Giddy

Problem #13 - Maryland Boy

Going to Sunday school, I see that there's a new guy walking to class with a couple of the other kids in my class. He seems extremely nice and sweet, but that Sunday I was a bit off and couldn't really talk to him. I still really haven't gotten the chance to actually talk to him, but I learned that his family moved just on Friday from Maryland. He hadn't gotten his schedule yet for school or anything, and I realize that I'm sitting here hoping he'll be in my Seminary class.

Just for clarification, Seminary is a class I take early in the morning before school to learn about the scriptures and other doctrine. You go to the church for this class and then to school. There are two classes you can take: the one with people specifically your age or the one with mixed ages but is earlier, for the people with an early class.

He's in my class. It's fantastic. I don't have any classes with him at school though, but I can live with it.

Today, I saw him coming into school after seminary and he smiled and said "Hi," to me! Okay, this may sound ridiculous to you and you're wondering why I'm making a big deal out of this. Well, the thing is, I most of the time have to be the one saying greeting people first, no matter what. I don't know why this is, but people will not... I don't know... acknowledge me(?) if I'm not the one initiating this passing hello. I've also just made it a personal goal of mine. But when I saw him, I smiled for just a little longer after passing him.

Actually, I'll admit it: I couldn't stop smiling. My heart was fluttering in a really pleasant way and I felt so light and airy. This is different from my normal giddiness I noticed, that's why I almost decided against writing about this little experience.

My heart kind of sank when I saw him during lunch, sitting with these girls from my church and their other friends. I was on my way to a club anyways, and I wasn't planning on ditching it to just be with him. I'm just hoping to create more opportunities in which I can get to know him.

I don't know what it is. I might have a small crush on him? Sorry to my Giddy Association, but I swear it's just a small crush. The guy I've been calling Brad is still more firm a liking, but this is just a detour. I'll name this guy Dylan.

Dylan's just a detour infatuation, a hopefully temporary thing.

So I've given it to you, then:

My thirteenth problem.
