First love stories can be very funny because we don't know how to handle how we were feeling back then and we just do what comes to our mind.
I did funny, awkward, and romantic stuff when I was young because as a pretty girl, I had standards. It happened that I started crushing on a guy and the truth is I have never crushed on anyone until I met this guy. It's not like he's that cute but you all know how young love is?
I was an indoor girl but whenever my mom sent me errands across the road I always made sure I dressed so well because there were lots of young guys in my area back then. But there was one particular guy I was crushing on and I had no idea he was looking for a way to talk to me as well, what I just noticed was that anytime I was going to buy something this guy always followed me.
You all know how young ladies act when they know they are beautiful, I like him but I wanted to do some shakara for him so that he wouldn't think that I am cheap, that was the word we used back then. When a guy asks a lady out and she doesn't give him a tough time it means she is a cheap girl, LoL.
So, one day I was sent to get cooked beans across the road for my sick junior sister, and on my way back, I saw this guy talking to his friends beside the road and immediately I set my eyes on him, I changed the way I was walking.
While I was catwalking from afar, I forgot to look down and when I was almost at where they were standing, I tripped and I fell. Immediately, all my shakara disappeared because I felt embarrassed and the person I was doing all the shakara for ran to where I was to help me up.
"Sorry damsel, I hope you didn't hurt yourself," he asked.
I was so ashamed and didn't know what response to give. I looked at him and that was the first time I had seen him so close, I smiled and said, "Thanks," as he helped me up.
All his friends shouted, "Wow," because of the way I looked into his eyes before I said thanks. He followed me down to where I was going, we talked but you know girls always form hard to get so I listen to him all through.
"Have been crushing on you for so long but you never give me attention," he said.
I smiled again then said, "Oh really?" Meanwhile, I was thanking God deep within me. LoL 馃槀
We became friends and we only see whenever my mom sent me to buy something, sometimes when she didn't even want to send me I was always eager to go out, my mom noticed that and she stopped sending me messages to that place.
The guy didn't see me for a while so he was forced to come down to our street and he just stood opposite our house while I was sitting outside of our house.
We were just smiling at eachother from afar and the funniest part was that he couldn't come closer and I couldn't go to where he was but seeing eachother was enough for us.
When I finished secondary school and left Ogun state I always laughed whenever I remembered how he would stand in a far place and I would be in front of our house smiling back at him.
Now if I see young girls and boys doing that I would just laugh because that looks awkward but romantic at the same time, I didn't even have a phone then so there was no how we could communicate except for him looking at me from a far distance. Love is sweet sha 馃ぃ
