Experiencing new things as a child was something I enjoyed doing a lot I still remember when I was three how happy I was the first day I went to school I was so happy about it I didn't sleep in class during nap time and my madam at the time gave me two strong strokes on my palm so on the next day I cried till my mum accepted to let me stay home .I still remember the first time I rode a bicycle that was when I was five years old,I was trying to prove to my friends I was brave but ended up breaking and arm so that was the last time I tried and then I remember climbing a pawpaw tree when I was seven to pluck a riped one to eat well I didn't get it but ended up of the ground I hit my chest on the ground so hard I thought my heart would pup out. At 12 I had grown tall well the tallest in my class which I was not very happy about because my friends would tease me about then one day an Fm presenter that leaved in my neighborhood told me that I was pretty and that I should be his girlfriend I did the most rational thing that came to my mind I looked him up from his head to toe and told him to pray that he dies from a sudden heart attack else I will find a way to poison him and his entire family well that was the first and last and old man told me I was pretty or I even stopped talked with an older man then when I turned 13 I stayed in a friends house till Dawn because we were watching Twilight Saga and it rained heavily so by the time I decided to head home the whole streets were flooded with water but I couldn't stay because I had not told my mum where I was on my way home I slipped and fell in a gutter I didn't see because of the flood as I was about to drown something pulled me out and I thanked the stars and the person that rescued me so that was the last time I stayed out more than one hour without freaking out . Soon I realized I was now grown at the age of 14 so I opened a Facebook account to join social media but I got a massage from a random person who sent me their naked pictures so I instantly blocked the person and quit using Facebook so guess what I wasn't gron after all and that was the first and last I joined any social media groups . At age 16 I traveled to help my Aunt whom at the time had given birth to girl and needed help with cooking and cleaning and other things so on Sunday she took me to her church which was not far from where we stayed It was fun to be around people I instantly made friends exchanged numbers with them agreeing to meet up and go out to watch a movie or something when church was over she went to have a word with the pastor so I sat right outside the church a few minutes later I was fuming because I was starving so I went in search for her inside the church premises I caught sight of the most angelic beautiful perfect specimen of a boy that I think was about a year older than I ,I instantly forgot I where I was just standing there watching him packing his piono , I was so spell bound I didn't even blink my eyes he had the most beautiful hair and God his eyes when he turned my way was the most beautiful I had ever seen in my life how had I not seen him playing the piano God he is beautiful at that instant I pictured my self in a wedding gown and him in a back tux standing hand in hand at the alter I was in love until I saw the smirk on his face staring right at me so I acted like I was looking for something but it was too late I had been caught staring like a teenager that I was ,as I turned to leave I heard the most angelic voice say hello to me but I was too flustered to turn around that I walked away with my head bent that was the biggest first I had ever experienced which will hunt me for the rest of my life because I didn't even get to know his name nor his number the next week he was not there and the next and the next till It was time to go back home so I mustered the caurage and asked about him and I was told he had gone to boarding school .now I ask my self was it love at first sight because I get myself to forget about how he looks or his smile or his voice and ask myself what would have happened if I had just turned around and faced him I might have gotten his name and maybe a number or something rather than regret so the next vocation I asked my aunt if she needed me thankful she did so I went there two days after vacation day and on the Sunday made plans to talk to the guy at the church but unfortunately I didn't get and opportunity to and we went back home on Wednesday I was still feeling bad when I got a call from a strange number so I answered the call and the voice the met my ears made me drop the phone to the floor but I picked it and said hello it was him I just knew it from his voice and he just said Hello which I answered he introduced himself saying he wanted to be friends I was beyond excited but didn't let it show just talked casually and decided to meet and talk after church the next Sunday I found out he got my number from his sister whom I had made friends with just not long ago and he told me how he was struck by lightning the moment he saw me that he wanted to talk to me but I didn't give him the time of the day so he just stole my number from his sister's phone which I was grateful for 5 years and I still remember the first time I saw the angel that hunted my dreams and stole my heart from the first sight
