I’m here to talk about my first kiss.
To be honest it was awkward and weird, I was 10, so I was definitely still a kid. Any teacher catches you doing that, I’m not sure what will happen, but you will definitely be brought out of the assembly ground and be made a scapegoat for others to learn from. I was one of the few selected by my FineArt teacher to make a drawing that portrays the topic: “free education for the year 2000”. I was one of the best student in fine art then, and my crush could also draw well, she was selected also for the competition.
She knew I had a crush on her, by the way her name is Stephanie, she is an half-caste, her Mum is an American and her Dad from Nigeria, she was one of the most beautiful girls in my class and had a lovely smile back then, I’m sure she still does. Fast forward to the end of the term, when the winner of the Art competition was announced, surprisingly I won and the price was a BMX bicycle with a set of drawing pads. After we got to the class from the assembly ground she came right to my seat and kissed me for about two seconds, stood up and walked back to her seat. Fast forward to the next morning, because her mum came to pick her immediately the bell for the closing hour rang, so I couldn’t get to see her, which part of me was happy about,because I was shy to face her. She came to meet me the next morning after the morning assembly to tell me how she was happy I won the Art competition and asked if I knew how to ride the bicycle. Lol, I didn’t know how to respond to her because I was still shy to look into her eye directly, I was shocked when she said it was just a kiss, so come of it. The first thing that came out of my mouth was thank you, and I didn’t know when I asked her if she could be my girlfriend and she said YES. Lol, it was over as soon as it started, after 3days I included her name on the list of noisemakers in the class, because I was the class prefect and my classmates knew I liked her and I didn’t want to seem biased because she also left her sit to gist with her friend, but I guess I will never forget that day.
