Ever wondered why guys like me don't have any girlfriends? well... here's my story;
I am Drake Walker, 18 years old, music lover and a video game fanatic, I was raised in a close family oriented environment which only shows that I'm not that of a social person...
yeah.. I'm a college student, studying IT, in a very prestigious school, when suddenly, I met "her".
Monday morning, I was a bit earlier than my sched so I decided to just sit inside the room and play with my PSP, like any other day, this is just normal for me, but then... someone walks in the room, as she enters the room opening the door makes way for a warm wind breezing in, I forgot I was playing Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, that warm fuzzy feeling lingered for a few seconds not noticing I already lost consciousness in the game, seconds after that I hear her soft voice saying "aren't you gonna play? see you already lost consciousness there...". I was speechless. her beauty caught my eye...
"That's Monster Hunter right? I played that when I was in highschool, hmm, wait, you're Drake right?", God, I am so happy... I just smiled and nod... inside my brain, I was like "DUDE SERIOUSLY? YOU JUST NODDED? WTH, IS YOUR MOUTH NOT RESPONDING? YOU COULD'VE STARTED A CONVERSATION WITH HER." and I just had to agree with my brain... minutes after that, the school bell rang... my other classmates entered the classroom together with the professor, and in my mind I knew... I WASTED AN OPPORTUNITY.
No words. later that day, lunch time, she approached me, "Hey, Drake? You still playing that game?" guess what... again I just nodded. I mean my body is literally not cooperating with my brain.
"You seem like the quiet type eh?, oh, and by the way, I haven't even properly introduced my self to you... prolly the reason why you wont respond. I am June". in awe. I mustered up my courage to say "yeah."
just a single word... I am really not much of a social guy.
After what I've said, she replied "bye" as she turns away...
prolly not one of my best conversations ever.
Tuesday, same thing happened, I got in early, she goes in the classroom, but guess what, nothing. There was total silence. no words, not even a slight sound coming from her.
I wondered "what will happen if somehow I managed to start a conversation with her.", so I did. I said "You said you played Monster Hunter right?" she replied...
"Yeah, I'm sorry not in the mood to talk right now..", I knew that maybe if I'd ask her why she'll reply something like "back off" or "mind your own business" a part of me wanted to know, another part of me just don't want to push her.
Seeing that I only have one choice but to shut up, guess what, I didn't, I said "Why, is something wrong?", you know, have you ever felt like there's a heavy atmosphere around that person? well it kinda feels like that, she just smiled politely in return, it's like she's telling me "dude, you shouldn't have asked that"
All through out that day, well I kinda lost the will to ask her again, you know, maybe she doesn't want to talk about it...
It's getting late, the sunset is setting the mood, the rays that go inside the room keeps a mixture of cold and warm temperature, the professor was allowing us to do anything to pass time, so I did what I always do, I put out my PSP and played Monster Hunter...
I pushed the wrong button, and got to the online hall by mistake, but before I decided to leave, I was shocked, a feeling of excitement and surprise filled my heart, there was a player, another player... I looked around the classroom searching for that player but I didn't found anyone with a PSP in hand...
My hands become sweaty, a cold shiver ran through my spine as I return to the game, I decided to be party with the other character, A quest, it took the slaying quest, Alatreon to be exact...
As we progress, there came a point where we know the monster's in "rage mode" and seemed it was about to die, both our felyne were down and we're down to the last reward money, the other character was sharpening it's weapon and I saw the monster aiming at it, so as a Lance user I blocked the monster but, it wasn't enough, it still got through the other player... I heard a shout...
a cute voice from the front row...
I knew that voice, it was her's, she shouted "WHAT?! come on! Alatreon's about to die?! UUGGGHHH~", most of our classmates laughed... it felt like it was degrading, she looked like she was about to cry... I decided to do something. I put down my PSP and...
I stood up and shouted "I NEED TO POOP. LIKE RIGHT NOW PLEASE EXCUSE ME!"
My brain has a very beautiful way to get out of nasty situations like this, but now, MY BRAIN BETRAYED ME. I should've done something like, go there in front and held her hands and just left but I didn't...
I am now the laughingstock of the class, well like I cared anyway, probably they'll forget this incident after a week or so...
I was so embarrassed, I don't even look in her direction... God, why?... the school bell rang, it was like 7 or 7:30 pm? kinda dark outside, I arranged my stuff, put it back in my bag and decided to stay out in the court... this is my favorite time of the day, it's quiet... the sound of the birds chirping, the gentle wind caressing my face, the smell of fresh air... I liked all of it...
As I was gazing the stars, I felt someone closing in, so I do what I always do, get up and leave... before I even got up she said "Drake, thanks... I really felt like crying that time.. I appreciate it.."
I looked up and saw her face glow faint in the dark... it's mesmerizing, and the stars were just like cooperating with her beauty, I realized "DUDE, you are staring at her for about a minute now, she already said something" so as fast as I could, I replied in haste "I like-y what I seeing" F*ck. WTF.
Mind just totally abandoned me, brain just stopped functioning... but I heard her laugh, she laughed too hard that I also laughed...
She sat beside me and started to talk to me... I liked it... it gives off a relaxing feeling... before I noticed it I...
I was having a conversation with her, we talked about stuff... well mostly games... I was really amazed at the fact that she's playing games...It was getting real late, the guard even shouted at us, I was in awe of my self. This is the first time I've spent an hour with a girl, and take note, she was not even bored or disgusted at me, we even had a straight conversation....
We left the school premises, as she was about to take a taxi I just realized that I forgot to get her number, so I tried to ask, but as these words escape my mouth, it was already too late, she already took off...Again, "regrets always come last".
A week already came, but she was absent, I admit I was saddened, there came a point that I asked myself "maybe she wasn't really interested. maybe she was disappointed at me" I got worried, maybe she took other classes just to get away from me...
Friday, it was still early for my classes though, I was really losing hope of seeing her, I felt like I don't really want to go to classes today, I packed my stuff and got up, have you ever felt that you're going to regret the decision you'll make? well I was feeling it, I checked the time, it was 9:52 am, my class starts in 38 minutes, well OCD kicks in, so I waited 3 minutes more, so that I'll leave at exactly 9:55am... it was already 9:54 a minute more and I'll leave my class, but as I was about to leave the room, in the nick of time, she went in... well this made me really happy, it was like the pain in my chest was relieved, it was a warm feeling from head to toe, a mixture of intense happiness and nervousness was filling my head... as awkward as it looks I just sat next to her and decided to stay...I...
I felt ecstasy in every second of that day...
I was so silent...
It was a one-sided Silent Love...
The End.
