We found love in an awkward place

Part 1: MIXED FEELINGS

Today's article is about me, what happened in my personal life that I've been keeping to myself and a few others. I wanted to write it based on fictional characters, but on a second thought, I decided to tell the story the actual way it happened.

Before I begin, I once again thank my bro @Jaysea1447 for introducing me into this great platform that has given me the freedom to express myself easily through words rather than actions which would have been somewhat, awkward.

HIGH SCHOOL

Back in high school, I and Ebi used to be good friends, we were so connected because we had many similarities (My native name is also Ebi) and we're both from the South South geopolitical region of Nigeria. We got along so quickly, although he came in as a fresh student in year 11 while I enrolled before him in my 10th year at Kingsville College.

When he first resumed, I was the one who took him on a tour round the entire school and then we started to get along. After some weeks in our 11th year in high school, Ebi fell in love with a dazzling young girl whom so many of our peers longed for. He told me how he felt but didn't know how to go about it, while I on the other hand, smiled and told him not to worry because Princess was coincidentally my closest female friend right from year 10

Days later, he gathered enough momentum to tell Princess how he felt after series of Practice 😅 and luckily for him, their feelings were mutual (so he thought). The news of their relationship became the trend and they were perfectly right for each other. As time passed, they both began to realise each other's flaws and issues sprung up. Then, on a cool evening, few minutes till night prep, just as the usual pattern was, Ebi and Princess cuddled like a little child would cuddle her teddy bear and as he went for the kiss, she didn't let him. After prep, Ebi explained the incidence that took place with tearful eyes. I felt pitiful and assured him I'd talk to her the next day. The next day came and although I wasn't so much of a "love doctor", I did the best I could. Princess opened up to me about the cause of her action and due to our close relationship with each other, I knew most of her secrets. She said, "The truth is, I was forced into this relationship, I never really liked Ebi but I was afraid to break his heart so I decided to give this relationship thingy a try." As speechless as I was, I couldn't afford to let Ebi know about this so I kept it to myself and lied to him that everything was okay. I tried to detach myself from being the middleman in their relationship but I couldn't help it because they both needed me.

Stay tuned to find out what happens next in my next release. The date is yet to be confirmed but it'll be announced soon enough.
