I’ve always wanted to tell this story, mostly because it still feels like it didn’t really happen. It was short lived, and it sort of came out of nowhere, and it’s not talked about anymore. So as a way to relive it, here I go.
During my first year in college, I wanted to make friends. I’ve always just somehow had girlfriends, but never had that many close friends. I wasn’t shy but I was a bit introverted.
I sat next to this pretty girl in the first class I attended, Rachel. She had some pretty blonde curls that grabbed your attention, porcelain looking skin, and cute pink lips. Mostly it was the fact that she was talking to a bunch of people around her that made me notice her. I was envious of the way it seemed easy for her to socialize.
So I made an effort. In the middle of class I randomly told her exactly that. I just thought she seemed like the kind of person who wouldn’t find it weird. And she didn’t. She was a really funny girl, we joked around and she told me it wasn’t her but just every other dude around trying to get into her pants, if I could call that socializing, she said.
