when Life takes you by surprise? Chisom was a young innocent girl when i met her. i was attracted by her smiles. it was infectious. i tried severally to copy that smile but it doesnt suite me. soon afte, i lost touch with her. twas just yesterday, on my trip submitting CV, i bumped into her. i was overtly excited to see her. hi, i said. and she looked at me with a "do i know you stare?" "dont tell me you dont know me, i said with a rather famoliar tone and grin. ",i do. " she seems indifferent, even trying to force a smile dat wasnt sincere. i just kept asking about her well being, and she kept nodding with a fake smile. ..no response. i was kindda offended how friendship could turn sour because folks have tasted other sides of life. the infectious smiles has been virused so dat one even becomes offended at it. when i got home that evening, i felt more exhausted from the thoughts of that event. and all i could mutter was "i dont blame her". from that day, the urge to make it so bad came upon me. i met a long lost friend, whom i ve helped back in secondary school to pass exams. and yet she seem not to have cared brcause shes probably doing better, did i forget to add dat she left me there, walked down the park, opened an EOD, started and drove off without even looking back... and i just stared on.....
