The journey
535 Words
When I got to my room after the birthday party I took out the piece of paper Jude gave to me which says "please can I be your friend too" I felt a wave of joy overwhelming me but at same time I was still at a doubt,Jude is older than me, why is he interested in me?. though I said I was 12 but I have a rapid growth so I look like a girl who is 16.i tried sleeping that night but sleep wasn't coming I felt I was on top of the world.
the next day I prepared for school my dad was to take me to school on his car ,when we came outside I saw Eunice ,Jude and their dad also on their way to school,I greeted him from afar and also Eunice,i tried avoid any possible eye contact with Jude I was shy though,if I am to be frank.for fate to have it my dad's car refused to start up this brought the attention of Eunice's dad's who then came to help, my dad wished him a happy birthday which he said "that's past now, what's wrong with your car if you don't mind can I drop your daughter with my kids in school so that you can fix the car"I was saying in my heart "dad No don't do this,but on the other hand I was also thinking that it sure would be fun.my dad said yes to him and told me that he was sorry but will definitely fix the car and will pick me up during school over time and will take me to a mall for compensation, i agreed with a smile on my face ,I then walked over to Eunice's dad's car .
I sat at the back seat with Jude and Eunice through out the drive I faced downwards avoiding what I desired to do , which is to look into the eyes of Jude ,to feel how sweet is it in loving those brown eye balls oh! sorry I missed that ,Jude I fair in complexion with a set of white teeth although he rarely laugh . since last night I have developed a silly shyness attitude towards jude and he knew it but enjoyed it . Eunice tried talking to me but I kept responding in a one word manner i felt relief when we got to my school ,offering a quick thanks sir to jude's I hurriedly hopped down I believe I heard jude saying to me have a nice day but I didn't reply .
in class I couldn't concentrate I was ruminating on what I am to say to Jude I know rather what to say but how am I to say it ,I tried writing some sort of short letter to him but o end up trashing it or tearing it into pieces.oh ! my God I never knew love is this captivating, I tried thinking what he will be doing in his school now, what he is thinking about,me or what?.
when I got home I went into my room to compose something romantic having made up my mind in school on what to do.
