I wish that I wasn't such an awkward little turd. I freeze under pressure which is weird because everyone else in my family are totally extroverted. That reminds me, I haven't formally introduced myself to all you readers at home.
My name is Hayden Washington, I'm 25 years old and I live in Cincinnati, Ohio with my parents while we fix up my apartment. I have three puppies at home: Lucky, Casey, and Barkimedes. (Guess which one I named.) I have two older brothers named James and Charles, twins by the way. My mother is full Korean (just like momiplier), and my father is half Irish and half French. Um..what else? Oh yeah, I got into a nerd battle with Mark Fischbach otherwise known as Markiplier. Anyway back into the action.
I really hope he didn't see my shirt. And that I didn't freeze long enough for him to notice. "I will definitely text you later." I choked out. Go me.
"You better, I'll be waiting." He winked and left with-- holy shit that was Wade. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE? Okay, not important, what was important then and there was how I was going to deal with a very furious Jacob.
"Really Hayden? Really? I leave for 5 minutes and you have guys crawling all over you!" He was so pissed.
"Okay first, guy. Singular. One. Second, he was not crawling all over me! You don't have to look after me I'm not 16 anymore." I scoffed.
We met when we were 16. I was getting harassed by a bunch of asshole jocks being asked to lift up my shirt. Cliché, I know, but Jacob told them to back up and he got beat the fuck up. In which case I brought him home and cleaned up the blood and best friends ever since. For me the relationship was platonic, not as much for him though.
"I can't believe you. Let's just go." He walked off and I followed far behind him. He drove me home and we said good night.
I thought about texting Mark, but it seemed too early, and that of push it off until later tonight.
We had chicken and dumplings for dinner, courtesy of my mom even though she insists dad made it. I showered to procrastinate texting him. My phone binged with a message.
From Jacob:
'I'm sorry'
Me:
'Don't be, it's in the past.'
From Jacob:
'You're the best.'
And I left it at that. I didn't want to say anything more in case he said something in that would make it awkward between us.
I finally decided to text Mark:
Me:
'Your contact name is a lie.'
I waited a few minutes before my phone chimed again.
From Nerdiest Nerd to ever Nerd:
'What would you like to change it to then?'
Me:
'How about your name?'
Him:
'And I need yours.'
Me:
'Hayden. Hayden motherfucking Washington.'
Him:
'Ha, you could just leave mine.'
Smart decision on his part, not to give up the name in case I decide to internet stalk him.
Me:
'I'm changing it to mystery manly man.'
Him:
'Sounds good to me.'
The conversation went on and I quote unquote learned that he's a gamer. I asked him what he did for a living.
Him:
'Oh I get by.'
Me:
'Oh no, you're a prostitute aren't you?'
Him:
'Whaaat...no.....also I charge $150 an hour and you're almost up to $450.'
Me:
'Has it been 3 hours already?'
Him:
'Yep, but don't you dare go to sleep on me. I want to talk some more.'
Me:
'Talk about what?'
Him:
'Well what do you do?'
Me:
'Don't laugh...'
Him:
'Are you a prostitute too?'
Me:
'No, dummy, I work for IGN...'
Him:
'DORITOS MOUNTAIN DEW IGN MLG PRO.'
'Sorry I had to.'
Me:
'Everyone does.'
Him:
'I'd like to meet up again, how does tomorrow sound?'
Me:
'Sounds lovely. Well as long as it's not in an abandoned warehouse.'
Him:
'Well shoot, there goes my meeting spot.'
'How about Eden Park? At 11 o'clock?'
Me:
'Sounds like a date'
'Oh shoot'
'I hope you know I mean like-- and not--- oh god I made this weird didn't I?'
Him:
'...I'll see you tomorrow.'
'Good night cupcake.'
Cupcake? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Me:
'Good night mystery man.'
I plug my phone in and fall into a deep slumber.
