Chapter 2

THE CRUSH

We got down from the car, Annie and her younger ones all rushed to the gate of the new house in eagerness while I was trying to carry the bags down from the car; a bag fell and I bent down to pick it up while raising my head up a very dark handsome guy walked pass on the opposite side of the street, I couldn't stop starring but I had to as my parents are very strict when it comes to these kind of things. I got inside the new house and it felt like I walked into a mini paradise, everything was so beautiful and perfect at the same time; I walked around to give it a glance, I checked in on every room and each room had its unique concept, it was lovely.

I went outside to get the kids' stuff that I could carry took them in, there were alot of helping hands which made it faster for us to settle in.

Twilight emerged fast and everyone that helped us started leaving one after the other until they all left. The house was almost in order just remain a slight touch for all to be done, mom and I had to prepare dinner; I had to cut some vegetables while doing that I got lost in thoughts, thinking about that dark handsome guy I saw today.... I smiled to myself saying I hope to see him again in a whispering voice, wondering what his name could be as I didn't know, I decided to call him "Dark handsomeness" in my head. After making dinner, we all sat at the dining table to eat there was utter silence on the dining table which was somehow weird and that's because dad was around eating with us for the first time in many years; dad and I were never close right from the day I knew him. Anyways, we all had our night showers and it was bed time; I was in my bed and all I could this of was "dark handsomeness" I couldn't even burn night candle as I usually do as a lyceum student and I had exams to prepare so I can get to the institution.

I tried reading that night but I couldn't concentrate I really wanted to see him again and maybe get to know him or probably just be friends with him but I know that's just a crazy thought, well I kept trying to read at least to grasp one or two things then eventually fell asleep. It was school the next morning and we had to prepare I got the kids to have their bath while I packed our lunchbox before taking a shower because their school bus arrives here by exactly 7:30am; done packing the boxes I stormed into the bathroom to have my bath, the water was cold as usual and I don't really like warm water bath so I stick to my cold water showers in the morning; stormed out the way I stormed in because I was already running late dressed up and got ready to leave, knocked at the door of my parent's room to inform them that I was leaving while my dad was preparing to leave as well. I walked out of the gate in a new area and a new street it felt weird as I wasn't used to the area.

Coming out of my street and sighted "dark handsomeness" in my head I was the what ifs and the what not like "omg, what if I'm too small to be friends with him, what if he doesn't even like me at all because he doesn't look at me at all" all the thoughts in my head as I walked to school. Got to school and saw my friends I was able to get him off my mind today, I really needed it though my final exams were fast approaching, during short break at school I spoke to my closest friend about "dark handsomeness" she laughed and asked me if I could guess how old he was---- told her I couldn't but I knew he was way older than I was as at then. Talking to her got me relieved though but it didn't take away the fact that I had a huge crush on him.
