INFIDELITY

EPISODE 1

Anita was that young vibrant girl with eyes luring every trouser to her path. The way she talked was swift as the seductive breeze that roams the evening thunder and her smiles would crucify your resistance. I have always crushed on her in secret with no guts to express my dying desire all day long.

Her beauty was inbuilt, incomparable with artificial beauties. No make ups. Just pretty as our Indian goddesses in Bollywood movies. At age 13, she became a child celebrity with guys and girls flocking at her charm. Gentle voice, white little teeth, a light dimple at her left chin and a flashy lifestyle with trending cloths. Teachers took her as their idol and all the bad boys wanted to raise their class by being with her.

There were rumors about her sleeping with dudes at her tender age especially at birthday parties. However, those rumors didn't mean a thing to her, because she cared less. She had this familiarity with everyone so people felt equal around her. 

Born and bred from a wealthy home, so you expect her lifestyle to reflect in her actions. She was an average student in class and never worried if she had bad grades. I remember the last time a bully shoved her, the whole class got mad at him that he felt cringed and reverted.

We were all in JSS 3 and we cherished her company. All departments wanted her to participate in their activities because she spent a lot for her friends and often fed the church rats of the class. She doesn't insults people. That's one thing I loved about her.

Legend has it that she lied to her parents to give her some money for something she needed, but she later used it to support a student on his school fees. She helped both genders and had time for everyone.

Anita was the name that vibrated virtually on everyone's lips in the neighborhood and at schools. Little did we know that we were her bodyguards and disciples, even when we did, we felt it wasn't foolishness.

Heaven shed bitter tears on the day of our SSS 3 graduation ceremony; it was so painful and sad to see that angel depart from us. She hugged everyone she could reach. When it was my turn, the hug felt so divine. I didn't wish that moment would die. Men! We all will miss her. Everyone got her phone contact and to worsen it all, she would be traveling overseas for her studies. It was so painful as her absence was heavily felt.
