Kelly's pov
"Erm Kelly, I was wondering..."
I turned as he called me. Oh, was he going to ask me out. So early? or maybe he wanted something, either ways i could feel the butterflies in my tummy as he walked closer to me.

"I was wondering, if.....I could...." he got closer again.

"Get..Ella's number from you."...~

~I got home that day so annoyed. Imagine juwon using me to get to Ella. What???

"Good evening mummy" I greeted my mom, who paid no attention to me as all her focus was on the she was beans she was picking.

I got to my room, quickly taking off my uniform and putting on my "house girl" cloth, I call them house girl clothes because I would be caught dead wearing them outside.

At this point all I wanted to do was just talk to someone who would understand how I felt. Gosh, Am I so ugly?

I stared into my mirror at the girl with slender figure, bright caramel skin, and short natural hair.
No, I wasn't ugly. But then the only guy I had ever really liked didn't even know I existed. I had a big crush on Jimmy since we were in primary school. We were good friends then, we usually played husband and wife in all our childish drama. Thinking about it now, it was actually cute. And Jimmy would always come play with me even though he was one class my seniour. There was even this one occasion he took three strokes of cane for me when I arrived late to school, my own Superman lol. But ever since we got into secondary school it was like he never knew me, girls were always around him and everytime i try to talk to him I get very shy and to make matters worse, now he's dating my best friend.

I got on my bed, drowning my head into my pillow. I took out my phone for a while to chat, few minutes into WhatsApp I got a text from Reginald

Reginald: Hi babe

See this one Sha I thought to myself, while replying back

Kelly: Hi Reginald
Kelly: Babe?

Reginald was a guy who chatted me up some days earlier asking to be my friend. Usually I block people like that sharp sharp, but for some reasons I just left him. And he turned out to actually be a cool person but two things bugged me. One was that he was sort of a bad boy and secondly and most importantly he was way older than me, like 12 years difference but he never allowed me address him as sir or anything elderly. Most times I just avoid his chats, but for this moment he was the distraction i needed.

Reginald: Just kidding jare so wyd?
Kelly: Just lying down, i had a bad day
Reginald: Omg what happened my love

Was i about to tell him about the whole falling hand episode with juwon...nahh

Kelly: well, my best friend is dating a guy that she knows I like so...

Reginald: Wow that's actually uncool

Kelly: Yh

Reginald: Pele, so what did you do?

Kelly: Nothing

Reginald: clear her now, its not even making any sense. And she claims to be your friend

Hmm he has a point tho.

Reginald: If she can do something like this to you I don't know if she can be called your friend tho

Reginald: Just saying.

Kelly: alright thanks

Reginald: Which guy sef will not want to date you, hot cake like you

Kelly: Lol

Reginald: Anyways pls get your mind off that

Reginald: You know it's you i love

Kelly: Hmm ok....sir

Reginald: Don't start this sir thing jare

Kelly: alright

Kelly: So what about you wyd?

Reginald: Nothing much, just thinking about you

Kelly: Hmm okay sir

Reginald: You have started again

Kelly: Lol

"Kelly!!!"my mum beckoned on me. I heard Naomi and Ella's voices downstairs

Kelly: I'll chat you up later my friends are here

Reginald: Is that you friend there too

Kelly: Yes

Reginald: Dont forget what we talked about

Kelly: Alright

Reginald: I'll send you some of my pictures to remind you of me wen you sleep tonight.

And without my consent he sent three pictures of himself.
The pictures were quite revealing. He was only wearing shorts, it was obvious he had just finished working out with the way his muscles ripped out of his body and his six packs gleared from his middle region.

I didn't even reply, I just pinned his chat so I won't forget to delete the pictures later on. And so that was how I went downstairs, had a fight with Ella, forgot about the whole picture thing and when my mom picked up my phone, guess who's chat was number one? yes it was his pinned chat and guess what was the last thing that was sent? yup, his hot pictures which in my mum's case "nude" pictures. so now how was i to explain to my mom why a 27 year old guy was sending me "nude" pictures.
