Chapter 2

Since we were screened l hardly saw her; l missed her beautiful face and smile. No girl in my new class carried that exceptionality as she did, I can tell. Though she was away my love for her never got on the blink, but instead strengthened and boosted. We never had time to spend together but l recalled the good time l admired her beauty. I also meditated on the good time we will experience together in the future and when l thought of her, a smile would appear unnoticed.

Form three first term passed. She was always in my thoughts and dreams and l just prayed that she won't think that I have forgotten her, but how could she not think that? Those few moments l saw her l acted differently. I acted as if l had lost interest in her. I did this because l didn't want her to think that l have a crush that is still existing since last year but one. That was mad of me; how could a girl wait for a boy who seems to have lost interest in her. It pained me inside that someone l love more than anyone on earth is close to me but l can't speak with her, oh that stressed me.

I also hoped that she is not mad at me for not proposing to her for an eternal friendship.

I was careful since form one that no one will notice that l was in love with a girl l never spoke with. I never even showed it to Kuda till he read this book at form three third term. No one suspected this and all just said Sam is a good boy he doesn't 'mix' with girls. Yes it was true l didn't have a girlfriend but l had a long lived crush on Lillian.

Sometimes she would visit her friends in my classroom from her hostel, and l would pretend as if l didn't notice her. She would steal a look at me to see if l has noticed her and l would remain as if nothing is happening. This pained me but l had nothing else to do. Without her in my classroom, I started writing this book, 'My love story'. I forgot the actual month but it's between February, March and April Form three 2018. I wanted to recall how I felt for her and also what we will do together and I also wrote this book so as not to forget her.
