Waterfalls

05... Professional Klutz

He hands me my books and I take them and turn to leave

 "wait" I hear Noah say and stop and turn round. "I wanted to ask If you could direct me to the boys' dorm, I don't really know my way around here so would you help me?"

How can I say no? I mean, a part of me wants to tell him to ask another one of his gender to avoid embarrassing myself, but the nicer side of me said the unsayable...

"why not? In fact, let me walk you there" what did I just say? How can my body just say that without agreeing with me?

"Great! Which way do we go?"

"okay, follow me"

Don't make this awkward.

Don't make this awkward.

Don't make this awkward.

"So...what kind of student are you?"

I made this awkward.

"huh?"

"sorry... I mean Sciences, Arts, or Social Science?"

Way to not make things weird girl K

We took a turn to the left.

"social sciences"

"what do you want to study in future?"

"um... economics"

I hope he doesn't ask about me.

"so, what about you?"

Great.

What do I say. I mean, I can't just blab how my life is and how socially awkward I am, but then I guess he already knows so...

"It's kinda complicated. You see, I am a science student, to study Medicine, but I want to be a musician."

It's true. Don't judge me.

If my music career doesn't work out, I can still be a doctor.

Now, I am sure he'll never want to talk to me again.

I think I should just walk away.

As I turned to walk away, he held my shoulder.

With the corner of my eye, I saw Ace, but I ignored it a looked at Noah.

"just two things. Firstly, why do want to be a musician/doctor?"

"I don't know, music helps me reason and I just want to help people. Seeing them in need just drives me crazy, especially when there are people out there that could help them but don't want to."

That was the lamest thing I have ever heard, but it was the truth. If there's one thing I am good at, it is standing up for what I believe in. that's why I am the best in debate in my class.

"that's nice"

I'm sorry... WHAT???!!!

"wait... what is the second thing you wanted to tell me?"

"oh yeah... you still haven't showed me the boys' dorm"

I am such a chicken.

I totally forgot that I was showing him where to go, and I almost left. I am the worst guide ever.

Although, we were almost there. I could even see it from here.

"It's over there." I said pointing at the dorm.

"you mean, over the field?"

"yeah. After the field, girls can't pass so I can't really be of much help to you now."

"bye, it's nice getting to know you a little"

"umm... okay... bye"

Phew. I am so glad that is all over. I was afraid that I'd just embarrass myself; because I am a professional klutz.
