What's this tingling feeling. Why can't I sleep. A little boy in Jss2 was undergoing all these. He has had his first crush. He has decided he's going to fight this feeling. He's going to tell her that he likes her. Being a novice he decides to write a letter to her. Guess what!! He gets caught the very first day he wrote his first love letter. The little boy was flogged. He wept but felt accomplished that he was still able to pass the letter to his crush. Time flew, he's had his first of many experiences yet to come.
He's now in Jss3. He's learned that the very first rule is don't get caught writing or delivering a love letter. The long holiday finally arrived. He had gone for holidays at a family friend's place. He notices that the same feeling from back then has crept all over him again. This time he's tripping for a slim slender girl. His family friend's niece. Knowing how risky it is writing love letters he decides he's going to confess his feelings for her verbally. Waiting for the right time he keeps rehearsing his words to himself. The perfect opportunity finally arrives on a beautiful Sunny morning after breakfast. The family had finished eating but he pretended to be a slow eater because he's noticed the niece is a slow eater. Finally it's time to drop the bomb. Little guy is scared. Thoughts were going on in his head. Would she slap me. Would she report me. Well.. He decided to take the risk. He said to her"there's something i want to tell you but i don't know how to say it ". In her sweet tiny voice she urges him to go on. He tells her he's too shy. That he would prefer writing it down. She gets him a piece of paper and a biro. He writes "i"...he contemplated on whether to use like or love. As a first timer or maybe someone still new in the process he decides to use like. He writes "i like you" and then passed the note to her. She smiled, read it and left the room. He's now scared. He began wondering if she had gone to report him. Few minutes later. She came back with the same piece of paper but with another note written on it. She passes it to him. And behold the very words he hoped for were boldly written on it. "i like you too". He's finally accomplished a mission. Holidays finally come to an end. The little boy returns to school. He left his first love in the city of Enugu. Now his eyes are opened.
He's now in Ss1. Being in a private secondary school helped his ministry a lot. Pretty girls everywhere. A new girl named Amaka has popped up in his class. She was on low cut. Pretty and also smart. She caught he's eye for the first few weeks. Unfortunately the boy had to change to a Federal Secondary school. yet each day after school he stopped by at his previous school just to see this new girl. He decided he was done writing letters for now. He needed to up his game. He bought a rose flower on a very beautiful day and decided to ask her out with it. He set off to his previous school. He saw her. Remembered what he had seen in movies, knelt down and asked her to be his girlfriend. Of course she said yes. Little did she know he's got another girl in the city of Enugu. That's two girls in less than a year. He's feeling like a champ little did he know he's becoming a beast. Surprisingly he became sincere to this very girl. He lasted for a year with this girl. He was still happy he was dating and then he started noticing another girl named Ella in his current school. She's cute. Black beauty and has this classy looking that he likes. He began plotting two moves. First to break up with his then current girlfriend and secondly to get this Ella to like him. He finally broke up with Amaka on father's Sunday. She cried but he felt it was just another phase of life .
Now he embarked on operation get Ella. He started by trying to get her talk to him. She was in Ss3 A while he was in SS3C. he noticed her daily routine. She always came to classes during break period to pick one or two stuffs before heading to the hostel . So one day he approached her. He got to start talking with her. He felt a very strong connection with her. Perhaps this is his first True love. He found out she was born on 25th of December. Yeah Christmas Day. She was madly in love with BankyW's song titled 'yes/no' ..she also loved high school musical. Guess what he did. He went and learnt the lyrics of these two songs just because of her. He was never into music but because of her he updated his music play list so she could listen to music on his phone. My guy is finally getting this babe to like him. He decided to take his time. He got to find out her grandma was his food and Nutrition teacher. Still not scared he was determined to get her at all cost . He finally asked Ella out and she said yes. He really loved her. During the relationship, Ella's phone got stolen and she complained to him. He decided to man up. He used his savings and bought her A NOKIA 2700 back then. She was so happy. Then the rumors started to come in. All mouths were saying that Ella was cheating on her boyfriend. Our young boy heard it but still loved Ella unconditionally. Rumors had it that she was indulged in some activities. He got moved by those rumors. He approached Ella and asked if what he heard was true. She said yes but that was then. He loved her more despite the rumors that kept rolling in. Waec and Neco examinations were fast approaching. He was still Dating Ella. They've been so happy together. Waec finished, school could not pull them apart he visited her often at home. he even went as far as going to see her at home just to kiss her hands and then return to his abode. Neco exams were fast approaching and they were still together. He was determined to give his all. Problems started coming into the relationship when he came to see her on a particular day, she sent a friend to tell him that the relationship was over. She also returned the necklace he gave her. She said she needed a break . The young boy was deeply hurt that he wept and went home. For the first time love had dealt him the first of many blows. They both finished exams and were still observing the break. Both wrote jamb. The young boy was admitted to a Private University and decided he had to go and see his love despite the break. It was a cloudy day and he set out to her house. He met her, they talked and she was so happy to see him. He asked her if she was coming back to him and then she broke down in tears. With a tearful look she said no. That she's sorry she's got to hurt him. Her reason being dat he was going to a far away private University and couldn't handle the distance. The guy broke down in tears too. Sorrowful that he's first true love was never coming back to him. They both had a long kiss... Both were in tears and she asked him to leave her house. She felt so bad that she was the reason this young boy was weeping. He then said good bye. The last time he was to see his love in years. As he was returning home. Looking scornful and sorrowful, the heavens let loose. The rains beat him from Ella's street all the way to his doorstep. He lost his appetite for a day or two and then he became sick. He had malaria. He alone knew what he was going through. He knew it wasn't malaria. He knew it was his first heartbreak. Was this how heartbreaks felt? He asked himself.
