Our Love Will Be Eternal

Truth or dare?

It was Mike's turn to choose. There were five students who were in the class during break time. Mike was among them and the girl he has had a crush on four two years was right there. Mike was hoping to get her today and dare her to give him a kiss but it had never worked a day for him.

He had engaged in over thirty-five "truth or dare" games this academic session just in order to get to kiss his crush. His crush was the type who was addicted to the "truth or dare" game. The game usually led them into doing naughty things and they played it when the teachers were away. But today the clock went wrong. June was the one asking him today.

"If I choose dare she could dare me to kiss another girl", he thought. "That's not what I want."

"I choose truth," he said in a bit of nervousness.

"Alright," the girl said, "here goes your question. Mike's heart started beating immediately she said this. A lot of possible questions she could ask started running through his mind.

Finally the question was dropped, "Who is your crush?"

"Umm.. That's too personal. Ask another thing please," Mike grumbled. He never saw this coming. He had thought of many other possible things June could ask but this didn't appear even at the least.

"No!" The others echoed. "You have to answer Mike, else you're spoiling the game."

"There's no big deal there. Feel free Mikey," June said innocently.

Mike was now like a computer running too many algorithms. He was thinking if he should let her know that it was her or lie that it was another person.

At first the idea of lying brought comfort to him but then he thought, "what if I just let the cat out of the bag? Set my mind free?"

This thought wasn't so comforting but it was hundred percent compelling.

After some many fast thoughts, Mike ended up deciding to beat around the bush.

"Okay.... My crush is fair with pure black hair. She is average in height and slim. She has a perfect figure eight curve..." he said while smirking and thinking that he had acted smart.

"Where's your crush right now?" June asked with a changed mood. Her aura suddenly felt different.

"Wait that's making it two..." Mike tried to say when June cut in.

"Cause you're not being straightforward!" She yelled, almost sounding annoyed.

"Alright. She's in the school here," said Mike, trying to chill everyone out.

"Where in the school?" June asked again. Not holding back her anger this time.

"Wait... why are you getting angry?" Mike asked and June shut him up immediately, "That's not an answer, Mike.."

At this moment Mike was filled with the option to lie but he couldn't understand why June suddenly switched moods. Her eyes were burning red.

"Okay. I'll answer this one. She's in the class here." He said still in thought of what was going on.

"And the question I asked you at first... Who's she?" She was all red and angry now.

Everyone watched the drama happening right there and were left speechless. Boys always respected mood swings cause a girl could do what she never thought of doing when she's having a mood swing.

"Alright. Alright. I'll tell you," Mike said sounding assuring.

"Go on," June said looking him straight in the eyes.

Mike bent his head low and said, "It's you June. I'm sorry I never told you."

Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment, including June whose mind had just been blown now. She stood staring at him in disbelief.

Immediately, June went closer to Mike and slapped him on the face, yelling at him, "that's what you get for being a coward for two years!"

Her voice sounded so broken.

With her eyes full of tears she ran out to the next class which was empty, bent her head over a desk and started crying.

Mike was just so speechless. He still felt so confused about what happened.

"I couldn't tell her all this while" he muttered.

"It's alright bro. Get up, go get your girl," Sammy one of the boys there said to Mike patting him on the shoulder.

"Yes, go get her Mike" the others backed him up.

Yeah it was was time to be bold. Mike stood up gently and left the class.

While walking to the next class, he thought of how he had always kept his secret crush in heart. Somehow he felt okay doing that. Another way round, he felt he had to become a thing with her.

June on the other hand was thinking about why she had always felt they were not just ordinary classmates as they both appeared to be.

A lot of time she'd noticed how Mike was so kind to her. Sometimes he was more than willing to do stuffs for her. But then he always kept the feelings he had inside.

There was a time she wanted to ask him out but thought of the embarrassment it could bring if he turned her down. She also thought about the possibility of him accepting her only to take charge of that sexy body of hers.

Of course she was so sexy at such a young age. Her hips we're almost like she modelled, but they were only naturally inherited from her mother. Her ass was big enough and wouldn't stop shaking when she walked. So a lot of guys desired her and wanted to have that body to themselves. And she was the type who'd do anything to make someone she loves happy.

She didn't have the character that her class boys liked cause she was too preservative according to them. She could dance well but wouldn't let any boy come close to rock her body during parties. She wouldn't even give them a chance to say naughty things to her.

Mike stepped into the other class and June noticed. She looked up and seeing that it was Mike, she put her face down once more. Then Mike went close to her, took a seat beside her and put his arms over her.

"June?" He called in a soft tuned voice but no reply was given.

"June?" He called again, making his voice clearer this time.

"What is it?" She asked in a low tune.

"I'm sorry," said Mike, "I didn't know how to tell you."

"For two years? Are you kidding me?" She asked.

"I was avoiding..." he tried saying but she cut in.

"...you don't have any excuse, Mike. Any at all! Could you please just let me be?"

"I don't plan on doing that this time around," he said to her.

"And now after all that cowardice you come to play Mr hero? It doesn't work that way Mike," she thundered.

"June, I'm sorry," said Mike, "I'm very sorry."

"You think it was easy for me telling myself no that we were just casual friends just like you pretended to be?" she said. "I was alone and dying with my feelings inside me.."

"It wasn't easy for me either, June," Mike replied. "I was alone too. It was my first time trying to ask a girl I love out. I didn't know how to go about it. I was afraid I wasn't the type you liked."

"What is there in you that I don't like?" June asked him, "you're handsome and a good person. You're always there for me when l need you. What else should I want? You have it all but still.."

Mike stopped her from completing the statement by placing his palms on her cheeks, "June you're more than perfect for me and I thought it would be difficult to make you mine. But thank God it's easier than I thought. I'm happy that you love me just like l love you. I was a coward for two years but now I want to be your hero for eternity. I want us to be together till we have wrinkles all over us and our legs can't even dance anymore. Just make me the happiest person today by putting the past behind and telling me that you love me too."

At this June started sobbing. She hugged Mike in between her tears and cried, "Mike, I love you and I have always loved you. I want us to be together till we have wrinkles all over us and the wedding rings can't stay tight anymore on our withering fingers. I want your lips to be the one I kiss everyday and your arms to be where I rest every time. I want our love to be eternal. Cause right here I'm already assuring you that this love will never end."

Mike raised her face up which she had buried in his embrace, looked her in the eyes and said to her, "one thing I'm bold enough to say now is nothing can come between us June. Our love will be eternal."

"I love you so much, Mike," she said as she sobbed.

"I love you, June..." returned Mike.

Immediately, June grabbed him by the shoulders, brought him closer and kissed him deeply. He resonated almost immediately and kept the kiss going.

While still kissing each other, June remembered that break period was almost over and some teachers returned to class before the bell could even signal the end of break. So she pulled off and exhale deeply. "Let's go to the other class, Mike," she said.

"Sure," he concurred.

They held hands together and walked to the other class. On stepping into the class a round of applause rained in the classroom. Then Mike asked Sammy, "is there make-up on my lips, Sam?"

"Woah!" Everyone hailed as they quickly figured out that the two lovers had already had a kiss on their first day.

Everyone was smiling and clapping for them. While they kissed again before all of them.

They had this law in their class that if you couldn't kiss your partner before the class then you guys are not official recognised by the class as partners.

Then they bell rang for end of break and the other students with the teachers started returning to the classroom for the second half of the day's learning.

Two weeks had passed and Mikey and June's relationship had been the trend all that while in their class. Their love life was fire and many of their friends loved them. Some hated too but blended amidst the smiling ones. The relationship was wonderful but the most important thing was to keep it hidden from the school authorities. The authorities had never been in support of these type of relationships since day one, due to a lot of reasons.

Sometimes, students went far as to have sex in hidden places in the name of love while others would start breaking other laws in the same name of love. There was even a time a case arose about two students who took a blood oath in the name of love and now one. But one reason which a lot of people wouldn't believe was that some of the girls had already been asked out by the authorities but they refused, and so, when you have a boyfriend, you both get strategically terrorised.

June was still a student of SS1 with her sexy and well developed body, but her mind was yet to reach a certain level. A level where the male authorities would expect her to keep anything they do secret. A level where they'd make advances but she would only refuse without having to make a report against them. Or perhaps accept their proposals. Who knows?

During these two weeks the lovebirds had grown fonder of each other.

They two of them would come early to classes when no one else had arrived and they'd start discussing about a lot of things. Fortunately for them, they had a lot of things in common. Both were fan of cartoons and hip-hop. They both had the same favourite snack which was potato chips. Mike was very happy when she told him that she loved potato chips as well. He told her about what his love for potato chips almost caused him, and also how he could make potato chips similar to the industrial ones.

According to him, his cousins always laughed at the way he treated potato chips like a treasure. So, one day, he made some chips and tied them in a transparent nylon and kept them closed in his drawers. That was during the holidays and his parents would normally bring him to his maternal home to stay with his grandparents and other cousins who came back too. That was a culture to them cause the holidays gave them this opportunity to spend time with each other and together as a big family.

It was on a Sunday and Mike had fried the chips in the evening and left the house for volleyball practise. Coincidentally, one of his aunties who had a bad temper had gone out with her boyfriend the same day and came back with some goodies among which there were potato chips.

She kept them in the fridge and went to visit a friend.

When Mike had returned from volleyball practise, he went straight to his drawer and couldn't find his chips. He started asking everyone who shared the room with him and no one agreed to have seen the potato chips. But this was a gang plan. His cousins had planned to deprive him of that days potato chips cause he was acting like an addict.

They made him search throughout the house and still he couldn't find it. He kept searching till he came to where the refrigerator. He opened it up and found a carton. That was the last place it could possibly because he had finished searching every other possible place. He removed the contents of the bag and checked each one thoroughly. On touching the last content he had brought out, he found potato chips.

He was filled with so much happiness as to have found his potato, so he took it and went to his cousins. Mike brought a seat, sat before them, then gradually started eating up the chips. They were so confused as to how he could've found the potato cause they had hidden it cautiously.

Everything now seemed okay till evening, when his strict aunt returned from her friends place. She went into the room, took off her dress and came to take her goodies. When she saw them she felt like something was wrong, but she didn't want to reveal them before her nephews and nieces. She took her stuffs, went into her room, shut her door and began to empty the carton bag.

As amazing as she things could be, she had counted the items that were contained in the bag!! Her head got hot and she started thinking of what it was. She couldn't remember cause there were much things but she knew how many there where.
