A year later, when Jamie,turned 15, things began to change ,concerning his views on girls. He had finally entered his final year of his Junior High School education and was ready to make his family proud by making the grades. Things got better for him as his father sacrificed a huge amount of money to pay all his fees such that he could be at peace to study. Weeks passed by as the final examinations edged closer, with nothing else on his mind, his only aim was to pass the exams,he was very focused and it seemed like nothing could distract him not knowing what the future held for him.
A week before the final examination,there was a program for final year students of different schools,where they would meet each other,familiarize with themselves and most importantly, they would know the rooms in which they would write. Jamie's school happened to be the selected center for that year as other schools came to seek their rooms. Whiles they were at the program, there was a stunning lady who caught Jamie's eye, this was the first time he had ever seen a lady and got attracted.
He asked himself"What's this feeling?,Why is my heart beating so loud and fast?" , as he kept starring at her and couldn't take his eyes of her. The program finally came to an end and it was time for everyone to leave to their various homes. Jamie asked himself if he would ever see her again as he walked home with his friends,he suddenly felt a tap on his back and he turned to find out who it was. When he turned, he was stunned, it was the girl who he had been starring at during the program."Oh my God it's her" he said to himself in his mind as he was so confused and didn't know what to say.
"Heey,you look familiar have we met before?"she asks him. "Well,aside from the program,I don't really remember you from anywhere" he replies.
"Aren't you Aunt Diana's son?"she asked him which got him shocked as he said "Yes I am, how do you know my mother?"as she replies saying"That explains it all,I'm Aunt Kate's daughter, Linda, we met when we were quite young." "Oh my, word you've really grown up,it's been quite a while since we met I couldn't even recognize you" Jamie said as he couldn't take her eyes of her in shock. "I've got to go,I'll see you later"she said to him as she had to hurry home,"Oh okay sure,bye, hope to see you soon" he said as they parted ways.
When he got home he told his mother about the lady he met and she was excited that he met her again after a long while. He said to himself "Why did I fumble when speaking to her, am I crushing on her?"as he lied down on his bed and gazed at his roof thinking about her. It was the first time he had ever thought about something which wasn't his examination.
The week for examination came and Jamie was really focused. After every paper he wrote, he'd see Linda coming out of the examination hall and she'd wave at him and smile. This made the feelings he developed for her rise. Finally the examinations were over and he graduated Junior High School with Linda in mind and his results falling to become the second of his priorities and thought of how to get closer to her.
