Chapter 11:-The arranged date.

I became so close to Michael that we hang out together,I loved his company so much. He wasn't has I imagined him to be,but as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover,I actually had judged Michael and I feel so sorry for my actions..My two best friends were happy for me for my recent changes ,I no longer cried for Des like before,but truth be told I still miss him,and I do see him in school but I act as if it's air or a ghost thats there,I had no time for chit chat,so I avoided him as if he was a plague..My parents were doing just fine,a few days later I got a call from Dave, my elder brother to come back home,that there was something the needed to tell me. I really haven't gone home for so long and that wasn't an issue cause I always communicate with my parents often and siblings as well.

I had to inform my two best friends and Michael that I would be off ,for a while but I would be back,maybe after a week my besties...said they would miss me and definitely I too would miss them as well but that's not as if we were not gonna see again..I called Michael telling him I wanted seeing him,am fond of breaking the news to you facially than on phone or text,but I still loved chatting though. We met and sat close to the school fields garden in was a cool evening so the breeze was all good and all.Hey!! I said to him,now am feeling bad to leave cause I would miss him for the period of times I won't be around because I have gotten very used to him and I can't help,but think about the whole week I am gonna be away. Hi...how are you,he asked ,I am good I replied...well , Michael I was asked to come home this weekend and I do not know what's wrong but I would be leaving tomorrow, just felt like to inform you I said..His mood changed...I knew he wasn't happy of me leaving but I would still come back and he said..Phine I would miss you so much,I smiled still sad too though and I too, I said ,we then hanged out for a while before I left back for the hostel and he saw me off.

Going back home the next day,many things hadn't changed but there was a really grand party thrown for me coming back,as if I was missing for a long time,and now found..smiles mum was so happy to see me and I hugged her cause I missed her so much...they knew studies had been the one holding me back from visiting as often as I did when I was a freshman. And now am here. My brothers were still around and my paddy of them all was Martin's he had missed me so much and I knew cause I missed him too, he took me to his room after greeting mum and dad and helping me unpack and settle down. We gisted and gisted till I was so tired and went back to rest , Michael called me to find how I was and how is my family...we talked for length but I missed him.

After 2days at home, dad called me to discuss something important,he said that was the reason he called me back home and that he wanted me not to take it the wrong way, but he has a business associate that they have been friends for so long and he would love me to meet his friend's son Philip not as if he wants me to go into marriage but he wants us to know and meet each other to get acquainted with each other ,I was so surprised,Dad!! I cried out,Phiny it's not what you are thinking I have a huge business deal with his father and this was the condition he gave before agreeing to do business with me,after seeing your pictures on my phone he said...I raised an eyebrow up are you kidding me??so you are trying to sell me off dad??I asked . No Phiny it's not a marriage proposal just a date if you don't like the young man you could actually quite though,he said. I can't believe my dad, so I just walked out of him and can't believe him. Martin's tried to talk me into it..I just thought over it how would I meet with someone I wasn't in love with who does that. That's how I agreed to meet Philip. I dressed a bit not my league, should I say causal,just to create a good impression,so that dad won't be sad. The date went well he wasn't as I imagined him ,he was cute and well to do,he was working and I'm going to my level 3 in the university.But to say, my date went well and that's how I and Philip started talking...I told Dad I would be going back the next week to school. And I left the next week.
