Days had passed, and Esse wouldn't still talk to me. She wouldn't pick my calls, or reply my messages. Collins told me his brother, Rukky wouldn't stop taking about her. He thinks there's something going on between them, I hope not.
I groaned frustratedly as I picked my phone to try again. I've fallen for her. I don't know how it happened, but I know it did happen. She was all a joke at first, but now I can't get her out of my head. It's like she's stuck there. She won't budge.
The phone rang severally, but she still wasn't picking. I tried ten times, but she still didn't pick.
I knew, I knew I shouldn't have joined that cult. But, Jerry forced me. He told me the advantages only, exempting the disadvantages. I never knew a day like this was going to come, that I'd fall for someone. I had a rock hard heart, but Esse softened it. I can't still imagine it. How did it happen? I mean, she didn't even sleep with me or something. I don't even care about the fun or whatever, all I care about is her. I'm lost. I want to get her back, but Esse's heart is harder than a rock. Her friends hate me, so...I don't know how I'd get to her, or convince her.
I groaned and walked to my bed, from my study table. I'd never forgive Jerry for this mess he has put me in. But wait! He didn't make the decision for me nah, I made it myself. I hate myself, more than anything else.
I think I'm crazy, I'm Esse crazy. And the most painful part is that she doesn't even see it. She doesn't care. How I wish I'm still innocent Joseph. I was so lost and innocent then, I miss the old me. Yes, I got girls hanging on my neck right from the time I stepped into this school, but I was still a nerd who knew nothing. But Jerry corrupted my clean mind. He promised me alot of things, but only few were fulfilled. Now, here I am, broken and lost.
My phone buzzed, making my head snap to its direction. I quickly picked it, and to my surprise it was a message from Ebun. I was slightly glad she messaged, and not because it wasn't Esse.
Ebun
I don't know why I'm doing this, but I have a heart that too soft. This doesn't mean I like you or anything, I still dislike you. But, you and Esse were nice together, so lemme slip this to you. We're having a party tomorrow at Esse's place, her parents aren't around. Ethan actually organized it, but Esse gets to invite her friends. I didn't tell her I'm doing this oh, but I am. Be there. 💁
I was so filled with joy after reading it. She did use 'hate' she used 'dislike'. I smiled to myself. Green card.
I quickly replied, thanking her and telling her I'd be there. I sure would, I want my girl back. I hope she feels the same.
