hey ghost
It's been about a week. No progresses were made until today. And oh boy, do I have some tea!
One of my friends, Kate, told me about a conversation she overheard in class.
Apparently last year Mark said some pretty suggestive stuff to another one of our classmates, Josh, who is openly gay and a cutie-pie. More recently, Josh got a dick pic from Mark and was asked to send a picture of his butt. Since Josh didn't trust him, he sent him a picture he found on google and pretended it was him.
Mark showed that picture to some of his friends and told him it was Josh's. Josh felt the need to explain and come clean saying he found the picture on google. Mark said he did the same with the dick pic he sent and told Josh the exact words he googled. The thing is, later that day Josh went looking for that dick pic and he didn't find it. He thinks Mark's lying.
So now I'm like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON! Turns out Mark is gay??? Then why did he ask me out?
Right after hearing about all of that, it was time to head to the station so that's where I was going when Tim showed up beside me, this time he was alone. We talked for a couple of minutes until...
"So what do you think about Mark? Are you interested in him?" He asked me. BITCH WHAT THE FUCK. I had literally just found out Mark might be gay and he was asking me about him?
"Why? Did he tell you to ask me that? Are you going to report this whole conversation back to him?" Okay so maybe I sound a little paranoid but I was suspicious.
"No, he didn't tell me to do anything." He tried to assure me but I didn't really believe him.
"Then why are you asking? Is he interested in me?" I took a good look at him so he knew I was serious.
"Do you want me to be honest?" He was staring straight ahead, not looking at me.
"Yes, please!" Honesty was really all I wanted.
"I think this is all a joke to him." This time he looked at me and it was like my heart stopped. So I actually was being played. Holy cow! Thank god I didn't go out with him or anything like that. "He asked you out to spite me." He continued.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I mentioned a few weeks ago that I found you interesting and that I wanted to get to know you more", he looked at me again to see my reaction, "and then he asked you out just to get under my skin."
That's shocking. I was expecting anything else but that. Tim never showed any interest in me whatsoever. He didn't even talk to me! He was still looking at me and I realized I had yet to speak.
"Yeah, that's why I didn't say yes. I was afraid he was just mocking me." I decided to play it cool and not mentioned the other half of what he had just told me.
"Yeah and also, I think Mark is gay", he didn't mention the other part of the conversation, thankfully. We talked about Mark and Josh for another minute or so.
"Well, do you wanna hang out sometime?" We were arriving to the station when he changed the subject.
"Is this a joke too?" I didn't know what to think.
"No", his answer was simple. Why would I believe him though? I had no reason to trust him but maybe he really does want to get to know me. I'm not sure about anything. So I told him just that.
"I don't know", I didn't look directly at him, suddenly too nervous to do it.
I probably should've been looking because next thing I knew he was kissing my cheeks (a common greeting here in Portugal) and walking away. I stared at his back dumbfounded.
What the hell just happened?
until next time,
mars
