Chapter 1 - Love At First Sight

Is there anything like love at first sight?She pondered in her mind thinking it not possible. Someone you don't know from Adam and you fall in love with that person.It's can't be true.Not until she started having strange feelings whenever this guy is around and she barely looked at him because she didn't want to get caught.But unconsciously she finds herself staring at him with a thought of this is my dream guy.Both of them were on their Teaching Practice in one school which was what brought them together from different universities.She feels she likes his personality and she can't deny that.She hasn't been in a relationship and she was not even ready for one.But this sudden interest in what concerns him was unexplainable.She's neat and calm and hardly talks whenever her friends are talking.She's very intelligent and all her students liked her so much.She is teaching them Biology which was her major course in university .Sunny,an introvert,a calm and gentle guy that don't talk and hardly contribute to what they discuss under the shed builtmajorly for the Students-teachers.Uncontrollably,she sees herself staring at this guy and finds it hard to stop herself from it. It's obvious that it's a strange feeling because it's unlike her to look at any guy no matter how handsome or cute the person is not to talk staring for long especially when there's a discussion going on amongst her friends.

Unknowingly to her,Sunny has been catching a glimpse of her too thinking this is the girl.Everything about her seems pleasant to him.But walking up to her is a big task as he was afraid if it was not mutual.Also,he thinks he should act fast as he noticed some other guys from his University has interest in her.

As days went on,Sunny is looking for the right time to express how he feels to this young lady who has already said 'no' to one of his friends that ask her out. Sunny was keenly waiting for a day she will be going home alone so that he can open up to her.She's fun to be with and very cheerful and for these reasons she's always surrounded with her friends.She hardly walks alone even to get snacks,she would be escorted with her friends.Thinking of what his delay in expressing himself might cause,he isn't happy with himself as he's a shy type.Because he has once been told that women minds are flexible and for this reason he was thinking he might miss the opportunity if another man should walk up to her and she eventually likes the person.

One day,Sunny summons courage and stylishly stayed beside the window of the classroom where she is teaching.He stood there till she got through while making her uncomfortable when she's taking the class.Suddenly,Sunny entered the class and said 'I will like to see you and can we talk now?'.Pretending not to hear what was said by Sunny who managed to say those few words.Sunny taught for her that she might not hear what I just said because of the noisy classroom but managed again to say it again and he was able to get an answer this time around.'Please I'm coming',Temmy replied and Sunny was elated but sweating seriously from his hands and feet.Waiting and still sweating under the only tree in the school that was just 3 steps away from the entrance of the classroom which supposed to dry off the sweat and make him feel better.Here she comes.Can I say it here?Maybe I should tell her that we should go to the back of the building because if I tell her here and she said she's not interested anybody seeing us from afar or close to us can be able to get her what happened.All this thoughts came in a flash.Yes you said you wanted to see me.Thinking of what to say,another question came.Why are you sweating like this?He could respond to that fast 'That's my nature'.So can we talk now?you wanted to see me.Please can we go to the back of this building I just want to tell you something.Okay no problem.Will you go there and I will come and meet you there.Let me drop this lesson note in my bag and I will come to join you there.Okay, no problem said Sunny.Very happy at her response,He couldn't hold it as it was all over his face.While waiting for her,he was saying prayers in his mind and was thinking of how he would let the cat out of the bag in a way that won't spoil things .'I thought you would be on that side.Well, no problem this place is okay' said Temmy.So help me God he said in his mind as he wasn't expecting her that fast.Yes,what i wanted to see you for is that I have been watching you all this while and you are kind of different and I like everything about you.I'm so sorry for telling you because I don't know if I'm hurting you.No!no!!no!!! you are not.Just tell me what you want to say.I like you I must confess to you.You are beautiful,you are loving and everybody likes you.Thank you she said.Can we see at closing?said Temmy.Sunny who saw this as a dream come through said affirmatively Yes!but your friends will be following you home.That's true she said.What about tomorrow morning?You will come early and I will come early too and we can talk better then said Temmy.You always come with your friends though.Okay!when we close today we will talk.Okay! thank you so much for your time said Sunny. He was very happy with her response and it was like a dream to him.He could tell that Temmy loves him too from the expression on her face.But not hundred percent sure about that.

On getting back to their Staff-room,Sunny could not do anything but was just thinking of how bold he was to walk up to her and engage her .He couldn't believe he did that. Also, he was anxious of what he would tell her when they see later in the day and what if she says No at closing.I don't know why she wants us to talk later.If she had said Yes that would have been all.Well,I hope she likes me too.After few minutes,Temmy came back to the staff-room.There was this sudden change in Temmy's behavior.She was not talking at all.Being extra careful with and unwilling to respond to her friends discussion.She would grudgingly respond to any question directed to her.Temmy was thinking of how to go about seeing him at closing and also what her friends might say.That made her calm and quiet.Trying to look towards where Sunny is sitting almost every second.Meanwhile,Sunny caught her eyes several times but couldn't say a word as nobody there knew what was happening.

At closing, when all student-teachers were taking the bags and leaving,Sunny that used to leave first stayed behind in order to allow them all go so that He could have time for her.Shockingly,Temmy stood up and followed her friends which left Sunny thinking if she had forgotten the agreement.Immediately after leaving with her friends, she came to call' Sunny.Oya let's go'.She didn't wait to listen to Sunny's reply as she left after saying those words.

Now walking behind her friends expecting him to catch up with her.Sunny a shy guy couldn't stay back and couldn't walk fast to catch up with her.He was like let's talk now and we will see tomorrow.As she noticed he was not trying to walk fast, she stopped for him while her friends were wondering what was happening.She asked what course are you studying?where are you from?How many are you?Are you the first or the last born?All these questions just came at once.He managed to answer 'Accounting and I'm from Ekiti state'.Ha! I heard people from your side are always stubborn.How come you are very cool and calm.Sincerely,you are very calm not like others from your school that always talk anyhow and do nasty things like your friend that came to me.I turned him down because I don't like his personality. Well people from your school are always like that but you are different.One could tell how happy He was when she mentioned she didn't like his friend.Temmy that has been quiet is now doing most of the talking as she feels free and also trying to make use of the opportunity.'Will you get to my place and I will see you off to the park?My place isn't far?'.Sunny, feeling like someone who just won a billion dollar jackpot said Yes.But what about your friends?'Two of them stay in the same building with me.They have their own separate rooms.That is not a problem' said Temmy.Okay,I will wait outside for you and you will come back to see me off.it's okay.They now talk as if they have been together for long as her friends were going ahead of them.

While waiting at the gate when she and her friends were inside a lot were coming to his mind like 'Thank God I made the move,This must be true Love,It's Mutual I can feel and see it.Picturing how beautiful she is and her figure.The gate opened and she asked do you have something important that you want to go and do at home?Not really but come and see me off because he didn't want to go in there just to avoid her friends.Okay I'm coming she replied.She came back so fast and said 'let's go'.As they were heading for the park Sunny didn't know what to say and she's now being quiet too.I didn't know you guys stay in the same building maybe that's why you are close.Sunny trying to start a conversation as he was bored with their quietness.
