Walking Mabel home on that fateful day suddenly seemed like we were the only one on that busy walkway.
We were actually shut off from the world. We were so in to our conversation that when some friends later saw me the next day, they accused be of ignoring them the previous day because of the "babe" beside me.

In less than 20 minutes our convo was so deep that if you asked me about her, you'll think I was her "Bestie". You see, I am an extroverted Sanguine with a blend of other temperaments, so holding a conversation or getting the best out of it was my comfort zone. And since I'm honest to a fault, it prompted a smooth talk as she reciprocated same. From her background to her present status, all were laid bare before me.
We became fond of each other and regularly waited for each other after school. We enjoyed our discussions and in fact, when dressing up in the morning, I think about how I can always amaze her and keep her captivated with my look. I got a nice cologne, my uniform was neat and well pressed that the edges will almost pierce you if you come in close contact. The glow on her face was always there. I don't know if I was responsible for that, but all I can say is that she looked more radiant everyday.
Whenever we see, we would walked slowly so we had more time since I could not afford to take her to a restaurant and it will be demeaning to take such a girl to "mama put" for such sensitive convo. We walked like snails and had to spend double time to get home.
But there was something I didn't understand. It happens whenever we want to depart after our long talk. The goodbye seemed come out reluctantly from her end her eyes looked like they were close to tears. even her lips seemed like she wanted to utter some words. It continued for about three weeks and I couldn't crack it. Remember, I was naive and could not afford to think of what's on your mind right now.
Should I ask her what those gestures meant? The suspense is killing me. What should I do?
Stay tuned for part 3
These are experiences from my world.
cheers!!!
