“People Fallin’ Love in Mysterious Ways” agreed.

Returning to my junior high school era, there was someone I once had a crush on but I never quite understood why. Yeah, let’s call this person ‘B’. Typically, teenagers have a feelings for someone because he/she’s attractive, kind, or because they share common interests. But for me, it was different. I felt drawn to B for reasons I couldn’t explain. It was not bcs of their looks or personality, nor bcs we had meaningful conversations. It was just a strange, unexplainable attraction.

During the class reshuffle before the new school year, I eagerly awaited news of our new class assignments. When I finally learned that B and I would be in the same class, I was ecstatic. I quickly checked the class roster to see who else would be with us. As I saw the list, one name stood out—“B”. I couldn’t understand why I felt so intrigued by someone I’d never noticed before.

The first day of school, and despite my usual indifference towards classes and online learning, I found myself unusually excited for our first Google Meet session. I couldn’t pinpoint why, till I realized it was bcs of B. I was genuinely curious about him, eager to see his face and hear his voice.

During our initial Google Meet, my excitement grew as B actively participated, answering questions from the teacher. Even though he didn't show their face on camera, just hearing his voice made me inexplicably happy. The next day, when B finally appeared on camera, I felt a mix of joy and confusion in other side. I couldn’t understand why I was so thrilled to see him, especially since we had only just met.

As days passed, my fascination with B only grew stronger. I found myself eagerly awaiting each school session, hoping to interact with him. It was as if B had cast a spell on me, making me act in ways I couldn't comprehend. Despite my friends suggesting that I liked B, I initially denied it. How could I have feelings for someone I barely knew? But eventually, I couldn't deny my attraction any longer.

Now, looking back, I still find it hard to explain why I was drawn to B. Was it simply curiosity, or something more? Whatever the reason, my experience taught me that love truly works in mysterious ways. All of my friends said that i’m really weird. If yall who read this article wanna i’m weird too, silakan:)))).
