October Feelings

Roland The bell of the church could be heard from our home, I wasn’t able to join them today because I had a terrible morning headache but I was able to lead the morning prayer here at home. My name’s Roland McCalther Ebel the 13th, I come from a family of reverend fathers and as the first male child, it’s already been decided that I will be the next in line after my father, it’s been like that for a long time so there’s no going back on that. Today I will be going to college, the community college here in our town, a lot of my friends and people I know will be going there so I have know problem. It’s a bit far from my home....okay it’s far from my home but hey! At least I won’t be bothered about my siblings ruining my day every time. My stuffs have been packed and waiting down stairs for me to pickup. I take a last look around my room before shutting the door and locking it. I stuff the key into my pocket giving my mom a spare before heading downstairs to pick my stuffs and leave to my car. The plan of the day was to drive to the church, get blessed by the reverend fathers and the bishop, go to the grocery store and then drive to college. I hugged my mom and my little sister, gave my younger brother a fist bump and got into my car not forgetting to wave before driving off. The drive to the church from home wasn’t far, I got here within six minutes, I walked in and met my dad with other reverend fathers having a talk with the bishop. After the prayer and blessings, I rushed to the grocery store, my kneels have never felt so sore in my life! I knelt there for almost two hours!! I got some stuffs like deodorant, lotion, you know, the basic toiletries. I head to the college a little bit late. Thanks dad! I quickly got settled, my parents paid for a single room and I’ve got to say, that was the best option, my dad basically did it so I could focus more on my prayer and avoid any means of distraction and I mean any means of distraction. It was an average room, a bit smaller than mine but okay, the paint was beige and it was okay for us to hang posters but know thanks am not the poster kind of person, I prefer plain and simple. After the move in, I got to meet my friends, Greg, Lucas and Andres, Lucas and I go to the same church where as andres who is an Anglican refuses to come to our church and pray alone, Greg is an atheist....idiot I know. But anyway, we’re all still cool. “Damn! Stella really knows how to steal all attentions doesn’t she?” Greg asked as he battles on eating sushi with a fork. I roll my eyes in disgust, Stella is someone I haven known all my life and seriously, I dislike her, I won’t use the word hate because that’s to harsh but am serious, I dislike her, she’s the complete definition of hypocrite, in front of the parents she’s that Holy Mary but we all know her, she is a street wrap, basically sleeping with every cute guy that manages to fall for her. “I think Elisabeth is the star of today, I mean look at her rocking that dress, that’s a basic plain dress but Lord does she look magnificent in it” Andres says and that’s when my attention comes in. I have had a crush on Elisabeth for almost three years now, she’s the daughter of the bishop and I’ve been trying to get to know her better, the problem was that she rarely spoke to the opposite gender and that’s really great but....if only she gave a little attention. We we’re seated by the steps of the court yard and we just watched and people wandered around line flies. It was funny because we would judge their outfits and hairstyles just trying to make the day any less boring. I was about to diss a guy wearing some funny pants when I saw who he hugged. I don’t know her but Lord did she look beautiful, she had short hair and had a beautiful smile, she waved the person who seemed to be a relative of hers. I wasn’t able to see her body status well but you could tell she was small In both height. She was dressed in long free pants and an oversized purple shirt. She’s definitely the causal type. She adjusted the big round glasses on her nose and wiggles her head making her look even more cute. “ Dude!!! Who got you staring like a lost bat?!?” Lucas joked before they all looked towards my direction, they couldn’t see her face because she had started walking away and into the little garden. “Wow!” I finally said “Looks like PastorPanties here got a little change in taste for women ~~ No more elisa huh?!?” Greg joked making me toss a pebble on his head “Ow!!” “Hi guys!” We all turned after hearing a feminine voice, it was Rosa....my ex. Rosa and I had dated during high school but after I introduced her to my parents, my dad rejected her because she was mixed, her mom was an Arabian and her dad was from the states. I didn’t want to keep leading her on so I told her what my parents said, I didn’t like her The was I like Elisabeth but I tried, however, I used that as an opportunity to end things between us stating that we could still be friends. She didn’t talk to me for almost a month but things later got better. “Sup rose water” Joked Lucas “Hi Roland” It’s obvious she still has feelings for me but I don’t think I do for her, if she ever thinks of us getting back together, that must be a never happening wish. “Hey” I said in a dull tone eyes still searching for the girl with short hair. “I was searching for my cousin when I saw you guys over here, what are you guys doing anyway?” She said taking a seat beside me “Just chilling” Said Andres “Well, hope you freeze to ice, I’ve gotta find my cousin before he gets lost, bye” she said tapping my shoulder and getting up I know you just be wondering why I was searching for that girl, the reason is that I know the faces of 89% of all the people here, it’s a small community so it’s not that hard to identify someone. She seems to be new. I look at my watch and tap Lucas telling him it’s time to go to the mini church here in our college, we wave to the other two and leave. I stare on last time at the place I saw the girl, a small smile forming on my lips while thinking about how small she looked from above. “I wonder what or rather who you saw?” Lucas said bumping into me and laughing “If you saw her, you to will be mesmerized by her beauty” “A her huh? Now I know why, looks like Elisabeth got competition!” “Shut up” I say bumping he’s head and we both go on laughing all the way.
