The untold love story

The Letter.

On my bed with the piece of paper in hand, wondering what exactly she could have written on the paper. Flipping a side of the paper, displayed shining inks, showing clearly designs that sort of turn out to be margins. The designs were in red ink and do you know what red stands for? To me, red represents rose and stands clearly for love. With such thoughts, I clearly wasn't ready to read what was encrypted on that paper. I need to rest, got evening class, I said to myself, as I pushed the paper underneath my pillow.

Back in the class, evening class in session. For many many mixed schools like mine, evening classes aren't held as a class thing. The boys are kept in separate class and same applies to the girls. However, my school, St. Peter's Mount, doesn't go by such rules, we are combined and monitored by one tutor, who is replaced weekly. If the class is lucky, it gets the best and awesome tutors to monitor but weeks when the luck dies off, the vigorous and straight faced ones get pushed to the class.

Here I am, sitting all alone, learning all alone. Looking across the class got my attention on my sitting paddy, Enoch, who was busily sitting beside Tina and busily working on a sheet of paper, I had no idea what's going on. The two seemed so close already, but the last time I remembered, the two were no where close to hello hi vibes, how much more talk of sitting together in class. I quickly looked out for Solace, and realized she was sitting all alone as well. What's this new move am seeing this evening, all thoughts to myself.

Without wasting much time, I begun to look out for ways and means to draw the attention of my sitting paddy, I asked the guy close to me in the next lane to call on the next and then the next, but that was going to take time, since no one wants to be caught talking. There are six columns in the class and five rows, am on the first column, third row. And as at this time, Enoch was sitting with Tina on the fifth column, fourth row. Whereas Solace was on the fifth column first row, of course, she is a shark, sharks don't sit at the back.

All my trials to reach Enoch ended in vain, I couldn't get to him. I instantly call on plan B. This was it, am going to throw my pen top at him, and once it hits him, I get up and walk towards the tutor, seek permission to visit the urinal. It was a perfect plan but as to wether Enoch was going to get the idea, to follow me, was hanging in the air. But, I can't tell, without trying, so I did and walked out of the class.

Fifteen plus minutes in the wash room and Enoch, nowhere to be found. I quickly walked out of the room. Surprisingly, there came Solace, also coming from the ladies. "Should I ask her wants going on with Tina and Enoch?", I thought of it and just remain silent. She caught up with me and asked, "did you receive my letter?", "yeah I did", I replied. That didn't end there, she added "are you sure you did?", "yeah I did", I responded again. She quickly walked and off to the class, I couldn't even ask her why or anything. Ahh!!! Wait ooo, doesn't it mean everything going on in the class, got something to do with the letter?, I wondered, as I returned to my sit.

Evening class, finally over, I dash out to my dormitory, picked the letter from my pillow and it read "Hello! Ste, I will love to have you sit with me during evening class session. Your sitting paddy, Enoch has agreed to link up with Tina at the back. Hope to hear from you soon, we will have a great time together as I have a lot of questions for us to work out... your friend, Solace".

"Like for real, did I just messed up like that?", I asked myself, sitting on my bed. I jumped off my bed and headed for the washroom, I can't believe I just messed up, needed some time for my self.
I returned to my dormitory and found Enoch in his bed, also holding a piece of paper of similarity to mine. Without saying a word, I climb up into my bed.

The morning came earlier than expected. I woke up and realized Enoch was still sleeping. I gave him a tap on the shoulder and reminded him that we have a class session this morning with our science tutor before assembly. He opened his heavy red eyes and all he said was, "what happened to you yesterday?" I was dumbfounded and starring at him aimlessly, I asked, "what are you talking about?". He repeated his statement, this time, sitting boldly on his bed and looking straight into my eye. I still couldn't get what he was talking about.

He finally asked the question, "did you read the letter Solace wrote you through Tina?", I responded "yes, but it was after the evening class session".
He then went back to his earlier question, which got us into a moment of silence earlier. I still couldn't find an answer for him but I replied with another question... "what's going on, between you and Tina too?", surprisingly, he boldly answered, "nothing I can think off".

We both got up and headed towards the washroom. I then said to him, "look bro, I don't know what's up with Solace and I, all I can say is, there is something building up between us and I really want it to hold". He smiled at me and replied, "I've got your back bro, we will work it out, trust me". With this words from my paddy, I was strong and ready to face every challenge. I knew very well that having a relationship with Solace, won't be easy. Judging from her beauty to her intelligence and her parental guidance. But I was still triggered to give a try in all possible ways and having my paddy got my back, was the perfect shot I needed.

Done with bathing and was on our way to class when Tina came running after us. She shot a heavy and thick smile at Enoch, upon catching up with us. I knew instantly that something might be going on among this two. She handed both of us sheets of paper and off she went again, back in the same direction she came from. I questioned Enoch on the content of his letter and he said "its same as yesterday's". I quickly unfolded mine and realized, mine wasn't the same as yesterday's.
