"Sorry,I'm really sorry, sorry." I said looking into his eyes.
"That's no problem, can you now leave the way ,I have a lot of things to do."
Who would he be,how come I haven't seen him in this school ,well I'm a new student I'll discover more people. After classes I went straight to Priscilla's desk and gave her the full gist.
   "Oh Johnson ,the set's fuck boy,he has dated almost every girl you would see in school,he is cool though, are you tripping? "
   "No,how can ,I am just asking."
   "Please, don't date him ,I can see love in your eyes,he just wants to have sex with you and leave ,Mr. Hit and Run."
   "No problem,let me go and buy snacks."
" I am really tripping for Johnson ,I must make him notice me." I said walking down the stairs .
  The perfect coincidence occurred and I bumped into Johnson, he smiled at me and said:
  "You again,it's like you don't see.
,I'm Johnson and you are?"
   " Sorry, I am Adanne,I'm new here."
   "You have said enough of the sorry, nice name ,you're new here ,maybe that's why you're behaving so awkward ,do you mind going to the store with me?"
   Before I could mutter a single letter ,we had already started the walk,when we reached the shop ,he bought all I needed,
  "I think it's late ,I'll be going I have champions league to watch." He said .
  "No problem ,I would have gone with you but Priscilla is still up stairs ."
   "That's fine,here is my number - 09073628452 ,give me a call this night ,bye we will see tomorrow."
 
I ran up so excited ,everything had fallen into place,
   "Prissy ,you wouldn't believe what just happened."
   "What happened?the shop woman gave you everything for free?"
   "No! It's about Johnson."
  "He kissed you? He has deceived you with his sweet tongue?"
   "You're just a goat , he doesn't look like what you describe him as,he gave me his number."
    "Just that? The beginning, please bring what you bought."
I called him that night ,I rushed all my chores and quickly made the call ,we spoke for over two hours on the phone, the main part of the phone call was when I asked him an important question.
  "Why do people call you a player?"
   "Here we go again, that same question, people ask me that question ,well it's your choice to think what you want ,I'm tired of explaining this thing to everyone,goodnight." He said as he hung up before I could talk.
    My bond with Johnson got stronger as the days went by,he made me laugh every single time,he bought gifts for Priscilla and I ,he called me every single night,this was going to be the perfect relationship ,I prayed.
   One Friday during sports hours ,he came to me looking so worried ,
   "Ada,I have something to ask you?"
   "What's that?" With the look on my face suggesting I had no idea of what I wanted him to ask.
   "Will you....."
