Young, beautiful, caring, friendly, vibrant, short in height and sixteen years in age. That’s who Realeboga was. This lady was known for her friendly smile and how she liked people. Rea liked things done in a rightful way.

She loved herself, and took care of herself from head to toe. Talking about the future excited her the most because all she wanted in life was success and all that would require hard work in order to happen.

Life happened for this young lady. As a teenager she then went through a stage where she developed feelings for guys. She always told herself she’d start dating when she turned twenty-one years. But well, unfortunately, that’s not how things were. Besides, she was young and didn’t know what she was saying.

You know back then, the boys in primary school would choose girlfriends just to play them, and Rea disliked that. She didn’t want boys at all unless they were just friends and nothing more. It was then in Grade 10 that her opinion on boys changed at the age of 15 in 2016. It was the first time in her life that developed feelings for a boy. Later that year, around August, she met this handsome, neat, calm and collected guy at the same school but he was in matric. Surprisingly, it was the first time they saw each other around the school.

It was around August and matriculants at the school were just doing their revision so their work was not that much so most time they were outside. Realeboga was from her Life Orientation lesson going to attend the third period before break walking around alone. So on her way she could see that the guy was looking at her and talking to his friend about her. Once she approached their direction, that guy called her and she stopped. Smiles were all over her as always though. The guy asked her for her name and she told him and told her that his name was Lawrence.

“It’s the first time I am seeing you around school or you came this year?” Lawrence asked.

“It’s the first time seeing you. No I am not new, I have been here since grade 8 in 2014.” Rea replied.

“Oh wow really! By the way you are so beautiful.”

“Thanks,” Rea said blushing.

“It’s a pleasure, I just wanted to tell you that and you should take care of yourself.”

“Thanks once again.”

“Let me not keep you then. I don’t want you to get late to class. I guess we will see each other around school.”

“OK then, even if I am already but it’s OK.”

“Bye, bye.” Lawrence smiled.

“Cheers.”

Realeboga was forever smiling after the conversation she had with Lawrence. The spark was really there. They really clicked for people who had just met.

After school Rea went home, she travelled every day because she stayed 70km away from school so took the bus every day to get home. And Lawrence stayed in the area where the school was.

On that very same day at Rea’s home, she took her phone and got onto Facebook to search for Lawrence and bam! She was fortunate enough to have found his profile on Facebook.
And well Rea did not squander time, she instantaneously sent Lawrence a friend request on Facebook.

Within five minutes Lawrence accepted the friend request from Rea. That’s when things started to get cracking.
