Topic: I'm awkward...

It's Dave, the boy who I'd had a crush on in Gr 5 but said no to me then he had a crush on me the next year but we learned to be friends. Awkward friends...

I pretend not to see him but he recognizes me almost immediately, shouting out my name, "Ulaina!"

...

Okay, maybe he said, "Unaila!"

When I grow up I'm going to change my name to Eko :/

I cring and turn around, feigning interest in seeing him. What? I saw him the whole of last year and the year before, don't judge meh >:)

"Day-ave! How iz you?" I punch his arm hard so he could think I'm not playing and leave me alone.

He smiles, raising his blonde eyebrows.

Come to think of it, the sunlight bounces off his platinum, gorgeous blonde hair, reminding me of Elsa...

Wait, what?

No.

Kristoff.

Except he doesn't have a big nose. And he's not big. Or an ice picker. Or in love with a princess from Arendelle. Or ...

Sorry, ug, don't judge me; I love Frozen.

I smile my fake smile.

Oh no, he knows my fake smile.

I smile my real smile. He smiles back. I smile harder. I can feel my dimple pop out. He frowns, so I frown and scratch my head. He smiles and I stifle a giggle.

"Still the same as always van De Walt."

"I will always stay the same, Molefi."

Nein! You said my surname wrong! Again, I'm totally changing my surname too, to a bozo surname like, how you say, Jenkins.

Ew, no, never mind.

"So, how's life?" I ask.

"Bes, best, bestest," he replies.

What?

He flexes his one arm and my eyes almost pop out of my sockets.

From skinny shtick, to this hunky son of a-

"Gaaaaawd, David," I say as I compare my arm muscles to his, "Parktown Boys really did something for you. Shtap it, you're hypnotizing meh," I hide my face behind my hands and David laughs.
