Secrets are secrets until it is being told.
Let me take you down memory lane back then when I was in high school.
I used to have a lot of admirers back then In school, both from my mates and even my seniors because I am a very fine, fun-loving, and smart baby girl.
And so, I usually don't give a hoot about guys, though I love being around smart, intelligent, and cute guys who usually don't go beyond that.
One day, something funny happened and I still couldn't believe it.
There's this newbie who just came into my school, (name withheld).
From the very first day he came in, I had my eyes (hard girl in the mud, ho ho ho) on him, this dude was too cute, neat, tall, and intelligent.
To think he was in the department made the whole thing funny, cause I don't usually give a hoot.
However, I never gave a hint that I had a crush on him, the only thing I did was to prepare very well for the class so that I could answer questions in class, because he always proved that he knew it all.
One day in Biology class during our WAEC lesson, I remember being taught about nectar (in pollination) and so a question from that topic popped up, he stood up and answered, but this time incorrectly, I stood up right after him and gave the correct answer. I guess for the first time, he was humbled by a lady.๐๐
And from that day on, I swore I would keep humbling him, he started to notice me I guess, but hello I kept acting all tough like I didn't give a hoot, If only he knew...
He would secretly ask my mates about me whenever I wasn't in school, but whenever I was in school, he acted like he didn't care, this guy and I never said hello. Hehe, too naughty kids acting.
Well, I noticed how he stared at me in class and smiled sheepishly this continued until we wrote out final examinations (WAEC) and then we had our signing out.
The signing out was a great opportunity for him to spill, he summoned the courage to ask for my number which I gave him after several pleas.
Unfortunately, two days later I lost my phone and so I guess he tried all he could but couldn't reach me.
Years passed, we had now grown and so our set wanted a reunion, which those in charge made possible, the reunion was held in a very big event center and I was excited to see how I and my mates had all grown into big boys and girls and dayummm, this dude was present, he had grown to be way finer than he was in school.
Immediately, he saw me, he walked up to me.."Amie, you look amazing, what happened now, I tried to reach you after you gave me your number but I couldn't .. I felt bad that I was too shy to tell you how much I liked you, I had a crush on you".
He said.
In my hearts of heart, I knew the feeling was mutual but hey, I still acted up being a hard girl now๐น and even acted surprised.
Then the show began. It was game time. "Truth or dare" to be precise.
I chose truth, after unfolding the paper the question was " Who was your secret crush in school?".
Woooah!, I thought I could die with this secret, but now I had to spill, not just before the person, but before my whole classmate, it was crazy.
"......", I called his name, I could see the amazement on everyone's face and he just spilled, " Amie, I could swear with my life that you didn't give a hoot about me until now, are you kidding me?"
Then I smiled, "Secret are secrets until it is being told right?, that's a long time now though, I've outgrown it" I snapped back with the loveliest smile ever.
Everybody burst into laughter and were all surprised I had a crush on him.
Well, we had a good laugh, took pictures, and exchanged contact until we all parted.
