As the day comes to an end rarely do you think about the future, you reflect on the past. This trip, I made myself promise when I reflect back, there would be no regrets. I was successful, but that trip I made the stupid mistake of not thinking about the future. A few of my friends decided that we would take a trip to Chicago to finish of college. Four girls, four boys, simple enough. It was known from the beginning that one of the boys liked a girl on the trip but she was in a relationship with one of his close friends so he suppressed his feeling and moved on with life. The other six people that came on this trip was free of drama, it was all about the adventure. Seeing cloud gate, walking along the lake, going to Navy Pier and just having a great time before catapulting into the real world. One of my best friends had been saying that a boy in this group and I would be cute together since sophomore year, the only problem was I didn't know who this boy was and he didn't know who I was, that is until this trip. Even so I didn't pay much attention to him or my little green friend who continuously tried to point out that he was "flirting" with her. As my best friend and my green friend continuously pointed him out, I couldn't help but take notice of him. He wasn't a flirt, he was a gentlemen, he wasn't outgoing, he knew how to entertain, he wasn't a genius, he was thoughtful and slowly he felt like the right guy. We talked throughout the trip, we had moments throughout the trip, we saw glimpse of the future throughout the trip, we all had a blast on the trip. We all made moments that haven't been told to anyone outside those eight people. He and I were the "parents" we were the mature ones taking care of others and it was refreshing to find a guy responsible enough to take care of other. During the trip feelings were pushed aside for the little green friend and honestly I wanted to spend time having a blast and not regret a moment of the trip and like I said that was my mistake. Months later as we were about to graduate, knowing that he was moving away for his job I told him, I told him words that every man and every woman is afraid to say, "I like you".
