Note: Some of the information may be a wee bit unmatched to your version of the story. You know, in case you know me. ;) okay
Since freshman year, I have had this crush on a guy named Nick (not his real name). That came out well and straightforward. Anyways, things were stable between us back then, you know, casual convos, exchange of greetings and nods here and there. Until one day, I wake up to find that the entire batch knows about my insane crush on Nick, including him. It was awful. I only told a few people about it and I was cool with it. That is until the unexpected tell-all happened. Our casual whatever just got burned at the stake. With nothing left. Stupid rumors.
Meanwhile, here I am four years later, still utterly ignoring and ignored by him. We aren't really on speaking terms for the past years. We just talk when the situation demands it. And it sucked.
All those years, I tried to forget about him and just about this crush. I had to tell myself that this was just a crush. It'll pass, like they always do. But expectations were far from reality. And the reality was, was that it didn't.
But I did try to keep it on low-profile. You know, keep to myself and everything. And I have told everyone that I was over it, and that it was cool. Which, I think they buy. Well, some of them that is. But whatever, things were about to change when we reach sophomore year.
We were sophomores, and freshmen were invading the school, swarms of them, of the different variety. But one certain variety caught the eye of Nick. She was the perfect match for him. And her name was Sophie (not her real name). It bummed me somehow that someone could actually find their match made in heaven. And I guess it stung, a little. But, I guess the least I could do was to be happy for him. Be happy for them.
That is until I find that Sophie had had a lot of guys stringing along. It was like every guy in the school wanted to be close to her. And wanted her for themselves. One of them was Nick. And he wasn't getting any special treatment. It was his best friend, Ian (not his real name) however, whose future with the S-chick seemed brightest. She was into Ian, and I know this because during that time, everyone seemed to be checking for updates about Sophie's love life. Girls were clinging to their guys, tight. Anyway, back to the Ian story. I had to admit, they were a better match. Whoops.
But there was one teenie-tiny problem. Ian was taken. You read it right, he had a girlfriend. And it was major buzzkill to Sophie. It wasn't cool. Ian then wanted to break up with his gf to be with Sophie, but then things got complicated, and soon enough, Sophie just got tired if waiting for things to iron out between her and Ian. And Ian was just messed up.
So, it was time for the Nickster to play dirty. Well, figuratively. And not dirty. Oh darn, scratch that. It was time for Nick to make his move. And like bestfriends do, Ian actually helped him win the girl, and beofre you know it, Nick and Sophie became the campus couple or something. People were practically worshiping them and their perfect relationship.
Okay, maybe that came out a little mean. But it was true. The only thing lacking was for them to videotape everything they did and turn their lives into a reality TV show and let everyone spy on them on television. JK
You're probably wondering. What happened to me?
Well, there I was. Drowning in self-pity. NOT. Okay, maybe I was a little bit 'hurt' about all that had transpired. But what was I supposed to do? The universe was in their favor. What's meant to be was meant t o be. No more, no less. But I still had something against Sophie that time. I didn't know the girl.
But that summer, I made an impulse decision. To get to know her, I had to talk to her, and what was the best way to sound nice without having to make an effort to look nice and I guess, be nice, to someone than to text them. That way, I couldn't be as repulsive as I was when I saw her in person. Because in truth, I disliked the girl. I admit it.
And I realize it was stupid. Because after text after text, I finally see that she's fine. She's a good girl. And she's perfect. Pffft
Well anyway, junior year wasn't all bad either. There were some notable notes on the Nick and Sophie department, though.
Exhibit A. Prom
During which event, Nick arrived fashionably late thanks to some fashion emergency a few miles away from the venue. And during which event, Sophie was picked to be an usherette. No surprise there. Anyway, the real thing, is that every body and I mean everybody expected to see them dance or show 'em some PDA or something. But no, as I dance with random guys from my class, I always take a sneaky glance at them. Creepy, I know. But I wanted to be in-the-radar for anything. Like everyone else, I had expectations. But that night, everyone didn't have much to say. There was no dancing, no public display, no anything. No matter how much each of their BFF's forced them to dance, the look on their faces seemed to contradict. Nick was just pissed, his expression a little unreadable, but it was evident he was annoyed and irritated by all the pushing. And Sophie, well she was plain sad.
At the end of that night, all I could think about was: What the hell was going on?
Exhibit B. Unusual Decline in SNS Activity
Well, I don't want to make further note on this one. But you get the picture.
But then I realize it wasn't a picture at all. It was a puzzle. A three-piece puzzle, and Nick and Sophie were just 2/3 of the whole equation. Meet then freshman Valerie. Yeah, she was pretty. enough said. Nick liked pretty girls. Nothing else mattered. Big whoop.
So, then senior year comes along, and the whole Nick and Sophie relationship has totally gone overboard. Their ship was sinking. Or so I heard. Turns out things weren't going good between the two of them, and they decided to just part. But the feelings are still there though. Or so they tell me.
But is Nick ready to fill in another space? Turns out people are saying he likes Valerie now. No surprise there again. But, what is up with all this? Confusing much? I am so not following. But it was fun keeping track unintentionally.
So what do you think? Because I have no idea..
x's and o's,
