Must Read: Diary Of A Broke Playboy

Before it all started,
Before i became who i am,
Before the girls,
Before the night outs,
Before the unlimited and unprotected S£x,
I was just one cool headed innocent boy who lived a simple life hoping to find true love like the ones i see in movies and praying one of my crushes would look my way.

I can safely say i’m a cute guy, chocolate skinned and standing at 5’7″. I have always loved girls and they in turn had loved me back.


At an early age of my life, i had always fantasized about meeting the perfect girl and Falling in love. My only barrier was being an introvert. No matter how many number of green lights a girl would give me, i simply could not get myself to open up and prophesy my love for her.

One of such girls was a light skinned dame back then in my jss 2, her name was Jennifer.

The mention of her name alone sent shivers down my spine and when she smiled at me, her gap teeth, i always looked at them like they were the gate to paradise. Back then, everyone in my class knew she was my crush. You know this saying that when a girl loves a guy, only the girl knows but when a guy loves a girl, everyone knows except the girl.

We would smile at each other in the classroom, talk to each other about nothing in particular and most times when my liver was upped, i would hold her hands for sometime and let her know indirectly that i had feelings for her.

I had always expected things to fall into place by itself and save me the cost of having to woo her and maybe embarrassing myself in the end.

So my friends decided they were tired of watching me trip for her silently and do nothing about it. One Thursday evening after school had closed. She stayed back because it was her turn to sweep the entire class alongside some other classmates. My friends decided it was time to let the cat out of the bag. After much coercion and persuasion, i decided to do it.

My friends watched from a distance as I approached her from the back, my heart pounding in my mouth.

“Jennifer” i called with a shaky voice, she turned in my direction and smiled at me, i froze.

“Hey, neche, how are you? ”
“I’m fine” i said and started staring at her, i couldn’t even find the words to say, i fixed my gaze at her forehead as I sq££zed the paper that was in my hand. After about 15 seconds of a staring match between us in which i could not even look her in the eye, she broke the ice.

“Are you not going home yet?” she asked me

“Ermm i’m about to” i said and decided to tell it to her anyway, she obviously was feeling me and wouldn’t want to embarrass me i thought.

“i just wanted to let you know that….. “i started and was hooked at” THAT”. She looked at me with this expression in her eyes that made me suppose she knew what i was about to say and so much wanted to hear it.

“Let me know what?” she said holding my hands and rubbing it.

“Erm, just want to let you know that i…. “ i continued my stuttering.

“Chi talk to me” she said with a great deal of concern on her face and voice.

I calmed my nerves and decided to make my last attempt.
“i just wanted to ask if you needed help sweeping the class”

I didn’t even know when I said that.

I shaa swept the whole class that day.
