She came into my neighborhood unannounced and infiltrated the world of my dreams. ”Who is she, what she represents, what is she like and the reason why she was in my neighborhood” were the first four questions that came to my mind the first day i set my eyes on her. I was just a playful high schooler when our parts first crossed, i saw her that day and it felt like all moving objects around me came to alt. She was the only being I could see at that moment, she didn’t notice me but then i couldn’t stop staring at her as she walked past me, I wondered who her parents was because she was a new face…
I was curious about her because she has this peculiar face that just won’t make me stop blushing when i see her, i was very desperate to find out more about her. I was on my way back from school one day when our parts crossed again, this was the second time. I chose to reduce the speed of my movement to see the compound she would be entering, I slowed down a bit and saw her entering into the compound opposite my house, I immediately ran inside to drop my school bag before going to investigate where she stays in particular…
Her compound is one of the places I visit constantly, I didn’t know i knew her parents until i saw her coming out with them that same day. I saw her walking towards my direction while her mum accompanied her, they were just like siblings, I greeted her mum because I knew her and her husband quite well, she responded to me by calling my name. I pretended i had something to do and immediately evacuated the compound feeling kinda shy…
I left the compound smiling from ears to mouth because i had eventually found out who she was and where she stays, the next thing was how to talk to her and become friends with her. I kept on going into her compound under the pretext of searching for something, the real reason was that i just wanted to see her up close and always. She is always on her own and by herself doing the things she love, and she is mostly with her younger brother. She has good communicating skills and one hell of a temper, but then she is easy going…
I thought of different ways to befriend her but then I wasn’t confident enough neither was I ready to be ridiculed by a girl because I want to be friends with her, back then i was as dark as the burnt part of a pot, my complexion was quite challenging enough for me not to talk more of her…
I was on my own one day when her Dad sent for me, upon getting there he asked i and my other friend to accompany her to the gas station to fill up the 6kg gas cylinder. I couldn’t resist the offer because she was also going with us, i was happy deep down (that feeling of walking side by side with your secret crush😂😜❤️) Happiness wanted to wound me 😂. I saw that as an opportunity to make friends with her. I thought it was going to be that easy until this girl just carried the cylinder and started walking ahead of us like she knew where she was going to, she didn’t speak to either of us and just kept walking away. She would wait for us to take the lead whenever she doesn’t know the next turn…
My friend and I couldn’t help but talk about her while we walked behind her, we eventually got to the gas station and the cylinder was filled. Before we knew it again she carried the cylinder immediately after it was filled and was about moving ahead of us again like we were stalkers, i couldn’t help but stop her and offered to help her carry it home. This is me trying to make an impression 😂, and that was how everything started…
This gesture of mine changed everything, and from strangers we became acquaintance, and from acquaintance we slowly became closer until we started running errands together, at the end we became friends. This time we had gotten really close that i can now visit her whenever i want. Everything happened so far until one day…
I came home one day and found out she had moved with her family, there was no way I could contact her as I didn’t have any information about her, the only thing I had was a facebook username, which was useless in the search for her…
In conclusion, was that our last encounter?, did we meet again?, and who is she?, these are the questions i will be answering in the next part. Until then take care guys…
