THE GIRL AM DATING episode 1
Love is a mystery for most people and they havenāt gotten the true grips of it yet and I was once a victim to this fact of not understanding what love is.
I have always been very bad with love but not that bad, my name is Chimuka āmeaning lateā funny right š and just like my name am always late ā° please people choose wisely what you name your children. Back to my story, am 16 years old and doing my final year of secondary school, at my school am the guy you wouldnāt want to associate yourself with, am the guy with zero interest in school am always late so itās hard for me to understand what they teach us, but why do I still go to school if I have no interest in it and managed to reach my grade 12 š¤·āāļø
Well!! It all goes back two years ago when we just reported at school in grade 10, everyone was looking fresh and clean, ready for school and everyone was there interacting with each other, who wouldnāt be happy they all made it to grade 10š but yeah I was there looking all lost, am not an introvert by the way incase you are wondering why I was looking all lost, I was the only one in clothes everyone was in there uniforms, I never thought people where this interested in school I thought first day of school was just you go there to register and go back home but that wasnāt the case, we were taken to class after settling down then came in this angel fully equipped no detail was missing on her, she carried eyes that would melt your Saul when you look at them for a long time, her hair was long dark with a dark chocolate skin, this girl was everything a guy could dream of.
After I saw this girl I knew thereās way am going to miss class, so yeah thatās how this girl became my motivation for going to class, I just wanted to see her every day , though I was bad with school stuff I tried my best to get a 40% so that am not dropped out of her class. I spent my grade 10 and 11 crushing on this girl I couldnāt tell her of what I felt for her coz I was the guy with pass in all my exams and she was the girl with distinction in all her exams š all my friends knew about my crush for her so no one dared to go after her š
In grade 12 first term, I read an article on how a guy won a girl by being good in mathematics so I decided Iāll be good in math, and that term I studied hard, harder than ever before š we wrote our end of term exam I had 43% it was an achievement from 40% to 43%, but this didnāt make me win the girl š coz she was the highest in class she had 96%.
Two days after the results where issued to us we went for holiday for like a month, that month I studied I knew I had potential I just needed to put more effort, so I did put effort in my studies, one month down the line schools opened and we all reported but mercy was no where to be seen, a week past, two weeks passed, three weeks passed she was still no where to be seen.
āby the way mercy is the girl I was crushing on for the past two yearsā
A month went and she was still no where to be seen, until the term ended ā3months latterā we all forgot about mercy she disappeared just like thatā¹ļø. school became boring again I had no motivation for going there that term my grades dropped And it was our mock exams, the head teacher called my parents to school and discussed about how my performance got bad, I was almost made to repeat a grade but my parents paid the situation off and I was allowed to proceed and told to put more effort for my final exams.
I spent that second term holiday indoors, sleeping most of the times, I felt heart broken as if I was dating the girl, three weeks down the line mom noticed how I have been indoors this holiday and none of my friends came to visit, so she came to my room and asked me what was going on, I pretended everything was okay and that I was just concerned with school and how am going to push my grades again. Mom counseled me and encouraged me that everything will be okay and that I should be moving out of my room to get some fresh air, so she gave me some money to go and get myself something out.
I went out that afternoon, for a walk when I bumped into my crush š I jumped onto her and hugged her shouting āmercy where have you been all this while we have been wondering and concerned about your whereabouts, you havenāt come to school for the past three months, what happened did you change school?ā
The girl was surprised and was like āwho are you and what do you mean mercy ā
I responded āmercy donāt pretend you canāt remember me itās only been three monthsā
The girl responded ābut I truly donāt know youā
I noticed the girlās facial expression was off and I knew she was being honest she didnāt know me, but I still insisted it was her and was like mercy thereās no way I wouldnāt know you no matter what nah, anyways am Chimuka, your class mate we have been wondering where you have been the whole last term you didnāt show up at school.
The girl responded, āam sorry Chimuka, I am not mercy and I donāt even know how you know her and what do you mean she hasnāt been coming to school for the past three months, did she come to your school before that?ā
I was surprised people would look this alike and I apologized to the girl for my behavior and told her of how mercy hasnāt been coming to school for a while now. She then told me she is mercyās twin sister upon hearing my story she started crying, so I asked her why she was crying only to find out that mercy died three years ago in a car accident... TBC
