Prologue

My name is Candice and well this is my story. So today today I got a new phone and for the first time I own a phone. I just finished high school and used all life savings to get a phone. Well even with all my savings they were still not enough so I got a little bit of help from my mom. Scratch that it was actually a lot of help. My savings could barely suffice for half the cost of the phone. but don’t blame me I didn’t have much money growing up and whatever I had I used to buy some lady staff which my mom didn’t consider to be of much need . She is not bad she is just a little bit traditional.

So I got myself a nice android phone. It may not be an expensive iPhone but it was mine and I totally loved it. I honestly I couldn’t wait to start creating new friends. I never had much experience with touch screen phone since my mom just owned a featured phone and well my siblings never allowed her to touch theirs. Before I forget I am the youngest of all my siblings.

So after I am done with all my evening chores and had my supper. I lay down on my bed ready to know about my phone. By the way did I did I tell you, I milk our cows every morning and evening. And by cows I mean nine cows and also not by machine. But I guess growing up in the farm will do that to you. So I milk the cows and my mom prepares supper.

I started milking since I was nine, because my mom had a lot of trouble getting someone to help with the farm after my dad died. I hated to see her struggle so learnt farm work at a really young age. But I really enjoyed the work, actually I loved it. In the farm we have cows, sheep, chicken and we also grow crops but for just subsistence use and in case there are extras we sell them for an extra source of income. I enjoy the food here especially because I know it’s all organic. However the cows are our main source of income. We sell the milk and any other animal born male.

Any where were we? Oh! Yeah. I was trying to make myself familiar with my phone. So when I open my phone and see many apps that are already installed. Most I am familiar with. I already bought myself a line and credit which I use to buy bundles. Back here at the farm we don’t have Wi-Fi so to use the internet one has to use airtime bundles. So I scroll through my phone, there is Whatssup, Facebook, Instagram and many other apps. I decide to go through Facebook since my classmates talked about it a lot. I create my own account and some of the people I see I am familiar with since I have their contacts. However most I have no idea whatsoever who they are.

Just while am scrolling through my attention is caught by this one guy. He is wearing light blue shirt and some dark blue pants. His profile is a half portrait and therefore impossible to see the rest of his legs or shoes. But what actually caught my attention is his face. He literally is the most handsome guy I had ever seen. He is light brown with a well-proportioned face, large luminescent eyes with rounded thick eyebrows. And his lips, well they looked luscious and delicious. I scroll down hoping to see a few more photos but unfortunately he had not posted any more photos. I just stare at him for a few more seconds.

I am a person who prefers to use logic instead of emotions while making decisions. I also I never in my whole short life ever gave attention to boys. I am sixteen by the way. I skipped a few classes that’s why I finished high school quite young compared to my peers. I was always too focused on my academics to ever notice any boys. Before I forget this guy’s Facebook name is Caleb. Caleb was the first guy that I found myself ever attracted to. I send him a friend request since I don’t see any harm in doing so.

It is already late so I sleep hoping to find his response the next day when I wake up. Little did I know that this would be the start of a long journey between me and

Caleb.
