those unforgettable moments...

so there we were -
me
and the boy i'd been sitting next to all semester.

he's a super nerd,
but really nice.
and a good-looking guy.

i thought,
"he's pretty cool. we should go out. we’d have fun."
but i listened to greg
and waited.

“if a guy is really into you – no matter how shy –

he will ask you out!”

i trust my own innate hotness enough to believe that’s true. :)

so, i didn’t ask him out

(or try to GET him to ask me out)

and never worried about it again.

then came the last day of the semester.

the day when, traditionally,
if someone is going to solidify a friendship outside of school,
they do so.
because...
well,
they have to.

nerd-boy isn't on facebook,
we were never in the same presentation group,

no phone numbers or emails had been shared.
however we DID sit next to each other,
twice a week,
all semester,
making funny comments during class
sharing notes

or writing on each other's notes

- totally being friends -
i figured we could easily fix this
and transition past the classroom.

the bell rings!…
we stand up!...
he had hidden my backpack under his chair
and i had to steal it back.
we fought it out as our classmates packed up their things...

it was magical.

then there,

pinned in the middle of the row,
with the laughter of our banter fresh on his face,
he looked deep into my eyes
and said,

'well, i guess i'll never see any of you guys again! later!!!"

and left.

o greg! thank you for NOT allowing me to waste my precious time on someone who was never actually into me!
