A random encounter

Part 1

By Emem IniPublished about a year ago 2 min read

I don't know when I got mess*up , I don't know where it got worse , I don't just understand.

Growing up I've always seen myself as a mere human being , one who didn't need much interaction with other humans . What do we call that ? "Introverts"

I have been a strict introvert for as long as I can remember. Not so much love around but I survived !

As a fine guy as I believed myself to be or as I was being addressed , I found myself in several intimate relationships that didn't take a week to end .

Being stuck in one chapter of life for a while now made me think there wasn't much to life. Just eat , bath , sleep , wake and sleep again .

So I thought to myself , how can life be so boring ?.

Watching my life as it unfolds made me yearn for one thing ," peace!". I craved for peace like a pregnant woman would crave for unimaginable things .

I struggled in all social areas to communicate, associate and love , most times I was misunderstood which landed me in places I should never have set foot on

But nevertheless, my boring life came to a pause when I decided to visit the library one day .

One sunny day I realized I've been wasting money on data bundles when my school had free wifi but it wasn't where I usually visited .

I found myself on this sunny day walking towards the library so I could download more anime. I'm human too ! I should at least behave like one most times . Approaching the library I was asked to drop my bag on the counter to ensure I didn't ste*l any books .I mean , trust me I'm not here for the books , I uttered as I rushed in .

A few minutes into downloading my anime,I feel a soft tap on my shoulders

"Hey! Please what's the time?".As she slowly opened her eyes, the gentle stretch of her lithe frame and the soft, golden light dancing across her serene face revealed a beauty so fresh and captivating, like a delicate flower unfolding its petals after a gentle morning dew.

I was thunderstruck by her beauty that I suddenly forgot what she had asked .

" You're so beau...." As soon as I could utter the words I was interrupted

"I mean the time " she repeated as she hastily packed her books and rushed out of the library .

My legs moved along with hers following her behind

"Oh it's a minute past one " I replied running towards her .

" No! No! No ! " She repeated as she ran out towards the field area .

I didn't get any information from her so my legs thought it would be cool if it ran after her
