Losing Myself In You

1: Sleeping in

I'm a simple girl, the regular kind you see everywhere. My last boyfriend's name is Joshua. I loved him and he loved me too, or so I thought.

*sigh* Okay I was naive and foolish. I trusted him with my love and he left me heartbroken.

I had made a vow to Ameenah that I would be selfish with my heart and that I wouldn't give anyone the chance to break it again.

Ameenah is my best friend. I've known her since I was 6. She understands me more than anyone else.

She has a boyfriend, Usman, and they're so much into each other. I'm glad she isn't as unlucky as I am and I wish her well.

I'm from a family of four: my father, mother, sister and myself. I'm the first child of my family. My father is the usual strict man but my mother is as as loving as they come. My younger sister Tola is a very lively girl, full of life and all.

She's 7 and a funny company. She's simply great.

Well tomorrow is school day, first day of my 2nd year in the University and I have to brace myself until the rumors die down. The rumors about Joshua dumping me for Sophia.

I don't know which hurts more, Joshua dumping me or the things the gossips say about me.

I was never one for popularity, but when you have it forced on you, what can you do.

I checked the time, it was 10pm already. I had to sleep in readiness for tomorrow, I close my eyes and let sleep take me.

-----------------------------------------------------------
I woke up with a wide yawn. I checked the time. "Oh no! Not again!". But why didn't the alarm ring? I checked my phone and yeah! I slept through the ringing of the alarm. Heavy sleeper, I sure am. I rushed into the bathroom in record time.

I took my bath and put on my jeans and a top. I wore my jacket almost immediately.

I remembered him and felt the tears springing to the surface. "No, you're over him". I said sternly to myself.

Joshua had chosen to come to my mind this morning. He was never one for good timing, was he? I thought to myself. Hmm!

Looking at the mirror, I saw my reflection. I wouldn't say I'm beautiful or hot because if I was Josh wouldn't have left me for Sophia. Sassy Sophia, at least that's what Ameenah calls her.

She's one of those girls who seriously need to learn some manners, and learn it fast. But she's Hot!

One with a capital H!

I left my hostel after greeting my neighbors. I live in a hostel not too far from campus since my family house is far from it. I won't bore you with the details.

I took the bus and as I was about to alight, I heard a tear-like sound.

Oh no! I whipped my head back to see what it was and then I saw it.

My favorite jacket got caught in goddamn iron at the door and to make matters worse, it got torn, badly.

I cursed my fate and got down. I angrily pulled off the jacket and walked to class.

I got some hi's and hello's as I walk along my class corridor. I greeted back and as I was about to enter my class, I heard a voice.

The voice that would make my 2nd year more than anything I had imagined.
