      Hello there, before I take you on the roller coaster journey of my story. I'll rather it's convenient I tell you a little bit if myself if you could understand. That's if you could understand. You see I don't think anyone could ever understand me so I don't really expect love. My parents love me as any parents could but sometimes I wonder if they weren't my parents, if they would want anything to do with me. Sometimes when I look at myself I ask myself what's the problem with me. I just think I'm complicated. I wonder if it's my zodiac sign I did a research once and found that people of my sign are usually complicated, opinionated, sensitive but I don't think I believe in zodiac sign. Well I know I like to sit down and observe people. Sometimes I feel like I can see through them. Into their souls. See how their mind works. Sometimes the things people vsay to me do not really bother me and sometimes they do. You might think I have some deep psychological issues or I had an abusive childhood or something really bad happened to me that made me this way. But let me tell you a little bit about my family.

      It all started the day I met him. Willy. That's his name. Maybe when I'm done with this story you'll understand. Before him, I never really had a friend. I never had that person that could help finish my sentences. I never really had that person that understood me or we could laugh about the most silly things. If someone had told me that very day I would meet someone that could impact my life so much, I would have doubted. Not even the most powerful prophet could have convinced me

      It was the day I wrote my jamb. Now this was my third trial I had tried the past two years and it kept hitting hard. The exam was to start by twelve but I arrived the venue two hours earlier. He had this magnetic personality that you were attracted to him from miles away. There he was, standing against the truck of a tree. The jam.b officials had not made any arrangement to provide shelter for those w inho would wait outside before their exmas commenced and I stood under the sun panicking. Anxiety filling my bones. If I failed jamb this time, I could just take my life. Then he called out to me. Aren't you going bro come under the shade?. I can't remember if it was the look on his face or the sound of his voice but some thing about him spoke kindness. Something about him made me feel safe. I guess I knew from that moment we were going to be friends. He smiled and beckoned for me to come over and I went to him. For the next two minutes, I pretended to revise my notes burying my head into my book and bringing it closer to my face than normal. God knows I wasn't seeing anything on the pages of those books. 8 wish he could just say something but he seemed quiet. He seemed to care and be uninterested at the same time. I refused to speak first, common I'm the girl he's supposed to make the first move. Just then, I heard him speak. Looking straight as if he wasn't talking to me but it was obvious he was.

      Are you sure you understand what you're reading or you're just looking at the book?. I almost looked up to him but I pretented i didn't hear. I wouldn't let him get to me and
