A Story About My First Love

So earlier, you all got a poem, and now you’ll get a story, my creativity is really blessing you guys today, hope you enjoy a nice read of this story filled with cringe-worthy lines, cheesy childish romance and embarrassing moments.

So it was in primary school, I was in primary five then and it was a normal day in class like every other day, I was actually paying attention o, serious student like me, trying to get Grade A so my Daddy will buy me a bicycle before my friend called me and then this drama started if I had known that from the moment Segun called me, I’d enter one distasteful Nollywood movie, I would not have answered the clown.

‘Peter, help me give this note to Cynthia’ Segun said, because I sat in between Segun and Cynthia though she was on another seat, I looked at the note, saw that Baba expressed his feelings and I passed it to her. I swear I don’t know what entered me to write my own o, I just wrote on paper too ‘Cynthia, I like you too, give me a chance’, now before everyone calls me a ‘scum friend’, you need to understand that Segun dug his own grave, in Primary 4, I told Segun that I liked Cynthia, he said that I should not stress myself, that she only likes people that are already in secondary school. This guy must have been trying to discourage me so he can try the next year, he must have thought my love was fake (shut up there, what did your 8-year-old self know about love, if you don’t geddifok…………).

Anyway, it was then that I discovered that I still like Cynthia o, so I gave her the letter so she sent a letter to the both of us that ‘Let me think about it, I’ll tell you my answer later when I pass a note, that’s my answer to both of you’. Yeah so I should let you know that in our letters we didn’t write out full name in case our classmates found the later, the way we thought of this, I don’t know, but it was probably mischievous Segun’s mind that helped since he wrote the first letter, ‘C, I like you, S’ and I wrote mine in the same format so did Cynthia.

So during the second to the last period, Cynthia passed a letter to me, and you need to see the way Segun was sweating, this guy was on my neck before the letter touched my hands, the letter read ‘Sorry, S, I like P’ (). You should have seen the smile on my face, I was so happy, I just kept stealing glances at Cynthia, and she too was smiling (stupid primary school children thinking they were going to be ‘Mummy’ and ‘Daddy’ ). I won’t lie, Segun’s face was the last thing on my mind, I don’t even know the expression on his face at that moment, we were still guys though, but I noticed when we played ball, Segun will tackle me like Ramos in champions league final match, me no care, I get babe or did I?

Anyway, the next day, one of my rubbish classmates, his name must be Quadri, I can’t remember very well, this guy was sha playing detective, and he was the last destination of our letters, this boy was picking letter from the dustbin ‍️. He now told the whole class of everything that happened the day before, and the embarrassment was heavy, my friends, I swear. So at break time, Cynthia pecked my cheek and said she wanted something private that our classmates will not know about and that her plan was not for our classmates to know so we can’t be together, ha, if yesterday was the happiest day for that 8-year-old, today was the saddest, see heartbreak ehn. I was so sad, and that was the end of my one-day relationship (I’ve always said I’ve never dated, honestly, you guys cannot expect me to call this my only relationship, please no, I’m still looking for my first relationship, I didn’t even get a kiss on the mouth sef).

So that’s the story of my introduction to having a love life, I guess fate isn’t done with enjoying humor at my expense, anyway, hope you enjoyed reading the true story, Wonder says share love and light…..
