Why I broke up with my first high school girlfriend:

“Owor Please help this new come to carry her things to Paradise” our Head master screamed. I ran straight to the the administration block.

Anne had reported over two weeks later than the reporting date in our senior 5

She was of a mixed race, and when I inquired she told me her grandfather was French but migrated to Uganda and married a Ugandan that’s how she got her color. Her blue eyes were a charm and her smile swept me away on the very first look.

“This is paradise, the matron will....

“..takeover from here” I said when we reached one of the girls dormitories at Creamland Campus of St. Lawrence.
“Thank you so much Paul, you are such a gentleman” she responded with a bright smile on her face and a wink
The wink made me blush and I rushed to class

After about 3 days, as I was headed for breakfast we met at the corridor. “Hey Paul, are you gonna act like you didn’t see me “ she started the conversation. Her smile doubled by her beauty were indisputable. “Please allow me to take you for breakfast” I responded with a smile

That marked the beginning of our one week friendship that turned out to be love. I still remember it like yesterday and smile; Anne noticed I was a coward(read virgin) and she actually made the move. It was lunch time and we didn’t want to eat the school meal so went to the....

..basketball court and we walked around it. “I know you like me but you are too afraid to say it Paul” she started. My heart started pumping hard and I wished the ground could swallow me. “I-I-I....D-D..” I stammered in response and before I could even finish “I like you too...

...Paul, you don’t have to lie” she continued even before I could finish my statement. I have never smiled like that day. In fact that night I didn’t sleep, I thought about Anne’s beauty, how she is sleeping and to top it all I wetted the bed! Boys know this experience!

Of course I didn’t pee in bed, I had a wet dream
From that day, we would have meals together, actually we could eat all meals on the same place. After class she would would for me at the paradise gate and we head together for dinner every single day. We became the talk of ..

...school. Everyone admired our relationship and even the teachers knew about us.
When we went for holidays we still kept our love burning and we could talk for long hours every night.
We agreed to go for Buzz Teenies awards during the holidays.

I was too excited that Saturday because I was finally going to see Anne again. It had been two weeks without meeting. By 10am I was already dressed and left home since I was coming from quiet a long distance, Entebbe and yet Anne lived near town in Naguru.

I arrived at our meetin place Garden city at midday and called Anne 3 times but she was not picking. I knew probably she was late so I took it easy. After about an hour I called again 3 times and she didn’t pick. I started getting worked up and sent her a text to call me back

Anne called me back at 6:30pm when it was only 30 minutes left to end the show we were supposed to go for. “I am so sorry my mum refused me to leave and took my phone, she has just returned it” she explained. I was so stressed and hurt but that explanation calm me down

In fact I apologized to her several times and comforted her as she sobbed on phone. She promised to make it up to me next time. That was one of my longest days. I was so stressed that I didn’t even have a meal the whole day. I rushed to the old park and grabbed a taxi

Two days later I was on phone with my buddy @edgarmak14 and he asked me why I missed Buzz. “Man I was waiting for Anne but her mother didn’t allow her to come” I explained to Edgar.
“But I saw Anne dancing with Rashida and I even said hi to them “ Edgar shocked me

I hang up the call immediately and called Anne. “ Edgar is lying, he must have seen someone who resembled me” she defended herself. I easily believed Anne more than a friend I had spent over 5 years with. I guess love made me blind and within 5 Minutes we were back to normal

During the second week of the second term, Edgar shared with me an article in Bukkede, yes Bukedde news paper! I didn’t want to stress myself reading Luganda so I first refused but Edgar insisted that I read the article and guess what I saw?

3 photos of Anne with Walukaga!!
The article was about how Walukaga went for PAM awards with a hot mzungu! The PAM awards took place the same night of the Buzz teenies awards. I was hurt not just because Anne went out with Walukaga but also because she lies about the mother

How can your mother stop you from going for a day time show but allow you to go out in the night? Why would Anne go oit with a Kadongo Kamu artist?
I was hurt beyond repair. You all know that pain of the first heartbreak. I was devastated, I felt useless and I cried all night

The following morning I met Anne at our usual meeting pointed, handed her the newspaper and left. “Paul please I can explain this” she said as she pulled me back when I wad leaving. My anger couldn’t let me stand next to Anne for another second. I walked back to boys castle.

After many failed attempts to talk to me, Anne sent a very long letter. It was on a Thursday evening during Preps. I read the letter full of lies and I burst in tears right in front of my class mates. “ I am fine guys, I just remembered my brother who passed on” I lied to mates.

It’s that time that Kenzo released one of my favorites from him “Nategedde” call me local but that song spoke what I wanted to say and reminded me of Anne that every time it played I shed a tear. It talks about everything that Anne did to me

Anne has tried to convince me to make up with her, that even two months ago when we spoke again she still said sorry for this and went on to assure me that she is ready to quit her marriage with two kids to settle with me because I am the love of her Life

Truth is also still have a fling for Anne but I can only keep her as a friend and every time she tells me sorry I still break down.

Moral of the story:
-Not all that glitters is gold
-The fact that you miss them doesn’t mean you need them.
-Date beauty, date problems
