yinka-web; the confession of a smitten girl

It was the break of part 2 first semester when a lot was going on in my life. Actually, by that time I had found some closures but it had been a tough semester and I wasn't ready to go home yet. My sweet but sometimes sore friend, Yinka suggested we stay back in school to learn something new, web design and graphics to be precise and I agreed. It was a really good excuse to stay back in school that won't make my parents freak out and I was really excited about it. The first day we went for the lesson seemed normal enough if you don't see anything wrong with lateness of course. I met Micah the graphics teacher. A handsome young graduate who seemed passionate about graphics. I wasn't so sure what he was doing for a living but i knew he thrived in graphics and probably provided incomes too. In his defence, who needed a 9am-5pm job anyways when you have something you enjoy doing. He was a really good teacher, I know that because yinka was always almost grinning at everything he said... wait a minute, it was because he was handsome too! Yinka has this policy of accepting friend's request on facebook based on how handsome the guy is. That must be it! why she was always grinning i mean, but I do know he was a good teacher too. Web design however was slated to the evening class because the teacher wasn't around. Here is a reason one can't complain about the schedule, the classes were so cheap it was relatively a charity and I think the teachers too were volunteers, so basically we were at their mercies. The evening however came as I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed and went to class amidst Yinka's fuss of course. We got there some minutes before he came, earlier than most I might add but looking at him as he entered, there was something mesmerizing about him. He had this cute baby looks and when he spoke, he spoke like one. I think he was wearing a yellow t-shirt, I can't remember now but the turning point came for me when he smiled. Oh my gosh! Of course, he didn't know that and I didn't admit that to myself either but just like always Yinka was grinning by my side and the grin couldn't be wider when he said Yinka was his name. I bet Yinka (my friend) lept for joy right from her stomach. Ok, here is where I clarify things: my bestfriend Yinka (don't tell her I called her that) isn't a grinning fool but a 4.GPA student and I might have exaggerated the grinning a little bit, what do I know? my memory is fussy already. Our day went like any other, just that we knew better about graphics and web design than we did a day before, not to mention we met people that made us have butterflies in our tommies not that we are ever going to admit that, not to ourselves, not to anybody. We did the assignments we were given majorly to impress them (I know that's why I did mine because I'm as lazy as any lazy person you've ever met) and the next day too we went to class to fill the vacuum. After the second day, I found another reason to do my assignments because I was falling in love with the courses already and not because I had eeny, meeny, miny, moe crushes on my teachers, in fact after the the first week the crush was all about gone. The web design class finished that week and I was kinda sad about that because I didn't get to know about PHP and won't get to listen to Yinka talk again. Albeit he parted with his phone number, why he did that exactly I don't know but i took it, reluctantly I might add ( you never show that you are enthusiastic about getting a guy's phone number, never!) which I saved with the name Yinka-web. That night I checked him out on 2go but unfortunately he hadn't visited the site for a while. I checked him out on facebook and we had one mutual friend - Gbenro, that doesn't mean I can send him a friend request (wouldn't do it even if it killed me). Like many crushes I've had in my life, it slowly fizzled out and I went back to my normal life. I met him a few times after that and at one point I took courage to send a message to him on whatsapp which was more like a thank you note. Occasionally we said 'hi's and at one point he noticed my intelligence which was cool and weird at the same time. I didn't think much of that until this break when he sent a simple 'hi' on whatsapp and since then a day won't be complete without chatting with him. Yesterday however was a turning point, I changed his contact name on my phone from Yinka-web to Adeyinka.
