Meeting My Bestie

"My name is Joelle " she said stretching out her left hand for a sake . "Oh sorry I got distracted, hahah " I said and brought my right hand forth. " I use my left hand , sorry for the inconvenience " she apologized. But switched to her right hand anyways. " There's not a problem," I replied and took her hand into mine. Her hand was as delicate as she looked. I held unto her longer than necessary. " My name is Muna, as in Munachimso". I said and finally released her hands. "It's nice meeting you". She said and gave me a smile that went straight up to my heart and warmed me up. "Yeah it's nice meeting you too" I said and returned the smile. That was the first time we met. And now I can't help but wonder why we weren't in talking terms all these past years. I mean we're both in our three hundred levels already, meaning we're about leaving the school and yeah we're just speaking for the first time.

I can't tell how it all happened cause everything happened so fast . But what I can remember is that we're now besties . Joelle became my very best friend. We did everything together, went to places together too . We literally became inseparable.

In my words, Joelle was the most beautiful girl in my hostel. I know there are more pretty girls but my eyes and heart chose to see her as the most beautiful out of them all. She was taller than I am by something that wasn't even up to an inch . But she would always make her point clear about being taller and all that. How funny it was , I don't like arguing with her. I love to let her win . She was Christian just as I was too . Most Sundays we went to church together.

The first time we met I can still remember everything. It was something around 7:00pm in the evening. I was steating in the school shopping mall surfing through the net when she passed by and our eyes met. She didn't stop immediately but later on she came back and said hello. We talked about a lot that night like old time friends trying to catch up on lost times. We discussed about everything. I got to know she was once my boyfriend's sweetheart. He loved her but she never accepted to date him . So like they just became cool friends.

From the first time we spoke I just knew I was going to love her so much. How she made my heart pound and the butterflies all jumpy in my belly. Omg ! Weird feelings I had towards my own gender. I was confused and lost. But I never really gave it much thought.

That day we agreed to meet the next day at same spot. I loved the idea of meeting with her again and couldn't just wait for the next day to come already.

We exchanged WhatsApp numbers and social media handles.

Well I remember sending her "Good morning princess", with a love emoji on WhatsApp . She seemed lost but replied me after all.

That was how I met the girl who would later become my best friend and eventually my girlfriend so I imagine. " But I'm a girl too right ? Yea " . So what's up with the girlfriend part of the statement ?

Omg
