My bestie and I episode 1 – 2

MY BESTIE & I.

(The beginning)

It started on my first day at school.
When a junior student took me into my class room, I met him seated on a desk repairing his wristwatch.

When he looked up at me and smiled broadly, I knew he was a lot of trouble, his face was just too beautiful to ignore.

I returned the favor with a giggle, he told me that he has space and I should sit beside him at the right side of the class just after the head teachers table.

We chatted until the class became filled up, many of them thought we knew each other before then, but I only knew him for few minutes.

I knew nothing back then. Yes, I was more like a dummy but I came from a wealthy family and so had no single reason to be afraid of failing.

My parents had used money to push me to Junior Secondary School One, I failed my common entrance, but it doesn’t even matter.

I was always a failure until I met him.

He helped me really. The way we became friends sometimes stuns me and I guess it’s meant to be after all.

We enjoyed each others company and he started teaching me, I was surprised to see that he lived in the same estate as me.

He always went home with his friends after school, they trek home but it changed with time when I came into the picture.

He started hopping into my car and sometimes, I walk with him.

People started talking, our classmates called us husband and wife while the male teachers who are jealous ’cause they admired me and I am always with that boy.

I was a lonely kid, my parents are there but they love their office works more than a little girl that is left under the care of her nanny.

I had no other siblings and no relatives, like cousins or nephews that lived around, they were far and I was very lonely, so I appreciated his friendship.

Whenever I decide to walk home with him, he must end up fighting with a man or men because of me and you know why? Lol, men are something else.

He’s not left out, girls are all over him like flies hovering around wounds, the guy is hot and one of a kind.

We started off as best of friends, but the chemistry that came into it was my problem, I was afraid of the feelings and what it meant because I thought he might not feel same about me and it would hurt.

He was my bestie, my pastor, my special one, my advicer, my teacher, my everything, I don’t remember how far well I could have gone with my education if not for him.

I didn’t think there’s anything that would ever make me regret the day I met him, I felt something stronger than friendships, the feelings was strange to me.

It grew deeper as days turned into weeks and weeks into months and so on, till I spent six years in secondary School with him by my side as my personal warrior and savior after God my Lord and Maker.

I didn’t miss my parents like I did during my primary school days because I had him.

He taught me so many things, good precisely and a little bad girl habit, I learnt how to cook from him and I could no longer depend on my nanny for everything.

He spent a lot of time with me, he had a senior sister, she’s not a talking kind, a bookworm and introvert.

He isn’t like that, he’s playful, a teaser and might have been a ladies man if not that he doesn’t give a damn about girls, he so respects himself and so humble that I couldn’t help tripping for him.

Sometimes, when I think he isn’t looking, I stole glances at him and wish for more, I caught him looking at me certain times but I can’t tell if he felt half what I felt.

I love hearing his voice, it brightens my face and looking at him, I will never get tired of it, when his body brushes against mine, it’s with sheer luck that I control myself.

He’s a good boy, do you know why? We shared a bed, we slept together in my bed and he didn’t do anything, nothing happened at all, I was surprised that such a person existed.

He buys clothes for me, whenever he buys for himself, he also gets the same color of cloth for me and we always go to work outs/jogging every Saturday morning.

Our parents turned out to be family friends, they hosted dinner at our places and it was all fabulous.

Sometimes, my parents won’t make it to their dinner parties, I will never miss it for anything, they celebrate about everything and they are such a closely related family.

His grandma is a lovely old woman, her mother is wonderful and his father is nice, they make out time for their two kids and I became one of those kids.

They adored me and took me as theirs, I felt loved and belonged in a family that time of my life because of him.

When I dream, I dream of him. Maybe one day, dreams will come true, because, I really love him.

I became addicted to romantic novels because of him and he never fails to buy me books and material things which he knew I would love, gosh, I love just anything as far as it comes from him.

He took me out countless times after church every Sunday, he just makes out time for me no matter how busy he gets at home or at where he does his part time job to support his family combined with his education.

He’s just a genius, a dream come true and every woman’s dream.

I kept wishing, wishing and wishing because I really wanted more, more and more, but the more I fall for him, the more fearful I became.

(My birthday gift )

We wrote our West Africa Exam together in our school.

My report stunned me, I felt happy that after everything I am the one that got 5 straight As and 4 Credits with a wonderful remark from the school principal.

My parents were happy, my dad hosted a party for the celebration of my hard work, but he disappointed me, he wasn’t even present at the party and my mother too.

All they know is work and work, what about a lonely girl that wants to see her parents smiling down at her proudly like every other parents out there?

I did feel bad, but my bestie told me; “everything they are doing is for your own good. They really love you and want the best for you”

I hugged him for those words and the party was a blast with him by my side and his parent’s good wishes clung to my soul.

The school graduation ceremony was also amazing. But he met a girl, the girl came to our graduation with her brother, she caught his attention and he looked distracted all through that day.

I felt sad. I didn’t need to be told that he’s attracted to her and my stomach churned at the thought of watching him staring at another girl.

He felt unsettled, but he didn’t get a chance to talk to her, honestly, I felt jealous and I was happy when he wasn’t able to get close to her.

After that day, the few days that followed were normal.

He’s an extraordinary person.

A handsome fella. Every woman’s dream.

He became an apprentice since he gat no money for school, while I continued my school at UNILAG.

He came to visit me in school after we spent two years apart, he’s too busy with work while I’m busy with my studies!

But as busy as we are, he doesn’t fail to call me each and every day to tease me and he’s always online chatting with me.

You need to see the moment he got into my school, gosh!

I couldn’t believe my eyes, he has grown beared and has changed alot.

Now, he’s over handsome! He’s taller and so broad chested that I didn’t recognize him at first.

He’s much more compared to the pics he sends me on social media.

But you know I can’t forget such a gorgeous and breathtaking face, I ran into his arms and he lifted me off my feet and we twirled in the air for moments before we were snapped back to reality by the attentions we drew to us.

I took him to my hostel and all my friends ran around him like flies, they all want his number and I can’t help feeling jealous when he mingled with them.

I made his favourite food for him and he gave me a gift after eating, he didn’t forget to tease me that I haven’t learnt how to cook.

I opened his gift and it’s a male cloth, the same clothe he’s wearing and the same canvas as well.

He told me to get dressed in them so we would go out as we used to before.

We looked like brothers. Instead of a boy and a girl going out, it’s like a boy and his elder brother going to dinner.

Funny how he still remembers that I like dressing like a boy and I like somewhere quiet and peaceful.

He took me to a tennis court and gave me another gift which he says is for my birthday.

My birthday was last week and he only wished me well while he promised to come, and here he is.

I opened it and boom! It’s a romantic novel from my favorite author, a pen that bears my name and a blank paper…

My bestie is the best, he never forgets my interests.

Now, I will read that beautiful love story, and take notes! Then, I will go and create mine.

If you want to make me happy on my birthday, please buy me a romantic novel or tell me a love story.

Love is always real and genuine in stories and movies!

Even after break up, they still make up but in reality.
Hmmmm…who knows, I believe more in fantasy than reality.

TBC.
