Bible study at Kampala Pentecostal church was coveted. I sat
on the last pew in the lower right section of the balcony near the door - my
favorite spot. I could easily slip out and run home when it got late. He liked
to sit around the same area and from time to time we would talk or smile at each
other. We came in school uniform. I didn’t know we stood out until my sister approached
me with concern. A friend of hers had noted us and proceeded to tell my sister
that I was playing with a boy in church. I learned that people are always
watching. I also learned that adulting comes with challenges and responsibilities,
one begins to view situations through one’s own lens.
