The quest for a lover episode 1 - the story of a lover boy

My name is mark, I am an accounting student of a well respected university in the country. I happened to have a huge crush on a lady in my department, her name is sandra. She is tall, light skin, have the curves at the right places, if am not exaggerating, she is the most beautiful lady in my department. She has this look that can melt a guy's heart. Most guys in my department said she is rude, proud and a snub because have turning them down when they politely ask to take her out. She seems to be focused on her studies and hapens to be one of the best in class. I seem not to be troubled about what people say about her because i thought she might have turned them down because of thier manner of approach.
I made up my mind my mind that I would approach her and profess my feelings to her in class.
That same day Fred my friend came and told me that he have an eye on sandra and have plans to date her, so I gave up my plans of letting my feelings known to her because I know Fred is better than me when it comes to teasing ladies, not that he is more handsome than me but he has his sugar coated tongue that can melt a lady's heart.
I would aproach her when next I see her, said Fred, from that moment it was dawn to me that I have lossed her because there is no way she would turn Fred down, he is every lady's dream to have

The next day Sandra was in a restaurant when Fred and I walked in, she was alone eating snacks, Fred gave me a smile that explains the feeling " this is the right time" this is my opportunity and I won't miss it he said excitedly. " yeah it is your opportunity go for it" I said faking a smile but deep down I was disappointed in my self for not being able to muster courage to profess my love to sandra whe i had the opportunity, but all thd se i have to let go.

Fred patted my back and said "let me go and do what i know how to do best".
"Okay bro I will just wait for you here"
Fred turned and walked towards sandra while i walked to sit closer to them where i could easily hear their conversation Fred sat on a seat opposite her
"hi" Fred greeted with a smile
Sandra looked up from her table and focused her attention back on the food she was eating without responding him.
"hey Sandra, I just said hi"
Sandra wiped off the particle of food on her lip with the serviette on the table, then turned to Fred,

"as you can see I am having my meal and am not supposed to talk while am eating" she said
" hey Sandra that is not a polite way to respond to someone who just dropped by to say hi"
" okay sorry, what can I do for you?"
" at least you should reply my greetings first before throwing questions at me"
Sandra sipped the juice on her table and then focused her attention back to Fred
" okay am fine" she said
Fred's face curved with a smile as she replied to his greeting
" are you okay now?"
" yeah am OK now"
"So how may I help you?"
Fred cleared his throat and sat comfortably on his seat.
" actually sandra, i know this might not be the right time to say this but it is eating me up, i can't help it anymore, it os clouding my thoughts, i feel like my geart will explode if i continue keping it to my self, that's why i have decided to let it out", he paused and looked at her to know if he stil had her attention. He still had her attention so he countined with his eyes fixed on her's.
" I love you Sandra. I love you very much I want us to start dating"
Sandra starred at him with a mean looking face. After starring at each other for some minutes, Fred decided to break the silence.
"Sandra please say something. Don't just stare at me" he pleaded
Sandra sighed looking directly into his eyes.
"Whats your curent CGPA?" she asked
Fred was thrown off balance by her question, he paused for a while before he finally spoke.
"Does that really matter? That's not even the issue here, anyway if you wish to know I will tell you"
He paused and looked at her face as if he was searching for her reason to know.
"Am currently 2.73 CGPA" he finally answered,
"Fred" she called
"Yes sandra"
"I think you should focus more on boosting your CGPA instead of allowing the thought of a lady clouding your mind. Go work on yourself and improve your CGPA. When you have done that and your CGPA stands on 4.5, then you can you can ask me out for a date"
She stood up, carried her handbag to leave.
"One more thing, don't even bother working on your CGPA just to prove anything to me, because it would be a wasted wasted. I don't date guys in my department, so don't just bother". She said and left.
Fred sat starring at the her as she walked out of him, I was lost in my own thoughts, I couldn't say a word to Fred, with all that she said to Fred, I had to agree with my coursemates said about her, that she is rude, proud and snub, I thanked God that I didn't tell her my feelings because I wouldn't have been able to stand all that she said to fred.

I made up my mind that i would erase all thought of her from my mind. Fred and i left the resturant without saying a word to each other.

Days went by and my feelings for sandra grows stronger, as against my decision to erase her from my mind. I tried my posible best to erase her from my mind but the feeling kept growing stronger, even to an extent that i was'nt concentrating on my studies anymore, seeing how the whole thing was affecting me, i made up my mind that i would approach her and tell her how i felt about her. The worst she can do is to insult me which would help me forget about her, but I must prepare to withstand any out come.
