Off Limits

by Cashews and Socks

Growing up, I was isolated from boys. I pretty much had my brother, my father, and older male figures. Throw in some little toddlers, and that pretty much sums up my exposure to males. Then, everything changed. Unfortunately, any boy that seemed relatively interesting to me was off limits. Infact, they still are. All I can do is dream about them, I guess.

All from Katara's POV about different guys. Enjoy!

There's this guy. Not exactly in my height range, about four or five inches height difference. He doesn't have much hair either. I have no idea what I see in him, until I look at him. He always has this goofy smile on his face, something cute or funny to say. I can't help but laugh at his ridiculous antics. It's adorable! He is a ball of energy, bouncing off the walls, making everyone smile. There are times when he seems down, but I make sure that he's cheeres up and back to his normal self.

I sometimes wonder whether or not he likes me. It's possible, but I can't really be sure. Even if he did, I would have some serious competitoin. He's a "ladies man" I guess. No, definetely a ladies man. He could getany girl he wants by the snap of his fingers. Everyone loves laughing with him and flirting with him. But there are two specific girls I'm worried about.

There is this younger girl that seems to REALLY like him. Extremely obvious. But I don't think he even noticed at first. She's about an inch or two away from his head, so how could he have seen her? She does have "stalker" tendancies, though. I see her stare at him randomly. Sometimes she hides when she sees him. But I pity the girl, she isn't all that attractive. The weird poofy hair she has to maintain? She piles on scrunchies onto her head to keep that wild mane tame. Even then, it's still a mess. I don't think she ever had a chance with him. But oh, how she tries. After a while, I think he realized she had a crush on him. She admitted it to him, (so I've heard) and he still shows no interest. But the poor girl pushes on, admiring him from afar. Imagine if I went for him! The girl would attack me!

The other girl met him at school. She talked to him in class for a bit, and they flirted. It was obvious that they liked each other. She was a cute, petite girl with straight hair. They seemed interested in each other for a time, not that I noticed. Unfortunately for the pair, one of them was in a relationship with someone else (I know what your thinking, I didn't date him). It didn't really end there, though. I don't know if her thinks of her any more, but I'm sure she thinks of him.

Just having one other human being out there liking him, it intimidates me. Because I know that he always has a different option, could always go and flirt with someone else. I'm not even sure if he's that interested in me! I mean, yeah, he looks at me alot, says my name alot. Alot of stuff, really. But I'm not even sure if I like him at all! He's attractive, and I think about him often, but I need to think about the consquences that would come if I liked him! It would be a disaster! I would stare at him a lot more, and then if he doesn't actually like me? What then? I would be completely embarassed! And if I told someone? Wait, NO. I am not telling anyone. At all. What if I stop liking him? What if I find out he doesn't like me? What if we like each other? Disaster. It would be akward, I would have a thousand girls in line to rip my throat out, poofy hair would scream at me, and the school girl would just make me feel an unbearable guilt about the whole situation.

I guess it wasn't meant to be. Oh well. I can't get him out of my mind anyway. I'll just be with him in my imagination.
