handsome!' with a smile. And that is something I can't argue about. He is handsome. Indeed.
I even courage him to be a celebrity. I used to encourage him by telling him how talented he is, and I really meant it. Then he told me that, if he became a celebrity, I should become his no.1 fan.
Then oneday , he just told me his family is going to manila. He is leaving. I cried. I did not talk to him ,because I only cried ,until he left. But then ,as years goes by... he is still my bestfriend. He is still my firstlove.
4 years had passed ,I was 13 years old and he is 14. I saw him on tv ,and he is being a child actor. I was like WOW! I bragged to my classmates that 'Nils is my bestfriend!'
Then another 3 years had passed ,and he became real popular ,especially to girls. He had many concerts ,even in other countries ,and I am so happy for him. I still like him.. I wonder if he still remembers me.
I graduated highschool , and I went to manila to continue my study here. I am so happy because ,atlast , I could see him. But ,everything is beyond my expectation. I can't just meet him ,like when we we're kids. There are so many fans that surrounds him.
As years goes by, I tried to meet him . I tried to attend to all his fanmeeting in manila. But I am always late ,because I will always came there from my university. He's already gone. I tried to attend all of his concerts in manila or in the places near the manila. I am starting to lose hopes.. my false hopes ,that maybe he can still remember me.. but what if... what if he had forgotten me? What if I am no longer his bestfriend? What if my hopes ,is really false? What if?
