Here I am again in my favorite room, in the whole dorm besides my dorm room of course, the dorm lounge/computer room as I usually am with nothing special to do and then you walk in. At first I don't realize you're there, too consumed in my book, before you call out my name. This was like our maybe fifth time interacting since we've first met a week ago. It surprises me that you want to talk with me seeing as when we did talk I was barely vocal usually responding to you with short one or two word answers much like I did with everyone. That's just who I am and most everyone gives up trying to be my friend after two or three encounters. But nope you were different you didn't give up and it seems like you're seeking my attention. Intrigued by your persistence I amazingly find myself willingly putting away my book and attempting to be social today. You smile widely seeing that I'm not ignoring you, but rather actually showing interest in you. We begin talking about dresses with the two girls who had walked in when I was putting my book away. Discussing dresses is not my cup of tea so I don't contribute much unless you ask my opinion on a few styles. I begin to get bored with just looking at dresses so I start to point to random dresses and then picking who I think would best suit it and explaining why. After doing this for five dresses or so I finally notice you all are quietly sitting there staring at me in awe and confusion. I know it may not seem like I'm into fashion given my own choice of clothing to wear, but I can't help that I like my skinny jeans and plaid. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate people looking good and knowing exactly what that would be. The surprise finally fades away and now everyone is now asking my opinion on particular dresses they like and how I think it would look on a while talking about dresses finally comes to an end when the two girls take their leave saying they need to prepare things for valentines. I had forgotten about the holiday because I don't celebrate it, but I ask you what you have planned since you looked like the type that loved things. Your eyes shine when you hear me ask of your plans, but then it disappears a second later as you explain that you don't know what to do. I offer to help you with your predicament and you look surprised by this. You laugh and tease me saying that you can't imagine me being romantic. I would normally get mad if anyone else had said that to me, but with you I just don't get that urge. So I just laugh with you and try to defend my statement saying "I never mentioned being romantic just that I'd help." As our laughter dies down you begin to ramble off ideas which I shoot down one after another seeing as all of them are typical and nothing really special. You soon give up and I feel bad because you look frustrated and sad. Not really wanting to show this side of myself since I already revealed so much earlier I hesitantly give you an idea that I've had since we first started this discussion. When I finish explaining what to do I look at you and I swear it looked like your eyes might just pop out of your head but then you flash me one of the brightest smiles I've ever seen. No with the idea all set for tomorrow we get up to head for bed. Before we walk our separate ways you flash me your smile once more as you gather me into your arms. I don't usually like physical contact, but I feel myself relax into your embrace and feel a bit empty when you release me seconds later. I don't know what's going on with me, but I feel extremely happy to have someone around I could now call a friend.
