The year went to an end without them texting one another. A new year started and they went back to the campus. Hlogi was going to do her second level and Jack his fourth. When they bumped into one another, they just smiled and waved, and then passed.

One day Hlogi realised that she loved Jack, but she didn’t want to admit it to herself. She just kept on telling herself that it was just a crush and soon it would go away. She couldn’t stop thinking about him and didn’t want to tell anyone about it, not even her friends, Daphney and Pretty.

One day when she was walking to her residence with one of her classmates, Hlogi, she saw Jack and they waved at each other.

“Wow! Girl do you know that guy? You and him would look good together.” said Puseletso, her friend.

“Ah come on girl. Why him?” Hlogi said laughing. It made her happy because she loved Jack and no one knew about it, now someone was saying that they would look good together.

Days went by and the love she had for Jack grew stronger and stronger until one day when she couldn’t keep it to herself anymore. She decided to tell Daphney and Pretty about it.

“Girls, there’s this guy in fourth level called Jack. I love this guy, at first I thought it was a crush but now I realize that it is love. I so wish he could know how I feel.”

Then Daphney quickly responded: “Oh. I know him, he is cute. Girl do something, pretend as if you need help from him. He will notice and do something.”

“Do you think it will work?” asked pretty.

“Trust me, it will work.” Replied Daphney.

Then Hlogi said: “The thing is we haven’t talked in a while and I don’t have his number anymore. I’ll just let it go. The guy has probably forgotten that I exist.”

“Ha ha ha! Suit yourself, forget about him then.” Said Daphney.

Hlogi would smile and wave at Jack whenever she saw him and he would do the same. One day he sent a text to her on Facebook:

Hey, you should visit me sometimes

Hlogi was so happy, but didn’t know how to reply. She was scared that if she showed him how much she loved him, he would take advantage of her and play her. She just replied:

Ok, tell me where you stay and when you’ll be free. If I’m also free I’ll visit

Jack just told her where he stayed. Days went by and nothing happened. Hlogi decided to look for Jack’s number and called him pretending that she needed help with something. Unfortunately he was not around the campus, but promised to let her know as soon as he got back to the campus.

Two days later he called and asked her to visit. She was so nervous, and she went to his place. She enjoyed his company, he was not boring. She then started going to his place frequently.
