I was in primary 3 when I got transferred to a new primary
school. There we had slightly richer kids and more pretty ones too. One of the
very first girl I had a crush on was Nike.
Nike was in my lil mind then a damsel, not too skinny not
too fat, light skinned, jst perfect especially with her beauty spot which was
slightly above her lips; I can still remember kissing those soft tender pink
lips Damn!
One day my friend Chuma who was in my class told me how he
and a girl kissed on the stairs and me and Nike were already kindda into each
other. She always wanted me to eat out of her meals, came to me for stuffs, etc
Una know all dem primary sch stunts na. So I never liked losing out on an experience,
so I asked Nike during breaktime to come with me to the stairs, saying I wanted
to show her something there. When we got there I was sweating and freakishly
timid or shy not sure which one tho, so she asked “where is the thing you want
to show me?” I said “ am looking for it on the wall” I was totally freaking out
with my heart beating so fast I thought I was going to pass out. She got tired
of waiting then wanted to start going when out of nowhere I grabbed her hands,
pulled her closer and planted my lips on hers. That might have been the world
record for fastest “Lip Peek” in history because her reflex action was so fast I
thought she was related to Flash, she pushed me back quickly and said “Tunde, I
hate U, don’t talk to me again!”. Ok, I must confess at this point I was more
concerned if she was going to report me to the teacher than her claim of hate
lol. She walked away angrily. We didn’t talk for the next 3 days. So as a
gentleman, I sucked it up and approached her, I sat down next to her and said “I’m
sorry for kissing you” and she said “I forgive you but why did you kiss me?”
Now before I continue you all must understand this truth
about me, I have an amazing ability to cook up the best response at a
nanosecond notice, whether I needed to lie or spin the truth, I was blessed
with it. Please this gift that am blessed with does not qualify me as a Yoruba demon
yet o! Make una calm down… Now back to the story
Then I replied “I thought
that’s how people show that they like someone…” then I lied that I saw it in a
movie or something. Her response was shocking, she then said “so you like me? Am
I your girlfriend?” Now remember I said I had a gift, this was my response “I really
do like and want to kiss you everytime so you will know I really like you” this
response was so perfect that she forgot the whole “am I your girlfriend question”
and went on to say with a blushing smile “Tunde you are not serious, go jor”…
well that was the beginning of a lot of kissing between me and Nike. So during
all these kissing sessions with Nike I found myself crushing for the finest
girl in class, her name is Tobi.
I have to take a quick break to find words to describe Tobi.
Nike was fair in complexion but Tobi has this flawless chocolate skin which was always shining. Her beauty was WOW! That’s the best way to
describe her. Please take note I was still in primary 3, didn’t know much so
wow was the word to describe her. She was so cool and smiled a lot and her skin
was so soft damn!
In case I never mentioned it earlier, am a very shy dude and
had no courage to approach the ladies even till date. Yes Till Date!
But as God almighty would have it, Tobi was my sit partner
and we were already friends although she covered her note during dictations
then,i started spelling late but was a god in maths so don’t go think am one “olodo”
So because I was shy to express my feelings I just crushed
from afar even if we were sitting together in class. Well as time passed I found
myself spending a lot more time with Tobi than Nike, friends always teased us
that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, I will always smile and wish this was
true but Tobi would always go “never! This one that cannot even spell” Come to
think of it, I think it was statements like that that made me teach myself how
to read and spell, I can remember spending the whole day with my English grammar
textbook trying to figure the whole thing out and I conquered.
One day we had a spelling and dictation classwork, as you
have guessed I aced it perfectly especially the big word “encyclopedia” which
our teacher didn’t think any of us could spell. I think because of this new
improved Tunde, Tobi started seeing me differently, she never covered her note
again too.
A lovely day came when both our folks came late so pick us
from school and we were sitting on the swing waiting when she asked me if I liked
her. Well I was so shocked I almost fell off the swing, I said “of course I do
like you but I know you don’t like me sha” she said “I like you but you are
always with Nike, is she your girlfriend” without thinking twice I said “no o!
we are just friends” that’s when I saw the smile that could end wars on her
face. That marked the beginning of a wonderful relationship till early primary
6 when we drifted apart.
My friends were always teasing me how I was having two girls
in the same class but really I was just a nice guy and Tobi was a better
kisser. So you can’t blame me for wanting chocolate instead garri.
Anyways little by little I added to the list of girls on my
roaster and deleted some also.
But there was Helen and Bunmi my darlings in primary 6…
I will stop here … should I continue??
Comment your thoughts if you want me to continue with the
story.
N.B I must say again, am not a writer so pardon my writing
structure and language.
