There was this guy in my lodge in school, he looked very gentle and reserved, very quiet and fine boy. I asked my friend in the lodge if this is how he always is (she has been in the lodge before me) she said yes, he doesn’t really relate with people like that, I was like ok. His room is next to mine. I started talking to him and he sounded very smart and intelligent. I was in his room most times when I didn’t have classes or I was less busy. He started passing the night at my room and vice versa. After a while we started dating, he cooked for me those nights I’d sleep at his place and wake up in the middle of the night hungry. We started having sex and all of a sudden he started acting awkward. Long story short, I found out he was dating one of his coursemates, I asked him countless times but he denied it. Fast forward to February 14 we had planned an outing on the evening of that day suddenly this girl shows up at his house, I was dressed up and waiting for him in his room when she came, she started hurling words at me and told me there are many fishes in the river, I was surprised. I asked him what is she talking about, he started shouting at her and told her but he has given her instructions not to show up at his place unannounced. We still went out but that night was terrible, I was angry the whole night. He apologized and I told him I’ve forgiven him, I go through their chats in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. In the morning when I question him, he goes ahead to tell me he’s just flirting with her. I kept on forgiving him till I couldn’t take it anymore, one evening I was so angry and told him I wasn’t interested anymore. He said he had been meaning to tell me the same thing, I cried so much. This is someone I will skip classes for just to be with him, bought him things, gave him my virginity and all. My hostel friend tried to warn me earlier but I was deaf I wouldn’t listen. Later on he came to apologize and said the real reason he was breaking up with me was because I was too good for him. I kept forgiving him and kept showing him love despite all he did. I wake up everyday and I have to see this godforsaken human cause his room is beside mine. I wish I knew better, I’m relocating to another place as soon as my rent expires but I’ve learnt a lesson. Don’t be a good person.
