Tonight I'm trying new things. While browsing the idle isles of wal-mart earlier tonight I found some tea samples for a few dollars. This is the first time I've had hot tea since my "tea/slumber party" back in high school with some close girlfriends. This isn't why I'm here though, it's just a mere intro as to why I'm really drinking hot tea. I met a boy... Now as you may remember those four words are never good, but I really find my heart tugging in his direction. Whether it's the fact that he resembles my ex-best friend, I don't know. I've missed my friend quite terribly but I know that there's nothing more that can come out of our relationship now, but this new guy...he has
adventure and
new possibilities written all over him. He makes me feel happy inside, which I haven't felt that happy in a long time.
Quick story. It wasn't a grand gesture of kindness or anything, but after class one day this week my new friend was waiting for his next class to begin and had a waiting period of about thirty-minutes. After our class together he walked with myself and the girl who sits beside me in class out to the parking lot at school. The girl I sit with in the back row got picked up by her boyfriend within a few minutes of walking out, and so the guy from class walked with me all the way to the next parking lot. We discussed things and he asked me where I was parked, and it ended up being quite far so he offered to give me a ride to my car...but he forgot his keys in the classroom. (He was having his next class in the same classroom that we had just gotten out of.) So instead of lending me a ride he just decided to walk with me. We walked for about five minutes and talked about everything, just keeping good conversation the whole time. Once we reached my car he wished me well and told me to have a good rest of the week and began walking back towards the other way.
As I got into my car I watched him walk away and although he was tall and could walk rather briskly, it was still a bit humid outside and he had been really sweet. So as un-awkwardly as I could muster, I drove up beside him as he walked and rolled down my window and offered him a ride. He took the offer and got into the passenger seat, which was a bit too short structured for his long frame. His knees brushed the dash and his head touched the ceiling. I laughed at him and made jokes about not having tall family members and his response was, "I can tell". It didn't take nearly as long to drive back to the building as it had to walk, but he was still grateful. Again, after escaping the small chambers of my car he wished me farewell and called me friend.
I know that it sounds like nothing, or maybe something. I don't read guys very well, but I'm trying so hard not to make this into something that it's not. I've never wanted to pursue a friendship with someone so much, but I feel that it's because he reminds me of a person I used to be close friends with...almost as if being friends with this new guy would be like the old times with my old friend. It wouldn't be fair though. To expect someone to be like someone they've never even met. Or maybe they could be better than the person I once knew, and things could be better and end up becoming something amazing. This guy in my class, he's different. Not different as in personality like out of this world different, but he takes care of his looks and respects his hygiene. The boys that I have grown up around are dirty red necks with stuffed buck heads hanging in their garage. They wear cameo and work boots. I've never fit into the
style of where I live. All the girls wear shorty shorts and have long tan legs, like a girl in a country song. I'm nothing like this, what so ever, and it's led men to be un-attracted to me, but it's been a two-way street (I've been un-attracted to them as well).
So when I say that he's different...I'm talking
accent,
clothes, and
attitude. Over all he's like this sweet tall comedic British guy with great hair (on his face and head!). I just find him refreshing compared to what I normally deal with, but the trouble is that I have four more weeks of class with him, and I really want to give him my phone number( which is rare because I never give anyone my number..ever.) but I don't want to cross any lines. He's not mentioned a girlfriend from what I recall, I even thought he was gay when I first began class with him, but he's straight from what I can tell. Over all he's super cool. We talked yesterday about whiskey, and so all I've been able to think about is drinking whiskey and talking to him for hours on end for the past two days. He literally made my day better yesterday just from walking with me, because normally no one pays me any attention and could care less about it. So..this. I've been thinking about this for two days now, and finally I've said it. So there.
