A Day of, 'They Know'.

They always know.

This is going to be a short interesting one, so here I go.

So, when I was in secondary school, a new guy joined in our senior year and he was so good-looking. I happened to have a crush on him. I liked him eh. There was nothing to deny about that. Unfortunately, I didn’t tell him and we were quite close, you know. I was always so excited when I saw him and we clicked so well. I didn’t know if anyone noticed I liked him and I didn’t really care if they knew, honestly.

Fast-forward to when we graduated, months have passed by and by then, feelings weren’t that anymore even before we graduated sef. One day he posted this thing on his status, asking people to tell him one thing they’ve always wanted to tell him. When I saw it, I was daring to tell him I used to like him when we were still in school. I was like, 'fuck that', who cares about who likes who or who don't. I needed to get it off my chest and move on.

I told him and guess what oga said, ‘I knew’. Come and see the way I was laughing, more like, I was embarrassed. You mean to tell me, all those while in school, you knew I liked you?? Ewee. Was it so obvious?? I mean, I knew I liked him to the extent I even got closer to his brother and was always watching out for him. Chai. You guys, things are happening oh.

One time in school, I even distanced myself because I noticed someone else liked him and it seemed the feelings were mutual too. I was pained and didn’t know it could hurt that much. What hurt the most was, there wasn’t confrontation of any sort. He didn’t care I was distanced, he became distanced to and he was angry I was distanced when I finally talked to him first.

At that time when I talked to him first, I had finally came to peace with myself, not liking him anymore and just wanted to get things over with. So, you telling me that you knew I liked you while all those happened is just funny. We finally had the conversation.

Years have passed that this happened. To think, I was in the kitchen when I randomly remembered this and wanted to write about it. I’m glad I did.

People know when you like them. Believe it or not. They know, they always know. They either choose to acknowledge your feelings or ignore. Just know, It’s not bad when the feeling is not mutual, it just hurts.
