“What are we?” She asked.

 

“Friends or lovers?” She asked.

 

‘Friends or lovers’ I thought.

 

“I have to know now” she said.

 

“I don’t know, I don’t know” I said

 

“It is complicated” I said

 

“I see,” she said.

 

“I’ll get going now, see u at school on Monday” she said and left.

 

‘What exactly are we? Is she still my best friend or a gal I like’ I thought.

 

She is definitely my friend, I have a gf.

 

Definitely.

I just want to stop getting hurt, am really tired.

 

 

I want my heart to stop aching for a heart who care less.

 

I just want to be happy.

 

‘A guy who will do anything for me’ I thought crying.

I got home late, I know my mom has probably arrived.

 

“Am home” I shouted.

 

“Am in the kitchen” she shouts back.

 

I went to the kitchen and saw her cooking.

 

“How have u been?” She asked hugging me.

 

She disengage and continued with what she was doing “Am fine” I said smiling.Kindly share out some of our interesting stories from generalloaded.com using the floating social media icon button below.

 

She looks happy unlike every other day.

 

My mom and dad divorced when I was 10. My dad said he couldn’t cope with her anymore and went on and start a new life.

 

He own no place in my heart, he doesn’t deserve to be called a father.

 

“What is it? U look worried” she said.

 

“Nothing” I said and picked an apple on the table and washed it and took a bite.

 

“I might not be around all the time but dat doesn’t mean I don’t know when my son is sad” she said.

 

“Ok can I ask u a question?” I said.

 

“Yes” she said and stopped what she was doing.

 

“Is it possible for someone to like two person at a time, as in u like them equally?” I asked.

 

“No” she answered. There will always be someone u like more than the other.

 

“And dat person is real deal” she said.

 

“Sometimes we don’t know the value of what we have untill we lose them.” “There must be dis one person who u hold more dear than the other” she said. Then who is dat person, ife or esther?

 

“But wait why are we having dis conversation” she said looking at me suspiciously.

 

“I have to go shower” I said and ran to my room.

 

So who do I like more?

 

Ife or Esther?

Last week was the most horrible week for me.

 

I just hope dis week will be better.

 

“Am off to school,” I shout so my mom will know I left.

 

Papa has not been around since Saturday, he went to observe the area he’ll be going to work at.

 

Mom and him are still arguing about the issue of moving.

 

I arrived at school so early.

 

I went to my seat and sat down.

 

I Put my head on my locker.

 

“U are here” someone said.

 

I looked up and it was junior.

 

”What do u want?” I asked.

 

“First am not going to apologized about the kiss, I did nothing wrong” he said while I scoffed and stand up.

 

“Of course,” I said about to walk out on him.

 

But he pulled me back pinning me to the wall.

 

“What again?” I asked.

 

“I like u” he said as I looked at him amazed blinking my eyes repeatedly.

 

“I’ve liked u from the first day I saw u but u never gave me any attention, ur attention was fixed on vic” he said.

 

I can’t believe junior just confessed to me.

 

“Vic will never like u, u are just a friend to him” he said.

 

Well he is not really wrong.

 

“Can’t u just give me a chance, even if it is a week, pls I really like u” he said.

 

Junior is really confessing to me.

 

 

Me, the big mole.

 

What should I say?

 

He seems sincere, should I reject him.

 

I don’t like him but still I don’t want to hurt him.

 

What should I do?

I was on my way to submit my physic assignment to our physics teacher when I heard some voice from the abandoned class in our school.

 

It was like someone was moaning even though the person tried hard not to make a sound.

 

‘I can’t imagine someone with the guts to have sex here’ I thought smiling.

 

“It is non of my business,” I said and was about to move but stopped when I heard Esther voice.

 

Asking lekan to stop.

 

I suddenly entered and as expected lekan was banging my girlfriend.

 

“Oh my god” Esther said.

 

“Vic am sorry” she said.

 

“Don’t be, am also sorry” I said and left the class.

 

I can’t believe I choose her over ife, I was so stupid.

 

But why don’t I feel hurt.

 

 

Am sad and happy.

 

I remembered my mom’s word.

 

Maybe the person I likes wasn’t Esther but ife.

 

“Of course,” I said and ran to where Ife is.

 

She was alone in the lab taking care of the lab.

 

“Hey” she said surprised to see me.

 

“I have a confession to make” I said panting heavily.

 

“What?” She asked.

 

“First u were right, Esther was cheating on me I caught her today.”

 

“Second am sorry for last week.”

 

“Third I like u” I said expecting her to be happy but rather she looked sad.

 

“Can I ask u question?” She said

 

“Yes” I said.

 

“U came here after u saw Esther with lekan?” She asked.

 

“Yes” I answered.

 

“So if u hadn’t caught her u won’t be here?” she asked “Yes” I said disappointed in myself.

 

“Dat means I wasn’t ever going to be ur first choice but ur second choice” she said and a tear rolled down her face.

 

 

“Ife” I called went to touch her but she smacked my hand away.

 

“What to do? Am sorry Vic but u are too late.”

 

“U came at the wrong time” she said and left the lab leaving me alone where I stand.

 

Mom was right.

 

We don’t know the value of the things we have till we lose them.

 

I just lost something special to me and it hurts a lot.

 

I wish I had told her right from the start dat I liked her but instead I let her walk away.

 

I lost her.

 

It is too late.

 

It hurts a lot, like my heart was being pierced into piece.
