….
I uh..I gave Margaret the thing yesterday
Yeah? How’d it go?
Well I decided to make it personal, you know, make it about things she likes
Mm hm
I remembered some stuff about her and ended up making a gift about that. I bought.. like, a thing of roses, candies she likes and I made a card with one of those things you scan with your phone
A QR code?
Yeah, a QR code that leads to a playlist I made for her, I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend.
I’m familiar
Hah- yeah I guess I’ve been talking about her kinda a lot. I guess I also felt like I needed to do something big cause she had been more distant with me lately n’ just acting different in general.
What do you mean?
Well one of the things that drew me to her was that she wasn’t so mainstream.
Scoffs
I know, but like she was different, until she started dressing all preppy out of nowhere and she would barely smile back at me.
Hmm that’s weird
I know. anyway, I went to Norman’s where I usually see her and saw her sitting at a table. Dressed all fancy with a new phone and everything. I started to think maybe she was too good for me but I kinda already committed and the flowers and everything were pretty noticeable.
Ha- maybe she already got a new boyfriend
Bro, this is no joke. I went up to her and mentioned our little inside joke, you know, the one where I say “is there poop on my shoe?” And kick my foot up really high
I have never heard of that before that’s really weird
Ok well it’s a long story but usually I do that and she laughs, she even does it to me sometimes.
maybe you two are perfect for each other
But this time I did it and she just stared at me blankly and forced a laugh. I wanted to leave at that moment but I had the flowers in my hand and thought it might make the awkwardness better and I guess I still really liked her.
Bro, I’m sorry but you should’ve just left
It gets worse
Oh no…
I gave her this whole speech about how much our afternoons hanging out meant to me, how much I care about her and all that, and then I look over and I see Margaret walk through the door.
Hahahah oh my God there’s literally no way
I knew it was her because she was wearing the outfits I’m used to seeing her in.
There should be other ways to know, Grant. Like, you should recognize her face.
I know-
Not just her favorite band AHAHAHHA
Shut up!
AHAHAHA
So, Margaret won’t talk to me now and Amy threatened to call the cops on me for stalking her.
