Not Playing Along
So, back when I was a freshman in high school there was this girl named Britany (not her name) had a crush on me. She was sweet and pretty, I just wasn’t into her. Anyway, she asked me out for dinner, I said as friends, she reluctantly agreed. We talked about cartoons the whole time. Had fun as her friend.
The next day at lunch, in the cafeteria she comes up to me and asked if she could take a picture of us like a couple so her parents think we are dating. I decline on the grounds that we are just friends and that it’s very creepy.
I don’t think she heard me because he sits right next to me, points infront of me, I look up, she kisses my cheek, and I see a flash. She set this whole thing up. Side note, back then I would smile all the time, especially when nervous. And I was nervous.
Later that day,after school, while at home the phone rings, it’ her mom wanting to talk to my mom about us dating. My asks if I am dating anyone, I tell the truth, hell no. She asks about the picture, I pick up the phone and explain the whole like I’m talking to a child.
She understands, says goodbye, and hangs up. My mother calls the girl crazy and goes to the living room. All this was on Friday. That Monday I didn’t see her. Tuesday comes and goes without showing up.
Wednesday she comes up to me in first period (she’s not in that class) and says I messed it all up and should have played along. She storms out leaving myself and the entire class stunned and confused.
I haven’t seen since then. Part of me feels bad, other parts feel like I doged a crazy missle, and now most parts feel indifferent. Story credit: Reddit / [deleted]
