Is this love?

Chapter III-"A Walk in the Park"

After the classes end,I was left with a single thought and it was question with it I ask myself who in the big wide world am I going to ask to go out on Valentines,It was frustrating being single,I got really depressed because my friends have a date,I know I was desperate but being desperate means one thing I'm thirsty,thirsty for love from someone but I wouldn't know how to quench my thirst.

One thing I did is to try and clear my mind was wander in a park near our school,but I failed in my task to clear my thought of Valentines,going to a park is the worst thing to do to clear my mind of such thoughts for I saw couples holding hands,chatting and giggling along the park I was kinda jealous and uncomfortable because of the things I saw,it maybe weird to other park goers that I'm wandering in the park all alone,until I sat down beside a lone girl.

At first it was awkward sitting next to a complete stranger,I glanced at her a few times and the same goes for her I couldn't resist but to strike a conversation with her and asked her name and she gladly replied,Vanessa was her name we had a small chat on where do we study,what do we do on freetime and such it was nice talking and socializing with someone new.

Our chat wouldn't be more great until I asked her why is she alone at the park,"I was kinda lonely because my boyfriend and I broke up today."I was surprised of what she said,She also asked me the same question I threw at her I replied,"I wanted to clear my mind on something thats all."and she asked with persistence,"what is it then?,what is it you wanted to clear of your mind?"and I was silent for a second or two and I replied,"Valentines."and I didn't expect that she would laugh hysterically and she said this exact words"Why are you thinking of such things?are you single?are you wanting for someone to go out with?"I looked down and said silently,"actually yes I don't have someone to go out with and I'm upset about it."She also looked down and said,"Sean,It maybe faith that we found each other here I don't even know you yet I'm sorry if laughed I never thought that  you are upset and lonely."I looked at her straight in the eyes and told her,"I was not offended,yes Ii agree that it must be faith that we found each other in this park and never thought neither that you would be lonely as well." and then her eyes and mine too sparked as if we are in sync,I also added,"Vanessa I have to tell you this before we part ways." she replied spontaneously "what is it?" I replied her with eagerness,"Is it ok if you and I can go out on valentines?since both of us are kinda lonely I think it would be fun!"and Vanessa replied with a grin on her face and saying"Yes!Of course!"and our chat went on and on it became more interesting as time flies by.

The both of us needed to part ways and the interesting chatter must end but,we exchanged contacts and texted each other on the way home and as I walk home my face from blue to blissful expression changed all of a sudden,It was noticeable everyone around knew that my mood went up and my ego was raised to the roof when I got home my mom asked me,"What happened dear? you seem to be happy all of a sudden?" I giggled like a girl and told her"mom!I have a date on Valentines!ain't that awesome?" mom laughed at what he heard and told me"Son you are clearly growing up!good luck! and please introduce the lucky girl to me!".

Since this day I asked myself this question,have I found love?is this blissful feeling what they call love? I don't know but I want to learn more I told myself that if this love is related to being happy,such things was childish back then I was too eager to find love at that age but for me it was a matter of having dates with girls on Valentines,maybe back then I thought I have found my love.
