Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+)

Raymond: Its me Raymond
Aha! Shakara mode activated.

Me: Raymond from where?

Raymond: From lesson school.

Me: Hmmm. Okay.

Raymond: How’re you?

Me: I’m fine.

Raymond: Where are you at the moment?

Me: I’m at home. Any problem?

Raymond: No. Not at all. Just that I’ll love to see you.

Me: See me? What for?

Raymond; Please,just give me audience. I need to talk to you.

I just had to quit acting. His voice was calm enough to soothe my anger.

Me: Where?

Raymond: I’ll call you later in the day please.

Me : No problem.

Raymond; Thank you. Take care of yourself.

I hung up. So he didn’t mean it that he hates me? But,why would I be so positive? What if he just wants us to be friends and not go back to being together? I lost interest in the movie so I retired to my room.

That evening. He called to say that he was in front of my house. I walked out to meet him. I couldn’t read the expression on his face so I just greeted him;

Me: Good evening.

Raymond: Same to you. How are you?

Me: I’m fine.

Raymond: Are you free for a walk?

Me: Yea. Where do we walk to?

Raymond: My place.

I wanted to give him a knock on the lips but being someone who loves to explore,I followed him. We walked side by side in silence.

I focused on the road and memories of me running down that road that faithful night filled my head. We got to his house,the mother’s shop was filled with customers, some watching football, others drinking. We stole into the house and he led me to a guest room. He asked me to sit and I sat on the bed since the room had no chair;

Raymond: Make yourself comfortable please.

Me: Thank you.

There was about five minutes silence in the room before he sat down beside me.

Raymond; How was school?

Me: Fine. Thank you.

Raymond: And the waec?

Me: It was good too.

He paused for a while and continued;

Raymond; I know you’ll be asking why we’re here. I won’t waste your time. I want to apologise for my wrong choice of words. I regret ever saying those things to you when only you wanted to ask about me. I’m sorry,please forgive me.

I kept quiet,not knowing what to say. I saw him looking at me so I turned to him as well;

Me: You were angry so I don’t blame you for your words. I’m also sorry for putting you into trouble.

He smiled

Raymond: Its okay. So am I forgiven?
I nodded.

We spent the rest of the time talking about my new school and about Chidimma. When I was ready to leave,he walked me back to the junction near my house. We hugged and he reassured me that we were back together.

I smiled all the way home. I had the love of my life back and I would do anything to keep him to myself alone.

After dinner,Raymond and I talked on phone. We spoke for a very long time,giving each other hopeful hopes about our new relationship (mtn welcome back).
