Could this be love??

Now that she's 18, everything begins to seem different to her and her sense of maturity has been grown over time. Lisa's new age came with so much dexterity especially if she's now old enough to have a boyfriend.

But she finds it hard to believe that she's ready for such relationship because she hasn't fell in love before.

Her mom had told her about the peer pressure of being 18 and having a boyfriend is just one of those things. But she couldn't hide the fact that there's a kind of feeling that comes whenever she's around him "Frederick".

Lisa is in a fix of knowing if what she actually feels is "LOVE?" since this was new to her. Maybe she's still not ready for love yet or she's scared of being used and dumbed like in some high school romantic movies.

She talks to Betty about it the next day at school when they were at the cafeteria.

"I've been watching my weight this days" said Betty as she pushes over the plate of burger to Lisa.

...huh, watching your weight? why??" Lisa replied.

"Henry says I'm getting fat and he doesn't like it" she responded with a sad tone.

Lisa couldn't help but laugh out loud on hearing betty's response.

"Like seriously. you're getting fat he said. okay well he's your boyfriend after all, but girl I ain't seeing any fat or whatever.....Lisa jolted with her hands covering her mouth in laughter.

"you're Just being jealous cause you don't have a hot boyfriend like mine" Betty slammed back.

"yeah, tease me all you want I don't care" she replied abruptly.

"Come on girl, you're the 18 now. stop acting like a child, it's irritating please!"

"sometimes I think Betty is a bad influence on me, cause of the way she gives me some kind of friendly advice that I frown at" Lisa thought in her mind. Lisa is in her twelfth grade in high school.

she's preparing for her final exams which will enable her gain admission into the university, but she is caught in a dilemma of having a boyfriend and studying hard for her final exams.

she wouldn't want to repeat twelfth grade and lose the opportunity of becoming a college student.

"of course I wouldn't dare choose pleasure over my future?, hell NO!" Lisa muttered in her mind.

Frederick walks into the cafeteria and joins the girls for lunch break.

"hey girls, did i miss anything?". he said with a pack of chips in his hands.

"hope you're preparing for the exams?" Lisa responded quickly while trying to avoid eye contacts with Frederick.

"Are you avoiding me?" He responded .

"Uhmm....I think I have class now" said Betty as she hurries to class just for them to talk alone.

"Why would I avoid you, huh?" She stammered. They both certainly had issues to settle cause of the last time frederick tried to kiss her.

" But I apologized right, so why are you still acting this way" Fredrick sneered as he looked at her.

"You're hiding something from me" Frederick said as he stood up to leave the cafeteria. Lisa couldn't control the feelings anymore but she's confused. She doesn't seem to understand how she felt each time he's around her. "Could this be love??"she asked herself as frederick walked out of the cafeteria.

Later that day after class, just as she was standing in front of the school gate calling the driver to come pick her up. Lisa was so busy with her phone that she didn't see the incoming vehicle coming behind her. Just as the driver tried to slow down so he wouldn't hit her down, she turned to see the incoming vehicle which was in high motion. But something happened. just as frederick was coming out from the exit door of the school, he saw what was about to happen to Lisa and he quickly ran towards her and pushed her down from the way and they both fell on each other with her body on his chest.

They both gazed at each other for some minutes before the other students started clapping for both of them cause the scenery was very romantic. Frederick couldn't hide his feelings as he looked Lisa directly in her eyes and she couldn't resist his charms cause he was such a charming young guy.

"Are you crazy?, you better watch your back next time girl" said the man who almost ran into Lisa. On hearing this Lisa quickly stood up from Frederick's body who was obviously still enjoying the moment.

"Thanks for saving me?" She said shyly as she noticed everyone looking at both of them as if they were some love birds.

"You're welcome my lady" Frederick responded with a smirk on his face as they both walked together to the her driver who was standing across the road waiting for Lisa, oblivious of what had happened.

"So??can I come over to the house later?" Frederick asked

"Yes' sure anytime jerk" Lisa replied as she teased him.

"Bye" he said as they both waved each other.

"I've felt like this before, I don't just understand this feelings anymore" Lisa murmured as she reflects on what transpired between them.

"Could this be love? or does he feel the same way too? but we're friends, how could this be" she continued to ask herself so many rhetorical questions as the car moved down the highway towards the estate.
