For the coincidental actions which were reactions to my juvenile heartbreaks, my mom instructed me in love to face my studies. This rings in my head everyday and I have changed. I have changed from being that emotionally volatile 7 year old or that emotionally vulnerable 13-year old. I forced myself to behave this flat throughout my SSS1 and halfway into SSS2.
Mabel, that girl that seemed my greatest competition during my primary school who also followed me to secondary school. I didn’t notice my likeness for her till the senior secondary 1. My mother’s instruction kept me mute. Also, her seeming indifference towards me and everything I represents have always been a major obstacle to my expressing my feelings to her. But she is one brilliant, reserved and beautiful 14-year old who would rather marry her seat than a gist. Everyone seems to forget about her till the prize giving day when her name will be mentioned right after mine. I have never failed to label her gestures after I receive my prize as her way of expressing her interest in me. She usually winks (or so I thought it was) at me for the last 5years after she collects her prize for second best student in the entire class. So this time around, I started to consider giving her a chance at what she had always admired or nosed.
Some weeks after the selection of prefects by the school, when she was made the senior girl and myself the senior boy, I decided to call her to solicit her optimum cooperation to make our set the best and also to plan ahead. She shunned the call. I was embarrassed but decided to keep it in. I later met her myself to ask why she did what she did and we had a major argument that resulted in my shouting her down and using my authority as the senior boy to report her to the school management for her incorporation. She was sanctioned and nearly embarrassed also so severely that she cried throughout that day. I was really sad things got that far.
The next day, I apologized and we became friends. We became really close; much more closer than I’ve ever been with any girl before. We so grew fond of each other that our set was labeled the set of couples and one of the best because we began to both see and treat our positions as that equivalent to a family. Things got rosier and rosier that I ever had to meet her mother and she mine. I started to see a future with her; something that has never happened before.

Plenty structural & grammatical blunders. For example:
...her seeming indifference towards me and everything I represents have always been a major obstacle to my expressing my feelings to her..."
The word should be 'represent' (no need for the 's').
Another example:
"...report her to the school management for her incorporation"
You meant to say 'insubordination'?
