Ogundipe oluwatoyin amos EMOTIONAL BETRAYAL….
I can remember quite vividly that early Monday morning of first term resumption, then I was in ss1 when a handsome young boy was introduced as my new classmate.
It was another season of competition among our girls about who will befriend him first.
From childhood, I’m not a friendship type so I can stay a place for years without having a friend and if I eventually make a friend, that will remain my friend until I leave the place.
And I really love my friends, I like to keep friendships and once I take you as a friend, I’m ready to take your every of your excesses without getting upset.
Amidst the struggles for who will be this handsome, English-speaking young man’s friend, that was the last thing on my mind, infact I was irritated by the girls swamming around him like bees.
I think that made him spot me cos I’m always at my corner trying to finish the plenty novels I always borrow from the school library.
It was during break time that day, I can count how many break periods I used in secondary school.
I was sitted at my corner in the almost-empty classroom, reading my novels when Mr.handsome walked up to me smiling.
“Hi” he said,
I was not even happy with him walking up to me, infact I’ve made up my mind that I won’t talk to him until I leave the school because I don’t want to compete with anybody (funny, the mentality I had then).
Trying to hide my feelings I replied him, he said his name is Mr.A, from….. and a great deal of details about him.
He went further to tell me how his father asked him to look for someone serious in his new class and make the person a friend and how I fitted into that description as he has noticed I hardly play around, always reading and how I’m close to many teachers, and so on and forth.
Before long we became real friends which turns out to be a turning point in my life!
Stay tuned for the next part
