"Mama! Papa!!!" Our little bundle of happiness called us. "Yes, Miracle?" Her name is Miracle, Miracle Portman. She is truly a Miracle for us.

"How did you two meet?" I smiled at her question. I can still remember it clearly on how Jacob confessed to me.

"Alright then, call your brother, we'll tell you the tale where it all began."

~*~*~

Hi, I'm Emma Bloom. An 8 grade student. I have blonde hair, I'm a carefree person.I'm-

"Um...excuse me Miss, can I borrow a pencil? I left mine back home." A tall handsome guy with brown hair interrupted my thoughts. I gave him a confused look. I had been at this school ever since I was young, and this is the first time I saw him.

"Uh...sure..." my answer sounds more like a question than an answer. He muttered a small 'thank you' to me.

Little dis I know, he is gonna be a big part of my life on the future.

« Time Skip: 2 years later »

Hi! It's me again.

Remember the guy who borrowed a pencil from me 2 years ago? Guess what? He's my best friend now!!!

His name is Jacob Portman. Jake for short. And believe it or not, he gets spooked easily. Jake is skinny and tall. He has messy dark brown hair, and has eyes that I get lost into.

Yes. I fell in love with a skinny and easily spooked guy.

"Hey, Emma. Can I borrow your pencil?" I looked at Jacob. I know I should be used to it, but it's like he's borrowing my pencil everyday!

"Seriously, Jake...you gotta buy your one someday!" I exclaimed. Although the reply I got is just a nervous laugh.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Graduation is coming, what's your plan, Jake?" I asked, changing the topic. "Well...I want to be like my grandfather."

"How 'bout you?" Jacob asked.

"I don't know. I just go with the flow." I said, hiding a small message on it. Jake just replied with a nod and said,

"Yeah. You always do."

I smiled sadly, then muttered to myself. "Not always. I can't go with the flow when it comes to telling you how I feel."

~*~*~

Yay! We're graduates now! Although I still haven't told Jake how I feel.

I am usually the brave one. But right now, why am I not that girl?

"Hey Emma!" I heard someone shouted my name. It's Jake. My heart starts thumping so loud. My face tinted red.

Oh! I forgotten to tell you! We both planned to see each other after graduation at the park. And I also decided to tell him I like him once and for all.

"Hey Emma! Did you waited long?"

I smiled. "No. Not at all."

"Did you brought what I told you to bring?" Right! Jake asked me to bring a pencil that he borrowed.

"Yeah...but can I ask you something?" Jacob smiled at me. Then agreed.

"Why did you borrow a pencil every time when we were still in highschool?"

Oh men! That was not what I was supposed to say!!!

I immediately became flustered red with embarrassment when he started to laugh.

"Good thing you asked that. It's going to be difficult to explain." I gave him a confused look, as if saying, 'What?'.

Jacob gave me another smile.

One more of those smiles, I will definitely swoon.

"The answer lies in the pencil that I borrowed."

I immediately looked at the pencil. There's a message. It's neatly engraved there. It said,

"I Love You. But I am too scared to say that."

I looked at Jacob. He just stands there, smiling nervously. I smiled back, sweetly. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and said, "I Love You Too, Jake."

Then, I kissed him on the lips.

~*~*~

"So that's how you met, Mama?" Both Miracle asked and her brother, Benedict. Their mother smiled, nodding.

"Yes. Our love started when your cowardly father left a message on my pencil that he borrowed." Emma answered, mocking Jacob.

"Hey! Now that's just insulting!"

Then the four laughed altogether.

25 down, 2 to go.
