College Sweethearts

Yesterday, two of my College classmates changed their status to “in a relationship” in Facebook and were soon inundated with happy comments from their common friends, including me. It was a surprise because even though they had the same personalities, they didn’t exactly revolve in the same circles except for the classroom. So I have yet to know the story as to how they fell back into each other’s paths.

Like the revelation about Rodel’s girlfriend, though, once I found out, it wasn’t a complete shock. I had always suspected back in College that Joy, who was in my barkada, had a crush on Ryan, even though she never actually admitted it.

Ryan and I also go a long way back, since we were classmates in High School and I became his confidant and co-conspirator when he fell for one of my friends back then. It seems as though his taste hasn’t changed that much because his choice is still a friend of mine, albeit a different one.

I’m glad they are together now. That makes them the fourth official couple to come out from our College block. I say “official” because there were so many unofficial teams and one-sided love affairs.

In the picture below, Ryan and Joy are encircled. The boxed ones are all those who ever loved or was loved by someone in the class. That I know of, anyway. The picture is missing four people, three of whom also need to be “boxed.”


I suppose those TV series plots are not too far off reality, huh?
