I Remember You

So I walked out of the office and saw this guy sitting in the lounge area. He looked like a guy I had met in college and I was debating whether I should say something or just pretend I didn’t see him. Then I realized it wasn’t him. Problem solved.

It made me wonder what happened to him; I haven’t thought about him in years. We had a speech class together and I had a crush on him. I was thrilled when he asked to get together to study. He came over to my apartment and as he was looking around he saw a picture of me and one of my best guy buddies from high school – only a few years before. He picked up the picture, looked at it and said “Wow. You were fat then.” And laughed.

And I was bigger in the picture but not by much – which made me pretty sure he still thought I was fat.

So we start studying. Only we’re not studying. I’m working and he’s distracted, inattentive and impatient - obviously wanting me to do his homework and just give him answers. And he was so dumb. I mean, I couldn’t even have a conversation with him. There was just nothing up there. Nothing.

And when I wouldn’t do the work for him he tried to charm me into it – except he wasn’t that charming.

I’m sure he flirted his way through high school but by the time he left that night, I didn’t even think he was cute anymore.

The next class I had to give my speech and he tried to make silly faces and act goofy during my presentation. I think he thought I would find it funny but really, it was just annoying. I’m not sure what I said, but I remember telling him I thought he was being immature and irritating. I think at that point he knew I was over it.

I wonder if he finished college…and how many girls it took to get him through.

*Since I called him dumb I feel the need to add a disclaimer:  I realize some (a lot) of my posts have typos and spelling errors. This is due to sloppiness, not lack of understanding basic english.  I read some of my previous post and I cringed everytime I caught a mistake.  There was a lot of cringing going on.
