My nerd life

part 5

I wore the black dress and before i go out, i need to do some touch ups. I just straighten my hair and my make up, a little mascara and nudelipstick. I like it natural. Honestly, there's no drastic change so my shopping yesterday with Rosie was pointless. Time check : 7.30pm.

I'm not that type of person who goes on a date. Well..... this is just a dinner together but since it's evening, it is technically a date. (in my world, it is.) I'm a shy person - im sure you can tell. And i'm starting to get worried, what if i don't have anything to talk about? I don't want to bore him. But nothing's worse compared to having a piece of meat/vegetable stuck on your teeth. And when he makes a joke, i'll be laughing and smiling and my fresh piece of meat/vege is saying hello to him! OH NO! goodluck to myself.

As soon as i've reached Central Park, i saw him sitting on a park bench. He was wearing a long sleeve jacket(not a tuxedo, this ain't prom night gurl). And a long black pants that fits him perfectly. He looked pretty nice and not so formal. But what outstands the most is his eyes. How could his eyes be sparkly at night?! We're getting closer about mere centimetres....

"Hey you look pretty", he said giving me a flirtatious smile. "Thanks, you too", i said while grinning to myself. We went to a not so fancy shmancy restaurant. But it was pretty cool i must say. The waiters put on this roller skate and skate around whilst giving people their menus. I wonder what if they skate too hard and bang on someone's table, knocking their plates off.

"I'll have a spaghetti please." landon said to the waiter and giving me a signal that its my turn to order. I was paying attention to the waiters who are skating. "oh, i'll have a salad. Thank you", I said to the waiter, looking ashamed.

"So, i can't stop thinking about you last night. There's something about you that looks so familiar to me. But i can't figure it out." landon said, making an eye contact with me.

That whole sentence made my eyes wide open. "You? Think of me? wow." I was surpised that actually came out without me stammering or stuttering.

"Yeah, why? Can't a normal person like me be thinking of you?" landon said that whilst crossing his arm.

"Nooooo, that's not what i meant. What i meant was, you're a senior and everybody knows you. I'm a nobody." I said.

The food came and we continued our conversation.

Landon was looking at me as if there is something in my teeth. oh no!!!! I quickly stopped eating and asked "Why are you looking at me weirdly?" I was quite embarrased. Somebody, help me please.

"You remind me of someone, my best friend. I really can't recall what's her name but you look exactly like her and she's shy too." landon said that. he has his hand on his chin.

"ummmm..." was all i managed to say. i immediately stopped eating my delicious salad.

"I used to have this best friend. She was very very shy. I had to try several times to try and talk to her. At last, we became best friends. It was grade 1 when i approached her, i told her that her shoe was cool. In school we are allowed to use shoe that's only black in colour. Her's was colourful, striking and sparkling. I went to her and compliment her shoe. But she just kept quiet. I tried and talk to her the next day but she didn't respond to me. But i tried once again and she managed to reply me back. And since that day, we became best friends." landon said that looking quite sad...

"What happened to her?" i was intriguied by his story.

"I had to move out to London. So i left her a piece of paper. It said 'hey. i had to move out to london. My dad has to work there and he wants us to tag along with him. I'm sorry but you'll always be my bestfriend.' But i came back here, to New York. I was hoping to find her..." Alex continues eating.

"Are you serious? I once had a bestfriend and he moved to London too! I was best friends with him since grade 1 to grade 3. And he gave me the exact same note that you had described earlier! " i said that, mouth droping, eyes popping. Not believing what i just heard.

"Do you think we could have been best friends?" his eyes lighting up.

"Maybe? we never know but i can show you the letter tomorrow." I said. And a sheepish grin was formed.

So i was quite happy that he looked at me funny not because i had a vege stucked in my teeth but actually he recognised me. I remember exactly when he left me a note. i was pretty upset he had to diverge away from me. But was he really the boy i was mentioning just now? I became oblivious and lost in my thoughts. Can today be tomorrow already? I can't wait to give him the note.

"hunny..." Landon snapped at me. "I'm sorry. yes?" i replied.

"You know Claire, don't you?" he sound monotonous. Like someone who doesn't get enough sleep.

"Yeah i do. Why are you asking?" i replied.

"She's my girl friend........." landon said that.
