FOUR

So basically yeah... 'Calister' also happens to be 'Mildred's' friend too, so she would tell 'Mildred' about me and 'Golden' then they would have issues a lot. I don't know how but they finally broke up one day...he started giving me attention. I knew I was the rebound but I didn't mind. It's my fuvking crush! And I was happy. So was my bestie 'Mary' . She contributed a lot and didn't let me shy away from him much even when he would come to my compound and I'd run..yes..literally run and hide.

A lot of my classmates didn't know I liked him...especially 'Munirat' who was my seat mate. She found out in my diary. I left it unattended, she found it...used a other story book to cover it and read if...in front of me! I had no idea...no wonder she was smiling weirdly at me that day. When she was done...she gave it to me...I almost cried because she's not good with keeping secrets, I begged her not to say anything...but she told 'Golden'... yeah...he couldn't be happier and I couldn't deny it cause I wrote exactly how I felt in that diary. From that day...I didn't write in my diary or any diary at all.

So, the term was about to end , so we had a end of term party in school... it wasn't that big but we were ready...my class especially. We had things to present. I didn't...I was too shy. Also 'Golden' was a good dancer too...so yeah...he also had something to present. Okay...so...getting ready... I was called by 'Golden' under the staircase. This 'under staircase' was a good hide spot for a lot of students who wanted to fool around. Or hide from a teacher. I've never been there with a boy before so I was nervous. But before he called me over there...we had almost kissed in an empty class but was interrupted...so I guess we wanted to finish. So I went down there...he was already there...I can't remember in details but we talked a little the he learned to kiss me...I got nervous and backed away. So he tried again...but this time,he held me by my chin so I couldn't really move...the we kissed. And holy shit was I shaking! And sweating..but it didn't last cause I saw some of my classmates who were about to perform a dance and I ran. Yup..I ran and fell...I saw him laugh but I just stood up and ran to the class. I wasn't even paying attention to the performance...all I could think of was the kiss. My first kiss.

He transferred to another school though...leaving me in the arms of 'Benefit'...again. But I wasn't scared...cause 'Benefit' was warned not to touch me. A d he respected 'Golden' a lot so he actually obeyed and laid off the bullying before he also transferred to another school. They were both gone.

And you know the saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder?" Yeah, fuck that noise...I had to move on. And I did. I noticed another classmate who has always been there but I was too occupied with 'Golden' to notice. So weird cause 'Kelechi' is very cute. He has the most amazing eyes I have ever seen...like a cat's eye. But unfortunately...nothing happened cause I can't really date a classmate even if I like him. It was weird for me. Everyone knew I liked 'Kelechi', even he did..but I wasn't comfortable taking it to heart. Hed very funny...sometimes even without saying anything. And he had the funniest nickname for everybody. Like..before 'Mary' my bestie left for another school, he called her "Bone-mummy", he called 'Chidinma' -"Toshiba" he called Kenneth "Egi-wawa, Called me Barbie, well..everyone called me Barbie. A lot I can't really remember. 'Kelechi' was smart...really smart..he played so much you'd think he was a dummy but no. When we have exams, he wouldn't read with us. He would say "If I read with you guys, who's gonna fail?". That was weird. And he would play with his friends...then write very well...he was always the second or third to finish writing and his scores are great too. It baffled me till my friend "Jennifer" told me he never plays at home. He's not even allowed to come out...his parents are very strict.

So after high school... we all went our seperate ways. He went to the university in another state. 'Golden' tried to work things out with me but I was too shy even when 'Mary' would try to intervene. I just wasn't feeling him anymore...which made me think...Maybe it's just lust.
