School Love - S01 E01

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1

DAMILOLA POV

It all started with a look. I never believed in love at first sight, I always believed it to be nonsense and silly stuff until now that it was happening to me. I fell in love with Joseph the first day he entered my class, he was tall, fair and had a black hair with sporting waves, and had a seductive smile that made him look sexy and handsome. Not only was He was very brilliant and was the main gist in the class and of course girls were just over him, but what made me love him more was that he wasn’t a girl type, he wasn’t interested in any of them, he didn’t even feel anything towards them. Our school of course was a kind of school that usually nicknamed any new student, he was nicknamed robot because he always walked like a robot. But l nicknamed him Captain Joe because he was chosen as the class captain a week after he resumed in our school and he was the captain of my life. He was the only person i have ever steal glances at he also made me shrive whenever he looked at me with those eyes I knew what people meant by love and love at first sight.

I was crushing on him not minding his feeling towards me; I just wanted him to be beside me always. I wanted to be in his arm and hug him tight. He was a new student and he needed help in some areas since he joined us in the sixth week of the term, but Tunde rushed over to him, while I wanted to approach him and they became friends. I was scared and shy to approach him and now Tunde had gotten in the way and done it, I was sad not because he and Tunde were now friends but because he now had a friend and me, I wanted him all to myself.

While thinking I felt a soft touch on my shoulder that made me shrink and jolted back to life, I looked up only to find him staring at me with those tempting eyes and seductive smile. I immediately felt andreline running in my body, I was now visibly shaking. Least I forget my name is Damilola, am tall, fair just like Joseph. Am brilliant but not like Joseph but I always did my best in my studies.

“Hi I am Joseph, what’s your name”? He asked smiling and winks at me with those charming eyes.

“H-I my nam-e i-s Damilola but my friends call me d- girl” I replied with a shaking voice.

“Nice meeting you”. I like your Name but I will prefer to call you damshi, I usually watch Korean movies and I liked the name, am a fan of Korean movies.

“But Joseph, the name sounds awkward,” just call me dami.

“That sounds alright”, okay dami I can see you are smiling now, I saw you looking gloomy and decided to cheer you up, and now that I have done I have to go because I got some things to do.

I almost shouted no!, don’t go, but I just managed to say “bye”

“Okay” he left.

I became sad again but cheered up when I remembered his angelic voice and pictured him singing love songs to my hearing with his seductive smile “am really in love”.

Days, weeks passed by and Joseph became very popular in the school, he was liked and loved by both teachers and students, he never talked to me after our last discussion, I guess he is always busy, even during the break he is always busy, and I couldn’t bring myself to go to him, not that I didn’t want to, but I wanted to protect my pride. You know that girl mentality that the guy has to meet her, but this is not a relationship and I don’t know what he even feels for me. But still I can’t go to him maybe if I become gloomy again he would come to me, but that didn’t work again after that first time or did he know I was pretending so that I could get his attention. Days, weeks passed the term came to an end we vacated. I was so sad and lost concentration in whatever I was doing. I made a lot of silly and careless mistakes all in the name of love. I remembered when I mistakenly pour detergent into the beans I was cooking, mistaken it for salt while thinking of Joseph. The holiday was so boring and not seeing the captain of my life worsened it, at least in school I still steal glances at him but now I couldn’t, I was madly in love with him. I prayed the holiday to end quickly and God answered my prayer, the holiday went by and we were to resume on Monday. I was just so happy on Sunday that I joined the choir that day, something that I would never have done on a normal Sunday, My family was surprised at my sudden change of behavior, my sister tried asking me about my sudden change of behavior and lifestyle but I dodged the question.

No doubt the love was having effect on me I couldn’t sleep at night. I was so anxious to see the love of my life on Monday. Monday finally came and I was joyful, my joy knew no bound. I was so happy that I didn’t look before crossing

The road in which I almost got hit by a coming vehicle, I didn’t even bother to listen to the curses the driver rained on me; they didn’t matter as far as my love is concerned. I boarded a bike and alighted at the school gate. I heaved a sigh of relief immediately I got down from the bike; I looked around before entering the school compound. The school was very bushy and the compound littered with papers, nylons and feaces of rams and goats on the corridors of the class rooms, that signifies that we are going to do a hell lot of work today. That’s why I don’t like going to school on the first day of resumption; I only came because I missed Joseph. The school was full of students walking and cleaning their class rooms, I went straight to my class, I saw many of my friends and we greeted and hugged each other, while I was still using style to search for Joseph, finally I saw him walk into the class, he was looking smart and handsome..
