Oh my goodness! I love you! You made me so happy today! I mean, you also scared the bejesus out of me, but still, HAPPINESS!!!
So, I woke up late, got stuck in a ditch and then barely made it to the van to go to my FCCLA thing today. We also went to the Broncos parade. It was pretty fun. Then we got to school and the game and when I first saw you, I told you about my morning experience and you smiled a bit.
Then after playing (and sucking terribly) I won the game 5-4 instead of going into overtime because of my made free throw. I missed the first one, and you said it probably didn’t have enough arch. The second one I swooshed though; so that was good.
After the JV game, you were taking to someone and I am so so sorry I was so rude and I am sorry. I wanted to ask you to do me a favor, but then I saw that I made you mad at me. And that made me feel worse. And then in the locker room when I tried to fist pump Coach and you literally “pushed” me to the door. And by “push” I mean you applied pressure to my back for less than a second and I got the message just to move on. (Just a reminder, you had been pretty distant the whole "night" anyways... It scared me honestly...)
Then, I tried to make things better, but I thought I could only make them worse. I looked up at the clock and saw that it was one minute 11 seconds. I looked at you and I said "look at that". I pointed to it and you said "yeah that’s a minute 11". And I said "isn’t that something special." And you just kind of smiled at me. Then I said "well I like it because I like things in order you know." You gave me this smile. It was like the smile you gave me when we first actually started talking. That really beautiful smile. And then you said "I know" and kept the smile. Honestly, confused so much! You went from being so mad at me (it seemed), to acting like nothing happened and you were happy again.
And every time we had a timeout you would look at me and you would give me the smile. It made me so bubbly inside. I was feeling so happy. I was also worried though, because you were mad at me. And this is kind of like what Anna* did. She went back to being the best person I’ve ever known for a good week before she left, you know.
Then after the game I got to sit by you for a little bit. I saw your parents, I don’t know how I knew they were your parents but I just got the feeling. I think it was from the way you talk to them. I didn’t see Travis there so I asked where Travis and Logan were and you said that Travis is at home with Logan and McKenzie putting them to bed. I asked if he was having more fun than you. You said I don’t know. Then I asked what you would do if you came home to them having a water balloon fight in your kitchen. You just looked at me and said he knows better. That made me laugh. Like really hard and it made me smile really big. I guess my laugh made you smile. That also made me feel better. Then I asked you if when taking a picture you smile with your teeth or not. And then you smiled (with your teeth) and you said “with my teeth” And then you tried to smile without your teeth. It was the funniest thing. I loved it so much and it made me laugh and then it made you laugh. And I was happy because you were. We sat there and smiled and laughed for quite a little while. It was nice.
When the game was done, I asked you if I could give you an unannounced hug. You say yes and then patted my shoulder. Then we both get up and I say “no seriously can I have that hug” and then you do the same thing only different spot. Like it was still my back but it was more towards the center. I was confused and happy and I don’t know.
Then when you went to the locker room, I went in and apologized for February being a terrible month and being the month where I would probably freak out the most. You smiled and said that I was already a third of the way through February and nothing had happened. That actually kind of made me hopeful. I gave you a fist bump and then I went to start the car.
Then, going to start the car, I saw your parents again and decided to properly introduce myself. In fact I even said it like that. I said “I feel so rude for not introducing myself I’m *****.” Your mom told me what her name was, Caroline I think, and then told me that she already knew want my name. I kind of jumped to the conclusion a little bit and thought that maybe you told her who I was, but then I thought maybe sitting right next to that basically the whole time she just asked when I was gone and you told her oh that’s *****; one of the girls on the team.
I didn’t question you about this. And as I was walking back from my car I saw you and wanted to scare you. As more of a joke then actually wanting to scare you. I was going to jump out and say boo or something cheesy like that, but I didn’t see how muddy it was and I was afraid that my sandals and socks would get wet. So like an idiot I yelled “Flip Flops"then I explained to you why I said that. Then you just smiled that beautiful smile and said,’ you’re a dork. And it made me so happy. You were so happy. I wanted to come back; say something clever. But all I could manage was a smile and a big goofy smile at that. You looked at me and said "see ya” And I said it back. And then you drove away to go home to your loving family.
