There is this guy in my class at uni, something always felt wrong about him. He’d say the stupidest things on earth during classes and his laugh made me want to slap him until he’d shut up. One day at a party he asked me out and I told him that I’d rather swim naked in the Gange than go out with him. We had a work project together and he was so dumb when we were working, that I had to do it all. He lost notes for an entire section of our paper and I told him to get lost with his stupid face. I had to work all-nighter to make up for his mistakes. My friends would make snarky comments about him and I find it amusing. It wasn’t exactly bullying but it was clear that we really despise him.
This was a few months ago and last night I was at a party for university students. Because Reddit told me to, I sent a text to that guy and asked him if he’d be here. I think he was surprised that I’d ever text him but he told me that yes, he’d be here.
