Week 29

       Who knew I would get this far? Yesterday 2 girls, now 3, you heard me right, 3. I can't believe it either. This week has been nothing but social interactions, now that's awesome. I think this is the most conversations I've had in one week.

        Today was justifying that. Last night I was talking with that one girl, Em, you know, that one girl who is sorta into that whole "scene" and "punk" thing. I don't want to offend her or anything. Anyways, she posted a whole bunch of statuses talking about how she's feeling and everything, including how her boyfriend cheated on her (no surprise there). Turns out she's a really interesting person and I mean interesting in a good way. So she said that she was gonna visit school early in the morning and after school to meet up with old school friends again (since she's being home-schooled now).

        So today I woke up early so I could get the chance to meet her ('cause you know, I'm all about that social interaction now). I sat at the building where her friends hang out at and waited. About 5 minutes until the bell rings to get to class and still no sign of her. Suddenly, I see a couple of her friends walking from the building, with a very familiar person with them. I noticed her 'cause of her hair, and she has some nice hair.

        I jumped off the bench (literally) and approached her, using my now cliche question "Hey, you're Em, right?" Now, I was thinking about this situation (if it were to happen) during the car ride to school. I was thinking about a hug that would occur, and what do you know? She hugged me. She was like "This is guy I met online!" Not exactly what I was expecting when she was introducing me to her friends, but hey, it's literal. We walked to my first period class and we talked about .. I don't know. Lots of random topics were discussed. She said she lived right across from the school so I was thinking maybe I could hang out at her house sometime or something.

       That was a lot of excitement for me, especially in the morning. After 2nd period (Biology), I went to go put my textbook away in my locker. I was hoping Ct would be there (the girl who stands in front of my locker) and what do you know? She was. I said a casual "Hey Ct" and she was like "Hi". Remember, always look in the eyes.

        Things settled down and it wasn't until after 6th period that I knew that this is my best week so far in high school. I exited the classroom, timing it at the same time Tn would leave. I was expecting to say hi to her, but instead she started the conversation so I was thinking "Oh. You're, you're making this too easy for me." Not to sound confident or anything, I just thought that I was supposed the initiate the conversation. Anyways, she started by saying "*Sigh* So much work." I agreed with her and started talking about how our teacher was giving us so much work.

        After there wasn't much else to discuss about the class, I asked her "So what are you gonna do for the weekend?" because Fridays make it easy for you to ask people what they're gonna do for the weekend (and provide a topic to talk about). She responded "Who? Me?" And I was like "Mhmm" while in my mind I was just thinking "Who the hell do you think I'm talking to you little sh- I mean Yes, you are who I am speaking to." Haha, I'm just kidding. 'Course it did surprise that she did say that, I mean, no one has ever said those words to me before in that exact order, "Who? Me?"

        Like, of course I'm interested in what you're doing. Hello? I have a crush on you. I wish I could wear a sign that says that but at the same time I don't. Continuing on, she said that she was attending a funeral for the weekend. Pretty spontaneous (I learned a new word today) and not what I was expecting. We discussed a bit about funerals and Asian families and made a bit of a joke about it. We said "Bye" and that was it.

        This week has been the most social interactions I have ever done in one week. I said Hi like, 5 times or so. That's a lot for me actually. I feel, a bit more "alive" if that's what'd you call it. A more positive outlook on my future maybe. I'll always remember this week, where I actually put in effort in my sociability. Who knew I'd get this far? See you tomorrow.
