9. Hiding our relationship those first few months from the rest of the world was hard. A delicate dance. Frankly, I don't know why we did. Were we ashamed? What exactly were we afraid of? Their rejection? Does that even matter? It felt like we were always walking a tightrope without a safety net. We were together but not together. I swear, there were times were in I felt that I was imagining our relationship. We would act so sweet when out of ear shot of others. Then totally ignoring each other next. Stealing kisses behind the library and laboratory when no one was looking. Then suddenly I was with my friends, you were with yours and we acted a bit... shall I say, plastic to each other? And I was hurt when you refused to hold my hand in public. And yet, I must say, there were times wherein I found all of it very exciting. Our very own secret, can you imagine. It was our first secret. People could only guess since the light you evoked from me was far too bright to go unnoticed. You see, I'm not a very good liar. It all shows up on my face. You indeed added color to my life, there was no doubt about that. Thus, drama is never too far behind. Now, let me tell you a secret- I love it when you act aggressive. Shh.
