SWEET MEMORIES OF ONOME2


As we continued chatting,all of a sudden about 4 men with name tags and the I'd cards hung round their necks strode into the class as they called our attention to the commencement of the examination..everyone who had been chatting or walking around like me quickly returned to our seats and re arranged all our
exam implements as we all settled down one of the men read out the rules and all the other regulations long story short we started the examinations and eventually after several hours of  brain crunching and back breaking intellectual and mental exercise we were finished...I had a party later in the day so I could not wait to get home and get prepared but first the situation with onome had to be sorted out to my advantage..as soon as we finished and all the students trooped out as they poured into the compound and gathered together in groups to discuss the exams some were making their way towards the gate,before I knew it those yeye school mates of mine were already in my class looking for onome we all went over to her and were discussing about the exams eventually the discussion turned to what we were doing afterwards,she didn't say much as we all continued chatting away knowing better now I should have kept quiet as well and followed her lead considering the fact that I wanted to date her,but I think the problem I had then looking back now was that prior to meeting onome,all the girls I had come across had been relatively easy,added to that are the older aunties I had been fortunate to be involved with  all in all I had never met an introverted good quiet and gentle girl who is not into parties fashion and normal teenage stuffs so we kept on chatting loudly talking about parties as she just listened and smiled I thought I was impressing her not knowing I was doing the opposite before I knew it one of my school mates asked her for her number and again with the same smile she gave them her number ...my heart sunk and I was green with jealousy ...for a girl who is not even my girlfriend or have any romantic liaison with me oo loool

After about 25 to 30 mins  the airforce official car that dropped her off arrived and after saying goodbyes we all waved her off as she got in the car and it left the compound,as soon as she left my school friends  asked me if I noticed the prosthetic hand and I said yes I had seen it before so apparently they had noticed it too and like me were being too polite to say anything ..it was after she left that we remembered the other girl school mate who was in another building from us lol luckily for us she just got out of her building as we approached so she hurried to meet us on the way as we all turned round and walked towards the gate as we got near the gate I saw my own driver(not my personal driver o lol)and got in with one of my male school mates who was going in same direction.

The first time i called her an older person whom i presumed was her mum picked up the phone and i asked for her instantly putting up my most respectful posh and innocent accent on the phone,it must have worked because she told me to hold on and i could her her calling for ONOMe,eventually she came to the phone and was surprised when she found out it was me,laughing a short and nervous laugh i was almost thinking maybe this girl didn't want me to even call her before she said she was not expecting me to call and was pleasantly surprised  we talked some more about the examinations and what we have all been up to,she also asked after my other school mates and asked why the girl amongst us was acting that funny towards her,i could tell her anything definite about that because knowing the female specie she will probably assume i or any of the other guys was dating the girl for her to react towards her that way after about 30minutes when she became more free on the phone and we were chatting again like old friends i asked her who picked up the phone she asked me why and i said because the person sounded really posh even the accent like a white person..she laughter shortly at that and said that was her mum, she said her mum was quarter white as her mum's mother(ONOME'S grandmother) was white while her mum's father was a Nigerian and her mum spent most of her early years in the united kingdom this was why ONOME too had a very light complexion which explains her skin colour which had me confused before..
Week after week, after the GCSE examinations,i started to call ONOME incessantly,mostly in the evenings after school  we will talk for an hour or two hours just gisting generally,she listens more than talking but what she lacks in a lively contribution she makes up for in enthusiasm.

She admitted to me after after about 3 weeks that we have been in constant telephone communication that my other school mates had tried calling her a couple of times but she either does not answer the call or  makes it difficult and awkward on the phone,according to her the first time she met us all she was watching and studying the way all of of were acting and my other 2 school mates came across as rude,proud and razz in their behaviour which was partly true because while we were talking one of them started boasting about his dad's house and new car and how he would be travelling abroad at a point asking ONOME if she has ever been abroad..She said why she now refused to even pick up any of their phone calls again was a nasty text one of them sent her asking her why she was behaving like she was all that..due to her nature she just decided to ignore them altogether..this happened like a week after we started chatting but she did not tell me because she was not sure if we were all in it together..she said the only reason why she continued chatting with me was due to her impression of me the first time which was favourable due to the way i spoke and the kind of things i said and also because her mum who picked up the phone the first time thought i was avery polite young man…lol

I was at a loss on how to navigate and approach the issue of dating with ONOME,this was because like i said earlier unlike all the other girls and older ladies i have been with this girl was not only beautiful but her personality and behaviour matched her beauty as well you could not fault her in any way and i did not want to mess this up especially with her disclosure concerning my schoolmates…a girl or lady who listens ,watches and pays attention to a man's behaviour and traits needs to be feared because you can't deceive them easily oo…

Anyway,i resolved to take it step by step and also to watch her mood and just drop it once and for all on her,i reasoned that her countenance and reaction will determine how i was going to tackle the ensuing days besides i knew for a fact that such girl will be getting approached by different boys and if i made the mistake of not expressing myself to her then i will have snookered myself and she will just put me away in the dreaded "FRIEND ZONE"  ….THUNDER CLAPS…LOL

In august of that year,this was around a month plus after we began talking on the phone she informed me that her mum was marking her birthday in a week's time and was wondering if i wanted to come as she was inviting a few friends of hers..with my heart beating wildly,wild palpitations occasioned by my nervous disposition i tried acting casual about it but if she had been paying close attention she would have noticed the slight tremor in my voice as i tried hard and answered her that i will come but with a friend and had to inform my mum as well which she was cool about…i didn't really need to inform my mum but like i said earlier i have studied gnome and her personalities and i know that my normal behaviours of sneaking out to parties and all that would be like a total turn off for her,from our discussions the kind of boys/guys she liked are the intellectual quiet innocent guys which i have managed to turn myself into since we started chatting,sometimes i will slip up but will quickly re adjust as she almost caught me out its not easy pretending to have an opposite personality to what one is naturally lol
