Chapter 13
I don't know how boys feel whenever a girl mentions that "she has a boyfriend."
I just know that the not so serious boys will leave, some will wait a little, some don't actually care, and some will press on until you get married while some will Walk away but still fall in love with you anytime they see you.

There is is this guy I met in school in second year,first semester.
His name is Daniel.

Daniel is the type to press on and on even after I insulted and told him off.
With all that's going on in my life,I'm Soo ready to insult anyone out cause right now,I am too angry to be happy.
The guy is so annoying and at some point,I found it hilarious and amusing in some sort of way, seeing his persistence gave me some form of comfort.
I don't know how,I can't explain it either.

"What are you doing here?"
I asked as I pushed him outside the gate.
"I came to see you".
He replied calmly with hands in his pocket.

The way I was looking at that guy, someone would think that I wanted to kill him.
Truly,I felt like squizing him to death.

"You came to see me? guy are you mad or something?
You came to see me!
Mcchhhheeeeww
I hissed.
This matter is beyond hissing, clearly the young man needs a brain resetting slap.

After mentioning to him not to come to my house,he had the Liver to find my house and knock at the gate.
What if my father was the one who answered the door?
The boy would say he came to see me?
To prove what exactly? That he is a man, he's brave, or to prove how much he loves me?
What exactly?is there to prove?
I would not be impressed even if he decides to turn into captain America,jack Sparrow, Raymond Redington ,or even super man.

"You need to leave"
Was all I could say.
My face showed it all.
I was not happy to see him.
 
"Babe are you sending me away?"
He asked softly.

Clearly,I was sending him away…is he even asking?

"I just came to tell you that I miss you and to see your face.its been long since I set my eyes on you.Now that I've seen you, I'll take my leave.I know that you don't want me to come but I just had to cause I couldn't hold it in anymore I'm sorry.
I can't stop myself from doing the things you said I should not do because I can't.
You can slap me if you want and if it makes you happy."

I started laughing until he joined me.
"What's funny?"
He asked.

"Daniel you are mad!"
"This your head is not correct at all I'm telling you.
I hail thee God of love,see I don't know how this thing is doing you oo all I know is that I don't want you to get me into trouble."

For a while,I felt relieved because I actually truly laughed.
I have watched love struck guys Indian, Filipino/Korean movies and as at then,I thought ii is romantic.
Right now,it felt amazing but funny.
I don't understand guys and their feelings seriously.
It's like they are confused at some point they just begin to behave like they are possessed.

I looked at him for a while,I began to feel sorry for him but mostly, sorry for myself.
I can't do this.
I have an amazing boyfriend of whom I can't reveal to my family not to talk of the number of guys asking me out now these?no no no not me.
I don't have the strength.

"Dan you should get going."
I said to him.
"Okay but can I at least get a hug?"

The kind of stare I gave him made his legs to move towards the road to wherever he was going.

"It was nice seeing you again Alysher"

He shouted before disappearing into whatever space.

I walked back into the house.

Before I forget,let me tell you a story of how we met.

One day,I was outside a lecture theater, after coming out of a terrible physics test when someone called my name.

"Hi"
He greeted.
"Hi"
I politely replied without saying anything again for a while.

"My name is Raphael"
He said while extending his hands for a shake.
"I'm guessing you know my name already Raphael so I don't need to introduce myself again."
I said to him while shaking his hands.

Some guys will just have soft hands just like that.
I'm a girl whose supposed to have soft palms but no I don't know what the texture feels of my own hands feel like.
I feel ashamed sometimes.
I didn't say those out loud anyways.

"Yeah your name is Alysher.
I've known you for a while now and I must say that you are unique."

He replied.

"Oh my I'm flattered by you.Ive also known you for a long time now and I
must say, you are the flattering type."
I said to Raphael.

He laughed at the silly joke,looked at me before saying…
"Good by Alysher, it was nice speaking to you,see you next time."

He just left.
I didn't care seriously.
I wasn't ready to make new friends.

Fast forward to the next time we met.

"Alysher how are you and how is studies?"

That was Raphael.

"I'm fine and you?"
I asked.

"Fine too"
He answered.

"That's good".

I looked over his shoulder after I noticed that he was no alone.

"Oh I'm so sorry my bad. Please, meet my friends Daniel and Abel."

"Hello guys it's nice to meet you but I'm so sorry I have to go now see you next time"

I said as I hurriedly waved goodbye to them.

While we were home for mid semester
break,on a cold evening,an unknown number called me.

I answered the phone only to realize that the person I was speaking to,was one of Raphael's friend who's name is Daniel, saved my number after Raphael used Daniel's phone to call me one time like that because Raphael's phone got spoilt not knowing that his friend Daniel had saved the number to his phone for his own selfish self.

I forgot to mention that Raphael asked me out while in school which I'm very sure that Daniel knows about.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Anyways, after that had a one on one with Daniel and that's when he confessed his feelings to me.
Right there and then,it was a double no for me.
I don't understand why two friends are asking the same girl out.
It's either a trap,a bet or one of them is a snitch which apparently,we all know the snitch.

To cut the story short, Daniel and Raphael had a very very big fight which led to a break up between the two friends.
I sort of became a celebrity at some point cause guys in school were looking forward to meeting the girl who caused the big fight.

I was not excited by any of this at all instead I hated the two boys with immediate effect though they both tried to get to me each by telling me their part of the story and why.

Ironically, Raphael was so mad that he kept distance, then Daniel hung on till we became just friends.

Seriously,it's not their fault.
I blame myself for what exactly?
I don't know.

Now, that's the story of how I met Daniel who till this day,is not ready to give up.
