THE DIARY

ENTRY 9

Dear Diary,

Another week has passed.
A lot has happened.
Like wow!
What a week!

Classes were long and boring as usual.
But this week we were told to come together. It was to register our names with the course rep.

Our course rep. who I had never noticed was a girl about my height, light skinned with her afro hair and greyish eyes. Yes greyish!!
No wonder they choose her as the course rep.
God!!she's pretty.
She's not exactly slim because of her curves. And the clothes she wore fit her perfectly.
I checked her out as she addressed us...
I didnt hear shit.
But Favour told me everything.

She told us to write our names down and bring some necessary documents for the next time we meet again.
She also created a group chat and promised to add us all to it.

I didnt care about all that then.
I wanted to know her.
I wanted to know her name.
I wanted to be her friend.

But I dont think that would be possible. She already has her group of friends and I was too shy to approach her.
Even if I did what would I have said to her sigh.
My stupid heart!!

I later found out things about her, I had to ask around sigh.
Her name is Promise, she's 19 and an half caste.
That explained the colour of her eyes and her accent.
Apparently she had stayed in UK all her life but her parents decided to move to Nigeria after she finished college.
Like why!?
If I were the one I won't come back to this country but that's her sha.

We didnt see each other after that day.

.........

I was on the court as usual playing when i sighted someone come in, it was 'her'.
Promise...

She came into the court with leggings and a sport bra on.
Almost everyone's attention was on her.

Because I was distracted the ball hit my head and I screamed as I fell.

She saw me!!
She came to help me up, well everyone came to help me up.
But she took me aside while the other girls continued the game without me.
Jerks!!

We started talking right there...
I introduced myself and told her I was in her department and she relaxed a bit.
This was her first time here..
She is a baller too but she had been too shy to come.

God!! I just stared at her as she spoke.
Imagine...she's a basketballer also, she's indeed a full package.

We played a 1 on 1 game, she won.
Sue me, I was distracted.

Ever since then we have been playing together.
It had became a routine for us.

.......

Every time I return back to my hostel feeling tingles and butterflies in my tummy.

Its like my life revolved around girls.
Olamide is always in my room flirting and showing her cute dimples.
Claudia and I chat all night about the activities of the day.
And now I play basketball with the one and only Promise.

Who would have thought I'll be in this situation?

As if that wasn't enough for my fragile heart...
Promise is staying in the hostel next to mine.
I didnt even know.

I just found out today.

I saw her this morning leaving her hostel and entering a car.
Maybe her relative's/ friend's/ boyfriend's
I couldn't really tell from where I stood.

I was very surprised...
Like WTF!!
Is my life a telenovela now?

I just hope these crushes I have disappear quickly....
Sigh

Aside from my love life drama...well I won't exactly call it "love life".

The basketball coach said he wants me to join the school team...
But I have to be extremely dedicated to it.
I told him I'll get back to him.

I dont know if I should join.
Sigh...

This week has been full of surprises.
Anyhoo...

Later diary.
I hope I get things sorted out quickly.
