Description
I’ve never really thought about me being in a relationship. I have always been the ‘nerdy girl’ in the class. I was never wearing tons of bracelets and looking at makeup like it’s my godly source of sunshine. I was different. I loved pokeman and when I was younger I even traded some cards with the guys. I love video games, and when given the option, I will go out and have a steak, not a salad. So you could say I am a tom boy, but I am still a girl.
I was made fun of at times but I didn’t care because I had awesome friends, especially one, Alfred. We always came home and played Minecraft, and he also joked around with me and sometimes made fun of me, but I knew that in the end he was still a friend. But Alfred was a guy, and he is a good guy, so he of course, has other friends that are girls as well. I can’t say I get jealous, but I don’t really like them and how they- ok fine I am jealous.
Ever since we met we were pretty much instant friends. We bonded first over class work, then funny comments about general stuff, and then when he learned I play video games, we became awesome friends. But those ‘princesses’ take him away from me and it makes me kinda mad. He is a good and funny guy, but will he ever know I like him?
So, it’s a sprit day in school and its geo and I am having the worst time ever, but Alfred is there so it’s worthwhile. We were learning about the rock cycle when we heard the speaker go on in class, “May all students please make their way down to the gym for a spirit assembly” it was like the angels heard my prayers. No geo and a spirit assembly with Alfred, SCORE!
We made our way down and got our instructions from the teachers to go out to the field. Luck wasn’t on my side that day and it was pretty cold while I am in my t-shirt. Not a good start.
On the way out, all I was doing was chatting with Alfred about games, Halo, Assassins Creed, Minecraft, anything but the assembly, and when we had to pick partners, we stuck together. Turns out this spirit day wasn’t like the others.
Apparently, today’s spirit day was team work. And my partner was my long time crush. How was this gonna go?
First we had to build a mini castle made out of blocks, nothing for two Minecraft players, so of course we really don’t pay attention to what they say and how it ‘helps us work together better’ but what we did pay attention to was the next exercise, trust fall.
It’s not that I don’t trust him it’s that, I don’t want him holding me, I have always been pretty self-conscious about myself and I really didn’t want to do this, but I had no excuse I was going to say to him. So it looked like I was going to have to fall into his arms…yay.
Again, luck was not on my side.
For this exercise, there was not much talking between the two of us, but just preparation for what I thought was going to be a sure fall.
Preparing to land on my face, the teacher told us to fall and I close my eyes and feel support under my arms. I open my eyes and see my crush. Holding me. And I can’t get up. Wow.
Well, after that awkward encounter, we just brushed that off and continued chatting sitting on the ground.
Finally after half an hour we only have another 30 minutes to go. The problem, the cold starts to get to me. I eventually stop talking due to my teeth chattering from the cold. I sit there freezing and Alfred looked at me, and did the weirdest thing.
Alfred walked around behind me and hugged me to keep me warm.
I was silent.
But I was warmer….EEEEEPPPPP
I finally started talking again but when I did, I found myself falling over, and then another odd encounter happened as if the other one was not enough.
I found myself sitting on him. Oh why was he so awesome? It killed me that this was all a joke.
Right when I was about to ask him, the last odd encounter happened. He kissed me, well my cheek but that’s the most action I have ever gotten.
I looked him right in the eye and smiled, a genuine smile, and he smiled back. Looks like I was wrong all this time. He didn’t like the princesses that he hanged out with, he liked the girl that he could play games with and be himself, he liked the gamer girl that was there the whole time.
