She was outside and I constantly stole glances at her ..I was not totally paying attention to the lecture.. and then I noticed something..a guy walked in and approached her ..she was all smiles,she only smiles that way when she's with me.Who was this guy? I hadn't seen this face ever before ,not in my department not in my faculty ... He was quite good looking and dressed neatly ..she had Never mentioned anything about having another male friend in school to me and this particular one had to track her down to her department to see her ..I was beginning to think ,are you sure he wasn't the reason she stepped outside ? maybe she was expecting him ..I was instantly jealous..I had this overwhelming emotions all over me..I couldn't take my eyes off both of them..they talked ,held hands ..she was all smiles ,they guy looked like a smooth talker ..I was totally livid..Till this day I cannot remember any single word the lecturer said in class after then,the lecture was over for me ..I was battling plenty emotions.. She looked like she liked him.. it looked like something was about to start ,that's if it had not already started.. At the end of the day ,we met and I tried all I could not to ask the so many questions I wanted to ask..I tried to hide my emotions ..I tried to conceal my jealousy but it was evident,I couldn't hide it much am sure she noticed I wasn't my usual smiling self. After that day I tried to up whatever we had .. I called more often and took her out for lunch breaks in school even when she wasn't hungry.. we had a day off and I told her I would love us to spend the day together in my place ,I was going to call her when I was free that day and she agreed..I was happy, I finished whatever I had to do and I called her ,she didn't pick up ..I called again and again..she wasn't answering her calls.. my joy was shortlived. I decided not to call again,she had to return my calls..I waited for few hours and she hadn't called back,I constantly looked at my phone hoping she would call back..My phone rang finally but it wasn't Jessica.. it was Micheal my guy..he had gone into school and there was somewhere he wanted us to go ..so I had to come meet him in school and then we go could from there..I obliged because I needed something to distract me.. But I was about to see something that was going to change the trajectory of events for me and Jessica.I dressed up and got into school..called my friend and he told me the exact area he was at..I had only walked few minutes when I saw someone that looked like Jessica, was I dreaming? or I was beginning to see her in other people's faces? I observed closely.. Jessica was really light skinned so you could see her from afar even if she stood in a crowd..it really was Jessica..I was not seeing wrongly, she was walking with someone,a guy, that guy, that same guy from the other day ! They were almost holding hands and just taking a stroll ..it didn't even matter to them if the sun was hot..they were obviously enjoying the stroll and didn't want it to end anytime soon.. I had a mental breakdown right there..my knees were weak,felt heavy ..felt like I couldn't walk anymore,I almost had tears in my eyes..so many questions in my head,so many scenarios playing..it felt like a stab directly to my chest.I got my answer..this was why she refused taking my calls today.. or even returning them..we had planned to spend the day together but she was with another guy.. no calls to cancel our meetings,no excuses at least,she just ghosted me ..for that guy..My head was hot..but I had to be calm ,I had to be composed..they were almost close, I brightened up my face and said "Howfar" when we met..she was shocked to see me , probably felt guilty that she had played me..but none of that made any meaning to me anymore at that point ,I had made up my mind..she responded with "I dey" and was probably waiting for me to say something else or ask her any other question,I simply smiled and walked away..I didn't bother looking at the guy's face or try greeting him..I just blanked..I honestly had zero issues with him..he was a guy just like me and was only working his way out with an attractive girl,he was attracted by the same things that attracted me..it was a fair and open game ..who i had issues with was jessica , she had just run my emotions in the mud.. she knew i was waiting for her,we had agreed to spend the day together..i had called her so many times,she refused picking...and here she was,with her phone in her hand ..with another guy...my heart broke.I got to where my friend was and I just sat down.. my mood was bad..he could see.. I was in between regretting I had stepped out to see this and been happy I came out and saw it myself..Mike asked what happened and I explained everything.. he laughed at first and then got angry himself..He tried talking to calm me and make my mood brighten a bit..but I wasn't having it ..
