I saw Noora sitting on the bench with her friend Eva listening to music with her ear buds as I was walking up to make a move on her. The closer I got I could hear Noora singing to Eva playfully while she giggled. She looked up to see me standing behind her. Slightly flustered Noora took her phone back.
I sat down next to her, smiled, and said
"Justin Bieber? Cool.."
It was cute watching Noora trying to casually play it off
"It's not something I listen to, bit eh...It was because eh...Whatever. O don't need to explain myself to you anyway."
She looked away then back at me and said
"Is thete something? Something you wan't?"
I looked at her and asked
"Will you come home with me to do homework?"
She laughed and said
"Excuse me, Wilhelm."
"William" I corrected. Did she really not know who I was or was she clearly messing with me.
"That pretty much answers the question, don't you think?" continued Noora
"What?" I replied
"I don't even know your name."
How could she not know who I was I wondered
"Call me what you want."
"Yeah but then...Then I choose to call you asshole."
Funny. I should have known that statement would bring a sassy comeback.
"You think it was funny?" she asked
"Are you coming?"
She sighed
"I thought I answered quite clearly, but...No."
She was playing a lot harder to get then I expected but I wasn't going to give up so easily. I got up and started to walk to my car. I turned around and said
"Let me know when you change your mind."
as I was turning back into the direction of my car she commented back
"Go home and wait for it."
I grabbed the small piece of paper off my windshield before slipping into my car driving away. I'm just gonna have to try a different tactic next time.
