✨ TELL US A LOVE STORY ✨

A nostalgic journey back to high school romance.

I had seen this prompt since morning but I was running away from it. I have been avoiding love talk since I was recently served breakfast (slang for breakup). This will be a story for another day when I'm done grieving. LOL

So it was 10 years ago, around 2015/2016. chai, I am getting old already 😭. I was in Senior High School and just got home from the long holiday break. I was in boarding school so my parents had dropped me in the hostel on Sunday evening. My school had two branches, the other branch came to write WAEC in my school's branch because that was the registered center. When I resumed hostel that evening, there were new faces and it kinda felt weird at first.

Later that week, we had night prep and that was when this young lady came to sit beside me. Her name was Elvin, she was a light skinned girl with brilliant eyes and a sweet personality, veryy good looking girl. That time, my spec was light skinned girls LOL.

She came and said to me that she needed help with Mathematics, I remember it was this topic called "Arithmetic and Geometric Progression". I was pretty good at Mathematics in my school and was known as the best at that time.

I didn't mind helping her out. She sat beside me and we worked for hours trying to make her understand. It was after she had left that my female classmate who had been watching us instead of reading her book now said to me: "Ola, watin you dey do with her"

I was confused where that question was coming from. That was when that female classmate told me that Elvin was the head girl in our other school branch and she was a scholar, she was the best student in the other branch. And she further told me that Elvin had boyfriend. She was now scaring me saying:

"Let her boyfriend catch you Ola"

💡 It clicked: That was when it dawned on me that girls can be very cunning o 😹. Elvin pretended like she was terrible at Mathematics so she could get close to me. It was a very funny and bold move and I am the kinda guy that falls in love with a girl immediately when she pulls off stunts like this. That boldness and tactic always tripps me even at my young adult age now 😹.

Elvin sent a letter to me later that week and we eventually got even closer. I was shocked because she was older than me in class and age, I didn't think she could fall for me.

Elvin was one of the smartest girls I have ever met. I remember she helped me pass my test one time. I went to register for Jamb and got to school late that day. Elvin crash coursed Calculus(Differentiation) in 4 mins to me. I got to the class and wanted to write the test, the teacher was thinking I would fail because I came in late, but I ended up being the only one that passed that test(Thanks to Elvin). I remember when I got sick and she helped me write my physics note. She was the sweetest person I had ever met.

I remember one night, we were studying in night prep and NEPA took light. She legit dragged me and kissed me. I had to push her away quick cos it would be so weird if NEPA brought light back and everyone caught us lip locked.

I took her to prom and we had many fun and memorable times together. We eventually ended things cos she graduated and had to move to the next phase of her life. I was still a high school student then so I knew I had to just move on.

It was a really good experience. I was smiling again as I was writing this story.
