Sharing the story about my first love!

Where and how we met

While I was still in secondary school, I was one of the most brilliant and brighten girls, to be sincere I think I had some atom of pride in me. I attended Zenith Comprehensive Secondary School in Abia State Nigeria which was one of the best schools in the area though a private school. I'd like to flirt with boys, dance, gist, crack jokes and more. Almost all the guys in class likes me, you wonder how I know that right? Well, I see it in their eyes; but then I made a promise to dad not to have a boyfriend until I was done with secondary education it was actually one of the toughest promise and decision I ever made because each day it seems so difficult and I was been attracted to the guys the more.

I've come to realised that in life the things you want to avoid keep running to you maybe they're some of temptation or urge I just can't tell. Well, I actually love a lot of guys in my class but then my promise to dad held me back and the position I occupy in the school, yeah I didn't tell you that I was the school head girl so I wanted to lead by example. I told myself that I will have to date the guy I love after my senior waec.

There was this boy Miracle who was attending St Augustine, it was an Anglican Communion Church School I and my friends normally meet him on the way whenever we're coming back from school and him too coming back, he seems to be loved by almost all girls even my three best friends love and adore him, I can bet they wished to be in his arms. I didn't see anything special about this guy but then one thing is certain, he was good looking with a round face, darked with a pinky lips and tall hmmmm I guess that would always be every woman's dream but then with no reason, I never liked him maybe because I felt he was proud or arrogant which I don't even think he was or that was just a trick I used in getting his attention.

Yeah I'm good in the game I have always believe that I can get whatever I want, I noticed that guys don't like girls that throw themselves on them so I decided to act as if I don't see him and boom I caught his attention.

One day as we were returning from school, we saw him a far and my friends were screaming his name and he waited, when we got there to my surprise or everyone surprised he moved to me because I was by the left side of the road while my friends were by the right side, he asked my name and I replied reluctantly then he whispered to my ear "I like you". He will always want to wait for me by the road side since his school dismisses before mine and we walked home together discussing and laughing. That got my girls jealous but who cares? I moved on, but I told him that we have to remain friends until we're done with our waec since we both were in the same level.

Fast forwarded to after waec, he then remainded me that we were done with secondary school so we can date, that wonderful day, he asked me out and yeah I said yes.

How did things go

Our relationship was sweet, I loved him and it was obvious that he love me in return. We became best friends, gistmate or rather gossip mate. He made sure he was always there for me, he calls to check up on me and because of him I will never miss any church activity because I know he was going to be there just to see me.

The church became our meeting place, we sit together in church and hold hands I guess no one noticed. We agreed to marry each other; you can imagine that kind expensive play. One of the best thing he gifted me was an apple he said it was as a symbol of our love, I tried my best in preserving the apple until the day my brother ate it without knowing he was eating my love. I cried so bitterly, my brother promise to get another apple for me but it wasn't about the apple it was about my love.

What went wrong

As planned, the relationship was going smoothly until the day he visited me. He has always wanted to come to my house but I pleaded with him not to because my Dad will have to kill me for having a boyfriend.

He came to the house meeting my dad at the corridor, they exchanged pleasantries and the next statement my dad made was so shocking.

He said blood was ticker than water and I was wondering what brought about the statement, my dad called me to come and meet my brother, it shocked you right? Yea I was shocked as well Miracle was shocked too, Then we both chorus how? Then dad explained how we shared the same great grand grand parents and by so doing we are siblings.

I was so angry with myself, I felt disappointed and used, I couldn't even talk to Miracle, he left after so many attempts of talking to me failed. I started avoiding him, I don't take his calls or even go to church our usual spot. Two weeks later, I was to travel to Abuja, so I felt it was wise to let him know I called him and told him, his words left both of us in tears he said and I quote "No wonder we bonded so easily, we might not have been made for each other but I will also remember and love you all my life". ...
