It took a while before I let myself crush on another boy;This time around we met at a group lesson for SS3 students preparing for the dreaded WASCE/JAMB examinations.

I remember he made my heart flutter and do that silly "butterfly thingy".

How we started talking was crazy because I never thought he liked me. We would sit together and study or do past questions. I was thrilled when he first said the words "I love you". Apart from my mom no one ever said those words to me.

I was excited and all the other girls were jealous of us. He wore our love proudly and I remember the day he was escorting me home and he bought me two cheap earrings from a store and I wore them from then on like it was freaking gold.
