i won't blog about the camp.. maybe next time.. if i feel like it that's is..
feeling pretty confused.. vexed.. emo.. fuzzy.. all screwed up in me now..
it happened.. not the way i expected.. totally hit me off guard..
it started with last night..
andre msn-ed me.. asking if i was free.. saying he wanted to have a word with me..
i dread him whenever he speaks like this.. from past experience.. it was always about her..
he asked me to promise i would speak the truth.. i did.. rather awkwardly.. then he hit me with the question.. "do you like her?" oh god.. i promised.. and i think its about time to let it out after bottling it up after 1-2months.. "yea" "seriously?" "yes.."
goodness.. he gave me advice.. saying i should talk to her.. 'cos the current state we are leaving it in is hurt both parties..
he also said we are making tongues wag with our actions together.. i know that.. but we just don't care..
the told me to talk to her.. and think about what we will do after talking..
i don't know.. really..
i have never gotten this far.. and i'm afraid..
after andre left to watch soccer.. i msn-ed her.. and ivy.. and ce.. and simon.. and alvin..
then we started the bomb game online on msn.. passing the bomb from one window to another.. then we decided to make a mass conversation.. and play the bomb game..
i'm glad i did that.. inviting 16 people in total to play.. it was total madness.. and she was really happy.. i was glad..
after getting off the computer after getting her to sleep.. i couldn't sleep.. the word's of andre keep rebounding up down and everywhere inside my mind.. i played psp in the dark.. couldn't concentrate.. stopped at 2am after my eyes got really tired..
still couldn't sleep.. took me really long..
today was tuition.. tuition was ok.. a little awkward though.. i could visualise what i wanted to do and say.. but i couldn't do it.. i'm just.. worried..
i'm worried i would scare her.. i'm worried i would cause her to shun me.. i'm worried i would lose her..
after tuition she walked me down to the bus stop.. i still managed to make it an enjoyable walk..
at the bus stop.. she hit me totally off guard..
"do you know one of my kids asked me in the camp if we were dating?" "huh.."
then.. "amanda lee and cassie.. during the camp.. say i was super obvious.." "uh huh.."
then.. i couldn't believe it.. she was the one who made the first move.. she moved closer to me and asked me.. "ok.. do you like me?" "oh god.. yea.."
then.. "i like you too.."
oh man. it totally didn't go according to what i thought.. it was like totally awkward.. and i could sense the guy also at the bus stop around 1m away from us inching away.. thanks..
then.. i told her andre was discussing with me.. and she said andre did to her too.. oh man.. andre..
then.. she asked me what i wanted to do.. i didn't know..
then i told her to go.. just in case her mother starts imagining things.. then..
just when i called home to say i'm coming back.. she called..
"ok i'm going to say this.. i totally like you and i'm crazy over you.." oh my god.. i.. i said i was too.. she was around 150m away.. stopped walking..
after some trouble.. i said see first.. and just keep it like this first until after exams.. i don't want to cause her to screw up her studies just for me..
oh god.. help me..
stenphel.. why ain't you here when i needed my best friend to talk to?
