This time I know exactly where to start; 24 hours ago I agreed with a friend to deliver her some papers that were in desperate need of correction, ASAP. The next morning, I wake up happy and dancing all around the apartment. I was blasting music so loud, I was sure the neighbors woke up cursing the lunatic next door playing Urban music at five in the morning. I could not care less. I was happy! I showered, had breakfast, danced, while getting dressed. I decided today was a perfect day to wear make up and contacts, and headed down to street to wait for my bus that would take me to work. I was not grumpy, I looked and felt beautiful, radiant, and most of all I was happy!
I reach work, sit at my station doing random stuff till it's around eight then I walk around and chat with my colleagues then go and meet Person. For some reason, I felt he was surprised to see me all giddy, but he would not give in and tell me, so I decided not to pressure him and let him be. Anyways, after we all head to our respective working areas, during the break I decide to head down to the cafeteria and hang around with some students and colleagues which apparently sets Person off. So, what does he do? He stamps his foot like a five year old, makes a face and disappears till the day ends. I am quiet sure he is avoiding me, and I believe he is being extremely childish over a normal, if not repetitive situation. I mean, I am a teacher, I am bound to have professional interactions with my students. Sometimes the boundaries are blurred into friendship when they confide in you something that bothers them or when you take special attention to a certain case, but that's not the norm.
The day ends; I go to my bus and I decide to ignore Person till he realizes that this is not kindergarten any more, which in return makes him even more stubborn and starts pretending that I do not exist in his life. Fine! I go and meet my friend, we sit in Starbucks for some much needed cold beverages on such a steamy hot day while listening to some desperately trying to gain attention wanna be hipsters, as if the world is not full of enough misery, yet. We have fun, get our work done and then go for fries and burgers at Macdonald's around the corner.
In general, the day was good, I met a friend, had a good time and got my work done. A perfect day. Person seems to be enjoying this, so let him have his own twisted version of fun and I will continue with my life as if nothing has ever happened.
I know I have never talked or even mentioned Person before to you, and I would hate that the first thing you ever read about him is the Rain, so here is the Rainbow:
Person is well, a person. He is very calm, charming and has his own kind of handsome. He has a twinkle in his eyes and looks like a foreign Keanu Reeves. If you have ever watched the last scene in Sweet November, you will get what I mean. Person is patient, and understanding and has unique random doses of madness that suddenly pop out of nowhere. These wild episodes are enough to make you smile, when you do not want to. He is contagious when it comes to feelings, he knows how to project them out. The most important thing about Person is the connection. He just "knows" what to say, well most of the time, to give my pretentious "misfortunes" new perspective. He is a child, a man, a brother. He is everything and anything I need. He is perfect, but childish.
That's enough for all of you now!
Peace out! H!
