Random high school memory

This post is dedicated to Desh. She made me write it. I’m not sure how much she knows about this particular gist but she’s about to know more.

High school romance was sweet but mostly stupid. I hated high school, a few good memories here and there but in general 4/10, will not recommend. I was in the hostel all through, boarding school was shit 2/10, will definitely not recommend. The 2 score is based on gist and gbeborun vibes.

Let’s get into it. We were in our final year, the peak of crushes, romantic relationships and sexual escapades. Everyone and their dogs either had a crush on someone or was in a relationship. This boy, Precious (a boarder) had a crush on this babe, my bunk mate, for the longest. We’re talking about 2 years or more.

On this sunny Sunday afternoon, Precious told me he liked me. He said he was going to ask my bunk mate out for the last time (make e no be like say I no try) before he asked me out. I was shocked. Majorly because he has always had eyes for her and I was tired of people liking me. It was stressful for me (gist for another day).

I got to the hostel and I told one of my roommates (SS3-only room) that Precious liked me, then she decided it was a good idea for her to tell half of our roommates about it. Somehow, this people turned it on my head and it was my fault Precious was no longer interested in his long time crush. Unfortunately, when Precious asked my bunk mate out, she accepted. Everyone in the room was giving me the eye like you see yourself, making it seem like I was lying. It got so bad that one of my roommates started calling me husband snatcher (HS), same with my initials. She never said it to my face but I heard. Stuff like this always found its way to your ears.

The relationship lasted only 2 months and they broke up with a huge fight in the dining hall. During the relationship, I had no personal contact with Precious. Less than 24 hours later, someone said that I was happy about the breakup and found a way to relate the whole shit to me. It’s funny now but it wasn’t funny then.

After a while, Precious asked me out. I told him I was going to think about it. His main reason was that we could both start afresh after leaving our terrible relationships. The problem with this was that my relationship was not totally off. I didn’t tell him this but I told him I was going to think about it. We had a mutual friend who linked us up that thought this was a great idea. After this secret night meeting, Precious told his friends that I had agreed to be his girlfriend.

The next day in school, the mutual friend went to tell my on/off boyfriend with so much glee that I was in a relationship with Precious. I don’t want to paint this mutual friend as a bad person. He just didn’t like the strong hold my boyfriend had on me. Before the end of that day, my on/off boyfriend told me he wanted to see me. I got so much berating (like a child) that I didn’t talk to Precious till the end of the term. I was mad af at our mutual friend. It was there and then I decided that if I ever got a new boyfriend, I’d have to keep him after away from school and that stupid town.

What’s the weirdest high school memory you remember?
