#StoryTuesday: Adeleke Love Story (Episode One)

 

Today we begin a new story. This story is intriguing and mind blowing. Please read episode one below 


He didn't have the attitude that was expected of an average 10 years old boy just entering into J.S.S. 1, growing up in the most developed ghetto in Lagos, Adeleke was part of the most loved kids in his block, that kid way those bros they call my boy but he never for once allowed it get into his head. A very shy kid that his first real understanding of emotions was an heartbreak (at least so he thought at the moment) incident which occurred when he was seven, he boldly asked a girl out only for her to turn him down saying he was a small boy because he had a very small physique and from that moment onward his how to approach girl instinct went dead.

After his first term in a boarding school Adeleke fell in love but was never able to express his feeling, instead he found a way to always talk to her by accepting her as his school mother. So every time he speaks with her, telling her what a school son should be telling his school mother, all he ever wished was to tell her exactly how he feels about her but the ghost of the incident that occurred 3 years ago won’t let him be.

He later found an indirect way to make his feelings known but by then the J.S. 3 school mother was now one of the most sought after S.S.3 girl in the school putting him who was now in S.S.1 at disadvantage. 5 out of the 6 years he spent in secondary school he thought his school mother was his first love until he had an emotional wakeup call in S.S.3 when his then girlfriend broke up with him. It was at this point he vowed not to fall in love again because he felt love wasn't just meant for him.

During his J.S.S days whenever he comes back to Festac for holidays, he attends this holiday lesson and that was where he met his first love.  There were these two beautiful girls he met during the lesson, one staying close to his block and the other a bit far but a trek able distance from his house. He gave much of his time and attention to the one staying close to his block while most times he tries to ignore the other girl.

Princess thought because he was shy he wouldn’t be able to ask her out so she stylishly asked him out instead, a move that put Adeleke in shock mode. It was this shock mode that made him ignore her because he didn’t know what to say to her. Adeleke later moved away from Festac and he lost contact with Princess and he didn't even bother to keep tabs on her like he did with the girl not far from his block even though he thought of Princess everyday (something he wouldn’t admit to).

Three years after he had moved away from Festac he decided to go pay his best friend a visit and that was when he came across her in front of a church and immediately he said hello he knew she was his first love.

Princess was very surprise to have seen him, I mean she didn't expect she was going to see him again given the grounds they left things the last time they saw each other. Adeleke didn't waste any time expressing his love to her because during those three years of being single he had thought about his love life and had come to realise that Princess was actually his first true love and he would give anything to date her. Princess was in a cross road after Adeleke had said all he had to say, she was currently in a relationship though truly she had never stop loving Adeleke but her present boyfriend was also the love of her life.
