I Saw Him First Icarly Mga Nobela at Kwento

a boy shouted down the walkway, laughing uncontrollably right after. I dismissed the petty mockery and carried on walking down the campus corridor. “Nerd? Who was he calling a nerd?” I thought, pulling off my glasses and putting it back in its case. Today is my first day in this school and I can’t risk giving them the impression of being a nerd. Just while walking down the hallway, my eyes caught sight of someone walking towards me. A guy I had never seen before, and he was unbelievably handsome. When he got closer, I could see just how striking he was. His sharp jawline, those intense eyes, and that small knowing smile. It all caught me off guard. A strange feeling twisted in my stomach.

Hearing that I was living my second life and that the Moon Goddess had directed me to him was only going to make him think I was crazy. He didn’t press. He just nodded, his voice steady when he said, “I won’t let anything happen to you.” I wanted to ask what he meant, what he was really thinking, but before I could, he spoke again. “The first time I saw you was in high school,” he said. “Biology class. I didn’t even want to be there, but… you walked in.” His lips twitched into a half-smile. “You were the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. But you never noticed me. You were too busy following Grey around.”

I saw him. Jacob.

Slowly, heart in my throat, I turned— And there he was, the familiar dark eyes staring at me. The eyes I have almost given up hope of ever seeing again. There he stood… Nico.

I told him, only to lift my voice and repeat, “No. That’s not what I’m talking about.” Canting his head to the side in confusion he watched me, waiting for me to explain. “Tell me,” I said. “The first time you saw me… Was it… Was it because you noticed a...a certain shirt I was wearing that you liked or something like that?” Wick pulled back and blinked at me in shock. “Yeah,” he answered a little suspiciously. “A Stranger Things shirt. It showed a picture of the guy who played Steve and said ‘Pretty damn good babysitter’ under that.” He squinted and tipped his head to the side. “How did you know that?”

He froze. Then scrambled. “Oh. My. God. I’m sorry! I’m sorry, Nicole! I swear…I didn’t see…oh shit…I didn’t mean to…” His voice cracked as his face snapped to the wall so hard I thought he’d break his neck. Great. Out of all the guys in this damn school, it had to be Fredrick Douglass. Sweet. And now? Congratulations, buddy…you’ve officially become the first guy to see me naked. I wanted to die.
