Chasing Her- episode 1 by Storyteller on storytellernigeria.com
Brushing my hair with my eyes glued to the mirror, I said to myself..."Today, Walahi I must talk to this babe". With a frown of determination, I headed to the wardrobe to dress up. Brought out my well dry cleaned, low collar shirt and my ironed chinos trousers, I was about to dress to kill...I know you'll wonder why I was to so emphatic on my dressing..Bros, if you don't package well in the campus, girls would never take you seriously.
I go use swagg, finish this babe today...I said jokingly to my best friend Nanas..who has been staring at me the whole time..I remembered what he used to say, "A well packaged guy, is a lady's workshop".. Omo, in a way, this line made sense to me, cos the girl was not a joking matter anymore. I had being admiring her for a while now..that is, if two months plus is still a while. She was tall, fair skinned with big eyes that lit up her face accompanied with a smile that could melt the heart of any Pharoah. It was Love at first stare..I couldn't stop gazing at her, the first day I saw her. She was a fresher and I was a 300 level student. Her friends called her Sophia. I had tried in more than one occasion to talk to her but the truth is that, Liver no gree me..which made a quote by my friend well known as "Storyteller" valid..I remembered him saying that "Liver is the barrier between a guy and his Miss right"..tell me if it is not true..
I was madly tripping for this girl ooh , and we've come across ourselves on more than one occasion, but during these times... my head would just go blank and all my pick up lines at that point will automatically varnish. Kai, na so Love dey be..
I remembered one time, when I had all intentions of finally talking to her...I stood beside her lecture hall, gradually waiting for her to finish her lectures..when she was done, she came out with 5 of her friends and just walked right past me..Bros, my heart cut ..I couldn't say a word. It is harder to approach a girl in the midst of her friends than when she's all alone.
Anyways today..wherever she was, I was more than determined to talk to Sophia. As I put on my shoes about to leave the room, I heard a voice from behind me.."All this dabbing na for Sophia abi...Nothing go happen" ..from the words, I could tell it was my next door neighbour, Austen. I looked at him and walked out, giving him the silent treatment.
It was 15 past 2 and this girl was taking forever to come out of the lecture hall. All my packaging were beginning to wash out as I was getting all drenched up in my own sweat and was really uncomfortable. My confidence level had dropped by 50 percent, sorry I mean 90 percent and to say the truth, I was beginning to have not just 2nd thoughts but 3rd and 4th thoughts about talking to sophia today. I wanted to go home, but the fear of proving Austen right, kept me. Just as I turned to leave, I heard a gentle female voice..I could tell it was her..and she was really close.. Why is it that this girl shows up when I am least ready,I said within me...as I muttered to myself, she passed me and I could see her tall figure in front of me and she was alone. This was my big chance...don't dull my guy, I said to myself, trying to gather courage as I chased after her.
Hello hey, were the words that came out of my mouth as I bolted towards her..she stopped and looked behind to see who it was..I could see the expression on her face. It was a mixture of confusion and anger. Do I know you? She asked...Now, I had stopped, face to face with my biggest fear and I was still trying to gather balance, when she threw her jamb question again..
Do I know you? She asked again..this time her big eyes were right at my face.....now somewhere in my head, I was trying to figure out the answer to this question..my heart was pounding, I was sweating as I stared back at her eyes...............
