As an introvert, I'm used to being very reserved to myself, I detest flirting life style. From my upbringing I believes in character decency and personal discipline, not to be told the right thing before doing, when I already knew the right thing to be done. Because of my take to this very kind of life style, I was exceedingly loved by religious leaders both within and outside my worship center. My parents where proud of me and very confident that I was going to make them proud. Our village is a very small one as such 80% of the village damsels where clamoring for me (hmm... the little shy me). I believed and held firm to this lifestyle of mine throughout my high school, even when in turn some laughed at me and called me all sorts of name, names like "old School guy, holy boy, alone ranger, Jesus brother" all through it, I stood firm.
When it came to my academy, I was an excellent person leaving them with very wide margin in position as our terminal results are issued, Ah.. Eddy was the Teachers favorite, loved by many and cherished by all. The school management could not let me be, I was being taken out for inter-school competition, quiz, debates and spelling competition where basically the competitions we participated in, from one school to the other. We where the three best students in the school at that time, which eventually turned out to be best of friends and study mates, two males and a female.
We were John, Fatima and myself Eddy, John was good in Quiz and Debates but not Spellings, Fatima Was the female amongst us, she was good in Debates and Spellings but not in Quiz, but myself, I was good in all, Quiz, Spellings and Debates, we won a lot of prices to the school and for ourselves, those prices are till today still in the school library. Prices amongst which are Silver medals, bronze medals and Gold medals 🏅, some times cash prices
My benefits for limiting Love Life and maximizing Self disciplined life, it's very numerous then and even now. I had opportunity to several free scholarships in the school, individual scholarships and corporate scholarships, both in cash and in kind, I had no personal needs as all were being taken care of by the several boards, my terminal exercise and text books where made ready before the first week of resumption.
My encounter with Elina the beauty queen
In one of our outings to the shore for general recreation, gosh.. I glanced at this beautiful lady without any second thought she caught my attention, I lose control off myself for some seconds before noticing it, this lady was adorable, beautiful, elegant and charming. The only thought that ran through my mind at that time was is this a human or an Angel? this could be an Angel escaped from heaven I mustn't let her go (I said within me) after all I'm in my final year in the high school at this time, at least I need a girlfriend to myself.
So I sneaked out from my colleagues and went to where she was, I secretly tapped her then she turned, I smiled, at my smile she looked amazed and partly surprised, "who are you?" she politely asked, with a a smiling face I responded "I am Eddy, I came to tell you that you are beautiful and I admire you" this time she smiled and said "thank you, and you are handsome too" I proceeded I'll love us to be friends, I'm a final year student of King's College High school Beten, "alright that good by me, I'm also a final year student of Angelica High school Gakem" we shook hands together and parted to see again on Sunday in her church (Christ the King parish). Throughout that day I was just excited.
Ahh, it's just two days away from Sunday, I can't wait...it was on that very Sunday after I took my birth that I remembered that they are Three Christ the King parishes in town; Anglican Christ the King, Catholic Christ the King and Presbyterian Christ the King. wao.. where do I start from?
(No phone, Ah.. I was demoralized)
Let me start searching for her this Sunday at Catholic Christ the King, which I did but couldn't find her, next I was at Anglican Christ the King, still couldn't find her, on planning to visit Presbyterian Christ the King the next week I forget that was my last week in the high school gosh...
My parents came picked me up from school on Friday evening, so till date I've not been able to see that love of my life.
I pray God will keep her for me till we meet.
