Friday
I was really tired, I stayed up way too late last night! I can't wait to test out some of Wes's tips later!! Thank god it's Friday, I'm just over this week.
I had bags under my eyes, it felt like too much of a stretch to try to open them any further. Things weren't as awkward as I thought they would be, maybe she just didn't think about it as much as I did. I feel dumb. It probably wasn't even a thing, maybe I just made it all up in my head which just proves how much I like her to make up this whole 'almost kiss' thing.
Lunch:
I went and sat with my brother at his table for a little while at lunch today. sometimes it's just more fun in that world but I snap out of it quickly and realize that I'm not like them, I mean I could be but I choose not to be.
You probably wonder why. I'll tell you. When I see people like them, I don't see a lot of bright futures or dreams. They couldn't care less about their potential future, they just want to graduate and hang out and live. They don't stop to think about all the things they could be good at. I do. I really believe in myself because if I don't, who else will right? someone can't force me to have a bright future, I would like someone to but, if I did, I wouldn't end up doing something that I love.
"Hot blonde at 3:00" coughed wesley.
"I can see why you can't get her, she's so confident it's almost intimidating."
I say.
"I know right! it's ok, I like a challenge, ill get her someday!..i think."
"Try out anything so far yet?" He asked me.
"No I've been thinking about it though."
"Hmm..Try "the ego'"
"What? what's that one again?"
"It could really be anything, it's a surprise. Alright, so you think about all the things you want to do or say that you don't actually do or say to her right?"
"Of course"
"What you do is you get a thought like that, don't think about it, just say it, don't imagine doing it, just do it, then afterwards act like it wasn't a big deal at all, an change the subject. got it?"
"Yeah thanks Wes! see ya after school. Wait can I get a ride home today?"
"Yeah no problem, good luck"
"K thanks"
at my lunch table:
We all talk for a bit. Then I speak up.
"You're looking hot today Jaiden!"
"uhm...thank you Keaton."
Oh god I'm sweating so bad, I feel like someone lit me on fire, my heart is thumping so loud, I wonder if everyone can hear it, I'm paralyzed, I have butterflies, I am currently incapable of doing anything. I don't say your welcome or anything and she can't tell that I'm feeling funny. I don't even acknowledge what she said, just like Wes told me to.
"Tyler guess what"
"What"
"I got the coolest new ringtone, check it out."
I pulled out my iPhone and showed him my awesome new ringtone I downloaded yesterday.
I couldn't really tell what Jaiden was thinking, I'm sure it was good because Wes is usually right about this kind of things, I trust him and she was blushing just as hard as I was.
After school:
The bell rung and I slammed my locker shut. There stood Jaiden next to my locker.
"Hey" she said
"Hi"
"What was that all about earlier?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm sorry I have to go before Wes leaves without me."
"He'll wait for you, I promise. I mean what you said earlier to me at lunch."
"Oh that? That was nothing, it was just a compliment"
"Come on keaton, you know what I mean, that wasn't like you. That was something Wesley would say. If you like me at all then just tell me."
"Why? so you can tell me that we're always JUST going to be friends? that you like Ryan? I don't want to ruin our friendship, I know you don't like me back, I can't change that, what's the point?"
She was shocked, almost in tears.
"Can't you see that I like you Keaton?!"
"You, you do?
"Yeah"
"Really?"
"Yeah"
Wow Wesley's plan worked!! What's going to happen next?! Please vote and comment. Have a lovely day!😘
