I spent the next few days Skyping Wade and playing gang beasts with Felix. Even though I was feeling better, I still didn't really want to talk to Mark. I was answering everyone else's calls and texts, just not Mark's.
After a week, I was on _____ when I started talking to this girl. She was beautiful. She was funny. She was kind.
She was Signe.
When I talked to her, she took my mind off Mark. She made me laugh. She made me smile. She made me forget.
On my next Skype call with Wade, I found myself telling him about her. I could see that he was grinning.
"What?"
He just grinned.
"What?!"
Wade chuckled.
"WHAT!?"
He burst out laughing.
"Oh Jack, don't you see? You've gotten over Mark! You said you couldn't, but you have! You don't like him anymore. You like her!"
I was silent for a moment as I let this information process.
"Don't I? Do I?"
"Nope. You don't. I can tell by the way you speak about her. You definitely like her!"
"Oh." A grin started forming on my face. Then I burst out laughing.
"See?! You soooo like her!"
"Ok maybe a little. But that's ok right?" I bit my lip nervously. I hadn't liked a girl before. I didn't know what to do.
"Yeah it's great! Send me a photo of her, I really want to see what she looks like."
"Ok...but what do I do? What if she doesn't like me like Mark doesn't?!"
Wade rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Mate. By what you're telling me, I think she likes you too. Now I'm no expert on girls, but it seems kinda obvious. Just be kind to her. Be yourself....your serious self. If that's even a part of you."
Now it was my turn to roll my eyes.
"Oh ha ha ha very funny. Ok sure. I'll be serious. What else!? I've never liked a girl before..."
Wade grinned.
"Oh you are sooo gay bahaha" seeing the look on my face he quickly went on; "you know, just give her gifts and be kind to her, be there for her, and then, when the time is right, tell her how you feel!"
I sighed miserably.
"But how will I know when the time is right? Last time I thought it was I got stared at and rejected. I don't want to go through that again..."
"Don't worry. Girls are different to us. They're a whole other species."
He grinned.
"Okie I gotta go, dinner is ready. Just keep your mind off Mark."
I managed a smile.
"Don't worry. I'm pretty sure I'm good now. Thanks....again."
Wade laughed and clicked off.
