It's a love story, part deux.

Since I'd finally developed a normal college social life, I thought it only appropriate that I have a normal college birthday party. So I did.

When John showed up with Tim, my stomach literally flip-flopped. But how would I get John to leave without Tim? I was a schemer, but this seemed an impossible task, even for me. The details have escaped me now, but I somehow accomplished the impossible.

*Bow chicka wow wow*

And all of that.

I woke up with this ridiculous smile that just wouldn't stop. It had happened! We had kissed and now Tim was in love with me and we would be married and life would be good! Oh, to be young and naive again. By 2:00 PM, I was sitting at red-headed friend's house with JOHN. Big, huge, gigantic frowny face. Surprisingly, he blurts out, "Just call him already, DUDE." And who am I to say no? So I picked up that phone and I dialed that number and I was going to be a take-charge kinda girl!

Tim: "Hello?"

Me: "Hey."

Tim: "Hey."

Me: "So."

Tim: "Uh huh?"

Me: "What...are...youupto?"

Tim: "Working."

Right. This is that weird career thing, huh?

Me: "Oh."

Tim: "Um..."

Me: "Well I just thought if you weren't busy that you might want to...maybe...come over to *red-headed friend's* house?"

Tim: "Yeah, maybe I can. I don't know."

Me: "Okay! Talk to you later!" Click.

WHOA.

I watched the clock. Intently. Like a hawk, you might say. Many, many, many (too embarrassingly many) hours later, I gave up and went home. This is the part where I'm scared to come off as cocky and PLEASE TRUST ME I'M NOT, but I thought, "Is this what it feels like to be rejected? Because OUCH, that hurts!" Now let me elaborate before you quickly unfollow my blog. I don't think I'm some hottie who can score any guy she wants by ANY MEANS. I just chose wisely, if you know what I mean. I didn't go after any guy unless I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was into me. Frankly, I didn't really go after guys much at all. I was WAY too shy for that sorta stuff!

This pretty much just solidified my obsession. He'd made it a challenge. One that I was up for!

Fast forward a few weeks. I'd heard not a peep from Tim. I'd completely distanced myself from John. I was a trainwreck. So I soaked my tears away with some weekends out of town with red-headed friend basking in Oktoberfest and a football game. Unbeknownest to me, Tim was at that football game.

To be continued...
