Do something you've never done before...
So I'm feeling like a bit of a creep. Please note that this is extremely out of character for me.
I am NOT a floozy. Honest.
I was trying to be spontaneous, to do something that I've never done before.
It was late.
I was hopped up on Diet Coke.
And my friend said I'd go down in history if I did it.
So naturally, I did.
At approximately 10:43 last night, my two friends and I circled the Helaman Halls dorms in my car, in search of a victim. I could have just jumped out of the car and gotten it over with like 17 times but I was so darn scared. My hands were shaking and my mouth got all dry. I kicked back some more Diet Coke and put some gum in my mouth. I had invested way too much time lurking the dorms and creeping out way too many people. I just had to do it.
And then I saw him. A lone ranger, dismounting his bike. He was young. He was awkward. He was perfect.
I jumped out of my car and ran at him full-force.
"Hey can I ask you a question?" I asked innocently.
He looked up from his bike lock, unassuming.
I grabbed his baby-face and his eyes got wide as I planted a wet one on his lips.
"Oh, hey," he said in a flustered voice.
I laughed and darted back to my car, in disbelief at what a strange, strange person I am. I'm a silly girl and I like to do crazy things. But being forward like that was super tough for me. I knew I'd never see the kid again but it still made me a nervous wreck. I learned that I'm all talk sometimes. Even though I put on this face that I don't care what people will think of me and that I'll do whatever I want, deep down I'm still that shy little girl I've always been. I'll be more open and outgoing once I'm comfortable with people but this was definitely not a comfortable situation for me.
I kissed a freshman. And he went back to locking his bike right after like it was no big deal. Man I'm a creep.
The kid had probably never kissed a girl and was saving himself and you stole that from him. That's messed up.
ReplyDeleteFor real! You took that VL status away from him. His one and only prized possesion. Pretty brave of you to do though. I bet you will be able to read about it in the Police beat section of the Daily Universe.
ReplyDeleteLike I said in my blog post, I am more afraid of kissing a complete stranger than the BYU police.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
Any RUT exercise that involves a cougar is a RUT exercise that I endorse with all of my soul.
ReplyDeleteAbby, you are currently my 2nd favorite cougar of the day (sorry, Tina Fey will forever own my heart in a locket... but 2nd place isn't half bad either).
You know his version of the story is even better:
ReplyDelete"Dude!! This super hot girl just ran up and madeout with me!... It had to have been like 10 minutes long!... Of course she gave me her number... I didn't even have to ask."
ohhh freshmen.
Wow! My new thing is so crappy now by comparison.
ReplyDeleteThis kills everyones I think. You probably changed that kids life. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSo I totally was going to do the same thing!! haha. But I have to admit choosing a freshmen made this even ten times cooler. I had a sore throat this weekend and so I chickened out, but I am so proud of you for doing this. I am sure you will be talked about by that boy for the rest of his life and for sure the highlight of his week. power to you girl. -EliseM
