RESPONDING TO HER LOVE

INTENTED SHAMING BY EX

"Nothing is truly yours until you're genuinely convinced in your heart; then you've the right to claim".

Ken POV

"Arise and Shine, for your light has come...,"
I was reading the pamphlet in my textbook, arranging my locker, to get ready for the day. I sat on the down bunk, deep in thought. Yesterday's chat with Queen is still running afresh in my head; like a train in full speed. I've been cracking my brain to come up with a concrete reason, why she started to show interest in me after all this time. Did she broke up with her boyfriend because of me or am I her rebound?
No matter how enticing the offer sound, I can't comprehend one bit, the reason for this absurd friend request.
I've learned a little about the world of women. I thought by now, with all the romantic movies I've watched, I will be well equipped knowledge wise to face this feeling, but that's a lie. I just stepped close to an oven with little stick, to stir my bread. The aroma is so pleasant, but my face and fingers are without protection.
"Kendo, my gee, watsup!," I don't know this guy calling my name like this. My head is full already, this guy with much air, coming out from his nostrils is irritating me. He's now bending more closer to my face, trying to peep...,
"How far, are you going for breakfast, can you give me your plate and cutleries?"
I frowned at him, I hate people with body odour. He's a student for that, he should have shaving pic or perfume, just to...
"Guy, get off me. Why are you leaning on me like this, breathing down my neck? What do you want?"
"I wanted to see what you're reading. Give me your plate of food, since you're not going for breakfast".
"I don't have, I gave mine to someone". I said to him coldly, standing up. He should get the gist, but this fool will keep pestering me.
"Check your locker now, I saw that junior boy return flat plate to you earlier, please, I will return it".
"Fine," I opened my locker angrily and searched the down one and gave him the plate, "let me not ask you of it".
"Thanks. Should I ask Chris to send food for you?"
"What? No". I don't understand some species of student we have in this school. I don't want to get angry with anybody to spoil my mood this morning. Out of all the junior students here, he didn't see any to collect plate from. Food monger.

"God help me today, let ur mercy and wisdom direct my path today, in every decision, Lord, be my guide. Amen".

"Hah!" I exclaimed, flexing my shoulder. Good things are coming my way today. I'm looking forward to find out what's your mission Queen. I will be ready for your game. If you wish to string me along and dump me halfway, it won't work for you. I can't allow myself to be an easy target. Let me give you benefit of doubt and see how it goes.

On the bright side though, the little moment that made my heart beat again. I will allow myself to have some fun, as a student, to feel those emotions and experience the attention of a fine lady.

I've matured in my thinking and by observation, this is not teenager's hormones on fire or romantic getaway. I can't call it, love of the popular girl affecting the nerd, no, because I sure don't know books more than her. My last class performance aside, am not an ordinary average student, seeking love.

"She's not doing me favours."

When you're suddenly pushed into the limelight, be prepared to hold your breath, stand the criticism and sacrifice anything privacy.

They've sounded the bell for morning assembly at the auditorium. I was looking around if I can get a glimpse of Chris, maybe to know watsup with his friend, Michael. If I'm correct, its Queen that dumped him and I know he will still be sulking. If I were the girl, she should watch her back, he will definitely try to have the last laugh. Small brain Michael. "Hmph" I chuckled to myself. I like the way my thought is running ahead of me. Something is in the air, I can feel it. But if its a good thing or bad, I don't know yet.
