The Secret Diaries 5

"I know...it’s crazy and and stupid and foolish of me." I replied.
“Don’t forget to add foolish too." She retorted.
Then,

"That wasn’t part of the plan...it was just money Bibi, not love. ”

"I know, I just...i just let him get to me…but not to worry, I’ve learnt my lesson. I’m not seeing him anymore..." Shaking my head, i add "I’m not even going to try to get the phone back."without thinking.

I looked at her with a little sadness in my eyes.
And she caught it.
"What phone?" she asked.
"Mine." i give up. "I left it at Daniel’s."
"You left your phone there? Gee girl, you’re going to go get it back."
"No"
"I’ll go with you…"
"No Kendra, I can’t face him again"
"But……"
"don’t want to see him again and that’s it!" I fumed
Awkward silence...

Then Kendra reached out her arms and gave me a hug.
"Oh my poor baby… You’ll be fine OK? You’ll be fine without him."
"Yeah trust me, i know...i’ve been there," I said, hugging her back.
Through the weeks that came, I was true to my words.
I kept off Daniel.
Well I could…not having my phone made it quite easy for me.
My daily routine was...get to school, come home, eat and go to bed.
On some nights, Kendra made it a point to take me out for a drink or two which I appreciated...
But only because it helped me take my mind off Daniel a bit.
I decided to visit my service provider for a new sim and phone the next day but I forgot.

And it kept happening everyday...

Remember?go get it

The Secret Diaries: Kendra

I had to look out for my friend. She'd gone and fallen in love with some rich, arrogant dude. The type who had women falling all over him and so took advantage. Bibi found out the hard way... And that was after she'd lost her v... to him. It made me mad to know that Bibi still had feelings for the guy... She froze every time she saw him. I wanted to slap her all those times but couldn't... Couldn't blame her either, I know she tried her best to forget him but it was hard. I did my best too... I hooked her up some other guys...rich guys but it never went beyond the first date. She was never interested. I gave up then. L et Bibi do whatever she wants, I told myself. I needed to respect her feelings even though it mad me mad. I cared about her alot. That was why when after an hour she'd told she needed to pee she wasn't back, I got worried and started looking for her... She was missing the party... Hell, I was missing the party by looking fo...

How Well Do You Know Your Telephone History?

Have you ever wondered how you could just pick up this small device and talk through it to someone else, miles and miles away from you and hear them as clearly as if they were sitting on the same couch as you? I have wondered that a lot. I have wondered who could have stumbled on the idea that something could be done to make people who live far away from each other to communicate with each other by voice. How did the person get the idea? Well, here's what i found... Two men, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray stumbled on the idea; maybe around the same time, I don't know, but they both filed for a patent on the same day. This caused a huge disagreement that led to a legal battle to find who to be awarded the patent for the invention of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell won. His lawyer had filed for a patent a few hours before Elisha's lawyer filed for his own patent. One day, in an electrical shop, Alexander Graham Bell was trying to perfect a method for sending mes...

I Met A Man Once (2)

A few months after it started, even though i was still scared about making a wrong decision. He-who-must-not-be-named! was the only man i had my eyes on. I didn't want him to have an idea that i was falling for him incase he took advantage of that information. I was firm in my resolve that i was still going to take my time to get to "yes" to his request no matter how much i wanted everything a relationship entailed with him. Yet, i remembered a singles & dating sermon i watched once that talked about not letting the person go, as long as they added value to your life. So i wrote down the next few lines in my notebook. ''How does he make me feel? Secure, complete, confident, not just excited but emotionally energized when we talk, when he holds my hands or when he touches me. He inspires me. Makes me feel like there is nothing I cannot accomplish every time he's encouraging my work or telling me I can do it. What about the day he told me about m...
