My Motive for attending the evening mass wasn't to worship God neither was it to listen to the word. All i wanted to achieve was just to set my eyes on this girl; Kate.  

I felt guilty within because my sincere love for God was being replaced by my selfish desire.

Kate walked in after the homily, immediately i set my eyes on her my heart skipped for joy. 

I closely monitored her all through the mass. 

When it was time for the offertory, i deliberately walked past her row for her to notice my presence, she didn't stare at me but i believed she had seen me but pretended. 

Kate was having a meeting with the choir, i did not know when the meeting would be concluded but i knew it wouldn't be long because it was close to dinner time.

The mass was shorter than the previous, it was already twilight, i leaned at the entrance and i explained to Maureen that i will be waiting for Kate, Maureen agreed to wait with me. I found a way to get rid of Maureen as her presence may cause something else. 

When Kate rounded off her meeting, Maureen said her goodbye and she stayed back in the chapel to charge her phone battery. 

As Kate drew nearer my heart beat increased but i kept my cool. 

Kate: "Hi"

Me: "Hi"

Kate: "Are you waiting for someone?"

Me:   ***trembles,  nodded **  

Kate: "That must be your friend over there (she pointed to Maureen's direction) see you another time"

Me: "emm,  alright"

As Kate took few steps i grabbed her hands,  she turned back with a shocking look,  everywhere was quite and dark, i could hear Kate her heavy breath as a result of shock . Everywhere was still and dark except for the sound of crickets and few steps of people . 

Kate: "You scared the hell out of me"

Me: "I am sorry"

Kate: "Why is Maureen not with you"

Me: "It is you i was actually waiting for"

Kate: " But you said Maureen earlier"

Me: "yes, I was scared"

Kate: *** feeling guilty***** "You should have told me"

Me: "I was scared"

Kate: "of what"

Me:"You rebuking me"

Kate: "I will never do that,  have i ever rebuked you?"

Me: "At all"

We walked to the Kitchen as usual, Kate always carried her cooler to the chapel so as to get dinner afterwards

. I was surprised by that because Kate appeared extremely rich and one could say she wasn't  suppose to eat the not too tasty food prepared by the camp caterers. 

I reserved my comments concluding she was humble.

Kate came out of the kitchen carefully holding her filled cooler. 

Me: "I had wanted to tell you something when we met in the afternoon but i retracted"

Kate: "What is it all about"

Me: "The first day i set my eyes on you i was totally out of control, i felt this instant connection, i admire your personality and charisma,  you carriage is excellent and i feel a little of me is inside of you."

Kate: " but this your feeling is so sudden"

Me: "I am surprised myself, i had never had this feeling before,  it is just so real and it is burning inside of me and i am always happy being around you"

Kate: "wow,  this is interesting"

Me: "seeming"

Kate: "Are you asking me out"

Me: "At all,  all i want is just to know you"

Kate: "Hope that is all?"

Me: "All for now"

Kate: "now!"

Me: ***scared*** "that is all"

Kate remained silent, she checked her wristwatch, then thanked me for seeing her off. I also appreciated her for her time and patience. 

Me: "You are a likeable person goodnight"

Kate: "goodnight"

I expected Maureen to be somewhere around eavesdropping and appear from wherever she was hiding  as she did the last time,  but she didn't show up. 

I was happy that i had the courage to express my feeling and that i would have a point to proof to Ada that she wasn't the only beautiful girl in  camp. I felt a lot of excitement when Kate left.  I had this feeling that we would build a meaningful relationship but i was careful.

I hopped to the hostel like an Antelope in excitement like some who had just won a lottery to America. Little showers began to rain,  i had increased my pace.
