Onesided

My first real crush

Thump! Thump! Thump!

That was the sound of my racing heart. There was this sudden surge of emotions brewing inside me, the type I've never experience before. And there he stood looking like an angel, an angel that's taking my breath away, and i'm being serious right now.

Like I can barely breath, talkless of making eye contact with this supposed angel. And this damn angel is walking towards me right

Oh my god, I'm losing my composure, I need to look cool, I quickly adjusted myself and made a straight face. I could feel my heart squeezing in my chest like it's about to pop out, I became all sweaty and jittery, I was like a complete fool, but luckily for me he walked past me swiftly and stopped behind me and took a seat, that was the last seat there.

Hmmmm I breath in relief, but I couldn't help but think his eyes were fixated on my back, or maybe I was in my head.

I think he's a new student, mercy whispéred to me.

Well clearly he is , I said

He's kinda cute too, she said,

Hmm mercy, you've started crushing on the new guy, I said.

Meanwhile i'm doing the same but the difference is that I know how to hide my feelings and keep an expressionless face.

Nooo! I don't have a crush on anyone, I'm just saying he's cute that's all, she tried to deny but her blushing face didn't do her any justice.

I could not even turn around to steal a glance, but I know he was observing everyone, he had not said a single word since he came, he just sat there looking here and there.

He didn't seem confused though, he just sat there looking chill.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

That was the signal for morning devotion or as we like to call it here in Nigeria 🇳🇬 *assembly*.

We all quickly marched downstairs to participate.

After few minutes we we are done with the assembly and we quickly marched into our class to get ready for the day's lecture
