"I don't know."
That's what she said when I asked the age old question ''why?''
Did it hurt ,hell yeah it did but I was the one who had prompted this conversation so was I expecting it ....
Yeah kind of.
That's how it ended, my first love, everyone has one ,the one they think they'll hold and cherish forever most people don't but it's always fun while it lasts.
No one cheated,there was no big fight not even a little one just a gradual growing apart till we were hanging on by threads ,we still talked everyday but everyday it was less and less about US and more about some random thing one of her friends brought up or what teacher had done something dumb in class.
So when I pulled her aside one day to ask why we weren't working I was bracing for the worst .It's like a loose tooth best to just pull it out and say bye .
We both agreed it was better for us to just remain friends like it was at the start.
I lied earlier it didn't kind of hurt.... It really hurt.Yeah I was expecting it, but it's like being at a buffet you never really know what you have till it's gone.
I had been with Tolu in some way or another since she first told me she liked me back at the end of Js2. It wasn't technically the end of Js2 but due to COVID school was going on a break, we were all to go home .I had figured it was now or never to tell her, so I confessed to her right there on the corridor and the rest was Disneyworld history
