The famous quote that says "love is blind" never lied.
A true infatuated story of an anonymous Janice:
Chapter 1
There he was, looking all tall and hot - his skin had become like the rich creamy chocolate, I recently enjoyed drinking. His eyelashes became thicker and longer, and his hair was so dark, his lips looks like it was coated in deep red.
Holy Vegas! What happened to Fernand? Did he have a plastic surgery or…?
We have been classmates since primary School and I have never heard, my heart beat this loud around him.
I mean, we talk and we're good but I have never been shy around him.
We had an all girls talk, after our Junior school one final exams, we were happy we weren't freshman in school anymore.
We talked about a variety of things in whispers, so the boys wouldn't make out what we were talking about, ranging from our dreams, how to take care of one's self during menstruation because a girl was constantly having problems- she doesn't calculate her cycle and she's always surprised when it comes.
The topic was soon centered around the term "Crush", I have never had a crush on someone, the girls were talking about their crushes with dreamy eyes.
Out of everyone's crush, Hannah's got me interested.
"I have a crush on Fernand, every time I close my eyes, I see him. I see him in whatever I'm doing" she confessed.
I was surprised because I didn't know, why Hannah of all people, who was the top in class, would have a crush on Fernand.
"He's handsome, funny, lively, intelligent, he can be annoying but he knows the right thing to do" she continued.
All these while, my brain kept ticking what she was saying, I glanced at him, he was laughing at whatever the other guys were saying, I realized she was right.
"Without him, this class would literally be boring" another girl said and we are agreed.
"what about you Janice?" Ophelia asked me.
"I really don't have any… you know back then in primary School 6, I only said I like being friends with Owen and everyone concluded I liked him, Fernand also made matters worst, him and the boys made a song about us and made jest of me once again"
"Eddy was a complete psycho, he was the one who told the wrong story" Ophelia said.
" I was the one who gave him something to say, I shouldn't have said anything" I said shrugging.
" What about David?" Ophelia asked once again
I pretended to cough a little.
" Sorry" they all said.
After Owen and David left to another school, Fernand found a way to bring another rumor, he told everyone David was into me and that I also felt the same, all efforts to defend myself proved abortive. Thank goodness, David left to another school, I only got to see him at church.
I could have been able to say something if we weren't, all going to the same church, same school and they are literally everywhere in my life. Fernand has always been the crazy one.
"Those cousins like you" Ophelia said smiling cheesily at me and I rolled my eyes.
"Seriously, how do you get two cousins, hooked to you?" Freya asked
" They're not into me" I said
"Deny it all you want but I know it's true" Freya said.
That was much of the conversation, I could really remember.
I went for the holidays and kept thinking of nothing but Fernand, I thought he was amazing.
Now, in junior school three, he stood right in front of me, his eyes twinkling like the night stars and his smile that always makes me smile even when I don't want to, even when he's about to make another progress of winning The Best trouble maker of the year award, it goes to Fernand, he must'nt Miss it, it seriously belongs to this guy.
