'beautiful stranger'
i was going to not post this, but then i realized i'm somewhat of an attention whore, and no one's
making you read this anyway.
SO, i'm walking home from a nothing special day at school, and singing gaily to myself. Then i see this figure in the distance, and the first thing I think is "ew, who needs to see any more wiggers/stoners/idiots?" It's pretty funny that i could tell this about him from a hundred meters away. Though, he was smoking too, :P.
Being the utter, hormonal, over-analyzing girl that I am, as he walks up I put on that half smile, disinterested smirk thing, all the while trying not to choke on icky cigarette fumes. He walks by, and for a split second is leaning right in my personal space, "hi," he says. I manage a pretty meek 'hello' and walk by, and then proceed to cough violently, and make chocking faces at no one in particular.
"Excuse me." I hear behind me, after a couple of seconds.
*if i ignore it, it'll go away, it *has* to*
"Excuse me!"
*crap*
So I slow down, turn around, "yeah?"
He makes a show of walking towards me (i have decided not to move for him :P) with that lilt, and the unatural "i'm cool" bounce.
"What's your name?" He asks.
*oh shit, this is creepy. he's going to rape me. ew, here? it's dirty, and i'm wearing pink! eeewww, smoke.....*
What i *actually* say is, "uhh...why's that important..?" (Can we say LAME?)
The rest is a bit of a blur because my brain was busy panicking and trying not to yell "smoking kills!!". But his name was Daniel, and he goes to B.A., and lives somewhere near me and.....well that's it.
"So can i have your number, i'd like to call you sometime.." he says
*NONONONONONONONONONONONONNONONONO*
"uhh..."
"Do you have MSN then?"
*it seems safe, and he's weirdly charismatic, and it's just an email address...*
At this point, much to my surprise, i found myself with a pen in my hand, writing an email address on his gum pack.
"So, I'll see you around," he smiles, and shakes my hand; one of those almost holding hands shakes. "I'm sorry, but you know...I just had to stop you.."
*cut to me walking home with a stupid smile on my face*
Don't be disappointed in me. I hold no unrealistic expectations. In fact, I am prepared never to hear from him. But the point is, it was fun , and sweet, and it made me giggle girlishly. And that's the point isn't it? Acknowledging the fact that one part of my personality will eternally be stamped 'Ditzy'.
