One of the Boys

Flirting For Dummies

Haven't updated in awhile huh? Yeah there really is no excuse for it....

    "Dude we are going to the mall. Get up!" Cole shouted at me, throwing one of my shirts at me. We were going to get costumes for Halloween. We weren't trick or treating, but apparently every year, one of the dorms threw a huge costume party. And I heard that somehow this school found a way to sneak in girls in from our neighboring school, The Heart Academy for Girls. Cole said it was a great way to pick up chicks. Although after hanging Cole and the rest of the guys, it's a wonder they get any girls. 

      Cole was an uber slob and his lines as I witnessed on the plane were mediocre at best. I mean yes, I do admit that he was charming to a point, but after a couple weeks of him, he wasn't so charming.

Jeremy was a joker which usually brings girls in, but his flirting skills were way off. Last week when we went to the city fair, he tried talking to this really pretty girl, but just ended up telling 'your momma' jokes. He was a nervous flirter. Poor guy.

Nick was an athlete and pretty funny, but he was quiet around other people. Get him around us and he is the goofy sweetheart that everyone loves, but around others,he was a quiet, mysterious type. He hardly ever talked to girls and if he did it would be a few words. He had potential though.

And then Aiden didn't go for the girl type, but as far as he knew there wasn't anyone here that was gay. He always says to us that if he knew a guy was gay then he would totally go for it, but it hasn't happened yet. 

Then there was me. I was actually pretty good at what the guys would call 'flirting' but I would call talking. Just last night while walking around town before curfew, I was talking to a few girls and the guys behind me just looked at me in awe at how well I did. However they didn't know that I wasn't actually flirting and I was a girl, but let them think what they want.

On the way to the mall, we joked around and sang horribly to the tunes on the radio and by the time we parked the car in mall parking lot, Jeremy ran out of the car screaming for the voices to stop. He obviously didn't enjoy our singing.

"Do you think this dress makes me look fat?" Aiden was wearing an Elizabethan style dress and was showing off in the mirror of the Costume shop. 

"No. Is this my color?" Jeremy walked out of the dressing room wearing a cocktail dress. Boys are way girlier than I thought.

"No."

"Rude!"

"You asked."

"Well I lied, that dress does make you look fat." In girl world, you would get an eye taken out for that.

"You little-"

"Okay boys. You both look great, now simmer down. This is third and last Costume shop in this mall and I don't want to be kicked out again!" I pushed the two away from each other and went back to looking for my own costume. The boys were a lot of trouble and had gotten us kicked out of the other two shops because of their antics. I'd rather not talk about it.

"So you thinking about hooking up with a girl at the party?" Cole came up behind me and it hardly made me budge. I was used to the boys sneaking up on me as they did it almost every day.

"Probabaly not." 

"Why not? Do you have a relationship back home? I mean I see you talk to girls all the time and you never go out with them. What's the deal?" 

"I just don't want to. I just want to focus on school right now, which is why I came to this school. So I could focus on my studies and not girls" Well that just came out of my butt. I never told them why I came here as it never came up in conversation, but that was a good enough reason.
