Delilah's POV:
I have been set up with a great deal of people.
None of them worked out.
"God, why do you read so much Delilah?"
"Why don't you ever talk to me Delilah?"
"Can you pay attention to me for once Delilah?"
And if I were less introverted my responses would be:
"Because reading is fun and increases intelligence, maybe you should try it sometime."
And
"Because you're too clingy and frankly I don't like you that much."
And
"Ha. Me pay attention to you? Um... no. I'll stick with my book."
However, I don't tell people that I don't like them, I don't like causing problems like that.
I mean, yeah, I'm a little rebellious, but dying your hair and piercing your nose and shoplifting cute sunglasses every once in awhile because your broke won't make somebody commit suicide.
Telling people that they suck and that you hate them and that you would really rather read a book over again than spend time with them might make them consider it.
So I just ignore them until they say something cliché like:
"Delilah, this isn't working out."
or
"We need to talk, Delilah."
or they tell me to sit down and they look at me like they care about my feelings at all for about two seconds because they think they're about to break my heart when honestly, I've already forgotten their name and they say
"Delilah, it's not you, it's me."
Which is pretty funny because it actually is me. They are breaking up with me because it's not a relationship thanks to me. I chose to ignore their existence so it really is me.
So anyways, I decided to find this guy, Luke, and see what he's like before I end up in bed with him.
Michael was the one who was setting us up so I wasn't too worried, but I asked Michael if there was any way to contact Luke.
"He has a phone."
"Can I have his phone number?"
"No."
Ugh. All I wanted was to know that I wouldn't have to ignore a person who didn't appreciate literature for the upcoming week.
I had to figure out who Luke was..
And then I got a call from Mia.
"Sup."
"You know that guy Michael is setting you up with? Ashton said he asked if I knew you and of course he said yes because we're best friends and then they started talking about you and your favorite books and your hair color and apparently this dude is already in love with you."
"What did Ashton say my favorite book was?"
"He said you love stuff by John Green, which is true, you always have a book by him either in your hand or in your backpack or purse and you have like two copies of each of his books right? Anyways so Luke loves John Green too and he has all his books plus the Collector's Editions and Ashton says he has a shelf of John Green books and everything."
"Ask Ashton what Luke's address is."
"Stalker much? I will, one sec."
-----1 minute later-----
"K, floor 7, Room 16, 1996 July avenue."
"Thank youuuuu. Gotta go, see ya!!"
"Alright then. Byeeee."
And then I set off on a journey to July Avenue to find a boy who loves me.
Life is weird sometimes.
