This story happened years before and this "torpe" guy had been crushing on this girl - also his classmate in school. He never spoke to the girl, and when he does, it's only for the sole purpose of homework or other school-related stuff. This guy never really had the courage to talk to the girl - being smart and pretty. What's more, this girl was the "crush ng bayan" of the guy's batch, making it more difficult for him to approach the girl he liked.
Years passed, people still crushed on the girl, and so did he, still haven't had the courage to talk to her.
Then one fine day, after the first day of their exams, he was sitting on a bench near the gates leading out the school grounds, waiting for his friends. He was minding his business, trying to review for the next day's test and to his surprise, the girl suddenly came through the gates! :)
He kept quiet and just continued reviewing until the girl noticed him. She said hi to him and he acknowledged her greeting shyly. She asked what he was reading and he said it was for the test the next day. "Oh," said the girl and quite hesitantly she asked the guy "would you like to join me and my friends in our group study?:)"
The guy's eyes brightened with glee and he smiled and said sure. The girl took his hand and pulled him out the gates and instantly, he fell into cloud nine. "She is holding my hand!" the guy was thinking, "and we're gonna study together too!"
"This is the best day ever!" he said. They had fun and the day ended and he felt sad that she had to leave. But now, he had the courage to talk to her. Not just for school, but in a real conversation and he went home full of bliss.
When he got to school the next day, he immediately looked for the girl, thinking they could have a last-minute review before their test. He reached his classroom and saw her. Ecstatic, he rushed into the room. But as he stepped inside, he saw her with another boy, reviewing together, teasing each other, and having laughs, like the ones they had yesterday.
He lowered his head and silently went to the other side of the room, opened his book and readied himself for the test.
