Well as I had said earlier, today is my IBS exam, and I didn't study
squat except the Cold War. I think it would be best that I study some
more, but today I had other plans. Ok, so it's a B Day. I had to go to
school still cause I'm a bit slow at the architecture project and Sid
also needs me. So I go to class. All that time I was afraid that the
period would end, because I had a mission to do, and I intended to
carry it out. Well after arch Sid and I made our way out. As we walked
down the hall, I saw her...She had just exited the restroom and had left
the building. I wanted to call her and ask her then and now, but I was
afraid and I chickened out, not to mention Sid was there. I suppose I
was just too shocked to tell her, or protrude my voice. I started to
get upset with myself, and we continued to make our way to the library.
All that time at break I was sitting there feeling confused not knowing
what I should do exactly. Kwok was actually doing some bio work and said
that he didn't study for the IB exam either. Ed on the other hand was
suppose to have Chinese, but says that they are doing a project, so he
takes it as a free. So it was Kwok, Ed, and I. I know Yasu should be
here, but he was in the Physics room mong studying for his AP Phycis,
which is tomorrow. As we sat there, I felt so bored, and I needed to do
something. As I had said before I expected to see her walk into the
library, but that never happened. I then asked the guys if they wanted
to go to the cafe and get some food. Ed agreed, but Kwok said to wait
since he was doing bio. We ignored him and went to the cafe. Actually
I was thinking I'd see her in the cafe, but no such luck. In fact I think
I saw Allen instead, her bro. So all that time as Ed munched on his
doughnut and shaked his Sprite he kept talking and all I did was nod
and say few words. I was thinking about her and wondering what I
should do. We then made our way back to the library and sure enough
Kwok was still working on bio. Ed then took out a comic and started
to read. It was so boring and I asked the guys if they wanted to go
out or something. Ed didn't want too, cause he wanted to read his
comics. Kwok said sure, but after he turn in his lab. So we went to
the 1st floor. I went to look for Yasu, and sure enough he was
studying. Kwok and I then sperated. I decided to make way back for the
arch room, cause I thought she had Academic Support, and I wanted to
look thru the window, but no such luck. I went back to the library
and sure enough Ed was still reading. I asked where was Kwok and he
said he was out to find me. Kwok then returned. I then saw her once
again. She came up from the second floor AV viewing area with a
friend, and my heart raced. I told Ed that she was here and should I
ask. He had this confused look and I told him about the date thing, and
he understood. Kwok also found out and I asked should I do it. Well Ed put
down his comic and him and Kwok raced to the second floor of the library
cause that's where she went. I then ran to the restroom cause I was
nervous as hell. I then took a deep breathe and went to the 2nd floor of
the library and say that Ed and Kwok were there. Ed showed me where she
sat and it seems that she was surrounded by some ppl. We then walked into
the aisles and started to talk. I was so scared. Scared more than anything.
Well we wasted a lot of time just walking around and doing some spy work.
They kept giving me some tips and told me what I should do. Finally Ed said
that if I had to do it, I must, otherwise we wasted a lot of time. It was l
ike around 10:45AM or something, and I got scared cause time was running
out. At first I thought she was with her friend, and all of a sudden a guy came,
and after thinking it over another guy comes. My friends were like I better
make a move or more guys keep coming. What I was afraid was that one of the
guys was her b/f so it would be humiliating. Yet I kept wondering how should
I approach. I wanted my friends next to me, but they said it was time for me
to go alone. It was like a scene from some movie. They were like the Jedi
Masters and they told me to go my own path. Anyways they first left to get
positions near the girl, so they could hear what I said. I waited thinking
if I should do it, my heart was beating faster. I then decided it was now or
never. So I made my walk, it was the scariest thing I done everything felt fuzzy.
I then got near to the girl, and saw that my friends were in position. I then
bent down a bit and said:
"Can I have a minute of your time? Sorry I know this might sound odd, strange or
even abrupt, but would you want to go to the Prom with me?"
Well she was staring at me like I was some sort of freak, she was like smiling
actually. I continued:
"I know it sounds weird but I had to get it off of my chest. Over the last
weekend I couldn't stop thinking about you and I had to let it out. I mean I
should've been studying for an IB exam I'm taking later today."
Still she was a bit hesitant, like she never said a single word, only
like "uh----" Her friend sitting next to her on the other hand was like
"go to the prom with him, or say yes". Well it was strange cause I kept
looking into those eyes of hers and just made me feel like you know, it was
amazing, although she said nothing. I continued:
"If you're going to reject me it's like ok, cause I'm use to it, I'm a
senior and I got rejected by quite a few colleges, so I know the feeling."
Still she didn't answer. Kept staring at me, it was funny, it was like what
I expected. At the end I said:
"It's ok you don't have to answer now, you could think about it."
I then walked away and my friends later followed suit. I was glad it was over,
so scary. Still see the missing part? Out of all that time I never told
her my name or how to contact me, so I failed a bit, but I was like feeling
like top of the world. I was literally so happy. I kept talking to my friends
about my performance and stuff. It's just wow, and I'm glad I decided to do
that. I would want to know how someone else felt about me. I mean I'm
going to college, and I always looked at that girl ever since I saw her when
she was a freshman, so I'd rather ask her and get rejected then die never
knowing the answer. It's that dramatic for me, and I'm glad the experience
was over. Only problem is how will I know the answer. For all I know
she'll try to avoid me, but her friend was more of a definite type.
O well. That was my amazing adventure and my friends were able to see it.
Ed later told me that I shouldn't have told her about me and getting rejected
a lot by colleges. I thought it was a bit stupid too now I thought over it.
We went to eat at McDonald's and all the way Kwok and Ed kept praising me
for my courage, bravery and all that. They said I had guts. I kept
talking too, I was like so happy. And at McDonald's I was so happy I even
ate slower than Ed, and we made a remark about that too. After lunch
we went back to school cause Ed had class. We saw that Yasu was still
there copying down physics stuff. Anyways Kwok and I went back to the
library, for the exam time was creeping closer and I knew now I had
a chance to make an attempt to study. This is is more about my quest,
I won't say much about the IB Exam. All I can say is that I'm so
lucky, cause many of the questions I did were closely related to
the Cold War and Korean War. At the end of the exam my thumb was red
once again. I was just happy that my long day was over.
