my love life at highschool
love at first sight
It was at the end of academic year when I was at form two ,my older sister had came to pay us a visit at my parents home and they decided that I was to join a new school at my sister's matrimonial home (where she was married) it was in another county and far away from home so I had a mixed reaction of how I was going to meet new people leave alone new school. When a new year finally arrived I was enrolled to a mixed boarding &day highschool , at first I was afraid but as time went by I gained courage and had started making friends, so I was at form three and a day schooler.
One day on a lunch break ,I had queued as others in order to be served lunch when suddenly a tall dark boy signalled me to go to where he was , so I left the queue and went ,upon approaching him ,he asked me my name and the class I were. we introduced ourselves (I and him) and at time I was so afraid to be seen talking with a him because of the strict school rules and gossiping from my fellow school mates ,after the chit and chat I did serve and went back to class.
It became his norm that he would search for me during mid breaks but I never liked him infact sometimes I would dodge him until then he started writing letters and handing them over to me through my girlfriend. He was a talented footballer and a good runner , so as time went by I started liking him too and buy me gifts . he was quite handsome and of course so many girls within the school were over him so before we started the dating thing I insisted that we go for a check up in order to know our status ,so one day we sneaked out of the school during games time and went to neigherby dispensary.well it turned out neither of us was infected so the nurse who was there gave us some advices as we gave out some questions and all this time I was so afraid , I didn't want to be identified with anyone around as the family my sister was married too was a renowned and respected family and I never wanted any rumors to start going about and avoid problems for myself so we were to walk on separate ways.
After so many months of knowing each other better ,we were much in love to each other, and he would sometimes brag about himself of how he selected me among the girls who had lined up to be served. As time went by he became the school celebrity because of his games skills and jealousy grew up upon me ,I became so paranoid and never wanted to see any lady hanging around him because I felt I loved him so much that I never wanted to share him with anygirl.He was in form four by then and a boarder so each evening when I went back home he would escort me upto almost home and we used to have a spot where we would sit and talk our things out.
At the end of year ,he sat for his KCSE exams and for the first time we were going to be far away from each other, because he was going to be a form four leaver and I was to join form four the following year,things started changing as communication between us was rare ,he was out of school and I was in school but one of my friend had a phone and I would secretly use to call him ,we would talk lengthly and at he would send me some school allowances that would help me a lot . Now for two years I dated him without being caught by school authorities ,I used to be very careful never to get suspension.
At this time our dating used to be on and off because of lack of communication as my friend had taken back her phone home and we would talk only during the holidays which was not consistent. well I sat for my final exam year too and scored a minimum grade and of course we were still together though living in different places until one day he gave me a surprise visit to our home after sharing with him my home location though my mother wasn't around only my father who didn't even gave much attention to him and after welcoming him showing my hospitality -the best way I could ,we went to board a vehicle and went to town where he took to a five star hotel ,I enjoyed myself there with the drinks and food as it was my first time to be in such an expensive hotel .
After having so much in a day ,he included by shopping for me and giving me an extra money. He again travelled back and after two months he came again to my home county to pay a visit and this time he paid for a room and we engaged in sexually activities.
He really wanted me to pay him a visit back at their home and I succeeded coning my mother who later agreed for me to leave home but with a warning in our native language "kik inindo oko" meaning don't spend there go and come back. I was so much happy and started the journey and after a few hours I arrived at ajunction he direct to where he came to pick me up, we boarded a motorcycle and reached home sooner than expected. what a welcome! his relative were there and they had prepared different dishes ,we enjoyed the meal and he introduced me to his people.he was an only child to his parents who were long gone and he lived by his grandmother and his uncle .The visit was so much enjoyable that no sooner had I prepared bto head back home than I realized it was late there no vehicle services at the moment so I spend a night but deep down I knew I was in trouble with my mother.
The following morning my mother called my phone and questioned my whereabouts in which I had to give excuses but she never gave in, as my mother was so angry that he said "adwari ot ka sani" meaning I want here in the house now!and I wondered how I was going to make it that quick in a distance of between 80 kilometers. I couldn't do anything but just to ensure her that I was just around . I hurriedly went to the bus stop and boarded a vehicle which was quick and I arrived home before dusk .My mother scolded me and I had to accept that I was the one on the wrong and she vowed never to give me an opportunity to visit a "friend" again
Upon hearing that , I shared with my boyfriend who was by then so afraid that strict measures would be taken against him
but I ensured him nothing of that sort could happen because I had lied to my mother that my "friend"was a girl. I had misused the golden opportunity given and now I had to be secretive. I used to
sneak whenever my mother wasn't around and I told my father that I was going to my elder sister's place which was not that far , because I knew my father won't know I was there or not because by then he didn't have a phone and travelled that distance again to and fro to pay him a visit and I would do this once a month . It became norm until he travelled to the capital city for work so we were just talking through phone.
As time went by I began to notice some changes in my body and I would wake up so late than usual until one day my mother summoned me to the kitchen and we had a long talk as she also had noticed my strange behavior and she directly told me that I was pregnant and without hesitation I just responded yes because I had missed my periods for two months. I could see the disappointment in my mother's eyes but I couldn't help myself either as tears rolled down my checks.
I quickly grabbed my phone( which was bought to me by my mother) and my dialled my boyfriend 's number to share with him the news but to my disappointment he never received until later that night I saw him active on f*******: and I decided to send him a message but he seemed unmoved ,he never even bothered to call and each day I would be the one to start every conversation ,days went by and my stomach started protruding and at this point I was sure I was pregnant.My parents asked me if he could come home and know each other and at this point my parents were disappointed ,angry
